Bae Sung-jae is set to reveal the inside story behind DinDin’s controversial comments regarding football.
TikTok’s original content, “Tiki Tiki Taka Taka Talk Talk Show” (hereafter “Tiki Taka Show”), announced on May 25 that a talk battle will take place between football experts Bae Sung-jae and Park Moon-sung, and shamans Sowon-a and Maehwa Doryeong, to predict the 2026 North and Central America World Cup.
The football expert team and the shaman team will clash over various topics, from the Korean national team’s group stage results to the final winning country. While the experts use detailed analysis, the shamans rely on fortunes, leading to an intense “tiki-taka” exchange. In particular, shaman Sowon-a froze the atmosphere with a bombshell statement about the Korean national team’s vibe, saying, “The chemistry between the leader and the older players is just too bad. There are rumors that it’s too noisy.”
Bae Sung-jae, who is broadcasting his fifth World Cup, showcases his incredible speaking skills by creating vivid scenarios as if he were watching the matches live. Ahn Jung-hwan even questioned him, asking, “Which god is constantly telling you these things?” as Bae predicted everything from national characteristics and the flow of the World Cup to broadcasting station viewership ratings.
Meanwhile, Bae Sung-jae also mentions the controversy surrounding DinDin’s football comments. In the past, DinDin appeared on a radio program hosted by Bae Sung-jae and drew attention for his harsh criticism, stating, “The Korean national team won’t make it.” The behind-the-scenes story of those bombshell remarks will finally be revealed.
The show also covers the various ways national teams try to demoralize their opponents to win. It is reported that Ahn Jung-hwan eventually burst out in frustration while talking about the bizarre psychological tactics he faced from opposing teams during his active playing days.
“Tiki Tiki Taka Taka Talk Talk Show,” where the battle of fate between football experts and shamans unfolds, is TikTok’s first original variety content in Korea and premieres on May 25.
