■ Interview: Park Ji-seong SBS Commentator
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Welcome.
nice to meet you
I won't talk long.
Park Ji-sung, commentator, appeared.
welcome.
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Hello.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Do you remember when I happened to meet you in the SBS lobby a while ago and asked for a picture?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes, I remember.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: It was my first time.
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Thank you.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: It's not the first time you've been a commentator.
Yes?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
This is the second time I have worked as a commentator since 2018.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: It was the first time I gave a commentary 4 years ago.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes, it was my first time.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: How do you look back?

▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: It was definitely my first time doing it, so there were parts that were a little difficult, and I think there were parts that were lacking because the practice period wasn't that long.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: I did it once 4 years ago, so I am more confident in my commentary on the 2022 Qatar World Cup than 4 years ago?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: I believe that I can definitely show a better side of myself.
I'm also practicing a lot, so I'm sure I'll get better.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: As expected, working with Caster Bae Seongjae is the most important thing, right?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
Caster Bae Seong-jae has been around for a long time and is a good caster, so I get a lot of help from my side.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: And Ji-Hyun Jang, commentator, will you do it together this time?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
This time, it is likely that the three of us will be together.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: What part is the most important when commenting on the Qatar World Cup.
Isn't it a strength that commentator Park Ji-sung is also a player who played in the World Cup himself?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: I think the fact that I played a lot of matches in the World Cup and that I experienced European football would help a lot in commenting.
Also, I'm still living in London, and watching the Premier League and overseas soccer, I think that there might be some strengths in the modern soccer trend.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: I am practicing hard for this commentary.
Have you met even with Caster Bae Seong-jae and practiced like this?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
We are meeting now and reviewing past matches together and rehearsing commentary again.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: The video that caster Seong-Jae Bae and commentator Ji-Sung Park broadcasted together seems to be ready once, so let's watch it and let our commentator Ji-Sung Park do their own evaluation.
Shall we watch a video?
#VCR
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Don't you think, 'I feel much more comfortable playing as a player on the field after commenting'?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: For me, it is much more comfortable to play in the field and on the pitch.

▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Looking back on four years ago, what part did you think was a little difficult when explaining?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: I have to talk right away on the spot, and since it’s a live situation, I was not familiar with the parts that I had to say and not said on the show, so that part is the most difficult and now I have to say the pronunciation and vocalizations. Because I am not the person who aired the same part.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: That’s right.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: I think I felt a bit difficult in that part.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Ji-Sung Park, commentator, will understand what all the viewers are saying, what kind of voice they make, and what kind of vocalization they make.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: It doesn't seem like that these days.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Don't you think so?
I saw the commentary 4 years ago.
We found an interesting YouTube video, and Mrs., I'm a former SBS announcer. So, there's also a saying that commentator Park Ji-sung is 'SBS' son-in-law'?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: There was such a thing.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: There is another YouTube video where you and your wife are self-evaluating, so I enjoyed it too.
Shall we take a look?
#VCR
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Bae Seong-jae told Caster, do you want to lower your voice?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: I think I should tell the PD about that.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Through the PD, Bae Seong-jae's voice is too loud.
That's a YouTube video that I made fun before the World Cup. Anyway, my wife is also an announcer, so she talked about vocalizations earlier, so I'm going to talk a lot at home.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: I help a lot in that area, and I come here to practice with Caster Bae Seong-jae, but when I get home, I practice pronunciation and how to speak with my wife again.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Aren't our people's expectations very high for this World Cup commentary, especially for the Qatar World Cup and every World Cup?
With some determination, our commentator Park Ji-sung is actually saying this commentary, and even World Cup broadcasts are fiercely competitive, among broadcasters.
Commentator Park Ji-sung has come to the forefront again on behalf of SBS. Can you tell the viewers, 'If you listen to my commentary with my focus on a certain part, there will probably be a slight difference in this part'?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: It's definitely experience.
Everyone has different experiences, so each person has a different idea of football, and viewers can choose and watch it, but what I want to claim is that it will show a much more advanced image than the last time. My experience has grown a little this time, and the commentators will also grow just like I grew up as a soccer player, so I think it will be another fun to compare them and watch them.
Also, I think that we will talk a lot about what things it would be better to focus on when enjoying soccer.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Ahn Jung-hwan, commentator, will probably do it again at MBC, right?
You've done a lot of broadcasting.
Aren't you almost a broadcaster now?
He was a teammate at the 2002 World Cup.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: That's right.
He was a really good soccer player and now that he is a great broadcaster, we have to face off against the commentators ahead of the audience ratings together.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Did you meet and talk?
Before this commentary World Cup, did you say something like, 'We're going to comment on each other, let's compete well'?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
Ahn Jung-hwan and KBS's Koo Ja-cheol also talked about it all together.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Did Koo Ja-cheol play as a player again until the most recent?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Even now, I am still active as a player.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Jeju, I'm still playing.
Then anyway, commentator Ahn Jung-hwan didn't leave football completely, he was doing soccer-related programs, and commentator Park Ji-seong was living in London, the mecca of football, and watching European football continuously.
I came out as a commentator for the Qatar World Cup, and it can be said that it is a really interesting promotional video for our commentator Park Ji-sung. I think this was made by SBS.
Shall we see?
You may be embarrassed to see it again and again.
Shall we take a look?
#VCR
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: This is a really fun video.
shyly hit 'Like'.
Have you ever actually?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: No.
There has never been.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: I was watching that video a while ago, and maybe it was a kind of goal ceremony to go like this at the end?
Do you remember this time, when did you hold this ceremony?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
2010 World Cup in South Africa against Greece.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: 2010 World Cup in South Africa If you think about it now, of course, we had the best results in the away World Cup.
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
I remember, of course.
As it was one of the World Cups that I personally regretted a lot, it leaves a lot of regret, but anyway, the goal we want to achieve is achieved through the tournament and we are satisfied with that.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Advance to the round of 16.
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: The thought that we were dominant before Uruguay at that time still remains.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: It is true that we played a very good game, but soccer is not something you can win with just your skills, and the luck of the day also plays a role.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: That goal against France, I remember now too, but isn't that a bit of luck?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
That's right, of course.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Is that right?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Now, when luck works like that, we score goals and draw like that.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: I think it was the goal that really shocked France, the strongest in the world.
Speaking of Uruguay, did Suarez play back then?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
Then Suarez scored two goals.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: And maybe this time it will still come out.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: He is a player who has a lot of potential to appear.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Suarez said, isn't it our first match in Uruguay, this time?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: That's right.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Is he still the player we should be most wary of?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: There are players who see Suarez or Nunes strikers, and now I think that these two players will be the most intimidating player for the Korean team due to the harmony of old and new.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: It was always difficult for Korea to play the first match at the World Cup, right?
Is it because I'm too nervous, how are you?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: But if you look at the good results, you won the first match to advance to the round of 16, and because you played at the 2002 World Cup or the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, winning this first match is the best way to advance to the round of 16 that our team wants. I think it will be a big turning point.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: When the World Cup group was formed this time, many fans applauded as Japan and us were left at the end, Japan went to the group of death and we went to this group, but as time went on, they were like, 'Oh, this is because we are like this. Do you agree with many realistic judgments such as 'It's not a group to be relieved of', 'Isn't it a group that we could end up in again here?'
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: On the stage of the World Cup, I don't think there is a single group where Korea can be evaluated as being in a good group.
Just because there is a really difficult group or a difficult group, this group can be judged to be a difficult group, so it can be said that the chances of the round of 16 have increased, but that doesn't mean that progress to the round of 16 is really high.
As we always have to play as a challenger on the world stage, I think we have to prepare well in the meantime with a little luck.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Then, perhaps honestly, I was curious about this when I was a player, so I was asking.
Before the World Cup match, were there really times like, 'Hey, let's be honest, let's aim for a draw in this match as a non-journalist' or 'We can't do it all by ourselves anyway'?
How is it?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: There is no game where you think you are a non-journalist.
But now, let's not eat goals.
Because there is a chance that a chance will come in an instant, so let's not miss it and don't score a goal.
Because when you score a goal, you are led to a very difficult game over and over again, so I think I played with that thought a lot.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Won't our first match against Uruguay be the biggest turning point this time, in that respect?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: That's right.
I am judging that Uruguay is the second strongest team in this group, but the rest of the game is a little more comfortable and we can go in the direction we want because we caught that match. I have to play the first game, so I think the first game is the most important in order to advance to the round of 16 in Asia.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: The first match is the most important and you have to win.
You have to play to win.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: That's right.
It looks like it will be a match that should bring at least one point.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: The first match against Sweden in the last Russia World Cup was too defensive, it was worth trying.
After the game, there were a lot of fans who gave that kind of evaluation again.
How was it when you saw it for yourself?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: I think it was a bit disappointing.
The fact that the players did not play properly as a team even though their skills were better than that, and the fact that there were injuries in the early part of the first half caused setbacks.
Also, it can be said that such things are a part of luck, but those things don't fit, so I think we need to prepare well from the first game and show the players 100%.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: I personally do not agree that our football is no longer called a marginalized country, but we lost to Brazil, which is said to have the best skill gap in the world, a little while ago. There's a huge difference like when we competed, isn't it, now?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: I don't think there is such an extreme difference.
Because there are players like Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae who go out to Europe and perform well, and if there are players who can experience European football for themselves and share it with the national team, then at that time, they would go to the World Cup without experiencing anything like that. Because we had to face each other directly, I think the biggest difference between fighting knowingly and fighting without knowing, that part is probably the biggest difference between this era and that era.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Then, let's talk about the Korean national team from now on.
Commentator Ji-Sung Park must have been watching the match with interest.
We will continue the story by watching the video before the evaluation of the Korean national team.
#VCR
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: As expected, the main axis of our national team is Son Heung-min.
It must be the core of our tactics, Son Heung-min.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Heung-Min Son is probably the player that opposing teams also check the most, and he is the most important player mentally and technically because he is leading the team as a team and now as a captain.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Who is another attacking resource that can be exploited by digging into the gap when the opposing defense is concentrated like this for Son Heung-Min?
I also think of Hwang Hee-chan.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Hwang Hee-Chan and Jung Woo-Young also performed well through this evaluation match, so how do you use those fast players as a result?
Also, I think Hwang In-beom, a player who can give a pass, will be very important.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Woo-Young Jung This time, while watching the evaluation match against Cameroon in the second round, I remembered Park Ji-Sung, commentator?
He's been running really non-stop, have you ever thought of that?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: I was really surprised when I saw this evaluation match.
He runs a lot for the team and creates good chances to the extent that I think he was a good player to that extent.
That's why I think that Bento's concerns will probably deepen a bit.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: That worry must be a happy one.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: That's right.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: That’s right.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: There is Eui-Jo Hwang, there is also Kyu-Sung Cho, and now there is another card called Woo-Young Jung, so I think that is a good sign for the national team.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: After Park Ji-Sung, commentator, played one game during his active career, didn't it come out scientifically how many kilometers he ran at that time?
How many kilometers does he usually run, at the time?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: I think it was about 12km or 13km.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: It’s not like I run it with all my might.
In fact, isn't it the case that the players run wildly?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Because it includes all movements, it seems that you have to go into detail to know how fast you ran in it.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: I feel like my heart will explode, I feel like I am going to die here.
Have you ever?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Of course, I thought about it until it was difficult, but I don’t think I even thought that I was going to die.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: No, it's worrying to see commentator Ji-Sung Park playing in the Premier League, especially when he's on the screen.
He goes from front to defense and then jumps back up again.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Run only when you see the camera.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: A lot of fans this time, actually, I am also talking about Bento's tactics and such, but I think that it is a bit over the line, but there was a lot of talk about Lee Kang-in not being hired this time.
Commissioner Ji-Sung Park must have thought about it, and I think he's been asked a lot of questions.
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: The part that he was boarded for the national team after 1 year and 6 months, based on his very good performance in the Spanish league, he was now selected for the national team, There is also a personal wish that it would have been better to judge by looking at it in person.
Also, since it is an evaluation match as many fans want it to be, it was an evaluation match that left some regrets about what it would have been like if they were given a chance at least once.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Lee Kang-in is very young.
But, of course, there will be a next opportunity. Every player dreams of going to the World Cup.
So, can Lee Kang-in actually go to the World Cup?
With this left, now back to the Spanish league, where will performance be the most important variable?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: If you continue to show the way you are now, it seems like you will enter the national team's entry.
Whether or not Lee Kang-in can participate in the World Cup is another matter, but he thinks it would be good to prove himself by not being discouraged this time by himself and by going to his team and doing well.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Commentator Ji-Sung Park has probably been asked a lot of these questions this time. What do you think about whether our national team can achieve another away World Cup round of 16?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Personally, I would like to be able to advance to the round of 16, and I don't think it's a problem to say 'there is no possibility'.
Just thinking that the chance is less than 50%, how well do you prepare for the rest of the year and how lucky you are to go to the World Cup? I think that your support will also add a lot of strength to that.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: This time SBS suggested 'Let's be together once more, commentator Park Ji-Sung', and when you thought that I should accept it, what kind of thoughts did you have to accept?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: I don't think I showed everything I had in the last World Cup.
The preparation period was a little short and I didn’t want to do it at first because I showed my inexperience in that part, but I feel a little sorry for the other people who were broadcasting the World Cup together, so this time I practiced really well and showed a good side. I wanted to give and receive evaluation, so I decided to work with SBS again.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: I think that Park Ji-Sung's commentary will probably be watched by many viewers with faith and trust.
Are you concerned about the ratings?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: I didn't care about the ratings, but I'm getting a little bit more concerned because I keep talking next to you.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Shall we listen to a song that cheers the Korean national football team together with Commissioner Ji-Sung Park?
There was another World Cup cheering song called 'Let's Go Together', written by poet Won-seok Kang and probably composed by singer Chuga-yeol.
Wasn't this 'Shhhhh' ceremony in Portugal?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: That's right.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: And is it called a staring ceremony after scoring a goal in the match against Japan?
Does it just come out from time to time, or did you think about it in advance?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: I am not a player who scores a lot of goals, so I was not someone who could think like that.
It seems that the ceremony changed depending on the mood at the time when the goal was scored.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Why did this come out during the World Cup in Portugal?
Our audience cheered so much, why did you do this?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: Once the goal is scored, everyone in the audience screams, so I think it meant to be quiet for a moment, because I scored the goal.
I meant to be quiet once, but that was wrong.
It's one of those celebrations that shouldn't be done at home.
▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: And the ceremony in which he swung his arms wide feels really good.
Yes?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: At that time, because I scored an additional goal, I felt that the victory was a little hardened, so perhaps such a ceremony was held.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Min-Jae Kim, who will go to the World Cup with the expectations of the people, has also stood tall as a world-class player.
If you could tell our junior players a story of encouragement, what would it be?
▶ Ji-Sung Park/SBS Commentator: As the World Cup entry and who will go to the World Cup are yet to be decided, the team is in good condition without injuries, so many fans want and many people want to advance to the round of 16 and have a good appearance at the World Cup. I wish I could show you.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: I don't know if this was the old slogan, but was there something like 'Hot Again, the World Cup is SBS'?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Even in 2018.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Was that it?
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Yes.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Here I want to add one more, 'Commentary is Ji-Sung Park'.
Viewers, do you agree?
Commentator Park Ji-sung Listening to what he said today, I think that this commentary will be different from what it was four years ago. He answered any questions so well that I think today's interview went very well.
I have high expectations too.
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Thank you.
▷ Youngjin Joo/Anchor: Thank you for coming out today.
▶ Jisung Park/SBS Commentator: Thank you.
▷ Young-Jin Joo/Anchor: Viewers, are you looking forward to the Qatar World Cup with commentator Ji-Sung Park, too?
Looking forward to cheering for the Korean national team, we send cheers while looking forward to good performance.
