All language subtitles for Iron Girls Season 2 Episode 6 kisskh

(After last week's supervised sparring)

(At this rate, )

(you'll be eliminated.)

(The Iron Girls realized they were lacking in physical strength.)

(A drastic treatment to improve physical strength)

(Entering a trail race)

(Trail running?)

(This time, they'll go to the mountain.)

(Dirt road)

(Water road)

(Stairs)

(Running on any terrain...)

(for a marathon on the unpaved mountain trails)

(Trail running comes with the joy of navigating nature.)

(What's Iron Girls' goal?)

(10km trail running on Jeju Island's oreum)

(Before the race, preparations are a must!)

(Kim Jin Hee, athlete)

(With the expert of trail running, )

(Iron Girls learned the basics.)

(In Ah was excluded due to her knee rehabilitation.)

(Ma'am, what is this vest for?)

(Wearing the cool running vest...)

(for water, snacks, and an emergency kit, )

(they learned how to use the trekking pole.)

(Then came the trail running practice!)

(Uphill)

(Downhill)

(It feels different.)

(It feels different from a regular marathon.)

(The world of trail running was on another level.)

(They completed the lesson on the basics of trail running.)

(Ten days later)

(The day of the trail race)

(Seogwipo-si, Jeju)

(3 hours before the race)

(Everyone wakes up early in the morning.)

(Sae Rok, In Ah)

(Ju Hyun)

(Groaning)

I'm excited

I like running more

- Aren't you hungry? - Yes. Water...

- I heard castella was... - Yes.

A good meal for trail runners.

I guess they need to eat carbs.

- Really? - Yes.

- In that case... - I washed my hands.

Okay. What's this?

Just eat it with your hands.

(Before a high-intensity workout, eating carbs is a must.)

Will anyone want porridge?

(Impressed)

It's tasty.

My forearm hurts.

(Sae Rok and Ju Hyun join breakfast as well.)

Have another one.

- No? Do you just want one? - No.

I'll have another one.

(Her eyes are empty.)

(Laughing)

How cute.

- Sae Rok, did you pack water? - No.

Did you pack water?

Yes, I did.

(They're ready to leave for trail running.)

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

(They head over to the location of the trail run.)

You know, it really feels like...

I'm doing the off-season training.

You didn't forget about being on Jeju Island, right?

Wouldn't we get the taste of Jeju Island today?

We'll climb a mountain.

I heard that the course was really beautiful.

That's right.

(To trail runners who run in nature, )

(Jeju Island is the best place for trail running.)

(Every year, runners around the nation visit.)

(The popular trail running place, Jeju)

(However, )

(the weather isn't looking good.)

We'll get soaked through, right?

I'm worried.

It would've been really nice...

- if it had been sunny. - I know.

Compared to a very sunny day...

- This is better. - Yes.

Wouldn't it be better for exercising?

- It gets hard if it's too hot. - You're right.

(They put on the mindset of an athlete.)

We must be here.

- Really? - Yes.

- Are we? - I'm starting to see more cars.

Shouldn't we wear a raincoat?

I know.

Listen to the sound. What's this?

(Startled)

(The sound of rain echoes in the car.)

(The rain suddenly turns heavier.)

(It shows no sign of letting up.)

- I'm worried. - Rain, fall all you want.

You can't stop us.

- It might be able to stop us. - Yes.

It might be able to stop us.

(A strong rainstorm hits the location of the trail race.)

("The 1st Storm of the year, Wutip Occurs")

("Heavy Rain of Up to 250m and Strong Wind Hit Jeju")

- It's like a disaster movie. - Seriously.

Isn't this rain too much?

(Will they be able to have a race in this weather?)

- I see people. - An uphill trail...

I see people who are running for a different course.

Really?

- It began. - How cool.

- How many people are there? - Where?

- Over there. - You see their heads.

- Are you serious? - Those were heads.

- They're running in hoodies. - They're running.

They're so cool.

- Are they really running? - Yes.

(They can't believe what they're seeing.)

- Shall we get off? - Yes.

(It's time for them to enter the rain.)

(The smile on her face...)

(disappears.)

Are we sure about this?

Are we sure about this?

(They can't believe the intensity of the downpour.)

Be careful of the puddle.

(They need to walk over to the location of the trail race.)

(The location of the trail race)

Gosh, this is...

What's this? Do we need to swim there?

I saw people running down this trail earlier.

(Even the path to the location of the trail race is rough.)

Gosh.

- All right, everyone. - This is insane.

Over there,

I see some booths.

It looks like the booths will fly off.

(Screaming)

It feels uncomfortable.

Even walking is hard. How are we supposed to run?

My goodness.

What?

My umbrella.

(In tatters)

(Umbrellas are useless in the rainstorm.)

(Save us.)

- Save us. - Hello.

- I mean... - I don't know.

The path to this booth was...

- too rough. - I know. It was rough.

This is Iron Girls.

This is Iron Girls.

Yes. This brings back old memories.

- I know. - The beginning.

Why does it rain every time we enter a race?

It always happens.

(Iron Girls bring rain whenever they run.)

(It rained on Jeju Island last year.)

(The location of the race was submerged in water.)

(The race got canceled on the day.)

It always happens. Gosh, it makes no sense.

This isn't right.

However, the trail race will proceed.

- That's impressive. - Right.

As soon as we arrived,

we saw people start the 32km race.

I didn't think that many people would run.

- But they ran in a line. - I know.

- They were impressive. - I know.

A total of 700 people participated in the trail race.

Seriously.

(Despite the rough weather, )

(they want to enjoy trail running.)

(The participants came to the location of the trail race.)

(They take photos...)

(and warm up.)

(The runners are ready to run.)

Passionate people gathered from around the nation.

You'll enter the 10km race.

While it's a trail run, a big part of the course will be flatland.

I heard that there were two oreums.

(Starting and finishing point)

At the 4km and 8km points,

there will be oreums. Please remember that.

(The hardest part is the two oreums, Ttarabi Oreum...)

(and Keunsaseumi Oreum.)

(Start, Ttarabi Oreum, Keunsaseumi Oreum, Finish)

(The highest elevation is 473.5m.)

(They'll pass various terrains...)

(such as grassland, paved road, forest trail, and more.)

(At the 3km point, they'll face...)

(the first challenge.)

(The never-ending stairs)

(There's no end to the uphill road.)

(Start, Ttarabi Oreum)

(Elevation, 342m)

(Ttarabi Oreum)

A downhill road follows an uphill road.

- Be careful when you go downhill. - Okay.

(At the 7km point, they'll face...)

(the second challenge.)

(The elevation is higher than that of Ttarabi Oreum.)

(Elevation, 473.5m)

(Keunsaseumi Oreum)

(Will Iron Girls be able to finish the race safely?)

So there will be oreums.

In boxing,

it's like a slugfest.

(Oreum is like a slugfest in boxing.)

- Right. - You must not take a break.

It's about continuing on with the fight...

without taking a break.

It's very similar to trail running in terms of stamina.

So I hope you'll improve your physical strength...

through today's trail run.

If I remember correctly, the cut-off time is...

two hours and a half.

- That's right. - Two hours and a half.

- Yes. - We'll do it without a break.

- We'll challenge ourselves. - Since the weather...

- I want to do it. - is like this...

To be honest, my heart feels heavy.

Seeing the others do it without me makes my heart heavy.

I'm very disappointed that I can't participate in it.

You'll do personal training with me.

She won't rest,

- but do personal training. - Yes.

I'll run with the members and take care of them...

- in the back. - Please be the pacemaker.

Of course. I'll be your pacemaker.

To be honest, trail running is hard in and of itself.

When the weather is rough,

- we need to stay focused. - That's right.

So I think it'll be good training for our concentration too.

Completing the trail race...

without giving up is my goal.

- Okay. - I'll need to stay focused.

I'm nervous.

(I'm nervous.)

(Sighing)

It's time.

Let's go.

In Ah, root for us. Good luck with your training.

- Don't get hurt. - Good luck.

- KO! - Iron...

- Girls! - Girls!

- Let's do this! - Let's go!

- Let's go! - Completing the race is our goal!

- Don't get hurt. - Bye.

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

Iron Girls, you're cool.

Good luck.

(They move to the starting line.)

- Let's finish the race safely. - Let's go.

(It's nice to meet you.)

The sun is up.

Let's go.

- The weather is improving. - Let's go.

(The rainstorm made it hard to see what was in front of you.)

(But the sky cleared up when it was time to begin.)

The weather improved.

How did the sun come up...

- at the right time? - I know.

- I'm the weather fairy. - Yes.

(I'm the weather fairy.)

(1 minute before the start)

(It's their first trail run.)

(It's always nerve-racking to start the race.)

It'll start now.

Fight on!

- Fight on! - Eight,

- Are we going now? - seven,

- We're going now. - six,

- Here we go. - five,

(It's the 10km trail run.)

four,

(Their goal is to finish in 2 hours and 30 minutes.)

- Let's go. - three,

(Will Iron Girls be able to finish the race safely?)

- two, one. - Let's go. Let's do this.

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

(The trail run starts.)

Let's go!

Let's go!

Bye!

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

We'll be back.

Let's go!

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

(They start with a fighting spirit.)

Good luck.

Okay.

Uie, good luck.

Good luck.

A race like this makes us feel the emotions...

we can't usually feel in our lives.

There are so many people behind us.

- Really? - There are so many people.

Still, it's nice.

It's nice.

Yes. Aren't you glad that you came here to run?

It's nice.

(They feel the touching emotions of a race once more.)

Let's go.

I think we'll be able to do it.

(They feel the touching emotions of a race once more.)

The sky is becoming pretty! Look at the sky!

(The sky is becoming pretty! Look at the sky!)

The race has begun.

(What's the first section of the trail race?)

(The 1km straight section)

Let's go.

Good.

It's long. It's 10km.

Since it's 10km, we shouldn't push ourselves...

in the beginning.

Take good care of your breathing...

- when the trail isn't tough. - Okay.

(Breathing)

(The member who has tried triathlon passes on her know-how.)

Since the ground is hard, your legs might hurt even more.

Keep the steps short.

Trot.

(Do that if your legs hurt.)

Increase the running cadence.

(Showing off the charms of the senior in the race)

- Move your arms too. - Okay.

Swing them like this.

(I think I'm pretty cool.)

(While Ju Hyun shows off her charms as a senior)

I can't see Uie.

I can't see Uie.

(Where did Uie go?)

I'll beat the wind.

Let's beat it. I can beat it.

(She moves forward quickly as she braves the wind of Jeju.)

I can do it.

I just need to do it.

(Uie passes the 1km point.)

I feel like the race has begun in earnest.

(The queen of stamina is in good condition today.)

(She arrives at the next section before anyone.)

(After the paved road of the first section, )

(what will she see in the second section?)

(This is where the trail run begins in earnest.)

(A dense forest trail)

(Uie enters the forest.)

(The course turns green, unlike the first section.)

It's unbelievable.

I'm running in nature.

(It isn't the asphalt road like the regular marathon.)

(You run on the dirt road that's full of forest aroma.)

A trail run really is different.

(You can enjoy nature during a trail run.)

I can't believe...

this is a race.

(She feels the nature of Jeju with her two feet.)

Oh, my.

(But the romantic feeling is short-lived.)

Oh, my.

(Gosh!)

(The trail is covered in branches.)

It's annoying that the trail continues to be like this.

(There are embedded rocks...)

(as well as tree roots that stick out from the ground.)

(It isn't easy to run on the bumpy trail.)

(There are dangers everywhere.)

I think it'll be better...

to run 10km on a flatland.

(The romantic moment is gone after a few minutes.)

Gosh, it's like an ocean over here.

(To make matters worse, )

(the overnight rain had created puddles.)

(Another puddle appears.)

What's this?

(Splashing)

(Gosh!)

This can't be helped.

(Feeling very uncomfortable)

(Her shoes are wet already.)

(Another puddle appears soon afterward.)

(Sighing)

(Gosh!)

I don't know.

(Gosh!)

Gosh, my shoes...

I won't be able to finish in 2 hours and 30 minutes.

My shoes turned so heavy.

It's so slippery.

(A branch slaps her.)

(While Uie is getting beaten up by the trail run)

(Ju Hyun enters the second section, the forest trail.)

(Showing off her experience, she runs ahead of Sae Rok.)

(Sae Rok)

(Slapping)

(A branch slaps her at the start of the forest trail.)

The leaves...

(A branch hits her again.)

Gosh, this is...

(Laughing)

The leaves...

(Even to an experienced member, the forest trail isn't easy.)

This isn't easy.

(Faltering for the 2nd time)

(It's very different from the first section.)

Gosh, this is...

(A puddle appears.)

Gosh, my feet are like a water park.

(Gosh, my feet are like a water park.)

The terrain keeps changing,

so my legs...

(My legs...)

This is hard.

(The changing terrain is rough on her legs.)

My feet hurt.

To the left.

(It isn't easy to run on the forest trail.)

(How is it going for Sae Rok who is experiencing her first race?)

Oh, my.

I'm sorry.

(I'm sorry.)

(The rough terrain is wearing down her stamina.)

My goodness.

(Sae Rok is also taking a jab from the trail run.)

(Keunsaseumi Oreum, Aid Station, Start and Finish, Ttarabi Oreum)

(30 minutes have passed.)

What? There's traffic.

There's traffic. What is it? I'm scared.

(Why is there traffic?)

Isn't this the oreum section?

- No? This is driving me crazy. - This isn't the oreum section.

- Something insane remains. - What?

(Something insane remains before the oreum.)

Isn't this the oreum section?

(What's the insane thing that lies in front of the traffic?)

What's that?

What's that?

Is a trail run supposed to be like this?

Seriously?

Is a trail run supposed to be like this?

Yes.

What is this?

(It's like a scene from a disaster movie.)

It's like "The Law of Jungle."

Isn't this "The Law of Jungle?"

(She suddenly encounters the Amazon vibe.)

(Grab the rope and cross a stream to escape!)

I'm nervous.

I can do it.

(But I can do it!)

- It's slippery. Be careful. - Okay.

Slowly.

(Feeling nervous, she crosses the stream.)

What's this?

(Feeling strangely excited)

(Moving forward without hesitation despite the strong currents)

(With long strides)

Okay.

(Quickly passing through the stream)

(Going up the steep stone steps without difficulty)

(Groaning)

(After overcoming all kinds of obstacles like that)

(Exclaiming)

What's this?

(A staggering number of steps unfold before her eyes.)

(The first oreum, Ttarabi Oreum)

(342m above sea level)

(Toward the top of the oreum, )

(there are endless stairs.)

This is no joke.

Help me.

I can't do this.

(Ttarabi Oreum, the toughest section)

(But I'm Stamina Queen!)

(Going up)

(Over and over again)

- Good luck. - Good luck.

(Maintaining the pace, )

(she keeps climbing without stopping.)

(She is the real Stamina Queen.)

(As she continues climbing without stopping, )

(she encounters endless stairs.)

(These stairs are strange.)

Why doesn't it end?

(While Uie is trapped in the endless stairs.)

(What about Ju Hyun, who is following her?)

(Blocking the branches)

(Avoiding vines)

(Slowly getting used to trail running)

(Passing)

(Passing more people)

Where is Uie?

(I'm coming to catch up with Uie.)

This is a jungle.

(Going through the jungle-like stream...)

(without hesitation)

All right. It's over.

(Going up the stone steps quickly like a squirrel)

(Running through the forest)

(Nimble Squirrel Ju Hyun)

(Panting)

(Suddenly, her pace slows down.)

(Sighing)

The uphill road. It's tough.

How are people running up here?

(Ju Hyun arrives at the entrance of the oreum.)

Now is the time.

I should draw my weapon.

My weapon.

I'm equipped with my weapon.

Life is all about gear.

Let's go.

Good. Life is all about gear.

(Ability, 10 points added)

(Confidence, 500 points added)

Let's go.

(Running without hesitation)

Help me.

(Is it over already?)

Gosh, sir.

There are things I can't do even with the gear.

(Struggling)

My goodness.

(The endless stairs are killing Ju Hyun.)

Where's the end?

(Ttarabi Oreum)

(While Ju Hyun crawls over the oreum)

We have already passed one-fifth of the course.

It's over 2km.

At this pace, you'll probably be in the upper middle ranks.

- Really? - Yes.

(Intrigued)

Let's go.

Okay. Go!

Where should I go?

Go up.

Go up. Be careful.

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

Let's speed up. There's no one in front of you.

Good.

You're running well.

- You learned well. - Yes.

In trail running, you have to watch the ground.

I should watch the terrain.

Right.

(Evading)

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

(Meanwhile, Uie...)

This is unbelievable.

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

- Let's go. - Thank you.

(Let's go.)

I should stop chanting.

I'm too tired.

(She's too tired to shout.)

(Groaning)

(Still, she forces herself to keep running...)

(and finally reaches the summit.)

This is beautiful.

It's so pretty.

(The open landscape welcomed by the vast sky)

I can't believe this.

(Ttarabi Oreum, known as the queen of oreums)

This is really nice.

(As if rewarding them for their arduous journey, )

(the scenery unfolds like a gift.)

(The Ttarabi Oreum course, which they are running, )

(as three craters at the summit.)

(It's a course where you run along the perimeter trail.)

(Energized by the cool breeze at the summit...)

(and the beautiful scenery, )

(she quickly advances along the crater trail.)

Is it 4km now?

(Uie passes the 4km point.)

Let's go!

(The end of the summit section)

(Feeling great)

My goodness.

I don't think I can go down.

I don't think...

(Uie suddenly stops walking?)

Can people walk on this?

(What catches Uie's eye...)

(is a steep downhill slope.)

(Just looking at it makes her dizzy.)

How am I supposed to go down?

(The maximum gradient is 45°.)

(A downhill slope without steps)

I don't think I can go down.

(Actually, Uie is...)

(On the day of basic trail running training)

Back in my school days, while training in the mountains,

I got seriously injured on the downhill slope.

I felt the same way when I did cycling.

(I'm so scared to go down.)

(After the accident, Uie developed a fear of downhill slopes.)

(I can't do this by myself.)

(She struggled even on gentle slopes.)

I can't.

This is it for me.

(A steep slope unfolds before her eyes.)

(Will Uie be able to go down the slope safely?)

(At that moment, Ju Hyu is still struggling with the stairs.)

Where is the end?

(The brutal road with no end in sight)

(Groaning)

I'm a boxer.

(Holding the trekking pole, )

(the boxer with a dogged spirit pulls herself up again.)

Don't stop.

Just don't stop.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

(With her willpower and determination, )

(she keeps going up.)

Good. It's a flatland.

(Ju Hyun finally sees the end of the brutal uphill road.)

(Ju Hyun passes the 4km point.)

This is pretty.

This is amazing.

It's really pretty.

Unbelievable.

(Behind the arduous uphill road, )

(the wide open scenery of Jeju unfolds.)

I can't believe I'm here. I should eat some snacks.

Gosh, this view...

(Rustling)

This is crazy.

(Exclaiming)

(This is so delicious.)

This is crazy.

(Chewing)

(Enjoying the view while eating the snack)

(Taking another bite)

(While Ju Hyun enjoys the summit)

- Good luck. - Yes.

(Sae Rok struggles up the stairs.)

(One, two)

(Trying hard)

(Leaning on the poles that are as tall as she is)

Does it come in only one size?

(She has no energy to answer.)

I think the poles are too big for you.

What? It's all right.

Let's go, Sae Rok.

- You can do this. - I can do this.

- We've climbed 100m. - Okay.

- It's about 300m. - Okay.

- We have 200m to go. - All right.

- Let's keep going. - Okay.

I know it's hard, but we shouldn't just stop.

You're doing well. It's a flatland. Try harder.

Even athletes who have been exercising their entire lives...

- can't help but find it difficult. - Okay.

- It's just as hard for them too. - Okay.

But even when it's hard,

you have to keep taking one more step.

- Okay. - Good luck.

- Let's go. - Captain.

- Help me. - Let's go.

All right. Let's think that this is a boxing match.

Okay.

Imagine that you are having a match.

Okay. I'm trying my best.

Like you keep moving your feet...

- when you're exhausted. - Okay.

(She's being led by the ceaseless encouragement.)

I can't go down here.

(Meanwhile, Uie is stuck on the downhill road.)

I should go down, right?

How am I supposed to though?

(She's afraid, but she sets off to finish the race.)

I should just go.

(Carefully, )

(she goes down one step at a time.)

(Careful)

Keep your eyes open.

(Exclaiming)

Just relax. Relax your shoulders.

You are too stiff at the shoulders.

I'm afraid of going downhill.

Please walk past me.

Is there anyone behind me?

(She's too scared to look back.)

I'm sorry. I'm scared.

- Excuse me. Good luck. - Please go ahead.

Thank you.

Gosh, I don't know how to go down.

(She is not able to speed up.)

Gosh, this is really...

This is true hardship and adversity.

- I don't know. - Try going down in zigzags.

- In zigzags? - Yes.

(Groaning)

No. I can do this.

- You can do this! - I can do this!

Okay. Let's give it a try.

(She goes down in zigzags, as advised.)

I'm going to try to be less afraid of going downhill.

I can do this.

(Recharged confidence)

Let's go.

(The Stamina Queen is slowly getting her pace back.)

I'm in trouble.

(She stops running again.)

To the side.

- Oh, no. - This way.

- To the side. - No.

(The scary muddy downhill looks very slippery.)

What kind of road is this, seriously?

(The ground is so slippery that you can barely stand on it.)

I don't think I can go. This is too slippery.

(It's very steep.)

(There are a lot of runners who slip and fall.)

No. It's dangerous.

(It's truly an insane section.)

This is insane.

It's too scary.

(Uie, who has a fear of downhills, finds it even more terrifying.)

(Moving hurriedly)

(Taking out her trekking poles in a hurry)

(Her breathing becomes heavy with tension.)

It's dangerous.

- You can go sideways carefully. - Sideways?

- To the side. - To the right.

Side.

(Careful steps)

Okay.

Oh, no.

(It's a mess.)

Gosh, please.

(It's a mess here and there.)

Are you all right?

(It's absolute chaos.)

- Let me hold your arm. - It's very slippery.

- Oh, no. - Oreums are tough.

Gosh. I'm so scared.

I hear people screaming.

(Screaming)

(What do I do?)

Just focus on myself.

(Just focus on myself. Don't mind the others.)

- Oh, dear. - Hold the thick one.

Thank you.

I'm slipping down.

(Sliding)

I don't like this kind of traffic.

(She's about to cry.)

(Surprised)

- What? Ju Hyun. - We haven't even done 5km yet.

- Uie. - Be careful, Ju Hyun.

- Uie. - It's really slippery here.

- Uie. - How is she doing that?

- How is she doing that? - It's really dangerous.

I was told...

to trust the poles.

(She's pushing her way down with her dogged spirit.)

- Good luck. - Life is all about gear.

(Life is all about gear.)

(An amazing scene)

A gear lover is passing by.

(Actually, Ju Hyun is...)

Be careful on the downhill slope.

Thank you.

(I'm confident in going downhill.)

(Groaning)

Life is all about gear.

(She ran down the slope quickly.)

This is not bad.

It's better than a flatland.

(Levelled-up Squirrel Ju Hyun)

(Running down the steep slope at lightning speed)

Sir. I'll be in trouble if I fail to finish the race.

(She goes down the slippery, muddy road without hesitation.)

I think the poles are useful.

(Drawing everyone's attention, )

These poles.

(she runs through the crowd.)

This is good.

- Go ahead. Be careful. - I'm trusting my gear.

- Be careful not to fall. - Okay.

You're doing a good job.

- Good luck. - Life is all about gear.

I believe in my gear.

The gear is good, isn't it?

(It's almost like a religious belief.)

- Be careful. - Okay. Don't worry.

(Uie sends Ju Hyun ahead.)

Pull yourself together.

I should trust my gear too.

(Uie is motivated by Ju Hyun.)

Okay.

Poke.

Poke.

(Poking the ground with the poles, she moves one step at a time.)

All right. It's over.

I see the end.

(She finally sees the end of the downhill slope.)

(She bravely finished the slope section.)

(Uie and Ju Hyun finished the first oreum section.)

- Wait. - Keep going.

- Wait. - Why?

Wait.

This is amazing.

It's so beautiful.

(Exclaiming)

Let's go.

Goodness.

It's so beautiful.

Seriously...

If you're able to notice the scenery,

you have enough energy left. You can do it.

I feel like crying. It's beautiful.

- Noticing the scenery... - Captain.

- Yes? - I can't believe this view.

Seriously. It's so beautiful.

(It captivates Sae Rok's heart.)

This is so cool. Seriously.

(The breathtaking Jeju scenery)

This is amazing. It's unbelievable.

This is really beautiful.

(She's about to burst into tears.)

We should take a photo here.

Oh, dear.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(Like the other runners, who are enjoying this moment, )

(Sae Rok stops for a moment and enjoys the view.)

(Falling for the charm of trail running)

This is beautiful.

I'm tired, but this cheers me up.

(Recharged with the beautiful view, she sets off again.)

Watch your steps. In small strides.

Run in small strides. It's steep.

(Running down quickly with no fear)

Be careful.

(Even on the terrifying, steep muddy slope, )

(she turns into Determined Sae Rok.)

We can go on both sides.

(Going down quickly)

It's over.

The tough part is over.

(The end of the first oreum slowly comes into view.)

- It's over. - It's over.

I almost died.

(It's been 1 hour and 20 minutes.)

(All the members of Iron Girls passed the first oreum section.)

(Meanwhile, what is In Ah doing?)

What did you prepare for me, Coach?

(It's a secret.)

(Half-excited, half-worried)

(What is the special training for In Ah?)

- Ta-da. - Goodness.

Gosh, seriously...

(Furious)

I mean...

(Wood-chopping training)

How did you prepare all this again?

(The previous day, Iron Girls had a wood-chopping training.)

That's it.

(It stimulated their forearm muscles.)

(A total of 80 logs were sacrificed for their upper-body strength.)

(They thought they had chopped all the logs on Jeju Island.)

- Seriously... - It's harder than you think.

- How many are there? - That's 30.

- Am I chopping them all by myself? - Yes.

I feel like I came to Jeju Island to chop firewood.

That's it.

- I'm good. - Well done.

You're doing it with accuracy. Good job.

I'll do it with a fighting spirit.

- That's it. - Let's go.

(Preparing the next target without delay)

(Shattered)

(Bring it on, logs.)

Good.

(Working out her upper body properly)

What am I doing with an ax?

(Shattered)

It's broken into four pieces.

Goodness. We've got good firewood.

Something's wrong with this.

(All right then.)

(Taking off her vest)

(She takes off everything that is bothering her.)

All right.

I'll smash everything.

That's it.

(A perfect log hunt with absolute precision)

(The upper body training has been going on for 1 hour.)

The last one.

(The last prey)

(Escaping)

You rascal.

You're afraid of me.

(Clean)

(Happy)

(She has completed chopping 30 logs.)

I trained my upper body properly.

I can't flex my forearm muscles.

(She's done strengthening her forearm muscles.)

If you get hit by my punch now, you'll be dead.

How about a final spurt then?

I shouldn't have said that.

Practice the one-two 100 times.

Are you serious?

Start.

(Punching hard with her pumped-up upper body)

(The sound shows the power of her punch.)

Bend a little more.

Six. Good.

(The boxer mode)

Nine. That's strong.

Ten. Good.

(She rests her sore knees and focuses on her upper body training.)

(While In Ah's upper body training continues)

(Where is Ju Hyun in the lead?)

It's 5.3km.

I'm almost there.

I don't have much time.

My gosh. Be careful.

(She suddenly begins to stagger.)

(The ground is in bad condition.)

Gosh, what's this?

(The ground is in bad condition.)

(The once refreshing birch forest...)

This is a swamp.

(has turned into a swamp where her feet sink in.)

It's so slippery.

(The entire path is flooded.)

(She still has a long way to go.)

Gosh, this is really hard.

(Her feet feel heavy, covered in mud.)

What's this?

(To make things worse, the mud goes up to her knees.)

What is this? Is this a bathhouse or what?

(To make things worse, the mud goes up to her knees.)

Gosh, this is...

Be careful.

(Exhausted)

It feels like an anaconda might come out.

(Splash)

Gosh, it feels so cool.

It feels great.

(Trying to stay positive)

My feet feel so cool.

(It's just my body that's tired. It's all about my mindset.)

I want to go in.

(Despite the muddy ground, she overcomes the obstacles easily.)

I've done this plenty of times...

in sparring.

(I've done this plenty of times in sparring!)

It's just like that.

(She only thinks about boxing even during the trail running.)

(After the tough swamp section)

It's so pretty.

My gosh, this is...

It's like "Howl's Moving Castle."

(At the end of the long forest path, )

(a wide-open flatland appears.)

It's a muddy version of "Howl's Moving Castle."

(A landscape that's like a fairy tale)

(She's back in her element as she sees the flatland.)

It's flatland.

I should run on the flatland.

(She runs again.)

My gosh. This is amazing. There are horses.

(My gosh. This is amazing. There are horses.)

Unbelievable.

(Horses resting in an unfenced field)

Is it okay to leave the horses here like this?

(It's a truly eco-friendly running course.)

(Trying to interact with them)

I'm good at horseback riding.

I really want to go on horseback.

(Leaving behind her wish that can't come true)

I should put the gear back in.

Put them back in.

(She set aside the equipment for now.)

(The real running begins now.)

(She runs...)

(and runs.)

Hang in there.

(Through her clenched teeth, she runs hard.)

(And before her lies...)

Gosh, aid.

(The aid station is located at the 7km point.)

(People stop here to hydrate...)

(and refuel with sweet, refreshing watermelon.)

(All runners love the aid station.)

(Ju Hyun arrived at the aid station.)

(Devouring)

(She finished a piece of watermelon in no time.)

(Now on to her second piece)

Good luck.

Thank you.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

(Ju Hyun restored her energy with watermelon.)

(There's still a long way to go.)

That watermelon was so good.

(Suddenly, a familiar head comes into view.)

Run.

She's terrifying.

Park Ju Hyun, run.

(Uie, the ace runner, surges ahead.)

(As Ju Hyun was leaving the aid station, )

(Uie appeared like the wind.)

(Ju Hyun, Uie)

(She doesn't even stop by the aid station and keeps running.)

(Uie quickly catches up to Ju Hyun.)

Run.

Uie, I can't.

We only got 3km left.

Don't take a break. Keep going.

I’m not good at running uphill.

Run.

(She eventually runs ahead of her.)

She's so impressive.

I would totally fall for her.

How is she running like that?

(After surpassing Ju Hyun, )

(Uie starts picking up speed.)

(1 person)

(2 people)

(3 people)

(4 people)

(5 people)

(Uie is definitely a strong runner.)

(She has returned to a 5-minute pace.)

(Her smile has returned as well.)

(However)

Gosh, I hate running on mountains.

Gosh, I hate running on mountains.

(A mountain trail is stretched out in front of Uie.)

(The summit elevation...)

(is 473.5m.)

(It's one uphill...)

(after another.)

(Endless stairs that seem to go on forever.)

(The second challenge: Keunsaseumi Oreum)

(Until they conquer this hill, )

(the race isn't over.)

(It's been 1 hour and 30 minutes since the race began.)

(Will she be able to climb up the never-ending stairs in time?)

(Meanwhile, where is Sae Rok?)

We’re already closing in on 6km.

We've done 5.8km.

(Stumbling)

(Exclaiming)

Goodness.

(Exclaiming)

(She’s holding on with her signature exclamations while staggering.)

Come on.

I keep getting stuck too deep.

- Be careful. - I want to run.

No, you shouldn't.

Just walk quickly.

You're keeping up well.

I'd say you're in the upper-middle ranks.

- Really? - Yes.

(In that case, )

(I should run.)

Gosh, you're running.

Slow down a little. You're running.

Watch your ankle.

I think you're running too fast.

(Every step she takes lands in mud, )

(so her legs already look a mess.)

(But she keeps on running.)

- We'll reach the aid station soon. - Okay.

We'll be done at the aid station.

Okay, we're at the aid station.

Nice.

(She takes a bite of the watermelon.)

(Gosh)

(Taking a huge bite)

(In a trance)

(Lost in the moment, she finished a slice of watermelon.)

(She moves on to her second slice right away.)

(Devouring)

(Why is this so good?)

It tastes as sweet as honey.

Why are they so good?

(Their watermelons are great.)

They're so good.

I'm so exhausted, but they're too good.

I want to eat five slices before we leave.

(She delivers a rapid-fire review about the watermelon.)

It's unbelievable how good it is.

Mom, I miss you.

(It's been a while since she last checked in with her mom.)

Let's go now.

- This is good. - Okay. We have to go now.

Let's go.

(At Captain Kim's urging, she sets off again.)

You have to show that you're running with focus.

What counts is the record.

All right.

This is the second half.

(Sae Rok is now headed for the second hill.)

(Current location)

(Keunsaseumi Oreum, the aid station)

What is this...

(Meanwhile, Ju Hyun is battling the uphill path.)

(Screaming)

Am I seeing that slope correctly?

It looks like people are piled up from the ground.

(It looks like people are stacked all the way up to the sky.)

Good luck.

(Running past)

(Ju Hyun is struggling with the climb.)

How are they running here?

(How are they all running here?)

Gosh, I'm so exhausted.

(She's now using her shoulders to climb up the hill.)

(She pushes ahead for a while in a quite unique posture.)

Was there such a long uphill path in Korea?

When is this slope going to end?

Why is this so long?

Gosh.

(Will Ju Hyun, the weakest climber on the hill, make it to the summit?)

(Uie is at the lead and she reaches the 7.5km point.)

This is the final section.

It's not over...

until it's over.

This section is insane. Goodness.

(She keeps on striding forward despite her concerns.)

(She keeps up with her pace while taking sips of water along the way.)

(After climbing nonstop for a while, )

(she finally arrives at the summit of Keunsaseumi Oreum.)

(At last, the endpoint comes into sight.)

(But there's no time to admire the view.)

Is this the way down?

(The downhill begins right after the summit.)

It would be serious if I slipped here.

(The only thing left for her now...)

(is the endless downhill stairs stretch out ahead.)

I'm so grateful for these stairs.

(For Uie, who is afraid of downhill, the stairs are a blessing.)

You've got 1.4km left.

Did you say 1.4km? Nice.

I really am almost there.

(Once these stairs end, the trail is over.)

I'm almost done.

Gosh, I kind of feel nauseous.

The ground feels unsteady.

Yu Jin, it'd be serious if you slipped here.

Stay focused until the end.

I might cry when I get there.

(She's still terrified of downhill stretches.)

Please.

I'm almost there. I can't slip now.

What?

I see something that resembles a flatland.

Please be a flatland.

(People running over the flatland are visible from here.)

(Uie's breathing grew heavy with the joy of reaching the flatland.)

It's a flatland.

It's a flatland!

It's a flatland!

(Uie)

I love flatlands.

I'm almost there, right?

(Yes! You're almost there!)

(Screaming in joy)

It's straight ahead.

- Okay! - You got this!

It's straight ahead!

(Her voice is an octave higher.)

We got this!

- Kim Uie, you got this! - We're almost there!

(The flatland gave her a boost of energy.)

We got this!

We got this!

We're almost there!

(The finish line is visible in the distance.)

Is that Uie? Anyone can tell that's Uie.

(In Ah has been waiting for them after finishing her training.)

Even from a distance, it's clearly Uie. She's so pretty.

(She ran across the picturesque scenery, )

(and now the finish line is right in front of her.)

(Running at full speed until the end)

Kim Uie!

(Uie completed the trail run.)

(Uie's trail running record: 1 hour 59 minutes 5 seconds)

- You did great! - I'm a mess.

- You're amazing. - Look at this.

- That itself is amazing. - Look at me.

I practically swam at one point.

- I'll take your poles for you. - It was a whole mess.

- Good job! - Good job.

That was something else.

(Now that it's over, she feels free to tell them about her struggles.)

Did you struggle a lot? Was it challenging?

- Many times. - It was challenging?

The downhill stretch was so scary.

I was going down like this.

There was a congested section too.

How are the others doing?

They should be doing well.

(They're starting to wonder about the others.)

My shoulders hurt.

(Ju Hyun reaches the 8km point.)

(Taking a look at her watch)

It took me 30 minutes to climb 1km.

Is that right?

That doesn't make sense.

I wouldn't be cut off, would I?

(With a 2.5-hour time limit, anxiety about the cutoff creeps in.)

(After climbing up the never-ending uphill stretch, )

(Gosh)

Finally, it's a flatland.

(Ju Hyun finally arrives at the summit after the long uphill.)

Is it downhill now?

It's downhill.

(It's followed by a downhill stretch, Ju Hyun's specialty.)

Gosh. It's downhill.

(I’m a downhill expert.)

Focus.

Focus.

Gosh, this is so pretty.

Unbelievable.

(She takes in the final view as she nears the end of the race.)

My calves are burning.

(Despite her burning calves)

- Passing through. - Go ahead.

(While making her way past people one by one, )

Passing through.

(Ju Hyun dashes fast like a flying squirrel.)

Help me.

I can't feel my legs.

It's a flatland.

(Arriving at the flatland safely)

(She's almost there now!)

It's a flatland.

(While controlling her breathing carefully, )

(Ju Hyun maintains her pace until the end.)

She's coming. It's her!

- You're right. It's her. - It's her.

- There's Ju Hyun. - Right. It's Ju Hyun.

That's how she runs.

(She is our Ju Hyun even at a distance.)

- Park Ju Hyun! - Park Ju Hyun!

Park Ju Hyun!

- Park Ju Hyun! - Park Ju Hyun!

Gosh. She's doing a great job running.

Gosh. She's good.

(Ju Hyun finishes strong towards the finish line.)

Park Ju Hyun!

- Go, Ju Hyun! - Park Ju Hyun!

Ju Hyun!

(Giving her last spurt after hearing the members' cheer)

- Ju Hyun! - Ju Hyun!

(Ju Hyun completes the trail race.)

(Ju Hyun's trail running record: 2 hours 14 minutes 27 seconds)

Good job.

- Ju Hyun, come here. - This way.

(She successfully completes it in 2 hours and 30 minutes, )

(which was her goal.)

- You look like a warrior. - Good job.

(Hugging the members she finally met)

I'll get you water.

- Is there watermelon? - No.

The watermelon was so good.

- Did you eat the watermelon? - Yes.

Was it hard to go up or go down?

- Going up? - Going up?

Ju Hyun hates going up.

- The stairs... - It doesn't end.

Was it hard to climb up the stairs?

- The oreum section. - Good job.

What? Why?

(At that moment...)

Is that Sae Rok?

- That's Sae Rok! - Really? Where?

(Is Sae Rok here already?)

- Really? - What's with them?

- That was so fast. - I got goosebumps.

- The oreum section. - Good job.

What? Why?

(At that moment...)

Is that Sae Rok?

- That's Sae Rok! - Really? Where?

(Is Sae Rok here already?)

- Really? - What's with them?

- That was so fast. - I got goosebumps.

She did it within 2 hours.

(Is Sae Rok coming close to the finish line?)

I can't go there.

That's the last uphill. Let's do it.

(A while ago, Sae Rok faced the tough uphill.)

How do I climb up there?

Try it.

Relax your legs.

Shake your legs. Yes.

You're showing incredible determination in the final stretch.

(Sae Rok showed incredible determination in the final stretch.)

You're doing great.

We're almost there.

Goodness.

- Goodness. - Why do you keep groaning?

Goodness.

That groan automatically comes out when it's tough.

- Goodness. - We're almost there.

Goodness.

- We're almost there. - We're almost there.

- Goodness. We're almost finished. - We're here.

We've done it.

We're almost there.

(She passes the second oreum without a problem.)

It's Sae Rok.

Really?

You're almost there.

(Rocky Keum never gives up.)

Keum Sae Rok!

- We're almost there. - Keum Sae Rok!

You're almost there!

- Keum Sae Rok. - Let's go.

- Run! - Until the end.

- Sae Rok, last spurt! - Let's go.

Give your last spurt!

(She pushes for the final spurt.)

(Sae Rok completes the trail race.)

Good job.

(Sae Rok completes the trail race.)

(Sae Rok's trail running record: 2 hours 17minutes 5 seconds)

Good job.

(She plops down right away.)

- Are you all right? - Yes.

Gosh. You're amazing, Sae Rok.

You're amazing, Sae Rok. Seriously.

It was less than two and a half hours.

- Gosh. That was amazing. - Good job.

- She did it with clenched teeth. - She did a really good job.

Good job, Rocky. You are amazing.

You came in fast.

Gosh.

- Gosh. - Her hand is shaking.

(Her hand shakes from exhaustion.)

Sae Rok.

Between boxing and this, which is harder?

- This. - Are you crying?

She ran through the trail for 2 hours and 20 minutes.

- Boxing is a piece of cake now. - Right?

- You won't get exhausted. - Yes. You can do it, right?

- She did an amazing job. - Are you crying?

You're crying. Why is she crying?

- Really? - She's crying.

Sae Rok is crying. Don't cry.

But in the middle,

she almost gave up...

- as her body was giving out. - She had a hard time.

- Was her body giving out? - Yes.

(Actually, Sae Rok struggled after passing the mid-point.)

I can't do anything.

(She wanted to give up because it was so tough.)

(Until the last moment, )

She's running suddenly.

Gosh. She stopped running, but now she's running again.

(she didn't give up because...)

I wanted to give it a try.

A battle against myself.

(she wanted to try the battle against herself.)

(Sae Rok won the battle against herself.)

- You're amazing. - Right now,

- Sae Rok's legs are shaky. - Right.

I'm so tired.

You pushed through with your mental strength.

Good job. You really did well.

- You can cry. - Her legs are shaky.

You can cry, saying you're proud of yourself.

You're truly amazing.

- She's shaking badly. - You did a good job.

- What? - You were amazing.

- Are you crying? - It was so tough.

- No. - Sae Rok was...

Sae Rok is amazing. She finished the race,

everyone.

- Geum Sae Rok finished the race. - I finished the race.

(They proudly visit the booth for the finished runners.)

(Souvenirs for completing the race)

- Thank you. - Thank you.

It's so cute.

(Great work!)

- I'm really glad... - Yes.

That I got to finish the race.

(The Iron Girls completed the 10km trail race.)

- I'm starving. - I know.

Let's go.

(Amazed)

That looks so good. Gosh.

- Gosh. - Gosh. What is this?

- Are those pork noodles? - Oh, dear.

(Pork noodles and boiled pork)

- Was this prepared by the event? - That looks so good.

This is a tradition of the Jeju trail race.

They provide the pork noodles after the race.

- Gosh. They look so good. - Gosh.

- They look so tasty. - Gosh. Help yourselves.

I get to eat thanks to Captain and the members.

- Thanks for the food. - Enjoy.

- Thank you all. - Eat lots.

- I get to eat because of you. - Thank you for the food.

These are Finisher's Noodles. Let's enjoy.

It's precious.

(The Finisher's Noodles are more meaningful...)

(because they have completed the race.)

It's so good.

I like the name too.

"Finisher's Noodles."

(Uie takes a bite of the Finisher's Noodles too.)

(Satisfied)

(This is true happiness.)

It's tasty.

(Eating the boiled pork)

It's good, isn't it?

(The meal is twice as tasty after finishing a tough race.)

Gosh. It's tasty.

(In Ah takes a bite happily after her special training.)

(Captain who went through everything with them slurps too.)

Gosh. It's so good.

It tastes really good.

The meat is so much more tender than I expected.

By the way, look at the view.

The meat tastes even better.

(The view makes the Finisher's Noodles even tastier.)

I have breaking news from the organizer of the race.

- The organizer? - Yes. We have...

- the official records of the race. - That's incredible.

- We have the ranking now. - What rank did you get?

My goodness.

- First, - Okay.

- Sae Rok. - Yes.

- Of the 286 female runners, - What?

- what place do you think you got? - Me?

Around 200th place?

Of the 286 female runners,

you were in 121st place.

(She ranked 121st out of 286 female runners.)

I told you.

I told you that you were in the upper middle range.

- Was she in the first half? - Hey.

- I told you that you were... - How did you do that?

- in the upper middle range. - You're in the upper middle range.

- Really? - How did you do that?

- She did very well. - Does it make sense?

- You're amazing, Sae Rok. - Amazing.

- Wait. In that case, - Captain.

I could do it all thanks to Captain.

My knees hurt so bad.

They hurt more when you walk like that.

What do I do, then?

Walk sideways, instead.

(He taught her how to walk so it wouldn't hurt her knees.)

We're almost there.

(Captain took care of Sae Rok throughout the race.)

- Thank you, Captain. - No.

- He's the best. - She did a great job.

- That means Ju Hyun is... - Amazing.

Out of the 286 female runners, Park Ju Hyun came...

(Out of the 286 female runners, )

in 110th place.

(she came in 110th place.)

You came in around 100th place.

- Hey. You did such a great job. - Wait. This is...

Seriously.

- Gosh. We're good. - Seriously.

- You did a fabulous job, Ju Hyun. - That is a great record.

You have the strength of the Iron Girl.

- Yes. - That's right.

Now,

- Uie. - Uie!

- Uie was... - I can't wait.

Out of the same 286 runners,

(What place did Uie end up in?)

she came in 69th place.

- Gosh. What's with her? - The 69th place means...

you were in the top tier.

(Uie, the Stamina Queen, is an ace without a doubt.)

- How far up is she in? - I...

was never in the top 100 when it came to studying.

Uie.

- But I did it while playing sports. - You're so cool.

By the way,

it was a difficult race because of the rain.

- You're right. - The path was muddy.

The ground sank out of the blue.

(The trail race's course was tough due to the downpour.)

What is this, a bathhouse?

Gosh, it's like an ocean over here.

Didn't your feet feel so heavy after that?

After your shoes touched the water.

This is a mountain.

And there were many experienced runners.

They gave me tips, which I appreciated so much.

- I see. While they were running? - "Grab the tree."

"Sit."

"Watch for the pit."

They would say, "Look out ahead."

And the rest would say, "Okay!"

That was how it went.

(That's right.)

It felt like a festival in a way.

Being safe is important in this race.

They shared tips...

- and the information they had. - That's right.

I really loved that part.

Also, we got reenergized through this section.

- It was a downhill. And the view... - Gosh.

- I know where that is. - It was the downhill section.

- Did you see? - Yes.

It was exhausting.

It was muddy and dark.

When we came out of the downhill, an open space suddenly appeared.

(An incredible view unfolded as a reward for the tough course.)

- Did you see the horses? - Yes.

The horses were eating grass.

They were so close.

As much as it was hard to go uphill,

we were compensated, so I was happy.

I love the feeling of the fresh breeze.

- It was so refreshing. - Yes. It was so much fun.

It was pretty fun.

This competition meant a lot...

because there were three iron guard rails in the center.

- Yes. - We had to pass them.

- It felt like entering a ring. - It felt like a ring.

- That's what I said. - So...

(Uie)

(This is like entering a ring.)

(Imagine this is a ring.)

(This is like a real ring. It's perfect.)

(I've passed many of these.)

- It was like entering a ring. - Yes.

I was like, "This is Round Two."

Did it feel like entering a ring?

Of course.

It rained so much last night.

It rained until this morning, so I wondered if we could do it.

I'm happy that we completed it safely.

Let's take a rest and move on to the next training.

- Well done. - Thank you.

Good job.

- Good job. - Well done.

Goodbye, trail running.

(Next day)

Let's hop off.

Let's go.

What's going on? Where are we?

This is Seogwipo-si sports association's stadium.

(Jeju World Cup Stadium)

- Is there a boxing ring? - Is there a boxing ring here?

- Let's go in. - Shall we?

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

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

Gosh. It's all blue.

It's like a set.

This is the boxing ring for boxers in Seogwipo-si.

(Seogwipo-si corporate team boxers' training area)

What are we doing here?

Last time,

you sparred with a male boxer in middle school.

- Yes. - Yes.

Today, you'll be going against a female adult.

- Doing what? - Sparring.

- A supervised sparring? - But we got hit badly...

even by a middle schooler.

- We'll get hit so much. - Are we getting beaten by an adult?

You'll be sparring with...

a national athlete who trains here.

(A national athlete?)

"A national athlete?"

This is getting serious.

- "A national athlete?" - Yes.

(Screaming)

(Gasping)

- Who are you? - Hello.

(Who is the one who surprised the girls?)

(They're glad to meet the guest.)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(Today's sparring opponent)

- Hello. - On the first episode...

(In the demonstration match about a month ago, )

(she put on a wonderful game with Lim Ae Ji.)

(The female national boxer for the 2024 Paris Summer Games)

(Jung Ju Hyeong of Seogwipo-si)

- Are you from Jeju Island? - She's so cool.

This is my home ground.

That's so cool.

Coach.

You should be here to train us.

How can we spar with you?

We've seen you play.

So it'll be a supervised sparring.

We did a supervised sparring with Sung Min,

and we got hit pretty badly.

(They got hit...)

(again...)

(and again.)

(The intense memories of their first sparring)

What are we going to do?

You first began...

with recreational sports.

- Yes. - You were the ace...

of recreational sports, and you became a national athlete.

In the first community sports competition, you won with a KO.

Yes, it was a TKO.

No game lasted until the end.

No game lasted until the end.

(Amazed)

Coach. I have a question.

During our first sparring,

we went, "Jab, jab, one, two."

And while taking steps,

I ran away even before I knew it.

I ended up running away.

- I... - Do you know a roe deer?

(I've never heard of that before.)

(Her feet move endlessly in the ring)

(But something feels off.)

(Hop)

(That's how the roe deer footwork was born.)

- I didn't know. - She keeps jumping like that.

- It's like she's in a concert. - I'm the only one who does this.

- It's like I'm at a PSY concert. - Jump.

It's like dancing to "Gangnam Style."

Because I wanted to use what I learned,

I kept jumping.

I can tell that you're nervous.

You should be able to use what you learned in the ring.

You're nervous at first.

So listen to your coach.

And try that first. That's very important.

Listen to the coach.

- Yes. What's important is... - Okay.

Jung Ju Hyeong is a southpaw.

- Aren't there any southpaws here? - No.

- "Southpaw?" - What's that?

We're from South Korea.

(Chuckling)

- "Southpaw?" - Yes. She's left-handed.

- We... - We're flustered.

Never played against a left-handed player before, right?

- Right? - Never.

It's only the beginning, but I'm already nervous.

(Sparring with a southpaw, how will they do?)

(Before the sparring, )

(Ju Hyeong is warming up fiercely.)

While doing this...

There's something you need to remember.

- It's push, slide, hit, and hook. - Push...

- Push, slide, hit, and hook. - Push, slide, hit, and hook.

- Hook. - One more time?

Slide.

(After avoiding a left straight...)

And you hit, right?

- But she avoided it. - But you got near.

Yes. If you come close, she'll punch you.

You're definitely going to fall for that.

- Push, slide, hit, and hook. - Right.

Against a left-handed player, it's all about reading the room.

It's all about reading the room.

(Learning how to play against a southpaw)

Yes.

(Focusing)

I want to go home.

What do I do? I'm so nervous.

(Today's sparring lineup)

It'll be 2 rounds of a minute and 30 seconds.

And you get 40 seconds of break.

(The first supervised sparring opponent)

(A middle schooler)

(The supervising level...)

(went up.)

(The second supervised sparring opponent)

(A female adult national athlete)

(The punch has leveled up as well.)

(Will they be able to show improvement...)

(compared to their first sparring?)

Are you ready to put on the gloves?

I'm getting even more nervous.

(Iron Girls' second sparring)

Be calm.

(The opponent is an active national athlete.)

(The first player is Ju Hyun.)

The second head gear in my life.

Just as I learned.

Take a deep breath.

(Also getting nervous)

(The most nervous moment)

Go, Ju Hyun.

Try what you've practiced, okay?

Ju Hyun.

Go, Ju Hyun.

Before entering the ring,

I should come up with a signature move.

(That's how she chose her signature appearance.)

Okay. This is what I'm going to do from now on.

(The entrance is all about confidence.)

One, two. Yes. You got it.

Yes. One, two. Okay.

Push, slide, hit, hook.

Yes. You got it.

All right. Players, come forward.

- All right. - Go, Ju Hyun.

No low blow. Play with manners.

Touch gloves. Okay.

At your corners. Ready.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

- Are you ready? Good luck. - Good luck.

Round One. Go.

(Round 1 begins.)

(Ju Hyun attacks first.)

(However, she faces the opponent's punch right away.)

Yes. Be calm.

(Guarding immediately)

It's picky because she's left-handed.

(A left-handed boxer is rare.)

(Because their front feet touch, )

(it's not easy to calculate the distance.)

- Hook. - Yes. Keep watching.

(It's not easy to predict the opponent's punch.)

She's coming.

(Too difficult for a boxer who learned only for a month)

She's taking the lead big time.

(Startled)

(Due to her long reach, )

(every time she swings, )

(it's a valid strike.)

(Flustered)

(I must brace myself.)

Yes.

(Ju Hyeong's jab is immediately countered.)

(Body jab)

Yes. Good. You're nice and calm, Ju Hyun.

(Guarding again without getting flustered)

(Swinging)

(Ju Hyeong calculates the distance with her lead hand.)

Calculate with your lead hand too.

- Yes. Good job. - Ju Hyun.

(Dodging)

(Hitting)

(She successfully strikes the opponent.)

(Approving)

Good job.

(Ju Hyun succeeds in sliding and hitting for the first time.)

(However, the opponent is an active player.)

Yes.

(Manipulating the opponent with a fake jab)

(Striking the unguarded abdomen)

(Startled by the active player's heavy punch)

(Guarding)

(She calmly guards against the swarming attack.)

(Another abdomen attack)

- Good luck. - It's okay.

(The same feint)

(Her punch is stronger than in the first sparring.)

When she approaches, hit.

If she approaches, hit her.

(Flinching, punching)

Don't fall for that.

(Ju Hyun is manipulated by Ju Hyeong's feint.)

Yes. You got it. Don't give up.

You got it.

(Ju Hyun continues to burrow in and makes a valid strike.)

- Already. - Already?

Good. You're almost there.

Ten seconds left.

- She's calm. - Ten seconds left.

Focus until the end.

(Ju Hyun looks for a chance to attack.)

That's right. Stop.

- Ju Hyun, are you okay? - How was it?

Did you get hit?

Breathe. Take a deep breath.

(Ju Hyun got hit in the abdomen repeatedly.)

Again.

(She takes a deep breath and tries to calm down.)

Take a deep breath.

(The pain comes belatedly.)

Good job. That was great.

- I almost cried. - That was good.

You were calm.

After the high-low combination, you have to throw a hook too.

(An additional request for Round 2, high-low combination and hook)

(Park Si Hun, the other team's coach)

Don't put your weight on.

- And go for the face. - Okay.

- So... - Play like a real game.

Okay.

I'll get close to her.

She's strong. She's too strong.

Let's go.

(The 40-second break ends in no time.)

- Go, Ju Hyun. - Go, Ju Hyun.

(Jab, jab, one, two)

(Ju Hyeong corners her as soon as they start.)

- Hook. - Yes. Until the end.

(Going for the low shots)

(Even when she's getting hit, )

(she tries the left hook.)

(However)

Yes. Good job.

Yes. Good job.

(Ju Hyun can't keep her head up due to the swarming attack.)

(Staggering)

- Hook. - That's right.

Keep watching.

Watch her.

(Getting faint)

Oh, coach.

(Moving backward without looking up)

(She throws a punch without giving up.)

(But she keeps dropping her head due to the endless punches.)

Watch.

Keep watching. Watch her.

Keep watching. Watch her.

(The flying punches turn her face completely.)

(Punching with her eyes closed)

Keep watching. Watch her.

(She takes a deep breath...)

(and dashes, )

(looking at the ground.)

Keep your guard up.

(She keeps her guard up calmly.)

You're doing well. Keep calm.

Even if you get hit, keep watching her.

It's okay.

- Hook. - Straight. Yes.

(Jab)

(She got a jab right in the face.)

Yes. You're doing great.

What did I tell you? Yes!

Keep trying until the end.

Yes.

(Dodge)

(Punch)

You got it.

Keep trying until the end.

Yes. Good job.

That's so cool.

Hook.

Ju Hyun, let's do it.

- Go for her face. - One, two.

Yes. Nice try.

- She's coming. - Good job, Park Ju Hyun.

(Despite the lack of stamina, she looks for her chance to attack.)

(However, the opponent counterattacks right away.)

- Stop. - Oh, I'm sorry.

- Stop. - Oh, I'm sorry.

Good job.

It's okay. That's how you should do it.

- Until the end. - Good job.

- Good job. - Good job, Ju Hyun.

- Good job. - Well done.

She's pretty good...

for someone who only learned for a month.

You were different from last time.

It was more nerve-racking.

It's more painful than sparring with Sung Min.

(The supervised sparring is more intense.)

I almost cried.

(Ju Hyeong's punch almost made her cry.)

Anyway,

if I give you feedback,

it's really hard to apply what you practiced.

Against the big fists...

and against me,

- she kept coming forward. - She's good.

She did a good job. I mean it.

It's about your mental strength.

No matter how good you are outside,

you should be able to do it in the ring.

- That was... - You still tried...

what I ordered four times.

(You attempted my request 4 times.)

Let's give it up for her.

(Coach Ji Hoon's request: Push, slide, hit, hook)

(High-low combination)

(1st slide and hit)

(2nd slide and hit)

(1st high-low combination)

(2nd high-low combination)

I give you credit for that.

(It wasn't perfect, but Ju Hyun still tried.)

Compared to that,

when you get hit, you have to look.

But you were like this.

(Ju Hyun curled up when she was getting hit.)

That's right.

(Due to the series of punches, )

(Ju Hyun couldn't keep her head up.)

Keep watching.

(Her face was turned because she was scared of the punches.)

(In the end, she closed her eyes when she attacked.)

You can't attack without watching.

You have to keep watching.

Even if you get hit,

you have to watch.

That's really hard.

How can you look when you're getting hit?

You have to try.

Only then can you see the opponent's fists.

You know what?

Once you get struck once,

- It becomes chaotic. - you become...

- You couldn't do it, right? - scared.

- It was so scary. - Especially in the stomach.

And it was hard to approach.

It felt like...

you were long. I struggled to block you.

It was probably hard to get closer to me.

Because you're shorter than me.

And when would you get to meet a left-handed boxer again?

- That's true. - Yes.

If you try to punch her once,

you should be ready to face three punches.

So it's my loss.

You can't get close to her unless you get hit?

I couldn't do it without getting hit.

But you looked less nervous...

- than the first sparring, right? - Yes.

- You were very calm. - You were very calm.

I agree.

Compared to the first one,

- I remembered a few techniques. - Right.

I couldn't remember anything last time.

Then it's a success.

Today, you had a successful sparring.

I'm jealous. You did a good job.

(Ju Hyun kept calm and did her best.)

(Ju Hyun's second sparring session results:)

(She was worked up and kept going forward.)

(She remained calm and looked for her chance.)

- Go in. - It's all or nothing now.

- There isn't much time left. - Go in!

(She swung her fists in the air without looking at the opponent.)

(She calmly kept her eye on the opponent...)

(and demonstrated the techniques.)

(Points to improve: She needs to stop looking down...)

(when she gets hit.)

This is crazy.

Why am I getting so nervous?

This is crazy.

- No. I can do it. - It's okay. I'm sure you can do it.

- I'll be calm. - Just be calm.

And every time you try, you improve.

With the attitude to try it today.

- I won't be a roe deer today. - One second.

Yes. The ears.

Okay.

How's your breathing compared to the last time?

(The girls gather around with worries.)

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Just keep calm, okay?

As long as you manage to do just one thing well.

Keep calm. Wait.

(Uie enters.)

Take a deep breath.

Good luck.

Why am I getting nervous?

- Aren't you nervous? - Focus on your goal.

Players, come forward.

(The girls' support helps her brace herself.)

Don't go for low blows.

Play with manners. Okay.

Round One.

(Round 1 begins.)

(Using her lead hand to block the jab)

(Defending)

(Big straight)

(She gets closer, looking for a chance to attack.)

(Jung Ju Hyeong's strong punch)

(After the feint)

(Jab)

(Guarding without getting flustered)

The opponent is...

good at faking.

(Pretending to attack low...)

(and backing up)

(Pretending to attack low...)

(and attacking the face)

(However, Uie defends well with her long arms.)

Yes.

Keep going. You got it.

Yes. Keep going.

You got it.

(Uie's straight)

(However)

(Punch in the face)

(The opponent's jab landed in her face.)

What did I tell you to do?

- Nice, Uie. - Push.

(Push and hook.)

What do you do after pushing her?

(However, Ju Hyeong continues to attack.)

Yes. Again.

(Ju Hyeong's straight was fast again.)

(Valid strike, Dodging)

Eyes on her.

Again. Push.

Hook. Yes, try the hook too.

(Push)

(Hook?)

(She tries to make a series of attacks, )

(but everything is blocked.)

(Ju Hyeong's thorough defense)

Push again.

Keep watching. Yes.

(Pushing again)

(However, she gets Ju Hyeong's hook in return.)

(She keeps her guard up calmly.)

Yes. Keep your eyes on her.

(She keeps her guard up calmly.)

(Playing a fierce mental game with her lead hand)

- The parry... - Yes. Good job.

- Cool. - Good job.

She can defend.

(Confident straight)

(Straight right in the gap)

(Parry)

(However, Ju Hyeong blocked it again.)

Try again. Yes.

(Uie keeps trying without giving up.)

Too big.

You have to do the footwork.

(Due to the distance, her movement becomes big.)

Yes. You got it.

(10 seconds left.)

Ten seconds. Hit.

Push.

Yes.

(Blocking with the lead hand)

(Burrowing in for a strong punch)

Push.

Yes. Push.

(Swift)

- Stop. Okay. - Uie.

You took a lot of steps.

Take a deep breath.

(She catches her breath.)

- She's very good. - Yes.

She has a good straight.

She was born with it.

They're all very good.

(Even the former gold medalist is surprised.)

Good. You were good, but...

I want to slide and hit.

You have to slide and hit.

You pushed a lot.

Push and try slide and hit, okay?

Push, slide, and hit.

Try pushing and hitting too, okay?

- Yes. - Okay.

(Round 2 begins.)

(Using her long lead hand to block the jab)

Yes.

(Jung Ju Hyeong's feint)

(Stopping)

(Noticing the feint, Uie steps back.)

(With her lead hand guarding, )

(she closes in with footwork.)

That's it.

(A straight punch)

(A simultaneous strike)

That's it. That is exactly why you don't retreat.

(Extending through and scoring a hit)

(Uie keeps trying to attack.)

You saw that just now, right?

Ju Hyeong is not letting Uie take control.

(Ju Hyeong keeps moving her feet to maintain the distance.)

(She controls the distance, then dodges and punches.)

(Ju Hyeong targeted the opening perfectly.)

Yes. That was a good hit.

(Valid strike)

(She kept throwing punches and landed a solid strike.)

Keep watching. Yes.

(A hook came swinging in.)

- That's it. - You can punch like that?

- What was that just now? - She literally flew.

(Ju Hyeong actually flew for a second.)

Keep watching. Yes.

(A flashy, unorthodox attack)

Ju Hyeong's going harder in Round Two.

She's quicker and lands more strikes.

(Faster and fiercer punches)

When she's closer, punch her.

(Remaining time)

- Pour everything out. - Try it.

You're staying calm and doing great.

- Go for it. - Hook.

Yes. That's it. It's okay.

(Ju Hyeong's punches are faster.)

(But Uie hasn't lost her spirit.)

Focus. Push.

(Uie blocks the attack with her lead hand...)

(and then launches a strike.)

Yes. Do that again.

(Approaching)

(But she gets blocked right away.)

(Uie stays strong and throws another punch.)

Up, down, and hook.

(After Uie's punch attempt, Round 2 comes to an end.)

- Stop. Good work. - Thank you.

- Great job. - You've gotten better.

- To think you'd change this fast. - She changed right away.

Where did the roe deer go?

The roe deer is dead.

For real?

(Her hopping footwork draws sympathy.)

(But even that would get messed up.)

(She was a roe deer boxer.)

(Long strides)

(She has gained confidence in her footwork.)

What's up with Uie?

How can someone change in a single day?

Okay. You're done. Good job.

- Really? - Yes.

- Did I do well? - Yes, you did.

Was I not like a roe deer?

You weren't like one at all.

- Uie. - You're amazing.

But I feel like I got punched in the nose four times.

Here's what shocked me.

She's skinny, right?

But her lead hand is really strong.

She kept blocking and hitting my hand.

Doing that...

flusters the opponent.

And it's a long reach.

Blocking the attacks...

with her lead hand was great.

That gave me quite a shock.

(With her long reach and strong lead hand, )

(she blocked off Ju Hyeong's jabs.)

(The lead hand is the best shield.)

If I may add a word,

the lead hand conquers the world.

- Our coach said the same thing. - You've done it.

- The lead hand conquers the world. - The lead hand is important.

(Lead hand quote 1:1 jab conquers the world.)

(Lead hand quote 2: The lead hand is the boxer's radar.)

Uie will conquer the world.

- You're so cool, Kim Uie! - Kim Uie!

- Show us what you've got! - Oh, gosh.

What Uie did really well...

was react with her other hand when the opponent came in.

That was good, even if you didn't land the hit.

(When the opponent tried to close in, )

(Uie quickly threw a two.)

(Two)

(Uie kept going and looked for an opening.)

That was great. But your weaknesses...

- were your stiff shoulders... - These?

- and your short punches. - Right.

You stopped right after one-two.

I wanted to try it.

I wanted to throw a hook at least once.

But Ju Hyeong was already on the other side,

so it felt like I was swinging in the air.

You went for everything you wanted in the ring.

- Right. - You pulled it off.

- She actually did. - While I was sparring,

the girls kept saying a roe deer was running around.

- You became really calm. - You've improved so much.

You were super cool.

(Uie's second sparring session results:)

(She was full of fear about boxing.)

(But now, even taking hits doesn't break her spirit.)

(Strengths: She has a long reach and a strong lead hand.)

(Her straight punch is powerful.)

(Points to improve: She needs to work on following up...)

(with multiple punches after a one-two.)

We should've filmed a lot of videos of the roe deer.

- I might never see it again. - We'll never see it.

- Remember what we practiced? - Yes.

- Try to do all of them, okay? - Yes.

This is us testing whether you can use those techniques or not.

(Promising boxer Rocky Keum)

- Give it your all. - Got it.

(The goal is to try as much as possible.)

(The main strategy is the same: Two, dodge, punch, and hook.)

Keum Sae Rok!

Good luck!

(Sae Rok seems a little nervous.)

Go to the center.

Okay. Keep your manners. No low blows.

Go to your corners.

- Sae Rok, stay calm. - Stay calm.

(Just do as practiced!)

(Round 1 begins.)

(Guarding with her lead hand)

(One, two)

(Sae Rok throws a confident one-two.)

Gosh.

(She calmly sizes up her opponent.)

(In that instant, Ju Hyeong lands a strong punch.)

(Valid strike)

(Valid strike)

(But Sae Rok immediately counterattacks.)

(Counter after being hit)

(A face strike)

Nice.

That's it.

(Continuing with a one, one, two.)

(One, one, two)

(Sae Rok's punch lands perfectly.)

- Yes. - Nice. Look at her fighting spirit.

- That's wild. - Breathe.

Yes, good. Watch until the end.

Watch until the end.

(After watching until the end, )

(she dodges and punches.)

(She dodged Ju Hyeong's punch...)

(and connected with a straight.)

Your guard.

(Sae Rok keeps her eyes on her opponent.)

Watch her arms.

Her punches are long.

What did I tell you to do? That's it.

(A deep punch to the open lower area)

Do what next? Yes.

(Sae Rok keeps trying.)

(She blocks the jab.)

(Low)

Yes. What next?

(When she takes a hit, )

(Sae Rok immediately counters.)

Cut her off, and then what?

(Cutting off her opponent's path...)

(and driving a deep two)

(Ju Hyeong sees the opening and scores a valid strike.)

Watch your opponent's lead hand.

(Ju Hyeong has sized up Sae Rok's skills.)

(Shall I throw in some punches?)

(Ju Hyeong hits and pulls back fast.)

(Even amid a flurry of punches, )

(Sae Rok immediately raises her guard.)

(Jabs)

Endure it.

(Sae Rok's attacks are getting blocked off.)

All the way.

(And her movements are getting bigger.)

That's too big.

(Charging up fully)

That's too big.

Don't charge up fully, Sae Rok.

Keep your rear hand. Go immediately.

(Putting her guard up again)

(She parries the punch.)

That's it. Connect it to a hook. Yes.

(Block)

(Two)

(One)

(Two)

One more time. What a bummer.

Again. Try it again.

(Trying again with her guard up)

(However, Ju Hyeong blocks all her strikes.)

- All the way. - It's okay. You're steady. Good.

(She stays focused.)

- Step in behind. - Two.

Immediately.

A two immediately after.

Stop. Good job.

- Hang in there. - I'm proud of her.

- Pull yourself together. - I'm super proud of her.

Breathe.

(Admirable Sae Rok is calming down by taking deep breaths.)

- Everyone's really good. - I know, right?

Her punches are deep. Be careful.

It's the first time the director told her to be careful.

(Boxing rookie Rocky Keum)

Right now, you're not throwing your hook.

Land a hook after dodging and punching.

- My feet won't move. - I see.

Still, try it. Okay?

(Sae Rok will even try throwing hooks in Round 2.)

Start.

Round Two.

(Punches rain down as soon as it starts)

(Sae Rok inches in with her footwork.)

Yes. Again.

(Calm)

(Dodge and punch)

That's it. Nice.

(She keeps dodging and punching.)

She's going to attack hard.

- Yes. - Two. That's it. Okay, well done.

(Two)

(Dodge)

(Punch)

(Hook)

(A left hook)

(Sae Rok tried it for the first time.)

Okay, well done. That was a nice counter.

Good job, even if you didn't hit her.

Keep the two going.

Sae Rok is incredible.

Punch.

(Blocking the jabs with her lead hand)

- Keep your guard up. - Keep your eyes on her.

Stay calm.

That's it.

- Right now. Yes. Again. - Nice.

(Another attempt of punch...)

(and hook)

Stay calm. Try again.

(Ju Hyeong immediately counters.)

(Attack 1)

(Attack 2)

(Attack 3)

(The 3-punch combo leaves Sae Rok dazed.)

(There's still 1 minute left.)

Stay calm and try again.

(Sae Rok is breathing heavily out of exhaustion.)

Dodge, punch.

(Meanwhile, the opponent is still going strong.)

(Punching, flying, tapping)

(Defending)

(Her punches flashed by in an instant.)

That's it. Good job.

(A punch and...)

(an attempt of a left hook)

Great job, even if it didn't land.

- Nice. - Hang in there.

- You're doing great, Sae Rok. - Endure it.

Don't over-swing, Sae Rok.

- I told you not to do that. - More.

Don't forget your footwork.

(She's only stretching her arms out without any footwork.)

(Sae Rok's heaving breathing fills the ring.)

- Sae Rok isn't giving up. - She has her eyes fixed.

She's keeping her eyes locked.

(Even though I'm tired, I won't back down.)

You're doing great.

Throw in some punches.

Try it. It's okay.

Hang in there until the end.

Endure it.

- Ten seconds. Hang in there. - Ten seconds.

Keep throwing in punches.

- Keep going. - Endure it.

Keep going.

Inch in.

Keep trying. That's it.

- That's one point. That's it. - Go in.

(She throws a punch, )

(but the match ends with her taking a hit.)

- Good job. - Seriously, Sae Rok.

(Round 2 ends.)

- Great job. - Gosh.

A bit disappointing, right? You did well.

- I can't land any hooks. - Right.

It's frustrating.

(It's frustrating.)

Well done.

- I'm exhausted. - Open your eyes.

Yes, ma'am.

- Rocky Keum. - I'm not the type...

to praise people.

None of you seems like one-month boxers.

I put more weight into my punches...

since she didn't budge.

Keeping a poker face...

even when you get hit is very important.

- Right. - Sae Rok kept her eyes on me...

- even when she got hit. - Right.

I was really impressed.

(Even though the punches came right at her, )

(Sae Rok didn't take her eyes off the opponent.)

(Eyes locked in)

(Eyes locked in even after taking a hit)

(Subduing the punches with just her eyes)

Sae Rok is strong-willed.

- Yes, she really is. - Right?

- That's crucial. - Yes.

- She's got good focus. - I can tell.

I wanted...

to throw a hook after the punch,

- but I wasn't able to... - This is...

what I felt after sparring with you.

You throw every punch with full strength,

so it's hard for you to land the next one.

(Because she threw every punch with full power, )

(her movements became bigger.)

Up to the hook.

(And was unable to regain balance to throw the next punch)

You can't land a strong hook...

- after a powerful punch. - Exactly.

Which one is more important, the punch or the hook?

- The hook. - Yes. So for the punch,

Go easy.

Use 60 percent of your strength. For the hook, use 80 percent.

I told you, but it was tough, right?

- Yes. - It's only natural.

- My mind went blank. - Your punches...

need to land within this box.

- That's it. - I can...

easily tell.

That's why I was able to dodge...

after throwing a punch.

(It's only a matter of time before the opponent reads the moves.)

I heard the same thing last time.

(Overload Sae Rok received the same feedback.)

(Sae Rok's second sparring session results:)

(Strengths: She attempted a variety of punches, )

(including ducks and left hooks)

(Points to improve: Her punches are still thrown with too much force.)

(Distribution of strength is needed to land the punches consecutively.)

- Coach. You'd better feel nervous. - Coach. Drink some water.

- Don't do that. - Why not?

- Don't say things like that. - It's the ace's turn.

The ace is up.

(Full of confidence)

Shall I go all out for the last one?

I'll use the whole ring.

(I'll use the whole ring.)

(The one to burn up the ring)

Do it the way you've been doing, In Ah.

Your goal is to...

- It's to stay calm. - Yes.

Use what you've learned.

- You can do it, right? - Yes.

In Ah's face instantly switched to battle mode.

(Battle mode on)

- Stay calm. - Right, Stay calm.

- Like before. - Just like before.

- Two, dodge, two, hook. - Okay.

(Be calm. Control your lead foot. Two, dodge, two, hook.)

Stick to what we practiced. Okay?

Good luck!

All right. Touch gloves.

- Good luck, In Ah. - Good luck.

- Good luck. - Keep your manners.

- Stay calm. - Touch gloves.

- Just stick to what you've learned. - Okay.

(Tension fills the ring.)

Good luck.

Round One.

Stay calm.

(Round 1 begins.)

(Exchanging strong jabs)

(Countering the punch...)

(thrown at her immediately)

Do whatever you want.

That's it.

- The two are on par. - Right?

Yes. Good.

(A solid thud of punches)

(One, one, two, one, two)

- Up to the hook. - Nice.

(Blocking)

(Taking)

(Striking)

(Blocking)

(They both hit at the same time.)

(At that moment, )

(Ju Hyeong's hook lands perfectly.)

- She's seeing it through. - Yes, well done.

That's it.

(In Ah throws punches even while getting hit.)

(Immediately followed by a body shot)

Well done. That's it.

(She even changes direction toward the retreating opponent.)

(Excited)

Then you've got to land a body shot.

When she moves to the side, you've got to land a body shot.

Yes, just like that.
Then you've got to land a body shot.

(When the opponent is moving to the side)

Yes, just like that.

(Low, high)

Yes, just like that.

Do it when the opponent shifts to the side.

This is amazing.

(Amazing)

(In Ah lives up to expectations.)

(Ju Hyeong is done sizing up In Ah.)

(From now on, it's the real deal.)

(Training level 1)

(Surprised)

(Training level 2)

Hook! That's your chance to go in.

(1 combo)

(2 combo)

(3 combo)

Punch.

Pull your chin down, In Ah.

- Keep your guard up. - In Ah, your guard!

You're all open right now.

Keep your guard up. In Ah, your guard.

Guard up and chin down.

That's your chance to punch.

Hands up.

(She focuses and resets her stance.)

(Aiming for the right time, she throws a one-two.)

If the opponent comes in, always go for a punch.

Go in first.

Go in first.

- That's it. - Way to go, In Ah.

Be quick.

(In Ah's attack: Step in...)

(and a straight punch)

(Ju Hyeong's counter: Dodge, )

(punch, )

(and punch)

Be quick. Ten seconds.

- That's it. - Your guard.

(In Ah tries to dodge and punch again.)

(Dodge, punch)

Hook. Go all the way.

That's what happens when you don't end it with a hook.

(In Ah has a hard time landing a hook too.)

Punch.

Stop.

(Round 1 ends.)

- In Ah, you're amazing. - Your guard.

Well done.

Breathe.

(Calmly regaining her breath)

Okay. Good job.

I can't land a hook.

I can't get it right.

That's because you're swinging too widely.

The opponent is purposely moving in.

Then you have to throw a punch, no matter what.

Gosh, she's...

- She's got power. - Right. She's really good.

Since it's the last sparring,

- I'm going to go all out. - Go ahead.

(A more intense sparring is anticipated.)

(Round 2 begins.)

- Touch gloves. - Good luck!

- Good luck! - Good luck!

Good luck!

(Training level 2)

Don't panic.

(Excited)

Guard up.

(Ju Hyeong's punch was slightly faster.)

Keep your guard up, In Ah.

In Ah, your guard.

Guard up.

(Ju Hyeong's dodge, )

(punch, )

(hook, )

(two, )

(and hook)

(Attack 1, 2, 3, 4)

- Keep your guard up. - Low, high.

- Well done. - Stay calm.

Nice.

(In Ah turns her head after getting hit.)

Don't turn your head.

Don't turn your head. Punch.

(She must watch until the end and stay alert.)

Put your guard up, In Ah.

(At Sae Rok's words, )

(she adjusts her stance.)

That's it.

(Trying the technique she had agreed on with Coach Kim)

Yes. Well done.

(In Ah's counter: Punch, dodge, )

(punch, )

(and hook)

That's it. Yes. Well done.

She's super fast.

(Ju Hyeong counters at lightning speed.)

- Guard up. - Guard up.

Wasn't that another flying attack?

- Did she do that to me too? - Yes.

(Landing after pulling off a flashy technique)

- Guard up. - Guard up.

(And yet, Simba Seol is unbeatable.)

(Trying another high...)

(and low)

Your guard.

- Keep your guard up. - Low, high.

(Gasping for air under the barrage of attacks)

Put your guard up, In Ah.

- Put it up one more time. - What are you doing? Go in.

That's it. Don't try to hit hard.

You can do it.

(Ju Hyeong hits harder.)

Yes. Good.

(Ju Hyeong's big hook...)

(and a straight)

- Again. Dodge. - That was a good dodge.

- Dodge, punch, and hook. - Nice.

All the way.

(In Ah's turn: Dodge, )

(punch, and a body hook)

Nice, Seol In Ah!

Don't forget the two.

(Remaining time)

- You're doing well, In Ah! - Let's go!

(Iron Girls' genius boxer In Ah)

(True to her reputation, former national team member Ju Hyeong)

(A stormy sparring session between the two)

(Jab 1)

(Jab 2)

(Jab 3)

(Jab 4)

(Taken aback by the consecutive jabs)

Do everything you want.

Keep watching, In Ah.

Focus, In Ah!

Try everything.

That's it. Up to the hook.

- It's okay. Go for a combo. - Focus.

- Focus. - The last combo.

- All the way through. - Focus.

In Ah, the last combo.

(Using all her strength to dodge and punch, )

(the hook still fails to land.)

(Initial strike)

In Ah, the last combo.

(In Ah took a hit, but she delivered a valid strike.)

Again. Stop.

Well done.

(Their sparring was captivating.)

- Good job. - Well done.

(Despite her knee injury, In Ah showed incredible determination.)

Okay.

- Well... - This sparring was fun.

That sparring session just now was on a whole different level.

I think they could have a money fight.

Can you prepare some popcorn from now on?

Gosh, Seol In Ah.

Goodness.

I took a ton of hits.

What did you think about the sparring?

First off, I couldn't do anything.

I tried but...

I must have no sense of range yet.

It was the same when I sparred with Sung Min.

I couldn't gauge the distance between us.

Even though the girls told me to put my guard up, I couldn't.

Instead, I tried to step back, loosen up,

- and strike again. - That was a good call.

And dodging and punching.

The coach told me Ju Hyeong was left-handed.

I planned to catch her punch, dodge, and follow up with a hook.

I bet she knew.

- She knows it all. - She must've read it.

"I'm not letting you land a hook."

That's exactly what I felt the entire session.

(You bet.)

It was fun.

It was good that you tried.

Even though it didn't land, it was a good attempt.

Your boldness...

in landing a punch as the opponent came in...

was impressive.

(The one-two combo was a given.)

(She landed a punch even as she got hit.)

(Two)

That's it.

(There's more.)

(Dodge and punch 1)

(Dodge and punch 2)

(Dodge and punch 3)

(From high-lows)

- It's okay. Go for a combo. - Focus.

(to dodges, punches, and hooks, In Ah tried every technique.)

In a way, she may feel disappointed.

- I'm really disappointed. - I can tell she couldn't do...

everything she had planned.

I purposely made things a bit tougher...

- for In Ah. - Every athlete does that.

It's because she's good.

- Exactly. - Right.

- It's because she's good. - Thank you for your kind words.

Because she's skilled, I threw in more punches.

But I'm curious.

Why did you turn your head?

(Midway through Round 2)

(In Ah turned her head after taking a punch.)

Don't turn your head.

- I took too many hits. - Right.

But that gesture says, "I want to give up."

Yes. That's exactly what it means.

It signals that...

- I had no idea. - you want to...

- step out of the ring and stop. - It means you want to stop.

The referee might stop the match even if you're winning.

I didn't know about that.

Never show your back...

or turn your head.

- I had no idea. - And In Ah...

I'm sure you'll work on it,

but you need to throw your punches inside this box.

- I have a question. - This is what you're like.

When we practice, we punch inside the box.

- Yes. - But like this...

If I punch like this, they don't reach you.

I mean...

(Like this)

(You're too far away.)

- Yes, same here. - During practice...

- I was taken aback. - That's me.

Here's the important part.

This isn't how you punch within the box.

I'm still within the box.

(Sharp, concise punches closing in)

I'm still within the box.

(Moving forward with footwork)

You throw punches while moving forward.

You close the distance...

- with your feet. - Yes.

Move in and throw short punches.

(Attacking without footwork)

(Attacking using footwork)

What do we need to practice to hit our opponent?

- Footwork. - Correct. It's footwork.

Exactly.

(In Ah's second sparring session results:)

(Strengths: She made quick defensive-to-offensive transitions.)

(She threw lots of punches, using various techniques.)

(She was determined to deliver valid strikes even under attack.)

(Points to improve: Never turn your head in the ring.)

(Practice footwork to reduce big movements.)

(Fix the habit of constantly dropping the guard.)

I observed Ju Hyeong.

She allowed herself to take hits...

so the girls could practice their techniques.

Ju Hyeong was the best sparring partner.

Thank you.

I'm so grateful that she became the sparring partner...

- I had in mind. - Honestly,

I thought they wouldn't have the strength...

- I see. - at all.

"Should I only use my lead hand?"

I had a lot on my mind about how I could help.

But they were packed with some serious power,

with punches that could count as valid strikes.

Concentrate as much as you can.

Practice how to punch more accurately. Why?

Because the one who lands the more accurate punches will win.

- Okay. - Okay. Understood.

How about we make it fun and pick today's best player?

- Come on. - "Today's best player?"

- Today's... - All right. Fine.

We all know who the best player is.

It's not me.

May I pick?

(He's simply entertained.)

(Who will take the glorious title of 1st place?)

I have no hopes for this.

- Sae Rok. - Yes, she has a keen eye.

How come?

- Sae Rok. - I agree.

- Me? - Yes.

Sae Rok had the most accurate punches.

- Me? - Yes.

You had the will to punch...

- accurately. - Absolutely.

- You intended to do it. - Sae Rok was the best.

What really impressed me was Sae Rok's...

strong will not to give up.

- Yes. - The determination...

to keep fighting despite taking punches...

- really stood out. - I agree.

- Really? - All of you have strong punches,

but what matters most is accuracy.

- Yes. - That's when it hurts.

That's when you can earn points.

That makes her today's MVP. Her punches were on point.

- How cool. - I'll work even harder.

In the next sparring session,

let's work on using the attack patterns.

- That's our next goal. - Okay.

- How about it? - I'm in.

- Thank you for today. - Thank you.

Amazing.

- KO! - KO! Iron...

- Girls! - Girls!

Great work.

- Thank you for today. - I hope you win.

- Thank you. - It was an honor.

- It was an honor. - I'm finally loosening up.

I hope you win.

(We're not...)

(actually boxing today, are we?)

(It says "tournament" here.)

(Where did the Iron Girls go?)

(At a boxing tournament)

(So far, it was just a sneak peek.)

(Getting knocked down...)

(And bleeding from the nose)

(Facing a merciless, real tournament for the first time)

(The Iron Girls dive into a real tournament?)

(The basics of a boxing tournament, determining weight classes)

(I've never been below a certain weight.)

(Right now, I weigh around...)

I also need to lose weight.

(After determining their weight classes, )

(they will face actual fighters...)

(from the community sports competition.)

(It's time to put everything they've learned to the test.)

(They must calm their nerves...)

(and trust the 2 months of training.)

(From here on, the opponent will show no mercy.)

(A full 100 percent showdown)

(What will happen to the Iron Girls...)

(in the ring?)
