On the latest episode of MBC's 'Rookie Director Kim Yeon-koung,' aired on the 26th, the Pilseung Wonder Dogs faced a narrow defeat against Japan's Shujitsu High School.

Following the match, Director Kim Yeon-koung held a video analysis session with the players to review the game. Focusing on Inku-shi's attack scenes, Kim advised, "What I want from you is scoring ability. You need to be aware of the situation before and after your attack, and check the defense's position."

Inku-shi candidly admitted, "I wasn't confident I could score immediately," to which Kim responded, "That's just an excuse. Let's not make excuses in this situation. Do you have anything you want to say or ask?" Inku-shi replied, "I don't think I have anything more to say."

Kim, visibly frustrated, shared, "I was upset because I didn't see the determination to do something. I wanted to see a fighting spirit, like saying, 'Coach, I made a mistake, but give me another chance, and I'll do better.'" In an interview with the production team, Inku-shi also expressed, "I couldn't speak at that moment. I wanted to say I won't make such mistakes again."

During training, Kim, as both a coach and a senior, offered further advice to Inku-shi. "You can make countless excuses, but that's a loser's mindset. If you aim for a bigger stage, you need to change your thinking. No one reaches the top easily. You can do it. You will do well," she encouraged, leaving a lasting impression.
