A new athletic idol was born one after another at the 'Idol Athletics Championship'. The MBC variety show '2024 Chuseok Special Idol Star Championship' broadcast on the 17th in Korea gathered attention from the beginning with the showdown between the Legend Team and the Super Rookie Team, featuring various events such as futsal, newly established breakdancing, and men's archery that created short videos or photos of idol legends. First, in men's archery, TWS and 'Trot Boys' advanced to the finals and had a close match. In the early stages, Trot Boys' ace Yong-tak showed his prowess by scoring 10 points from the first shot, seeming to take the lead, but TWS's Yong-jae equalized and then turned the game around, creating a thrilling development. After that, TWS's Shin-yu maintained the score difference calmly, leading TWS to victory and winning the gold medal. Next, futsal, which became a hot topic with the showdown between the Legend Team and the Super Rookie Team, was revealed. THE BOYZ's Sonu scored the first goal against the Legend Team, raising the atmosphere in the early stages. However, Highlight's Yoon Doo-joon also seized the chance for a counterattack and scored an equalizer, continuing the fierce battle between both teams. Later, The Wind's Choi Han-bin scored again, ending the first half with the Super Rookie's lead. In the second half, both teams exchanged leads and ties, engaging in an unpredictable close match, but VIXX's Leo successfully converted a free kick awarded for a foul by the Super Rookie, achieving a hat trick and leading the Legend Team to victory with a score of 4:3. This year, the newly established breakdancing event showcased various performances and splendid dance techniques from each participating team, receiving cheers. In particular, the DKB team, the first team in breakdancing, appeared with dancer BADA, who gained attention from 'STREET WOMAN FIGHTER', presenting a stage reminiscent of an actual dance competition. Meanwhile, the first championship in the breakdancing event was won by the BADVILLAIN team. Led by dancer Emma, they showcased high-difficulty techniques, including a triple high-speed back handspring, scoring an impressive 9.7 out of 10, winning by a significant margin. Kang Daniel and commentator Monika, along with LIP J, praised BADVILLAIN's stage, cheering enthusiastically. According to Nielsen Korea, the second part of the '2024 Idol Athletics Championship' achieved a 4.1% viewership rating in the metropolitan area, ranking first among all programs aired at the same time. Particularly, the scene where BADVILLAIN, who won the gold medal in the newly established breakdancing event, showcased their technique and flexibility, dominating the stage with remarkable tempo control, surged to a peak rating of 5.2%, capturing viewers' attention. The preview video for the third part of the 'Idol Athletics Championship', released at the end of the broadcast, hinted at a fierce and powerful golden sprint with events like relay, mixed-gender archery, and dance sports. The appearance of an idol sharpshooter who even broke the camera lens and the third part of the '2024 Chuseok Special Idol Athletics Championship', aiming for the throne in the popular dance sports event, will be broadcast today (18th) at 5:30 PM.
