1. How did you feel preparing for 'Man in Europe 2025'?
We are grateful to everyone who loved the first season! Thanks to you, we could return with a new season. We were thrilled to support our players alongside Park Ji-sung and Evra again. However, we also felt the pressure to prepare even more enjoyable content for our viewers.
2. What discussions did the production team have before filming 'Man in Europe 2025'?
We constantly reminded ourselves that "this isn't just a show." We wanted to genuinely support our players who are fiercely competing for their positions in Europe. We aimed to prepare thoroughly and convey our support effectively.
3. How has 'Man in Europe' changed things for you?
Although we've created many programs on YouTube, 'Man in Europe' involved a large team, which was a new experience. It gave us the courage to create more enjoyable programs. As fans of Korean soccer, our support for the players has grown even stronger.
4. Were there any memorable events besides meeting Korean players?
The most unique event was being invited to Evra's charity match. It was a sudden decision, but it was a special way to show appreciation for Evra, who has always supported our players.
5. If there's a season 3, which player would you like to meet?
There are many players challenging themselves overseas. We want to meet all of them. Evra keeps asking if season 3 will be in Korea. He's excited about visiting Korea, so we are considering bringing Park Ji-sung, Evra, and Tevez to Korea for the next season.
6. What are the changes in this season, and what should viewers look out for?
We've upgraded the coffee truck support to include popular Korean snacks like tteokbokki. The interest in Korean traditional games has also increased, and we've incorporated them into the season. Additionally, a special former Manchester United teammate will make an appearance.
7. Any message for the viewers?
Thank you to everyone who loves 'Man in Europe'. We've put our best effort into 'Man in Europe 2025', and we hope you enjoy it as much as you've anticipated. Please continue to support our players who are giving their all in Europe. Thank you!
