[Edaily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] Kim Yeon-kyung, now a coach rather than a player, leads the “Winner Wonder Dogs” with even more refined strategies.

MBC’s variety show “Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung 2,” which premieres on the 11th of next month, unveiled its second poster on the 16th.
“Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-kyung 2” chronicles the grueling and passionate journey of “veteran coach” Kim Yeon-kyung and the “Victory Wonder Dogs” as they establish their team.
The second poster captures Coach Kim Yeon-koung standing at the center of the “Victory Wonder Dogs” players, gazing straight ahead, which immediately catches the eye. Returning not as a “rookie coach” but as a “seasoned coach,” Kim Yeon-koung commands the viewer’s attention with an even more charismatic gaze.
Just as the phrase on the poster reads, “Beyond the Wonder,” Coach Kim Yeon-kyung and the “Victory Wonder Dogs” are embarking on a new journey—from underdogs to wonders, and now beyond the wonder. Anticipation is building to see what strategies and leadership Coach Kim Yeon-kyung, who has her sights set on even greater heights, will employ to guide her players this time.
In Season 2, the “Victory Wonder Dogs,” led by Coach Kim Yeon-koung, will face off against top-tier teams. All eyes are on the performance and teamwork they will display.
Additionally, the identities of the “Victory Wonder Dogs” players—still shrouded in mystery—are sparking curiosity. All eyes are on who will be selected by Kim Yeon-koung to take the court alongside her.
Season 1 of “Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung,” which debuted last year, caused a sensation in the entertainment industry, winning awards such as the Program of the Year at the “2025 MBC Entertainment Awards” and the Best Variety Program in the Broadcasting Category at the “62nd Baeksang Arts Awards.”
“Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung 2” was produced with support from the Korea Communications Commission and the Korea Communications Agency (KCA). It premieres next month on the 11th at 9:10 p.m.
