The protagonist of the film, Yoo Jung-won, is a musician who plays the bass guitar in the Ddabak Band.

After a long rehabilitation and relentless effort, Jung-won was invited to perform again with the Ddabak Band at a special event in Sejong this year, marking an emotional moment.

This film is a work that unravels the touching experience of Ddabak Band member Yoo Jung-won being able to stand on the stage again through the subject of soccer. The film is filled with Jung-won's passion and challenge, and the warm stories of those who supported him.

In particular, the subject of soccer symbolizes teamwork, hope, and perseverance, and through Jung-won's story, it delivers deep emotion to the audience.

This work is especially meaningful as it was produced in collaboration between people with developmental disabilities and non-disabled people. The members of the Ddabak Band not only appeared in the film but also actively participated in the production process, adding authenticity to the film.

The short film "Ddabak Football Team" was first unveiled through a large LED screen at the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Culture and Art Sympathy Concert on October 28, 2023, and received rave reviews from about 300 spectators on site.
