Sooro's Rovers (으라차차 만수로)

England, a country on the other side of the world.

Here's a very familiar actor.

Go forward a little.

No, that was too direct.

That's it! Let's go.

Why is he telling...

the foreign players what to do?

This all began from a news article.

Actor Kim Soo Ro, who is famous for his love of football...

is known to have acquired a level-13 league English football club,

which is grabbing the attention of football fans.

Did you always like sports? - I love football, especially.

If I am to be born again, I'd like to be Mourinho.

That's how much I love football.

That much? - Yes.

I think a football coach is the best job one can have...

in his 40s and 50s.

And the best job to have in your 60s...

is to be a club owner.

I can never be a football coach anyway,

so I decided to be a club owner.

And I want to learn properly.

That's why I chose an English football club.

Never in a million years did I imagine I'd own a football club.

But now I do.

A Korean actor Kim Soo Ro...

suddenly became an English football club owner.

Even I, who don't know much about football,

knows it costs a lot of money to become a football club owner.

Which is why I was surprised.

Was Kim Soo Ro that rich?

I was aware of how much love he had for football,

but is that possible?

This is something only Soo Ro can do.

How much nosier can he get?

Is it that cheap? Shall I get one too?

The English Premier League is known to be...

formed of the most expensive clubs in the world.

Among the clubs, the value of Manchester United is...

estimated to be around 4 to 5 billion dollars.

And this isn't the only club that's of great worth.

Clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea,

and Tottenham which Son Heung Min plays for are...

estimated to be worth 2 to 3 billion dollars.

Acquiring a club of this size and fame...

is only possible if you're a world-renowned billionaire.

Often, business owners pitch in to buy a football club...

and share the stocks.

But an individual, who's not so rich,

buying a football club is...

extraordinary...

and purely unbelievable.

You need more than just money to buy an English football club.

It's about how much you're willing to support the community.

You need to take care of the elders,

like installing benches for them and so on.

It's not just about money.

They don't ask for your account balance.

It's all about how much you can support the local community.

Isn't this awesome?

Which team is this?

It's Chelsea Rovers of division level 13.

I used to own a celebrity football club named "Soosiro".

The experience from back then helps me manage the team now.

Soo Ro has the experience of being a club owner from before.

It really is the actor, Hyun Bin.

After hearing that he bought a division level 13 English club,

he made his friends worry.

He is a huge fan of sports...

and especially of football.

He's good with odd things.

He once set up a basketball team...

and ran it as the leader.

We once got into an argument during a game...

and stopped seeing each other for a year.

Then the team disbanded naturally.

After then, he formed a football team.

When I heard he actually became a club owner,

I was initially surprised,

but then I soon realized he's capable of it.

It's because I know he didn't buy it for fun...

but with a concrete aim.

Which division was it again?

I don't remember but it is far down the ladder.

He's now become the owner.

What worries me is...

that it's not his actual job.

I don't think he'll make any profit from running the club.

He's easily swayed,

and he likes to give to others.

That's what I'm worried about.

There are many people around me...

who want to become football coaches.

But he's the first one to be a club owner,

so this is new to me.

And I haven't heard of anything...

about division level 13.

Soo Ro is not the owner of an EPL team.

EPL refers to the first division of the league,

and the club Soo Ro bought is down the pyramid,

in division level 13, Chelsea Rovers.

The team of division level 13...

that Soo Ro has bought...

seems to be a very weak team.

So Soo Ro will be working...

as the owner, CEO, and COO.

That's what I'm guessing.

To run a football team successfully,

he'll need to be able to hire a qualified coach,

care for the fans with love,

and show excellence...

in general management.

Unless he is able to fulfill the multiple positions,

it is not very likely for him to succeed...

as a club owner.

Even before the program was aired,

Soo Ro began working as a club owner.

While I've flown to England back and forth for more than 20 times,

I wished I had some friends here.

Now I have my players.

This feels so overwhelming.

To think that I'll build...

new relationships with them,

it makes me feel fulfilled.

Let's shoot. Shoot!

You're handsome.

I love what they love.

It's inspiring to see how he's actualizing his dream...

at the age of 50.

Will I be able to do the same?

Soo Ro has finished reporting himself as the club owner...

at the Football Association.

The building of the football association seems very familiar.

It's division level 13. - It's like...

a supermarket in a small village.

Hello. - Hi.

It's nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Can't be on a contract...

You can't have him on a contract to this level.

Look at the cat.

He's so big.

How can a cat be so big?

Soo Ro has formed his group of staff...

who will manage Chelsea Rovers with him.

A football term for such a group...

is called a board.

A board includes experts of different fields.

For example, a PR expert, a marketing expert,

or an expert who can manage administrative works.

These experts should be experienced and skilled enough.

I wonder whether the members...

of Soo Ro's board are up to such standards.

The name of this program, Sooro's Rovers,

fooled and made us the board members.

Do you want to find out how I got fooled?

Let's watch it now.

The address says it's here.

They are all out to rent.

Even the stairs are steep.

Hello.

My goodness.

There's no chair in here, right?

You brought your own chair.

There was one outside.

You really came.

That's a precise kick.

Yes! It's a goal.

It's a goal!

It's Park Moon Sung, a down-to-earth...

football commentator.

He's a candidate for strategy director for Chelsea Rovers.

Please sit. - Yes, sir.

What is this?

You do love football.

It's been so long since we last talked.

I know. We only talked online.

Thanks for welcoming me here.

I haven't yet welcomed you. - No, you did.

You welcomed me with open arms. I could totally feel that.

I didn't know you'd really come.

Of course, I must come. I like that chair of yours.

This is... - Did you get sponsored?

Yes. - Goodness.

I have my own channel...

and broadcast. - That's right.

"Dal Soo Live". - That's right.

I often watch your channel.
