Lim Young-woong’s passion for the sport runs deep; he was an active member of a youth football team for a year during elementary school. Today, he channels this enthusiasm as the owner of the ‘Returns FC’ football team. His unwavering dedication to football is further evidenced by his numerous appearances on JTBC’s popular show ‘뭉쳐야 찬다 (뭉찬 – Let’s Get Together and Kick It)’ and his participation in ceremonial kick-offs at FC Seoul home matches.
