(One scorching day in June)

- Go for it! One more hit! - You can do it.

- Those were some great punches. - That's right.

- Keep going! - Keep going.

- Move faster. - Guard up!

Keep your guard up!

Stop.

Breathe.

All right. 1, 2, 3...

(Scared)

(The opponent is scary.)

That's it. Again.

(Afraid)

(Afraid of pain)

Gosh.

Turn.

(Exhausted)

(Even 3 minutes feels like forever.)

Two, three...

(Still, they keep moving.)

(Still, they push through.)

(Still, they take on the challenge.)

(They take on boxing.)

(Iron Girls is back.)

(tvN's madness is back on.)

(This time, it's boxing.)

(Boxing)

(ESPN's number 1 toughest sport of 2020)

(Inside the squared ring)

(Using only their fists)

(Fighting 1 on 1)

(A sport where you're on your own in the fight)

(In 2024, there were 1,916 boxing gyms nationwide.)

(The hottest sport at this very moment)

Never in my life...

have I thought that I'd be doing anything related to boxing.

That sound when you hit.

(A sport she has wanted to try)

I want to start learning soon.

I think I'd be better at boxing than Uie.

(A sport Ju Hyun is confident in)

It looks fun.

I just think it's something that needs to be done.

Nothing is impossible.

(They took on the challenge of boxing.)

(She has insane stamina.)

(Her punches are so powerful that even Captain Kim is surprised.)

(Their captain with iron stamina, Uie)

(She's a natural-born fighter with madness in her eyes.)

One, two.

(Even to the very end,)

(she keeps getting back up like a zombie.)

(A zombie boxer driven by madness, Park Ju Hyun)

(Flawless footwork)

- Gosh. - Nice.

(Incredible punching power)

(Mouths open in awe)

(The undeniable ace of boxing, Seol In Ah)

(A new member with flawless posture in every move)

(What's even more amazing than her form is...)

(Hit me!)

(her energy.)

(Shouting)

(She takes hit after hit,)

(but never backs down.)

(Bursting with confidence, Rocky Keum, Keum Sae Rok)

(The time they're given...)

(is 120 days.)

(They must overcome...)

(their dread of fighting 1 on 1.)

She's fighting a lonely battle all by herself.

(They're fighting alone.)

(They're fighting together.)

(Together with teammates who believe in each other...)

(more than they believe in themselves)

(They hurt together.)

(They sweat together.)

(They cry together.)

(The bloody, sweaty, tearful journey to becoming boxing champions)

- KO! - Iron...

- Girls! - Girls!

(Begins now)

(Two months ago)

(This place doesn't quite suit the Iron Girls.)

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

(Uie)

(She makes a graceful entrance.)

Am I the first to arrive?

Hello.

(I dressed up a little today.)

I think I'll go home now.

(Instantly feeling awkward)

I'm more dressed up now than I usually am at award shows.

How does this make sense?

This will be the first and last time I show up here in hair and makeup.

(Don't forget this face.)

(Uie only got dressed up for the first episode.)

(Walking in with all the elegance in the world is...)

(Park Ju Hyun)

(Uie bursts into laughter as soon as she sees her.)

(Walking awkwardly)

Uie. Let me see.

(Laughing)

Aren't you showing too much skin?

- Hello. - Hello.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

It really is a pleasure to finally meet you.

I can't believe I'm meeting actress Park Ju Hyun for the first time.

- I'm such a fan. - I see. It's been a while.

Aren't the shoulder pads a bit too much?

Your hair looks a bit too wet.

You're going to catch a cold.

Did you just get back from a run?

(They exchange warm greetings.)

You know this is our only opportunity, right?

Let's stick to being demure.

Water?

Did you just say oolong tea?

- Sure. I'll have some oolong tea. - "Oolong tea."

Are you thirsty?

How about cheers?

(While the two are fully immersed in their moment,)

(another Iron Girl enters the building.)

(Seol In Ah)

I'm sorry, but you two are...

being such celebrities right now.

- I'm sorry, but so are you. - You're right.

You know what? She'll be sitting next to you.

What am I going to do? Can you switch seats with me?

(One seat remains vacant.)

If it weren't for her injury, Seo Yeon would have...

Right. You're the eldest now.

Yes, I'm the eldest now.

(This isn't Seo Yeon's seat?)

The memories we made while working out together.

I miss them so much. I wish I could join them.

I love them so much.

But I've been receiving treatment for my wrist injury for a long time.

So I won't be joining the Iron Girls this time.

Boxing is actually scary.

The idea of having to hit the other person...

must be terrifying for them.

But once they step into the ring,

their eyes will probably harden instantly.

To my Iron Girls.

I have faith that you'll end up becoming champions.

There's no giving up inside the ring.

You can't throw in the towel. Got it?

I'll be keeping my eye on you until the very end.

(I'll be cheering you on until the very end.)

When we meet our new member,

I plan to come across as reserved.

(Who will be making Ju Hyun act shy and reserved?)

- Did you say mature? You? - Yes, I'm going to be mature.

In Ah, you're also shy around new people.

I'm very shy around new people.

- In Ah is the worst one. - Right.

What am I going to do?

(Peeking)

Hello.

Hello.

(The new Iron Girl who will be embarking on a boxing journey)

(Nice to meet you)

(From irresistibly charming romantic roles...)

(to intense action sequences, she nails them all.)

(The new Iron Girl is Keum Sae Rok.)

Yes.

Are you the second oldest...

- out of the four of us? - Yes, I am the second oldest.

What year were you born in?

- I was born in 1992. - I see.

So you weren't born in the 1980s.

(The second oldest, eldest, third oldest, youngest)

- Gosh, Uie. - I'm kind of nervous...

- and somewhat scared. - I'm sorry, but...

you were dressed in a white dress and sneakers when you came in.

So we're even more nervous.

Like you were at a photoshoot with the white dress and...

(Sneakers?)

(Sae Rok made a bold fashion statement upon arrival.)

I wanted to show...

my energy today, so I wore sneakers.

You're all so dressed up,

unlike how you were on the show.

- This is the first and last time. - I see. Right.

- We usually... - Being dressed up.

Since we don't need hair, makeup, and styling,

- it doesn't cost us much. - Yes.

- It's very cost-effective. - That's the best part.

We did try showing up with makeup on, but...

- Everything came off. - Right.

So did you really keep filming...

without any makeup on?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Really? - But...

- sweating makes you look pretty. - It does?

- You can't create that with makeup. - She's right.

- It's a result of our hard work. - Our values. Right.

Also, are you always this pale?

- Me? Yes. - You're always this pale?

- You're going to get tan. - Just think of it like this.

The money you'll be saving on hair and makeup?

You can use it for skin whitening.

Right. It costs a lot of money.

You end up spending a lot after the show wraps up.

(This is what being on Iron Girls is like.)

That's true, though.

- Do you work out regularly? - Now...

I normally work out every day.

- So like, - Gosh.

I used to spend 2 to 3 hours at the gym every day.

Even when I'm filming,

If I'm being picked up at 4:30am,

I go to the gym at 1am...

to get rid of the puffiness.

Yes, I never thought...

I was bad at sports.

How should I put this?

I can feel...

all the muscles in my body.

I'm aware of them,

so I've always been confident...

when it comes to sports.

I want to be known as one of the leading actresses...

in Korea when it comes to action.

The film series by Ma Dong Seok,

"The Roundup."

I wanted to be cast in it,

so I decided to film myself and send it to him directly.

Action.

(Sae Rok is working hard to become an action star.)

(Not only does she train for action scenes,)

(but she also spends 2 to 3 hours at the gym every day.)

At the core of action training...

is boxing.

That's something I thought to myself.

If I take up boxing,

I can build my stamina.

And if I keep at it,

I could actually get cast in an action role.

(This isn't a performance.)

(Sae Rok will be showing you real action.)

- What concerns you the most? - Me?

I didn't have any huge concerns,

but they kept scaring me.

They said it was going to be very tough.

- It is very tough. - They're right.

- It's actually very tough. - It's very tough.

I don't think they were trying to scare you.

It's like this.

You think, "They'll probably finish up shooting right about now."

- But try doubling that. - Really?

When you've practically fainted from exhaustion,

- that's when they finish shooting. - I see. Really?

- Yes. - Then...

(If it's that tough...)

why are you doing this again?

(why are you doing this again?)

- Tell me about it. - Tell me about it.

- Tell me about it. - Why are we here?

Tell me about it.

I actually couldn't ride a bike before this.

So I'd never thought that I would even enter...

a competition for bike riding.

But I did, through this show.

That gave me a lot of courage that I can do anything.

So...

I wanted to get more courage...

through trying something new.

For me, I experienced emotions...

that I'd never felt before in my life.

That dopamine rush.

So I understood why people do this.

I wanted to do it again.

That's right. For me,

I did taekwondo when I was young.

That sense of impact...

you get from hitting the mat or when you're fighting someone.

And I enjoy combat sports to begin with.

There's something fascinating about...

fighting within the fair rules of a sport.

(You're a true athlete.)

- That's cool. - That's just you.

I'm actually excited about this.

That's why I wanted to do this again.

(Thinking)

Have you ever hit someone?

(Have you ever hit someone?)

Was that not mature of me to ask?

How do you feel about that?

- We have to hit people. - I've filmed action...

sequences through a drama called "The Fiery Priest,"

and I'm bad at hitting people.

I think about the pain...

the other person will be in even before I hit them, so...

I'm scared that I'll hurt my face from boxing.

Me too. I'm scared I might get injured.

Right. I don't want my face to be scratched up.

My biggest concern is feeling intimidated.

Being intimidated by my opponent.

The possibility of having trained this much...

but not being able to hit my opponent at least once.

That's what I'm afraid of the most.

But no matter how tough something may be,

don't you eventually see it through?

So isn't it...

just a matter of doing it?

(What?)

We're all people who always follow through.

(We will follow through.)

Maybe I'm like this because it's my first time.

- Her eyes are so... - Right.

full of life.

(Her eyes show that she doesn't know what lies ahead.)

- How can I explain this? - Being...

Being in the ring is...

So I was thinking that we'd go hang out...

and maybe work out hard for two hours...

- How many hours? - Two hours?

(Did I say something wrong?)

- What do you think this is? - Wait.

- Two hours? - When we meet up in the morning,

we finish up at night. What do you think we do all day?

We work out.

They let us sleep, we wake up,

and what do we do? We work out.

So then we don't get to have fun after we eat?

Like sightseeing or taking walks?

- We do. - Did you not watch Iron Girls?

We have fun while putting pain relief patches on each other.

I just pictured Sae Rok in tears on our first day of shooting.

(I just pictured Sae Rok in tears.)

(She actually does cry.)

I want to...

- I want to go home. - You did great.

So then...

what's our goal?

What's our goal?

The goal of Season Two is...

becoming boxing champions...

- within four months. - What?

- Did you say champions? - In four months?

Champions? As in winning?

The difference with Season One is that...

your first competition...

- is in three months. - What?

What did you say?

(There is more than one competition?)

Wait. You said we'll be competing in four months.

I'm getting a strange feeling.

We're not competing once. There are multiple competitions.

(I guess it's not a matter of just doing it.)

I've given this some thought.

As soon as the match begins, go for the jaw and knock them out.

I think of that a lot.

- Then we'll be done with one punch. - Right.

But that could be us, Ju Hyun.

The person who's finished with one punch.

That's why we have to hit first.

As soon as the match starts?

- I feel like it could work. - Wait,

can we die from this?

She's so innocent and cute.

Gosh, this is completely different.

It's completely different from Season One.

We're pressed for time, then.

Right. We're even more pressed for time than in Season One.

(A few days later)

(Hoengseong Indoor Stadium)

- Hello. - Is it here?

Hello.

(The Iron Girls came together again for the first training session.)

(Something feels missing.)

Where's our captain?

We can't leave out our captain...

- in boxing. - We definitely need him.

- We need our captain. - Isn't he the best in Korea?

- The captain is... - He finally...

Hello.

Hello.

(Kim Dong Hyun, the captain of the Iron Girls)

- Hello. - We're so glad to see you.

We're so glad to see you.

Hello.

- It's great to see me, right? - We're so glad to see you.

Hello.

How have you been?

Hello.

(The whole team is finally here.)

You all know what we're doing, right?

- Of course. - Right.

He's become arrogant.

- You can't underestimate me now. - Right.

- You're right. - You're right.

My nickname is...

- Stun Gun. - Right.

- With one punch, - A knockout?

my opponent was down.

That's my punching power.

People also call you Cicada.

They do. You can look forward.

I see there's a new member.

Hello.

There's a certain...

vibe, you know?

When you look at a person, you get a certain vibe.

Yours is a little concerning.

I feel like you could...

get scared easily...

and be physically weak. That's the vibe I get.

Doesn't he sound like a fortune teller?

- What I'm... - Since he has experience.

Boxing comes down to punching style.

So tough people...

who like hitting enjoy it.

People who are like carnivores.

But I feel like...

you're closer to a herbivore.

I'll have to keep watching to get to know you better.

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also a little worried.

To be honest, when I heard that Season Two will be about boxing,

I thought Uie...

- would drop out. - Right?

I personally think this is a huge challenge for Uie.

- You're right. - The way I see it.

- It's because she can't hit people. - Not once in my life.

That's right, but...

I'm going to give it a try.

I'm excited to see that. What about you, In Ah?

I want to see if I'm a hot-blooded carnivore.

She's a carnivore.

You're a lion, the king of animals.

"Hey, you!"

She's actually the one person I don't want to...

- spar with the most. - Why not?

- You're really scary. - Right.

I've tried jiu-jitsu with her before.

(Gosh)

- I see. - She was just...

(Dong Hyun, In Ah)

(She charged at him without hesitation.)

- I got you. - Turn.

(She threw him down hard.)

Referee!

(In Ah fully subdued Dong Hyun.)

- I'm a beginner, though. - Among all lions,

she's the type to become the leader of the pride.

Let me be precise.

She's still a young cub,

but she has what it takes to become king.

- She's basically Simba. Simba Seol. - That's cute.

- I'm serious. - You're like Simba.

(Simba Seol)

Ju Hyun, as a boxer, the vibe you give off...

is madness.

- I think she's going to kill it. - What I mean is that...

she's neither herbivore nor carnivore.

She's just someone with madness.

She'll be back on her feet after getting hit.

She'll be back on her feet after taking a fall.

She'll be like this.

She'll be wearing her opponent down.

(Wearing her opponent down)

- Seriously. - "Wearing the opponent down?"

I'm curious to see how she fights.

Anyway, that was my blunt assessment of the four of you.

As the captain of the Iron Girls,

I've prepared something...

incredible and special.

You might go inside and...

run right back out when you see what it is.

- Why? What is it? - Come on.

- How do you feel, Sae Rok? - I'm scared.

It won't be hard right away, right?

Sae Rok. This is just the beginning.

Hey, please pay attention.

- Everyone. - We're going.

- Come this way. - Hey, is this...

- like a theater? - This way.

- Amazing. No way. - I know.

(What brings them to a place where you can't see a thing?)

(What brings them to a place where you can't see a thing?)

- This way. - Are they showing us the ring?

What? No way.

- I'm sure this is the ring. - What is this?

- See? I told you! - Gosh.

See? I told you!

It's so cool.

(The boxing ring for the Iron Girls)

(A Blood, Sweat and Tears Journey to be the Boxing Champion)

(Iron Girls 2)

What is this?

This is so cool.

Gosh.

Gosh, Iron Girls...

has gotten even bigger in scale.

If singers have their concerts,

fighters have...

- the boxing ring. - Yes.

Their stage.

- What? - What's up with this scale?

I knew that we would see the venue for the match,

but I didn't think it would be set up just for us.

Have you ever seen an actual boxing match?

- No. - Not in person.

- I see. - Just on television.

I prepared something amazing today.

- What? - What is it?

- I'm scared. - What is that bow tie?

- Some people are coming. - What?

- It's scary. - What do we do?

They are the referees.

This many?

(The 5 referees have bow ties on.)

One of them is the head referee,

(The head referee is in the ring.)

The four referees on the side...

check the scores.

(The 4 referees are placed on each side of the ring.)

To see who is winning.

(Then what about the players?)

- Then who is playing? - There must be more coming.

There must be someone else coming here.

- This can't be it. - Gosh.

- What is it? - What is it?

- That scared me. - What?

2025, Iron Girls Season 2.

We will begin the long-awaited...

special match that will announce the start.

- What? - It's a special match.

They must be having a match. That's scary.

First, in the red corner...

- Goodness. - Gosh.

- Who is it? - Gosh.

- Who is it? - Gosh.

- Gosh. - It's a woman.

- Who is it? - Gosh.

27 years old.

- Height, 165cm. - Gosh.

The bronze medalist of the 2024 Paris Olympics...

Women's Boxing 54kg class.

South Korea's first-ever...

female boxing Olympic medallist,

Fighter Lim Ae Ji.

- What? - I know her!

I know her.

She's so cool.

- She's so cool. - I can't believe it.

- Gosh. - Gosh, she's so cool.

She is South Korea's first Olympic medallist,

Fighter Lim Ae Ji.

She's an Olympic bronze medallist.

Why are you here?

Over here.

- She's so cool. - She's so cool.

- She will stand in her corner. - Hello.

- She's so cool. - She's so cool.

Hello.

She's in the red corner.

So that's how you stand?

- Next, the blue corner. - The blue corner.

What?

It says, "KOR" on her back. That's cool.

35 years old.

- Look at her muscles. - Height, 169cm.

- Gosh. - Gosh.

2020 Tokyo Olympics Women's Boxing 51kg class.

(She competed in the Tokyo Olympics.)

A good southpaw left.

She goes around.

(Video from OTAB)

The national fighter of the 2024 Paris Olympics...

Women's Boxing 50kg class.

Jung Ju Hyeong.

You're so cool.

You're so cool.

She looks so strong.

- We have to actually watch this? - This is so...

- I'm getting goosebumps. - What?

I'm getting goosebumps.

(They participated in this special match...)

(for the growth of women's boxing.)

- Wait a minute. - Oh, no.

- I don't think I can. - We have to actually watch this?

It's my first time watching it.

We're watching the match of national players.

I'm getting goosebumps.

Is this something we can do?

- They are both so cool. - National players.

Good luck.

(The mouthpiece)

They put on their mouthpieces.

The headgear may look like it protects the head,

- I don't think it will. - but the front part is open.

I don't think I should watch this.

I don't think I can do it if I watch this.

I think we'll get scared If we watch it in advance.

- Player. - He's checking.

- Amazing. - To see if there's anything banned,

and if she has all the safety gear.

How many minutes is it?

Is it three minutes?

(Iron Girls 2)

International Olympic boxing matches...

consist of 3 rounds, 3 minutes each,

but the recreational boxing matches you will participate in...

consists of 2 rounds, 1 minute and 30 seconds each.

So today's match...

will be 2 rounds, 1 minute and 30 seconds each.

Players, forward.

Do not hold each other,

- do not hit below the belt, - Yes.

- and stay away from the box. - Yes.

You may greet each other.

Fighter Lim Ae Ji...

Okay. Fighter Lim Ae Ji...

(Hitting)

Some people will show...

their energy to intimidate the opponent.

They're really doing it.

Oh, no. They're starting, you guys.

My heart is shaking. Why am I shaking?

Oh, no. Can we...

(1 minute and 30 seconds, Round 1, Start)

Oh, no.

The game is starting.

It's good to start the game by touching gloves.

She's fast.

(The two players stay away and explore each other.)

(She avoids the punch with swift movements.)

That's so cool.

(She's so cool when she avoids it.)

- I keep avoiding with her. - Uie.

I keep going like this.

Gosh, I think she will get hit.

- She can reach so far. - Yes.

(Ju Hyeong strikes Ae Ji in the face.)

- Gosh. - Goodness, I'm scared.

(Breathing out)

How are we supposed to...

(Gosh)

(Simba Seol is falling in)

(Ae Ji's counterattack)

(She strikes Ju Hyeong in the face.)

- Gosh. - Oh, no.

I can't believe I have to do that.

It's so scary.

(Can we really do that?)

- Goodness. - They're really getting hit.

Their energy is coming up.

(They become even more fierce.)

Gosh, she almost got hit.

(Swish)

(Swish)

Why do they make that sound?

They need to breath along with the movements,

- so you can't help but make that. - The energy goes with it.

(They take heavy breaths.)

Oh, no.

(Their hands and feet don't rest at all.)

Gosh, that's so fast.

Yes, they're so fast. How do we do that?

(Their hands and feet don't stop for a moment for the entire match.)

- They have amazing steps, though. - Yes.

There are different styles in boxing,

and they are both out-boxers.

- Out-boxers? - Staying on the outside...

- and fighting with distance. - I see.

(Out-boxers use their footwork...)

(to hit and pull back, using the ring extensively.)

(They keep a good distance from the opponent.)

(They have a lot of footwork to keep distance,)

(which uses a lot of their physical strength.)

So they don't keep penetrating?

That's an in-fighter. They keep going for it.

Like Mike Tyson.

(Video from YouTube BOXXER)

(In-fighters aggressively close the distance...)

(and engage their opponents from up close.)

When it's 10 seconds before the match ends,

- Ten seconds? - they ring the warning bell.

Let's go!

Okay, stop.

(1 minute and 30 seconds, Round 1 is finished.)

Did you hear them ring the bell 10 seconds before?

It's the end of the round,

so either go all in, or get ready to end.

That 1 minute and 30 seconds felt so long.

A minute and 30 seconds?

If you're up there, it will feel like 10 minutes.

- When you're up there. - Oh, no.

When the round ends,

you get a short rest period,

your cornermen will bring water and throw in quick tactics.

That's so cool.

(They revise tactics and rest with the cornermen.)

(Second out, 10 seconds before the rest period is over)

- Second out. - Why is it so short?

- What? - It's already over?

- Let's go! - Let's go!

That feels like five seconds.

(1 minute and 30 seconds, Round 2, Start)

- The last round. - This is the last round.

(The two players throw punches as soon as it begins.)

Goodness.

(They exchange close punches.)

(Round 2 becomes even more intense.)

- Gosh. - I'm scared.

That's intense.

Their stamina is so...

(Ju Hyeong's punch hits her face again.)

Oh, no.

It's starting. It's getting stronger.

Gosh, she's really getting hit.

That's so cool.

(Simba Seol's blood is boiling.)

You can appeal to the referee during the last round.

How?

If you go all out in the final round,

it can make it seem like you dominated the fight.

That way, you can gain the upper hand in the judges' decision,

which is why fighters go all in during the final round.

(They punch each other in the face and stomach.)

Counter.

(A punch to the face, a punch to the stomach)

(The match is building to a thrilling peak.)

It's so scary.

Please be careful.

I can't handle it.

(They become immersed in the match.)

(After this round,)

(the winner will be decided by the referee.)

(Both players put in all their strength.)

- Let's go. - Let's go.

(10 seconds before the match ends)

Only 10 seconds left.

Only 10 seconds left.

(They keep throwing punches until the end.)

That must be so strong.

They still have some energy left.

Stop.

(Round 2 ends)

- You're so cool. - Gosh. They're...

How cool.

- You're so cool. - You're so cool.

Thank you.

Gosh, that's so cool.

They dedicated their lives to boxing.

(They had a match together even with different weight classes.)

I can't believe I watched that.

- Good job. - Thank you.

(It was an honor to watch the match of the national players.)

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Good job.

Gosh, they are so cool.

It's shocking.

(The hot match ends.)

- Let's go down there. - Yes.

The ring is bigger than I thought.

It's so big.

- It's so big. - They're so cool.

(It feels much bigger up close.)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Do we go in like this?

This is my first ring entrance.

Gosh.

- Wait. - We will help.

- Like this? - Yes, like this.

This all feels off, right from the entrance.

- Hello. - Hello.

- You were so cool. - Nice to meet you.

You were so cool.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- You seem so shy... - Hello.

- in person. - Right?

They are so...

How can they smile like this.

They are so cute.

They're so different from moments ago.

How did you start boxing?

- I told my parents I wanted to, - First?

- but they said no. - Of course.

Their pretty daughter could get hurt in the face.

They said no,

so I got more worked up.

I started practicing,

- and I went home with scratches... - Yes.

and bruises all over me.

My parents said,

"Then what did you do?"

- "How many bruises did you give?" - "Make one more bruise."

Usually, if you get hurt,

they would say, "I told you not to."

"Then what did you do?"

"You need to make the same bruises."

- Yes, that's it. - So that's what happened?

They have a competitive side. I see.

Then what about you, Ju Hyeong?

- How did you start boxing? - For me,

- I started when I was 28. - What?

(She started at a relatively older age.)

Really?

That's almost impossible.

Starting at 28, and going to the Olympics as a national player.

I also started in recreational sports,

but I started playing in matches...

- after 3 to 4 months. - What?

- Just like us. - It's like our situation.

At the end of my first year,

as soon as I stepped into the ring,

I threw one punch and that was it.

- With a punch? - Was it a KO?

It took 15 seconds. She was knocked out right away.

(Ju Hyeong)

She won.

(The match ended in 10 seconds due to her unmatched skills.)

Is it over? My gosh.

(The match ended in 10 seconds due to her unmatched skills.)

They told me I shouldn't come here anymore...

and that I should go somewhere else,

whether it's the professional or the amateur league.

That's what happened,

and after a year in the amateur league,

I became the national player.

Then you were born with it.

- That's not easy. - You don't see knockouts...

in recreational sports matches.

But she threw a knockout in 15 seconds,

which means she has an amazing punch power.

She's incredible.

I went to a physical education high school,

and I had boxer friends.

When I saw those who won medals,

no one was left unscathed.

They're...

Right?

They always have a bruise somewhere,

or are really skinny because of the weight class.

What is it about boxing...

that makes you go through all that?

It's really tough,

but I keep thinking, "Once more."

"Just one more punch."

Even when I feel like giving up,

I think, "I just need one more. Just until there."

And then, before you know it,

it's yours.

(You see yourself grow before you realize it.)

It's always a 1-on-1 match,

so my skills may have improved this much,

the opponent can still be much better.

I'm sure there's always that situation.

The fact that I worked hard...

is separate from how good that person is.

So you don't think "Why did I lose?"

"I did better than yesterday, so that's fine."

I think that's how it goes.

In the end, it's a battle with yourself.

- It's about seeing a better me. - Yes.

They gathered for the first time today.

I had my first win...

after 3 to 4 months,

so I am confident that you will all be champions.

You will be, for sure. Good luck.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

I saw your will to win during the triathlon,

so I believe that you will all make it.

- Really? - Good luck.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Good luck.

- Let's sit. - Let's sit.

- Gosh. I'm tired. - I was nervous.

Now that they're gone,

my legs are giving in.

- I was excited, to be honest. - Yes.

I was excited to think that...

I would be fighting in this ring,

but to use her expression,

she said that she felt like throwing up.

My stomach was lurching.

We don't often get to see...

- people hitting each other. - Exactly.

Even when there's a fight on the street,

- we just go like this. - Right. That's all we do.

But they had to keep going.

I couldn't get used to the sight.

I feel like I shouldn't have watched it,

because it scares me more.

I saw what I actually had to do.

And 1 minute and 30 seconds seems too long.

I know.

I felt that if I didn't train really hard,

it would all be over for me.

When I was watching, it didn't seem that long.

A minute and 30 seconds didn't seem that long.

It may seem short...

since you already completed the triathlon in three hours.

But you will see...

- Right. - that it's different from that.

I think it will be the longest minute and a half in my life.

- It could be. - Seriously.

(Sighing)

To be honest, I'm not sure. No matter what we say,

- Yes, we don't have the experience. - it's different...

from actually having the experience.

If we could have...

a sort of sparring in the ring...

- Who will the opponent be? - I'm scared.

Who will we do that with?

(Who will the Iron Girls get to experience it with?)

You can all hit me with full power.

- Give me the gloves. - I want to try.

- Gloves. - Me.

- Seriously. - This could be my only chance...

to get to hit this guy.

- Promise me. - Okay.

If you're going to do it,

you really have to hit me with full power.

- Okay. - You can't be like,

"I'm sorry, I can't hit you."

- None of that. You have to do it. - Hold on.

- You won't be hitting us, right? - Never.

- Okay. - But...

I can guarantee that you won't be able to make a single hit.

Please give me a hair tie.

(Confident)

(The Iron Girls have...)

(endured going for 3 hours and 30 minutes.)

(They are as strong as steel.)

(3 minutes seem easy, right?)

(But it's different with boxing!)

(1 minute 30 seconds, 2 intervals)

(For 3 minutes, they will need to use their full power.)

(They need to use their whole body...)

(to bring out the most power in an instant.)

(Boxing is a battle of endurance.)

(1 minute 30 seconds, 2 intervals)

(It's a 3-minute match,)

(but they will get to experience it for 2 minutes today,)

(with a discount of 1 minute.)

(Will the Iron Girls be able to endure the 2 minutes?)

- Is it 4 on 1? - Let's go.

- Let's go. - Is it 4 on 1?

(The beginners don't even know the basics of boxing.)

- Who will try? - Gosh, the gloves.

- Ju Hyun. - You want me to go first?

Ju Hyun, you try.

- How do you do this? - Like this.

Don't you need this to protect yourself?

Like this.

- Gosh. - Push.

This is uncomfortable.

- I should cut my nails. - Yes.

I think she will be good.

You're cool, Ju Hyun.

The first in the country.

I think it's the first time for a complete beginner...

to get in the ring.

The first in our country.

Wake up!

You need to get revenge for your parents.

- Wake up. - Right?

He kidnapped your dog.

He kidnapped your dog.

They can joke around and have fun...

since it's not a real match.

If it's a real match, your legs shake like this...

when you get in the ring.

- Is that real? - I think I will be like that.

The rule is that you need to punch...

with all your strength during the two minutes.

And during the two minutes,

you can't give up.

That's too long.

Think of it as part of your training.

Put up your guard...

and keep moving like a real boxer.

- Okay. - Even if you're tired.

Let me tell you this in advance.

Don't announce it and go like this...

(Don't be passive when you throw the punch.)

Don't do any of that.

You need to think that you're giving damage...

and throw the punch.

(Make it full power so that you give damage.)

- Let's go, Ju Hyun. - Ju Hyun,

- you can do it. - Let's go!

- Let's go, Ju Hyun! - Ju Hyun,

- Let's go, Ju Hyun! - show him.

Stun Gun?

Whatever.

(She taunts him like a pro-level boxer.)

Power through.

(In response,)

(Dong Hyun takes initiative as well.)

(Thump)

Some people do that.

(She doesn't fall behind.)

(Blue corner, red corner)

Okay.

(Quick Boxing Facts: The red corner is for the champion,)

(and the blue corner is for the challenger.)

Let's go.

(Ju Hyun in the blue corner, Dong Hyun in the red corner)

(Will she be able to endure the 2 minutes?)

Let's hit the gloves.

(The 2-minute trial starts.)

Why are you trying to hit me?

I won't. Hit me.

(Punching)

Good.

Oh, nice.

Hold on. She's good.

(She doesn't know anything about boxing,)

(but she still throws punches.)

- Good. - I think she'll be able to hit him.

- Hit my face. - Don't talk to me.

Hit my face.

You just hit him.

(Unfortunately, she only brushed past.)

You just hit him.

(She swings with her best.)

You didn't. Hit my face.

(Thorough defense)

(Stun Gun is not an easy opponent.)

(All of Ju Hyun's punches are blocked.)

(Attacking with her full power)

- You're good. - I'm scared.

Oh, my gosh.

(She keeps throwing punches nonstop.)

- Look at her eyes. - Why is she so good?

(Mad)

He's protruding his face for her to hit him.

He's so annoying.

(Ju Hyun's desperate to hit his face.)

(Stun Gun keeps avoiding her.)

(Laughing)

- Hit my face. - I'm scared.

- She's good. Where are you aiming? - Gosh, I'm scared.

- She's good. Where are you aiming? - Gosh, I'm scared.

You're good. Keep going.

(It's been 1 minute since the trial began.)

(Panting)

Hit me.

(She begins panting.)

- Ju Hyun, you can do it. - Hit me.

Ju Hyun, just one punch.

- Ju Hyun keeps staring at him. - Gosh.

She never stops staring at him.

(40 seconds left.)

- She's good. - My face.

Stun Gun, you're pretty good.

(Laughing)

- Ju Hyun's good. - Gosh.

(Stun Gun drains her by avoiding her.)

(Teasing)

- Hurry. - It's even hard to hold these.

Hurry up. Punch hard.

Don't talk to me.

(Swish)

(10 seconds left.)

- Ten seconds. - Ten seconds.

(The Iron Girl with no boxing experience tried for 2 minutes.)

Ju Hyun. You can do it.

Give your all in the next ten seconds.

(Yelling)

(Without a single punch to the face)

(The 2-minute trial ends.)

(Falling down as soon as the 2 minutes is up)

You were good.

That was so exhausting.

(She's already knocked down from chasing him.)

I taste blood in my throat.

Right. It tastes like blood.

(Shocked)

I don't want to do it.

I noticed Ju Hyun has a pretty good punch.

- Really? - Yes.

- She's good. - That was cool.

You tried it for two minutes. How was it?

Two minutes felt like...

You're supposed to begin now.

I can't do it.

I can't move my arms. My muscles will ache tomorrow.

(Ju Hyun's 2-minute trial result)

(Stamina, punch)

(One-sentence review, Good punch but lacks stamina)

- I want to try too. - Sure.

Let me see how hard it is.

After Seol In Ah,

it's basically a break afterward.

Why would you disregard us?

The other two have soft punches.

- Sae Rok, say something. - It's better for us...

because he'll be out of energy.

- Right? - Yes.

Oh, my gosh. This is heavy.

Is it heavy?

(1 glove weighs 14oz, which is about 400g.)

I think she'll be good at it.

I have a feeling I'll get a few punches.

I can tell by the looks of her.

I won't be able to avoid everything.

(Simba Seol is excited.)

Go, Seol In Ah.

- I'm actually nervous to try it. - Right.

Give your all.

I'm Ju Hyun's sister. Gosh.

- Good luck. - You can do it.

(She needs stamina to last 2 minutes.)

(The 2-minute trial starts.)

(In Ah is aggressive from the start.)

How is she so good?

You're strong. What's gotten into you?

(There's a swishing sound every time she swings.)

- What's going on? - That's going to hurt.

- How is she so strong? - He's flustered.

You're so strong.

(In Ah's punch makes Stun Gun nervous.)

He's flustered.

(Jaw-dropping)

(Swinging with her all)

(It has been 30 seconds since the trial has begun.)

Why can't I hit him?

(In Ah keeps going at him without giving up)

(However, the captain is...)

(way above In Ah.)

(She throws her punches with her best.)

(Avoiding)

(But Stun Gun continues to avoid them.)

(What happened?)

- You hit him. - He got hit.

(She was surprised to hit him.)

(I'm a carnivore Simba Seol.)

I approve.

You hit me once. Okay.

(Simba Seol continues to attack aggressively.)

- I just brushed past. - Where?

(Staggering)

- You're drunk now. - I brushed past.

(Because she gave it her all, she quickly ran out of energy.)

(Panting)

You're exhausted.

(A different kind of energy consumption from the triathlon)

How long has it been?

(She still has 40 seconds left.)

(Since when did 2 minutes feel this long?)

- This is tiring. - Keep going.

- Stop pushing me. - I didn't push you.

(Pushing)

- Stop pushing me. - I didn't push you.

That's how he drains you.

- Don't push me. - Come on.

- It's all part of it. - Don't be sullen.

You can't sulk during the test.

(I'm boiling with anger. I'm coming for you.)

(Pushing again)

I said no pushing.

(Angry)

(Simba Seol, do your best.)

(10 seconds left.)

(She throws punches with her all.)

I can guarantee that you won't be able to make a single hit.

- I hit you again. - That's two.

(The 2-minute trial ends.)

Okay.

- You hit him. - She hit me twice.

(Panting)

Isn't it really hard?

Gosh.

Doesn't your throat hurt?

My throat hurts so much. I can taste blood in my throat.

(She experienced a new world for 2 minutes.)

Gosh, her punch.

If Ju Hyun's punch...

felt like a midsize car,

she was an SUV.

She has a good punch.

- She's good. - She's Strong In Ah.

(In Ah's 2-minute trial result)

(Stamina, punch)

(One-sentence review, Strong punch but lacks stamina)

- The eldest. - Go, sister.

Go, sister.

(The strongest among Iron Girls, Uie)

(Teasing)

Let's go.

(Will she be able to show what it means to be the ace?)

(Annoying)

(The 2-minute trial starts.)

- The look in her eyes changed. - Say hi.

Why won't you do the greeting?

(She throws punches nonstop.)

(But something doesn't feel right.)

What are you doing? Seriously.

- The cat punch. - It's...

What are you doing?

(The herbivore Uie's cat punch)

Punch hard.

I'm so tired.

Punch hard. With all your power.

(Her punches are still soft because she's a beginner.)

Gosh, because you have the stamina...

- A minute left. - One more minute.

(Uie has the stamina to support her.)

She has the stamina.

(She keeps moving without stopping.)

(10 seconds left.)

Uie, ten seconds to go.

(The 2-minute trial ends.)

- The captain's exhausted. - You have so much stamina.

- You have a monstrous stamina. - She has the stamina.

Two minutes wasn't so bad.

- I can see. - What?

- She can go for one more minute. - That's amazing.

Because she has the stamina,

she doesn't get tired. She's making me tired.

See? She doesn't even sit down.

She has crazy stamina.

- She has the best stamina... - She's a monster.

among us.

(Uie's 2-minute trial result)

(Stamina, punch)

(One-sentence review)

(Long reach and monstrous stamina, but weak punch)

You can do it. Come here.

(Lastly, it's Sae Rok's turn.)

- Just do it. - Yes.

- Okay. I'll do it. - Just do it to the end.

It's our first time to see Sae Rok exercising.

You can do it.

(Sae Rok is mysterious.)

She's a mysterious person.

I can't analyze her strategies.

I don't know what I'm like either.

- You can do it. - Good luck.

(Will Sae Rok be able to last 2 minutes?)

(The 2-minute trial starts.)

That was a greeting.

- Where are your manners? - Sorry.

Look at her eyes.

(A long and straight punch)

- It's long. - She has a long reach.

(Punching with her long arms)

(Sae Rok dominates the opponent with her confidence.)

(Her random punches...)

You hit him.

I can guarantee that you won't be able to make a single hit.

She has long arms.

I know. She has long arms.

Her arms are so long.

She's good. I knew she'd be good.

(Punching with all her might)

Corner him.

(Shouting)

(Shouting)

(Shouting)

How many minutes are left?

(She soon ran out of stamina.)

I'm so tired.

(Shouting)

I'm so tired.

Don't talk and save your energy.

- You have a minute left. - Sae Rok,

you still have a minute left.

Mom!

Mom.

I'm so tired.

I'm so tired!

(2 minutes feel like 2 hours.)

(Come on.)

I'm tired.

Help me.

- Help. - You ran out of energy.

(Groaning)

Mom.

(Laughing)

(Grunting)

(Yelling)

(Is she giving up?)

She's cute.

(She crawls.)

Sae Rok, you can do it. Keep going.

(Flopping down again)

(Teasing)

Ten seconds, Sae Rok.

Sae Rok, breathe.

He's so annoying.

Yes, just punch him.

Punch his face.

(Grunting)

(The 2-minute trial ends.)

That's what happens.

Hit him.

(Knock down with 2 seconds left)

(You're exhausted.)

(Panting)

Sae Rok, think about it again.

Sae Rok.

Call your agency.

- Tell them you can't do it. - What?

Tell them it wasn't what you expected it to be.

- Sae Rok is dying. - Sae Rok.

- Good job. - Are you okay?

- Breathe. - Good job.

Don't talk. Just breathe.

That's normal.

- Right? - Yes.

I told you. She has the stamina.

But she used all her energy in the beginning.

- She has a good punch though. - She burned it.

Gosh, I'm so tired.

- Just work on your stamina. - Gosh.

Sae Rok had...

the most dogged expression.

She was like, "Hey."

If she...

(Regardless of his compliments)

- She was... - Let's...

- really dogged. - Let's go home.

- She's going home. - I want to go home.

Wait. She said she was going home.

Help me.

(Sae Rok's 2-minute trial result)

(Stamina, punch)

(One-sentence review, Long punch, but very weak stamina)

- None of you tried it before. - Yes.

How was it?

I thought I was going to die.

When Ju Hyun said, "In Ah, one more minute!"

I was like, "What?"

- "It's not over yet?" - I was the same.

When I was in the ring,

- it felt long. - It was so long.

- It's different from watching. - Yes.

To be honest, two minutes...

weren't so bad.

You were the toughest to deal with.

- I think I smiled. - Yes.

- You scared me. - Yes.

You scared me too.

I can't remember anything...

halfway through.

I don't remember what I did.

You can feel the difference.

- Right. Your stamina... - I lack the stamina.

- Unless I work hard... - You're right.

to grow stamina,

I won't be able to catch up.

In boxing, you use your whole body...

without a break during the round.

(Boxing is an intensive exercise.)

You must bear the weight of the heavy gloves...

and throw a strong punch at the same time.

Your whole body is tensed throughout the whole round.

Because you have to move without stopping,

it consumes a lot of energy.

(Calorie consumption per sport in 60 minutes)

(Burning 900kcal per hour, The number 1 calorie consumption)

To last long in the ring, you need the stamina to support you.

(There is no time for this.)

Now, let's begin...

your training.

There's more today?

"There's more today?"

You need it the most.

Let's move on to the training now.

- Okay. - Let's go.

- Let's do this. - Wait.

Can we...

- What do you want to do? - chant together with me?

Oh, right.

- Yes. The chant. - That's right.

- Let's do it. - Let me join you.

- Of course. - Come here.

But...

if you try something new...

Let's go with KO.

- KO. - Yes. KO.

KO? Okay.

- It's the first time with Sae Rok. - I know.

- Our first chant in Season Two. - Yes.

- KO. - Iron...

- Girls. - Girls.

- Let's do this. - Let's do this.

- Let's go. - Okay.

- Okay. - I prepared...

amazing training.

Something suitable for the Iron Girls.

To be honest, those two minutes were shocking.

I thought I'd look cool like in the movies.

I thought I'd look cool.

- On the ring... - I thought you were...

trying to look cute.

(Embarrassed)

Didn't she do this?

(They can't help but make fun of her soft punch.)

(Soft punch)

(Forget about Uie's soft punch.)

(Uie's fierce punch is coming soon.)

(Staring)

We're going up.

(We're going up.)

(The uphill continues.)

My ears are deafening.

- Oh, my. What's that? - What's that?

We're not going there, are we?

Hey.

Does it say Iron Girls?

(A mysterious object outside the window)

I've seen that before.

- What's that? - What is that?

- To test your fear. - It's a tourist attraction.

Seriously, I don't know what to say.

For real? You're kidding me, right?

We're doing this on the first day?

- No way. - Where are we?

This is beyond my imagination.

Guess what?

(Where will Iron Girls 2's first training take place?)

- What am I doing here? - What is that?

- It says Iron Girls. I was right. - Really?

How high is that?

This is where the 2018 Winter Olympics took place.

It's the ski jump center.

(Pyeongchang Ski Jump Center)

- Did they jump here? - Oh, my gosh. That's so scary.

(The ski jump competition that runs down the steep slope...)

(took place here.)

What are we doing at the ski jump center?

Let's go.

Is this really May? Why is it so cold?

- It's cold. - It's really cold.

- Are you sure it's May? - Everyone.

- Are you sure it's May? - Everyone.

- Are you cold? - Yes.

- Soon, you'll feel hot. - No.

Soon, you'll feel hot. Don't worry.

You'll prefer this weather.

(What are they doing here?)

- What are we doing here? - Here?

In the last season,

- we went up a building. - Yes.

- Yes. A tall building. - We went up the stairs.

It's the symbol of Iron Girls.

Something intense from the start.

We'll begin our first training today.

Your training today is...

(What is Iron Girls 2's first training?)

Your training today is...

going up the ski jump ramp in reverse.

(Going up...)

(the ski jump ramp?)

- What? - Are we able to climb up there?

(Continuing from the 123rd-floor stair climb from Season 1)

(Iron Girls 2's intense stamina training)

We have to get up there.

Reverse up? Is that even possible?

Did they make this because of us?

You're right. No way.

Why are we doing it in reverse?

It's meant to come down.

Something others don't try.

Something hard.

That's what Iron Girls do.

Let me tell you about your training today.

The total length is 400m.

It starts from here.

You'll start from here.

You'll go all the way up.

Do you see the blue box?

- What? - That's 300m.

You're lying.

Because...

(Flat zone, the 1st slope, the 2nd slope)

(A total of 3 training courses)

The first 100m is flat.

(The first 100m is a flat zone.)

(A 25� incline, the 1st slope)

(The last 100m is the hardest, The 2nd slope)

How steep is that?

The max angle...

- is 38�. - What?

It's about 40th floor high.

It's basically as steep as a cliff.

Do we have to crawl up there?

As you know, you need cardiovascular endurance,

muscular strength,

and a brave heart.

- If you look back, - It'll be scary.

it's scary, so...

it'll also help train your mind.

This is important...

because you take steps with the balls of your feet.

(The step is the basic movement in boxing.)

Your calf muscles are very important in boxing,

and in the end, your power comes from your calves.

This ski jump training...

will help strengthen your calf muscles.

Is it possible to climb up there?

- Has anyone tried it? - There is...

actually a race-up competition.

(The ski jump race-up is real?)

Since 2011, it has taken place in 19 countries.

Was it held in Korea too?

It was held last year.

A lot of people joined the event.

It went viral.

There was a cut-off point for female participants last year.

- What was it? - That was...

- 11 minutes and 23 seconds. - What?

(Within 11 minutes and 23 seconds)

- The number is limited. - Is that possible?

I'll give you more time...

and make it 12 minutes.

Our goal is to make it before 12 minutes.

(Race up this steep in 12 minutes?)

If you make it in 12 minutes,

it's the end of the training.

(If you make it in 12 minutes, it's the end of the training.)

- Really? - Really?

What if we can't make it in 12 minutes?

If you can't, you'll do it one more time.

(If you can't make it in 12 minutes, you have to do it one more time.)

- We have to go back up? - Yes, one more time.

(If they can't make it in 12 minutes,)

(they have to go back up again.)

(Screaming)

This is our first training?

It sounds so tough.

Actually, I'm not scared...

because I haven't tried it yet.

I can do it.

- You're so lucky. - I'm okay...

- because I haven't done it. - Right?

I'll make it in 12 minutes.

That's the spirit.

- It means our training... - I can't do that.

ends in 12 minutes. It's a good thing.

Says who?

You said...

if we complete it in 12 minutes,

we're done for the day.

This training is over.

This training is over.

Never mind.

I hope you get used to it soon.

Welcome.

- Welcome. - Is this your first time...

in Iron Girls?

That's how it is in Iron Girls.

Let me...

Let me...

- give you a tip on this. - Okay.

- Once you're somewhere up there, - Yes.

don't ever look back.

(Advice like a horror movie cliche)

- I guess it's scary. - If you look back,

it feels like you're hanging off a cliff.

- Come on. - That was why I screamed.

(Look back,)

(and it's an endless cliff.)

The maximum slope is 38�.

The height is 140m.

It's as tall as a 40-story building.

(They must climb using only their legs.)

(They must get to the top...)

(with the 12-minute time limit.)

Please head to the starting line.

(Can the Iron Girls do it?)

I'm nervous.

Grit your teeth and power through.

I'll follow the last person.

- I'll turn the clock on. - Just focus on reaching the top.

- You can do it. - We can do it.

- Thank you. - We can do it.

Don't step on the rope. It's dangerous.

- Yes, it's dangerous. - Please.

(Laughing)

- Shall we do a cheer? - Okay.

- Start after "KO Iron Girls." - Okay.

- KO! - Iron...

- Girls! - Girls!

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Let's cheer again at the top.

Get ready.

(The Iron Girls set off.)

(The first 100m of the 400m course is flat.)

(They run calmly at their own pace.)

Gosh. The closer I get, the less I can see the end.

(The steep slope is before them.)

I can't get a feel for it.

- Hold on. - This feels strange.

(All four run toward the slope.)

(Running to the steady sound of their footsteps,)

(they quickly reached the 100m flat stretch end.)

(And...)

(from now on,)

(the real 1st incline begins.)

It feels much higher now that I'm up close.

(The average slope is 25�.)

(They've now entered the incline section.)

(It's hard to run because of the inclination.)

(Breathing heavily)

(The stadium is filled solely with the sound of breathing.)

(They've passed 150m of 400m.)

(The slope starts getting steeper from now on.)

It's slippery.

(For balance, Uie starts climbing on all fours.)

Wait.

(Ju Hyun, who was behind her, also gets on all fours.)

Be careful.

Okay.

I'm scared.

(Sae Rok starts climbing on all fours as well.)

(As it requires full-body effort,)

(her breathing gradually gets heavier.)

(While everyone is climbing on all fours,)

(In Ah is walking up fast.)

(Walking up)

(Simba Seol's sprint)

(As the others crawl up, In Ah picks up her pace...)

(In Ah)

(and takes the lead.)

(Once she's in the lead, she begins climbing on all fours.)

(Remaining time: 10 minutes)

(Remaining distance: 200m)

(The Iron Girls' current location)

(In Ah, Sae Rok, Uie, Ju Hyun)

(Current slope: 35�)

(Groaning)

Is this for real?

This is crazy.

(The steep slope looks endless.)

(She's already out of breath, gasping for air.)

(Meanwhile, Uie's...)

(breathing remains calm.)

(Uie isn't fast,)

(but she keeps climbing at a steady pace.)

(Uie)

I'll show them.

(Sae Rok is climbing at a pace similar to Uie's.)

(Sae Rok)

(She's going up steadily.)

(At that moment,)

(she suddenly looks back.)

(Groaning)

I'm scared.

(Under her feet is a steep cliff.)

I'm scared.

(A chilling fear creeps down her back.)

I can do it.

I can do it.

I can...

do it.

(While Sae Rok is overcoming her fear and climbing up)

Let's go, Ju Hyun.

Why is it so slippery?

Come on. We have to go.

- No. - What was that?

(Ju Hyun's legs gave out.)

- Why did I slip? - Grab the rope.

You're lacking leg muscles, not stamina.

What do I do?

My calves are...

Don't take any breaks.

My ankles are weak.

I had to wear casts quite often.

- My calf muscles must be weak. - Just a bit more.

We're almost there. Let's go.

Keep going. Just a bit more.

Why can't I get my calves to work?

You're doing great.

Lift your feet slightly.

You're almost there. Let's go.

Come on. Just a bit more.

(The incline is causing constant strain on the calves.)

This reminds me of us going up the stairs.

- I'm having deja vu. - Exactly.

- Let's go. Come on. - Oh, my.

(She can't pick up the speed.)

(In Ah, Uie, Sae Rok, Ju Hyun)

(The gap has grown little by little.)

In Ah is killing it.

(In Ah is in the lead.)

(Simba Seol is roaring.)

(Climbing up like crazy)

Help me.

(And then, she lost all energy.)

(After catching her breath for a second,)

(she starts climbing up like crazy again.)

(She has lost all energy.)

(After repeatedly rushing up and then taking breaks,)

(she's now at the end of the 1st incline section.)

(Breathing heavily)

(After catching her breath one last time)

(In Ah starts running up the cliff.)

I imagined something was chasing after me.

Look back, and I'm dead meat.

(The slope has leveled out again.)

(She has passed the 1st incline section.)

(But the real part starts now!)

What's that? That's crazy.

(The brutal 2nd incline section)

(A steep slope with a maximum incline of 38�)

(An even more dizzying height)

(The last 100m is climbing toward the sky.)

(In Ah has entered the steep slope.)

(Uie, in 2nd place, is right behind In Ah.)

I'm almost gone.

(Smiling)

(Her stamina is still at maximum.)

(The stamina freak continues to look calm.)

(Going up in her initial pace without getting tired)

(And...)

(Sae Rok is in 3rd place.)

(She calmly reaches 300m.)

(The Iron Girls' current location)

(In Ah, 350m)

(Uie, 320m)

(Sae Rok, 300m)

(Ju Hyun, 270m)

(They have about 5 minutes left.)

(Will the Iron Girls make it in time?)

(In Ah's current location: 350m)

(The next level of the slope is giving her a hard time.)

(In Ah, Uie)

(They're practically climbing up a cliff.)

Walk. I must walk. Stop.

Walk.

Go down, and you'll fail.

(In Ah walks up the 38� slope.)

Endure it.

No. I can't endure it.

No. Endure it.

(While torn between two egos)

Endure it.

(She climbs up with explosive power.)

(Her back looks like that of a wild animal.)

(Like she can devour everything)

(And Stamina Queen Uie is climbing right behind her.)

(Going at the same pace as when she started)

(Looking fresh without a sign of fatigue)

(Unlike In Ah, who used a burst of energy and is now resting,)

(Uie keeps climbing slowly without taking a break.)

370m.

(In Ah, Uie)

(The two are right before the finish line.)

(In Ah's current location: 380m)

(Screaming)

(Out of energy again)

(Passing out)

You, production crew!

(We prepared something intense since it's been a while.)

Who made us come up here? Why are we doing this?

(Simba Seol is tired now.)

(Glancing)

You can do it, In Ah.

Just a bit more.

You're almost there.

(Uie cheers In Ah on from behind.)

(Struggling)

(Encouraged by Uie,)

Here I go.

(she starts climbing again.)

(Squeezing out the last bit of her strength to go up again)

I can do it.

(She's back to being a wild animal.)

(The final burst without stopping)

(Using all her strength as she continued to climb,)

(In Ah reached 400m.)

(She arrives with a last roar.)

(In Ah has completed the course.)

(What time did In Ah arrive?)

(In Ah's ski jump race-up record: 10 minutes 19 seconds)

(She completed the course within 12 minutes.)

Nice.

Hurry up, Uie.

(Hurry up, Uie.)

Uie!

(Uie!)

(Uie's current location: 390m)

390m.

10m left.

I'm almost there.

(Without a break until the end)

(Uie has maintained her pace from start to finish.)

(Uie reached 400m.)

(Rushing over)

Hurry, Uie.

Good job.

Hurry, Uie.

Good job.

(Uie's ski jump race-up record: 11 minutes 17 seconds)

(She completed the course within 12 minutes.)

(She looks at the display board.)

(Shocked)

For real?

(For real?)

Hold on.

They might make it.

(Hold on. They might make it.)

They might make it.

(She gets up after 10 seconds.)

(Captain Uie looks for the other members.)

You can do it!

(Sae Rok)

(Can Sae Rok hit the 12-minute mark?)

(Sae Rok's current location: 380m)

I want...

(I want...)

to go home.

You're almost there, Sae Rok.

You can do it.

(With her eyes fixed ahead, she takes one step at a time.)

Yes. Stay calm.

(She's 10m away from the finish line.)

You have enough time, Sae Rok.

Stick to your pace, Sae Rok.

Let me set up the finish line.

(Off to attach the finish line)

She has to experience it.

It's her first time.

You're almost here.

Come to this side.

- I'm scared. - No, you can do it.

I can't help you up here.

(Sae Rok drops down right by the finish line.)

I'm scared.

Are you okay?

- It's scary. - I know it is.

(The fear of falling at any moment)

Don't look back.

Good. You did well.

(Uie keeps encouraging the frightened Sae Rok.)

Sae Rok, grab this and climb up.

- That's it. - I'm scared.

It's okay. That's the finish line.

- Do you see it? - Yes.

- I'm scared. - Okay, let's go.

- Keum Sae Rok! - Hang in there.

Go for it. Look at the clock.

Go for it. Look at the clock.

Look at the clock.

(Keum Sae Rok has completed the course.)

You did it. Great job.

Nice.

It was too scary.

(Breathing heavily)

How tiring.

(What's Sae Rok's time after that tough climb?)

(Sae Rok's ski jump race-up record: 13 minutes 27 seconds)

(She didn't make it in time, but she pulled off a good record!)

Mom.

I miss my mom.

(I miss my mom.)

(While Sae Rok, who has left home, is catching her breath)

It was too scary.

(Where is Ju Hyun?)

You're 10 steps away from reaching 350m.

10m at a time.

Be careful.

50m.

Catch your breath here.

Catch your breath.

(The pain in her calves is tormenting Ju Hyun.)

Catch your breath.

It wasn't because I was out of breath...

or hyperventilating.

My calves just wouldn't work.

You can do it.

(Last year, during the 123-story challenge)

My calves.

- Right there. - Got it. Relax.

(Ju Hyun's calves have always given her trouble.)

This is horrible.

(Even while working out, the pain gave her a hard time.)

It really...

Let's see.

I felt frustrated...

- and disappointed in myself. - Where?

Is it your legs?

Are they not working?

You're at 340m. Just imagine reaching 365m.

Slowly.

I can't believe this.

Let's do this. Come on.

Her calves are weak.

The slope was slippery for her at the start.

(The members are worried as they know Ju Hyun's condition.)

You're almost there, Ju Hyun!

If you can't, how about grabbing onto that as you climb?

(The pillar)

Be careful as you cross the slope.

Grab the ropes. Okay.

(She decides to use the pillar on the other side.)

Let's see. Let's try it using the pillar.

- Is it better? - Yes.

Grabbing the pillar is much better. Good.

- This is better. - My calves.

- This will do. - This strains my calves less.

There's less pressure on the calves. Raise your torso.

- You're almost there. - You're almost there.

You're almost done.

- Gosh. - Grab the pillar.

Support your heels.

Raise your torso.

Rely on your hands.

You're almost there. 10m.

- You're almost here! - 10m.

(Taking it one step at a time, she's in the last 10m.)

- Come this way. - Cross over.

Come up. Come up first.

- Cross over. - Uie.

You did an amazing job.

Climb over now.

(Taking one last tough step toward the end)

- It's hot. - Ju Hyun.

(Ju Hyun reached 400m.)

My legs.

- I had no other choice. - Go.

This is...

Sit.

No, sit over there. Get on the mat.

This was...

(Despite her calf pain, Ju Hyun showed perseverance.)

Are your legs all right, Uie?

(She's fine.)

How can she not take a rest?

That's wild.

(Their ski jump race-up records)

(In Ah: 10 minutes 19 seconds, Uie: 11 minutes 17 seconds,)

(Sae Rok: 13 minutes 27 seconds, Ju Hyun: 19 minutes 18 seconds)

The first training is never easy.

But we came here without any preparation...

- or knowledge of the place... - Exactly.

and started climbing just five minutes after we arrived.

I think you all did a fantastic job.

(The Iron Girls did their best.)

If you two had participated in last year's competition,

you would've made it to the finals.

From what I can see, Uie would've done...

much better if the distance had been twice as long.

She barely broke a sweat by the time she finished.

- When everyone else drops out, - For real.

- her skills will begin to shine. - Right.

- It suits Uie more. - That's why...

- I prefer long-distance running. - Exactly.

I'd rather climb up this slope again.

How are we different?

- That's just how lions are. - I didn't mean that.

- Lions... - That's not what I meant.

Lions are naturally like that.

They use up all their energy...

in a short burst to hunt.

Lions can't run for more than one minute.

- I'm a lion. - Yes.

But those...

who can run long distances.

- They don't have a burst of energy. - No, never.

They have no bounce,

but they excel in long distances.

We can bring that individual style...

into boxing.

By the way...

Let me remind you of what I said earlier.

The training ends if you make it within 12 minutes.

If you don't,

you must go up the slope again...

as part of training.

(They forgot about the rule of today's training.)

I'll climb up with you.

It's you and me.

(Happy)

It's okay. We can do it, Ju Hyun.

- Even Sae Rok? - Are you okay? Can you do it?

- Of course. - Gosh.

You scare me now.

- Because... - She's scary.

I felt it the very first day we met.

There are athletes like her.

The so-called maniacs with bright eyes.

It was exhausting and extremely painful.

- But I'm fine now. - Right.

Do it again, and it'll be excruciating again.

But I'll be fine again.

How about this? In Ah.

You climb with Sae Rok.

- I'll climb with Ju Hyun. - Okay.

- One more time. - Let's do it again.

(Yes, because we're a team!)

(Totally moved)

- Okay. - How cool.

That was cool.

There's no place for me here.

Will our training end for the day after the second climb?

- Stop. - What's with you, Sae Rok?

Is there more?

- I'm not doing it then. - Look, Sae Rok.

Where's the sun right now?

It's still up, right? It won't end yet.

It'll end only after the sun sets. Let's get going now.

- As expected of the captain. - Come on.

Guys, the faster we do it, the sooner it'll be over.

- Okay. - Got it?

Let's go.

(A little while later)

Oh, my gosh. She actually went down there.

(What happened to the girls?)

Let's go.

Let's do this.

(The second ski jump race-up attempt)

Slowly.

(This time, they're aiming to complete the course,)

(not to set a record.)

(They begin the second attempt.)

(Sae Rok and In Ah take the lead from the start.)

If possible,

let's speed up in that blue section...

and slow down once we're up there.

- On the artificial turf. - Okay.

(The two have already reached the artificial turf.)

Let's run.

Let's go.

(As planned, they pick up the pace.)

Use your toes and lower your torso.

Okay.

- Tell me when it gets tough. - Okay.

(Age doesn't matter when it comes to exercise.)

(She quickly reached 160m.)

(Sae Rok, Ju Hyun)

(Breathing heavily)

(Staggering)

(As the slope inclines, Sae Rok's pace has dropped.)

Using your whole feet will tire you out more.

Use your toes.

(Input: Use your toes.)

(Output: Going on all fours)

(I can't do it.)

I'm tired.

You're already crawling? I don't recommend that.

Keep your pace.

(In Ah doesn't get why Sae Rok is already walking on all fours.)

How can you walk up standing?

Sae Rok, take a break after you step on that.

- I think it'll help. - Okay.

Let's take a break. Relax.

(She turns her head instinctively.)

Don't look behind.

Oh, my.

- How scary. - We promised not to look back.

It's shocking, right?

(Startled by the unexpected height)

(Trembling)

- It's my first time seeing it. - Don't look back.

(In Ah is excited by the view she's seeing for the first time.)

You're really amazing, In Ah.

I want to walk up standing like you.

Good idea. My feet are pretty muscular.

I can walk up easily.

Gosh.

Unbelievable.

(Astonished by the easy-looking demonstration)

Let me give it a shot.

- You're doing well. - You can do it.

(She gathers all her strength and walks up.)

What?

Yes, good.

(Taking in In Ah's feedback)

You're doing well.

What's gotten into you?

You've got some strong willpower.

Your stamina...

(Gritting her teeth, Sae Rok keeps going up.)

is not that bad.

She's got willpower.

You climbed a lot in that short time.

(Starting at 220m, she climbed nonstop...)

(and reached 250m in one breath.)

You're doing great.

As far as I can tell, Sae Rok...

is similar to In Ah in how she uses her energy.

Yes. She goes all out and then takes a rest.

(In Ah's style: One big spurt,)

(then rest)

(Like In Ah, Sae Rok took a rest.)

- What? - Gosh.

It's another sudden burst of energy.

- Nice. Let's go together. - What?

- What's this? - Just run.

Right now, it's like a flurry in boxing.

(Releasing her stored energy)

You're doing well. You can do it, Keum Sae Rok.

Let's become an action actress.

(Climbing up while dreaming of becoming an action actress)

- Sae Rok is doing great right now. - She's doing so well.

(The 2nd incline section is already right before them!)

(Breathing heavily)

It's our second attempt.

(She's becoming paler by the minute.)

Take a break. This won't do. Sit.

- No. I'm going to rest over there. - "No?"

But your breathing sounds off.

(Going up without stopping, powered by sheer willpower)

- I'm okay. I can do it. - After I go back down.

- I can do it. - Where are the other two?

(Sae Rok climbs the last slope,)

(reminding herself that she can do it.)

She's battling her own fight.

Let's go.

I can do it.

I can do it.

(Sae Rok holds out with willpower alone.)

(Sae Rok arrives at the 2nd incline section.)

- Take a break. - Gosh. I'm tired.

(All that's left is the brutal steep incline.)

You're almost there.

(Sae Rok climbs up the last slope.)

You can do it, Sae Rok.

- Yes, I can. - You're doing good.

(Breathing heavily because of the steep slope)

(In the end, she starts walking on all fours.)

(Sae Rok goes up with all her might towards the finish line.)

Two more sets just like that.

Think of it like doing two sets at the gym.

Okay.

(By following In Ah's advice,)

(she is now just 50m away from the finish line.)

Mom.

Take a break.

(In Ah has Sae Rok's back while she's taking a break.)

I'm right behind you.

Let's just go up to 360m.

370m.

(She sets the target to 370m herself.)

Go.

(She goes up again!)

10m.

She goes all out again as long as she has time to recover.

Ten more steps. One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Let's rest.

No? All right.

(Even though she's gasping for air,)

(she chooses to crawl without stopping...)

(and keeps going until she reaches the goal.)

One more.

Seven.

That's it.

You climbed up 20m without a break.

How scary.

You're strong, Keum Sae Rok.

You're cool.

- I'm exhausted. - Take a long break.

You're doing great. I'm proud of you.

(In Ah takes thorough care of Sae Rok's condition.)

- I'm almost there. - You're almost there.

Let's see this through.

- Don't take a break midway. - No, don't.

Here she goes.

Here goes the lion.

- Good. - She's doing great.

(Passing the 380m mark)

Three, four, five.

(Passing the 390m mark)

- You're almost there, Keum Sae Rok. - You're almost there.

Five more steps, and you're done.

- Twelve, thirteen. - Okay. You're almost there.

Okay. Great job.

- I'm scared. - Good job, Sae Rok.

I want to go home.

Good job. You did much better than earlier.

I'm serious. Go ahead.

(Sae Rok heads to the finish line.)

(Keum Sae Rok nailed her second attempt.)

(Here lies Keum Sae Rok.)

Great job.

She's just like me.

One big spurt, then rest.

Send me home.

I want to go home.

Well done. You came up twice.

Give yourself a round of applause.

(Sae Rok is the best.)

It was less tiring than before...

because In Ah helped me.

That only makes me want to help you more.

In Ah is awesome.

She kept rooting for me.

(Come to think of it)

- Where's Ju Hyun? - I'll be right back.

Go ahead.

I can't go with you.

What? Ju Hyun is still not here?

(Ju Hyun isn't near the finish line.)

I can't see her yet.

(No matter how far down, she can't be seen.)

Where's Ju Hyun? I'm down here already.

(Ju Hyun's current location:)

(270m)

You're almost there.

Ju Hyun, you need to walk.

(Taking the advice, Ju Hyun begins to walk.)

This is...

Let's do this.

Let's go, Park Ju Hyun!

(She drags her trembling leg forward.)

She's walking.

You can do it. You're almost there.

(Walking down easily)

You're doing great. Nice.

(Simba Seol is already down the slope.)

(Even In Ah has come down to help Ju Hyun.)

(Sae Rok is all alone at the top.)

Did In Ah go down?

(Shocked)

What? How did she go down?

Oh, no.

Where's Ju Hyun?

I can't go down.

My legs are shaking.

(Gulping)

For now, I'll grab this pole.

(She musters up the courage and moves forward.)

(A dizzying view)

(Automatically sitting in a humble posture)

How did she go down there?

Should I head down as well?

What do I do?

(Sitting down, she thinks about it for a while.)

Let's go.

(Shutting her eyes tight)

This is dead scary.

(Going down each step on her bottom)

How do I go down?

(She just manages to grab the handrail.)

(Struggling)

This is too scary.

I love you, Mom.

(She's moments away from crying.)

I can do it.

I can do it too.

(Sniffling)

(A triumph)

(She's finally at the starting point of the 2nd incline.)

You can do it, Park Ju Hyun!

You came all the way down here?

Park Ju Hyun is so cool!

(Ju Hyun, Sae Rok)

That's it.

Isn't this better?

Getting pushed is better.

(Ju Hyun arrives at the 2nd incline section.)

- Be careful. - Look at her bottom.

What's this?

(She's climbed with her whole body and is now a mess.)

Is she okay?

(Struggling)

(Groaning)

- Take a break here, Ju Hyun. - Take a break.

(She finally meets Sae Rok.)

- I can't do it. - It's the last section.

- You're almost there. - It's the last one.

(The Iron Girls have gathered for Ju Hyun.)

You made it all the way here.

- You can do it, Park Ju Hyun. - Park Ju Hyun.

You came all the way here.

Do you want to use the stairs?

Climb the stairs for the last bit.

- Isn't it tough? - Do that. I bet it hurts.

Exactly.

There's more training after this.

(The best decision for her current calf condition)

Okay. Take the stairs.

(They choose to take the stairs for the last 100m.)

Let's go. But...

don't take a break for training.

- Okay. - On the stairs.

(After that,)

(Ju Hyun didn't take a single break.)

Good job.

Ju Hyun, you can do it.

Way to go.

(She walked up 100m.)

It helps, right?

(She walked up 100m.)

It's helping.

It helps, right?

It was the friends...

who helped me keep going.

(It was the members who helped her keep going.)

I was thankful.
