Okay.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

You're doing hard work.

Did you practice a lot?

We practiced too much.

We didn't rest for a day.

I know, right?

This is where lots of shooting takes place, right?

- Yes. - That's right.

It's frequently used.

I'm used to this place.

I brought something for you.

I wanted us to have some break time.

- Thank you. - That's why I'm here.

Thank you.

Shall we take a short break and move over?

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

- Thank you for the food. - Sure.

Thank you for the food.

Thank you.

(Eating)

(Drinking)

How are the preparations?

We prepared a lot, but I'm worried about safety.

There are falling and crashing scenes.

We're trying to make it as safe as possible.

Safety is important when doing the action scenes.

Dangerous moments are always there...

even if you prepare for them.

Since you aren't machines.

How did you come...

to become stunt actors?

I studied theater and film before.

You do look like you would have.

I really liked using my body.

There's something called tricking.

You keep turning around like in gymnastics.

I tried that,

and I contacted BEST.

And I started working in this field.

Stunt acting got more interesting the more I did it.

Also, people clapped for me at the action sites.

I think that's why I'm still in this field.

For me,

I did the martial arts tricking...

for about ten years when I was young.

I was in the musical field for some years too.

Then I met him on a shooting site before I started stunt acting.

He suggested stunt acting to me.

(Let's do it together.)

That's how I started.

It turned out to suit me well...

because I could act...

and combine my strengths of martial arts tricking.

So I'm having fun.

(Feeling glad)

You perform...

while trying to make it safe,

but there are inevitably dangerous situations that occur.

Your family or friends...

must worry about you a lot.

That's why I still haven't told my family...

that I am a stunt actor.

I just tell them I got hurt while exercising...

or from shooting a scene.

I don't tell them it's from stunt acting.

I always feel sorry for Sung Gu's mom.

I brought him to the stunt world.

I feel sorry.

(It's okay.)

Always.

You're a person.

Someone who's worked out more than an ordinary person.

Everyone gets burned by fire.

Who doesn't feel pain after crashing into something?

You're just enduring it, pretending it doesn't hurt.

I'm sure you all have those fears.

There are times like that. I do feel scared too.

But the moment I hear, "Ready, action,"

- it... - It goes away.

Yes. It goes away.

When the scene ends,

producing a great result,

and I'm safe, I feel pleasure.

It's something only I can feel.

No one else.

I think I continue this because of that pleasure.

What's the story this time?

It's about North Korea and South Korea.

Their aim is to retrieve...

something that we lost.

(The national intelligence service goes after them.)

The main concept is spy action.

Spy action.

(We can anticipate for real action in the final mission.)

So,

could you appear in our work?

(Appear in your work?)

There's a role.

Someone who gives orders.

The team leader.

- Team leader. - This one?

Could you help us with that role?

(He's interested.)

- There's one line. - A line.

Yes.

- Is there any action? - Unfortunately, no.

(There is no action.)

- I'll do it. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(Jang Hyuk will be a cameo actor.)

Thank you.

Let's go.

We'll start from the scene here.

You'll be looking behind,

and say, "The object that will shake the world is gone."

"It will be just you three this time."

"It will be just you three this time."

Salute.

- That's all. - You'll do that earlier.

Let's proceed.

- Let's start. - Okay.

- Ready, - Ready.

action.

- Ready, - Ready.

action.

The object that will shake the world is gone.

(The agents are ordered to retrieve the stolen object.)

It will be...

just you three this time.

Make sure you retrieve it.

(His acting will add a serious tone.)

Cut.

- Cut. - It's good.

(He sets the atmosphere with his line.)

(It receives a go in one take.)

Okay.

You'll be shooting for five hours starting now?

Yes.

That would be a tight schedule.

They're action scenes too.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Be careful. - Yes.

(Laughing)

I filmed one scene.

This is fun.

They'll be very busy shooting.

Be careful coming down.

(Jang Hyuk leaves.)

(The shooting begins.)

He'll come out from the darkness.

Chan Woong will come out...

and ambush.

There's a short drama. Could you show him?

It's a short drama.

Chan Woong will appear from the dark place.

(Roll, action.)

(They filmed it on set before...)

(and edited it.)

(Self-made film sequence)

I made this until yesterday midnight.

Other teams don't make this, right?

You should make this to avoid mistakes.

Preparing for preparations. Perfection after perfection.

That's how you make good work.

I planned it to take four hours.

It's because incidents may happen.

Someone might get hurt,

or some props might not work.

So I planned it so that it'll take only four hours.

Even Director Bong Joon Ho...

makes sure everything is perfect.

(Staring)

It's like you're selling insurance.

My MBTI type is INTJ.

I plan things.

- We need a slide here... - Yes.

We'll shoot it like this.

About 1, 2, or 3 seconds.

- Yes. - That should be enough.

(Timetable)

(Action shooting starts!)

(What's the first action scene?)

Get Ju Seong ready.

Ready for parkour.

I have to explain.

(Scene 1. A North Korean agent runs away with the stolen bag.)

Hold on. I need to explain.

If the hood covers your sight,

just remove it.

- Can't you just remove it earlier? - You can do that.

Chan Woong will go right and leave.

Just run when he says go. Just do what you do.

(ORTHODOX will present parkour action.)

It's a free topic.

So we decided to show our team's colours.

Parkour, martial arts, and gymnastics.

We wanted to include all those.

(They will show ORTHODOX's colour.)

Will you try it now?

Ready, action.

(Rehearsal)

(Feat. Parkour jump)

That's right.

(Jumping lightly)

Se Gye will give you the cue.

Continue running after that.

The speed drone will go with you.

You'll run from the back with the speed drone.

(ORTHODOX's...)

(secret weapon)

(Racing drone)

(Maximum speed of 180km)

(It flies at a high speed...)

(and adds energy to the film.)

Get ready.

Get ready for rehearsal.

- Ready. - Ready.

Ready.

(It will follow Chan Woong.)

- Action. - Action.

- Action. - Action.

(It's like the viewer is also running.)

Cut!

Check Chan Woong.

- What's wrong? - What is it?

What is it?

I bumped into it.

Where? Here?

You fell down here?

(Chan Woong fell down while running.)

Are you okay? How do you feel?

Where?

(Sighing)

Are you okay? Let me see.

(His hand was scratched by the props.)

- You were scratched. - Where?

I tripped over this bump.

(Tripping)

(He supported his body with his hand while falling.)

I didn't see that.

I'll just do it. I'll remove my hood.

- Remove it. - Yes.

It covers your eyes.

(He returns to the starting point.)

It happens sometimes.

I was more embarrassed.

A stunt actor fell down while running.

One, two, three.

(It's a relief that it wasn't a serious injury.)

One, two, three.

Should I just push it until the end?

Would you like to take a look, Chan Woong?

- It's okay. - Let's push it all the way.

It's okay?

Get ready. The drone will move.

- Ready. - Ready.

- Action. - Action.

(The North Korean agent runs away with the top-secret object.)

(Good, Chan Woong.)

Cue.

(Ju Seong appears.)

- Cut. - Okay, cut.

Cut.

(They monitor the recording.)

Let's see.

It's crazy.

Goodness.

(They love it.)

That's nice.

- Yes. It's good. - Let's go.

(They're very satisfied with the racing drone.)

It's nice.

It's great.

It was good.

- It's like a game. - Good.

(Where is the next location?)

(Harness?)

(Wire action?)

(They cut the shirt so that the hook comes out.)

It's perfect.

Let's hook it.

Okay.

(He hooks the harness on the car?)

(ORTHODOX's ending stunt topic)

(Car stunt)

(Jae Nam will hang onto the car.)

(They install a pulley in the car...)

(and attach it to the harness.)

Shake it.

Try pulling me.

(He hangs onto the car.)

(He's pulled in so that he doesn't fall.)

- Did you pull until the end? - Yes.

- Jae Nam. - Yes?

How far are we going?

Until down there. We'll take the curve.

- To the end. - Okay.

Should I go left or right in the forked road?

(Flustered)

I'm hanging outside the car. Stick to the right.

Remember that I'm outside the car.

Sure. I'll go to the left.

I tried multiple car actions...

while driving the car.

But never with someone on it. It's a lot of pressure.

It would be my fault if the person gets hurt.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

(Ready)

Ready, action.

(Please do not try these stunts at home.)

(Risky)

(Scene 6. The North Korean agent tries to escape,)

(but the South Korean agent hangs onto the car and follows him.)

(They're acting their best inside the car too.)

(A straight road appears after they turn right.)

There.

Cut.

Are you all right?

My feet touch the wheels.

(Se Gye is monitoring the result.)

- Jae Nam. - Yes?

The car is slow. Will it be dangerous if it speeds up?

It can go a little faster.

- The car is too slow. - Drive a little faster.

We need another camera here.

- I'll speed up this time. - Yes. You can double the speed.

Camera B will follow too.

- Are you sure you're okay? - Yes.

It's okay with me.

(He's worried.)

Pull a little more. Let's go.

(The driving scene will be shot with a racing drone.)

Go.

Focus on driving.

(The speed is higher.)

Go.

It works.

Drive on.

(The final straight road course)

Drive on. Go straight.

Step on it.

(ORTHODOX's spy action...)

(continues on.)

Cut. Are you okay? Check.

(It shows ORTHODOX's unique style.)

One, two, three.

(Realistic and incredible action continues.)

(Screaming)

- Cut. - Are you okay?

(How will ORTHODOX's film come out as?)

(How will their scenes come out?)

(Meanwhile, at another set for an action film...)

Here's the order of things for today.

- I already checked out the setup. - Okay.

First of all, we only have five hours.

When we're filming the scenes,

Min will park the car up front on the hill. Remember the hill?

He'll park it on the hill.

You can just stay in the car.

Leave only your phone.

We'll get an insert shot of the phone.

When the phone rings... You'll get a call from us.

- Then you can just answer the call. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Gosh. You're working hard. - Hello.

MONGDOL. How is it going?

- It's going well. - Is that so?

- You guys should eat something. - Okay.

You didn't even feed your crew.

- We have a lot of work to get done. - I see.

- But you should still eat. - Right.

We ordered boxed meals for you.

- Please have some food. - Thank you. Okay.

- Let's take a break. - Thank you.

Look at them. They're starving.

He's gotten slimmer. Feed him some food.

- Don't eat alone. - He's okay.

Not him.

- Let's go. - Okay.

- Let's go and eat. - Let's go.

- He's the best. - The best.

That looks good.

Gosh. I prepared a hot meal for you guys.

- Touch it. It's hot. - Right.

Please dig in before it gets cold.

- Thank you for the food. - Enjoy.

Enjoy.

(Boxed meals are the best while filming.)

- It's still hot, right? - Yes.

(Gobbling)

Gosh. He must not have eaten for a long time.

- He's gobbling up the food. - He's eating.

Hey, you'll get indigestion. Slow down.

Why can't you eat comfortably?

He's just inhaling the food.

(He's still happy.)

(A friendly mealtime)

By the way, our show is coming to an end now.

The viewers and people around me are the most curious about...

the reason behind choosing this as your profession.

Since we're wrapping things up, I would like to hear your stories.

I used to be a martial arts fighter.

You were a martial arts fighter?

- Mixed martial arts? - Yes.

Were you a professional fighter?

Yes. I was an MMA fighter for a while.

(He used to be quite slim when he was a fighter unlike now.)

How did you switch professions?

One of my superiors in the military...

asked me if I was interested in becoming a stunt performer.

- Your superior in the military? - Yes.

He was on this show too. Lee Gun Gu.

- Lee Gun Gu. - Yes. Lee Gun Gu.

- He was your superior. - Yes.

So I said I wanted to try it out. That's how I ended up here.

Then you must be confident when it comes to fighting scenes.

Yes.

- You can make it look realistic. - Yes.

The guys have a hard time with him because he can't control it.

- He can't control it, right? - Right.

- He can't control it. - He used to be a fighter.

He actually punches us.

(Unable to rebut)

I bet he hit people for real and pretended it was a mistake.

He did that a lot.

He did that a lot when he filmed with his seniors.

But my punches are much weaker now.

What about you, Ji Hye?

I watched a drama, "Gu Family Book."

And Actor Lee Seung Gi was really attractive in the drama.

While watching him in the drama,

I became curious about the crew...

that did the stunts and action scenes for the drama.

Then I found out it was MONGDOL.

MONGDOL did the stunts for the drama.

- Yes. - I see.

She called us then.

She said she wanted to be a stunt performer.

I asked her what kind of sports she did.

She said she was a good skater.

I told her to stick to skating.

- Right. - But she's in our crew now.

And she works hard.

- That's amazing. - She's our treasure now.

Seung Gi changed her life.

If another actor played his role,

you wouldn't have gotten...

- so interested in stunts. Right? - Right.

By the way, I bet you weren't so kind to the newcomers at first...

- because... - I say this from the get-go.

- I told them not to start this job. - Right.

- Why did you tell them that? - This is a tough profession.

Most of the kids we hired...

would only stay with us for a while.

We invested our time and taught them.

- You taught them, but... - But they left after a few months.

- I'm sure that's more common. - Right.

They just left.

That's why I told everyone not to start from the get-go.

I said, "This is a tough job. And people get injured."

So I didn't sugar coat anything.

Despite that, they decided to stay.

(That's why he's more grateful to his crew.)

So...

(As it's not an easy profession, his crew feels the same way.)

And I'll call you Chairman Jun.

- Chairman? - I have a favour to ask you.

What favour?

Can you do a cameo appearance for our last mission?

- Me? - Yes.

(Can you do a cameo appearance?)

And your role will be Chairman Jun.

- Chairman? - Yes.

- In the action film? - Yes.

(I see.)

I won't do it unless I get an action scene.

- There's an action scene. - Really?

- But... - I should do a flip.

Gosh.

- You have to make it work. - That will be my condition.

- Doing a flip without the wire. - Okay.

- Really? - You can do whatever you want.

Who is Chairman Jun?

Is he in the Mafia or something?

I'll be honoured.

- Will you be okay, though? - You have an important role.

Your crew will be evaluated with this film.

Are you sure you want me to be in it?

- People might lose their focus. - No. It will be our honour.

- We believe in you. - Really?

- Okay. I'll do it then. - Okay.

- It's an honour. - Same here.

- We cast him! - Let's go!

Let's do this, MONGDOL.

He's in.

He gave me a role.

You look great.

(The basement looks creepy.)

(The boss of the organization, Chairman Jun)

You can improvise too. "You jerk."

- Number four. - I'll hit them.

- Hey. - Okay.

(Channelling his character)

- Should we start? - Yes.

- Shoot. - Let's go.

- Let's go. Ready. - Rolling.

Ready. Action.

(To get rid of Min's friend, Jong Myeon,)

(Chairman Jun kidnaps Min's girlfriend and threatens her.)

Sir, she's here.

- Lee Hyun Soo. - Yes, sir.

Any news from Min?

- I'll call him. - Do that.

(Looking like a villain)

How come he hasn't called us yet?

(That's great acting.)

Gosh.

Here, sir.

Hey, Min.

Where are you?

Hello, sir.

(The scene is getting more intense.)

Did you get rid of him?

- Who? - "Who?"

What was his name? Jong Something.

I told you to get rid of him.

Why didn't you do it? You really didn't do it?

No, sir.

Do you think that T-shirt looks good on you?

(Do you think that T-shirt looks good on you?)

(T-shirt with an adorable bear)

(Cracking up at his unexpected improvisation)

You're laughing?

(Get a grip.)

We'll keep filming.

You...

(Director Park continues filming without stopping like a veteran.)

Hey, take it.

(Director Park continues filming without stopping like a veteran.)

Let's make this easy on ourselves. Okay?

- Take one out. - Yes, sir.

(Chairman Jun gets into the scene more.)

My gosh. Come on.

No.

- Get her to face the floor. - Wait.

Hey, the ball is moving.

- Yes, sir. - Okay?

Get her to stay still.

Wait! Sir.

What? I'll give you five minutes.

If you don't wrap it up in five minutes,

you can say goodbye to her face.

Got that?

(A perfect way to end the scene)

You can stop that.

- Cut. Good. - Cut.

Great job.

Okay.

(He's way too good.)

Gosh. We got it in one take.

(Satisfied)

Good work. Let's go down.

- Do your magic with editing. - Sure.

- We'll keep that here. - Yes.

- Okay. We'll do that here. - Thank you.

Okay. Let's do this in one take.

- We're ready. - Let's get ready!

Hey, Jong Myeon. Let's check the path.

Okay.

We did "Police Story" for our first mission.

So we combined comedy and action.

And our action scenes were quite comical.

When we did a story about Hong Gil Dong...

for our second mission,

I felt our characters overlapped in these two missions.

(They showed comical action scenes in the period drama mission too.)

So in our last mission,

we wanted to do a noir with real action.

That's the direction we're considering.

- Ready. Action. - Action.

Without the wire.

(The hitman, Jong Myeon, and Min barge into the target's hideout.)

(It will be shot in a long take.)

- Hey. - Get in.

Kick.

(Filming the scene with a long take will maximize the sense of urgency.)

(Is that a wire?)

(While his crew members are going up the stairs...)

Go.

(he goes straight to the 2nd floor without stopping.)

This is late. We'll go with this.

Okay.

(A clever way of using the layout to film their scene)

That's late. Okay.

You have to pull me up quickly.

When I first got there, I chose the building with a hole...

because I thought I could film everything in one take.

So I was trying to film everything by using the layout.

(The long-take scene was well-received in the 1st mission.)

(Even the movie director was impressed.)

The lines don't work?

(He made the routine spontaneously after seeing the building.)

It gets boring when the scenes are limited to one place.

And including the variety of camera angles,

when the viewers watch our film,

it won't be boring...

because there will be two different places.

With that thought flow and based on my experience,

I tried to use the space to the fullest extent.

Okay. Let's go.

Let's go.

(They're ready to film.)

- Rolling. - Let's roll. Ready.

(The wire team on the 2nd floor is ready too.)

Action.

That's fast.

- Hey! - Great.

(Groaning)

- Cut. - Cut.

Are you okay?

Cut.

Are you all right?

- You okay? - Darn.

Someone please call the medical team and doctor over.

Are you in pain right now? Are you hurt somewhere?

No. I was just scratched, and I think my pants are torn.

Where? Let me take a look.

(Checking the condition of his injury)

Show me where. Is it bleeding by any chance?

It's not bleeding, right?

(Fortunately, it's only a graze.)

- Aside from that, are you okay? - Yes.

(Torn pants)

It's fine. I'm okay.

I forgot about it.

(Suddenly, the atmosphere of the set has noticeably gone down.)

We almost had it.

(He's more concerned about losing the shot than his own injury.)

Let's do it one more time without this. Please take this away.

Let's prepare for the scene again.

Remove this.

We're rolling. Action.

(Shooting promptly resumes.)

Action.

(Forgetting about his injury, he focuses solely on shooting.)

There.

Get closer. Closer.

No, it's fine.

Take that.

(Securing the wire)

(Passing the camera over)

(The filming continues.)

Cut. Did we get the shot?

Let us monitor what we filmed.

I think everything was pretty in sync.

Okay. Let's head to the second floor.

(They successfully complete their long take with perfect chemistry.)

Seriously, why is everybody talking so much?

Only one person speaks at a time. Just one.

Are we going to film this or not?

(The atmosphere has abruptly gotten tense and serious.)

(What's happening?)

The fighting is fine and all,

but I can't really see anyone.

It's hard to tell who's who and what's what.

(This scene is a group fight scene.)

There are a lot of them.

So they come after all.

(Shooting becomes difficult as there are so many people involved.)

Get out of the way.

Okay, cut.

(What could have been the problem?)

Cut.

Cut.

In a mob scene, first and foremost,

the focus and attention need to be on the main character.

When you have a fight here...

but a group fight happening over there too,

(Group fight scenes is distractive due to its simultaneity.)

often times it's hard to tell and express...

who the main character is.

That's why I pay extra attention to make sure...

the main character really stands out.

Personally, I believe that in order for the main character to look cool,

the supporting action actors have to look cool as well, if not more.

- You're going to go flying, right? - Yes.

Kick as can hard as you can then.

Nothing like this. Do it with a bang.

All right, we're rolling. Ready?

Action.

Cut.

Cut.

Are you all right? Okay.

Here we go. Ready?

Action.

(Mixed martial artist Choi Min is at work in his hallway action scene)

(Actual blows are dealt to up the realness of the action sequences.)

Take it hard, like bam.

One, two, three.

Cut.

(MONGDOL's action film is the climax of noir action.)

Where do you think you're going?

Die, just die.

- Cut. - That's a wrap.

Okay, good work everyone.

Nice job, everybody.

- Thanks for your hard work. - You too.

If you film me like this, won't I seem too weak?

(Director Park Jin Soo seeks treatment)

(only after everything's done.)

- You're going to look impressive. - No, I'm not.

Everything's fine, but I was scratched by a rusty metal.

It'd be best to disinfect the area, just in case.

(Question: Do these kinds of things occur often?)

I wouldn't even call this an injury though.

This is just...

(Like always, he accepts the fact as calmly as ever.)

Does he need any stitches?

Nothing's been deeply cut. It's a simple graze,

so no stitches are required.

- Come back if it comes undone. - Okay.

- Or if it falls off, all right? - Yes.

(Shaking off his injury,)

(Director Jin Soo gets back on his feet.)

(On the set for 9STUNT's action film)

Come here, everyone. Let's go.

- Gosh. - Amazing.

- How great. - Not bad.

- It's a Christmas party. - It really does seem like one.

(Today's set has been decorated to give off year's end holiday vibes.)

- It looks good. - It's really pretty too.

(What final mission have they prepared for this set?)

Our last mission is...

a tale of killers that takes place in a banquet hall.

(A tale of killers)

(In celebration of Christmas, villain boss "Alex" hosts a party.)

(Three undercover killers sneak into the party to assassinate him.)

(Will they be able to penetrate the ironclad protection...)

(of Alex's bodyguards and succeed in killing him?)

- Let's practice our routine now. - All right.

Right, this is how it will begin.

(9STUNT coordinates and synchronizes their action sequences one by one.)

There's no rush.

(In Hwan's and Je Woong's rough action continues.)

Okay.

(Is that Yu Hui looking on with anxious eyes?)

You guys will continue to fight all the way here.

Why don't Yu Hui and So Hee practice now?

Okay.

You enter and the fight begins.

(They run through their kicks against Je Woong, but...)

Okay, you've kicked him.

(something about Yu Hui's kicks seem a bit too slow.)

Yu Hui, you just did a spin kick, right?

I think your left foot has to go in a little faster.

(Sluggish)

(This isn't what I want...)

Slowly now, kick through and go straight in.

- You're still a bit slow. - Okay.

(Yu Hui's body isn't moving as she wishes it to.)

This is frustrating.

In taekwondo,

there's a move where you go like this and do it.

When we were learning to do turn kicks in taekwondo,

we were taught to jump before the kick.

So that's how I've been doing it for the past four years.

However, I'm told not to do that here.

(Yu Hui and So Hee each have 16 years of experience in taekwondo.)

(With a fifth-degree black belt in taekwondo, they're expert kickers.)

(They've devoted two-thirds of their lives to taekwondo.)

I haven't been able to lose my habits from taekwondo...

and change my fighting style to fit cinematic action sequences yet.

Other people will probably think, "Why is she doing taekwondo here?"

when they see me fighting.

(Will she be able to overcome this challenge?)

Since they're still setting everything up,

and there's an unoccupied space upstairs,

let's go over there.

So the twins, Yu Hu and So Hee,

are the personal bodyguards. They're always right next to him.

Should we slowly run through the sequence here then?

(Je Woong and the twins are planning to showcase 2 vs. 1 action.)

Slowly now.

You're going to come in with great power and force,

kick, then do this, and bam.

(Scrutinize)

First this, then next...

Go slowly, and try again.

Say you did the jump sidekick. Okay, you did it.

Next, kick...

(Conscious)

What is that? What kicks did you just do?

Again, you did the jump sidekick.

Wait, it's the jump roundhouse kick.

- Then fast front kick. - Move in a bit closer for that.

How about we take out the fast front kick?

Do a kick here, then go in like this.

Just be faster with your fast front kick then.

I'm asking you to do it again because...

your movements suddenly become too loose after the fast front kick.

(After the fast front kick,)

(her speed visibly slows.)

- Right. - So just kick towards the bottom,

then pull up straight away.

I think it'll be better to do it this way.

Let's try it again slowly.

- Yu Hui, kick hard. It's fine. - Okay.

From the top then.

(They start again from the very beginning.)

- I'll do it again. - You can take it slow. It's okay.

Kick, kick,

and kick.

(Her speed is still too slow.)

(Without any improvements to the problem,)

(it is now Soo Hee's turn.)

Now,

when Yu Hui goes in to attack,

you also have to go in deeper at first.

- Got it. - Okay.

Your foot has to be pretty close to Je Woong's face for the shot.

- You should've gone in already. - I understand.

Don't just answer, move in.

(Move in now.)

All right, again.

Moving in...

Isn't that too far?

(Her foot is too far away from Je Woong.)

- It's far, right? - I'll go in more.

You have to move in way more.

Late. You're too late.

I'll demonstrate the distance for you.

When Yu Hui closes in,

you have to be all the way here already.

(His body moves straight in.)

Got it?

(She gives it another try but still falls short of the mark.)

The distance is still too far, right?

Let's run through this a few more times.

We'll go downstairs and get organized.

- All right. - Let's go.

(The kick sequences keep holding the twins back.)

(The unsatisfactory rehearsal ends, leaving much to be desired.)

What should we do?

You feel uneasy doing the roundhouse kick with your left foot, don't you?

- You're afraid of hitting her. - Right.

Then do it with your right. Tell him.

Soo Hee, are you okay kicking with your left foot?

It's uncomfortable, isn't it?

If you hesitate in the middle of the sequence to avoid hitting Je Woong,

- your kicks turn out like this. - You're right.

As soon as I turn,

I should kick out right away.

Whenever I feel that I'm too close to the other person though,

I tend to stop and stall right here.

Since I have to be around here, the distance is...

No. Just kick me. It's fine.

Yes. You know your legs...

are shorter than you think, right?

He said my legs are short.

- Yours are this long. - They are?

- Yes. - She got short legs.

Okay. I got it.

I don't think I'll get kicked. It's better to be close.

Let's try it here. Go.

Paw.

- Yes. - That's good.

It's fine. If Je Woong can't dodge it, it's his fault.

Do it with confidence.

Yu Hui, Soo Hee, just think about making your kicks nice and precise.

When you guys fight and kick...

Then I won't care whether you are hit or not.

Think that you're really going to kick me.

- I'll dodge it. - Okay.

- If you do that, I'll be at ease. - I'll do that.

(They start filming the action film.)

(The twins became bodyguards.)

(Her eyes are charismatic.)

9STUNT will win. Wait for us.

(Laughing)

I'm sorry.

(Laughing)

(Bye.)

(That was fake.)

(Winking)

You're joking around.

I heard 9STUNT will win today.

Is this a celebration party?

Yes. They prepared a nice celebration party.

Cheers.

(Never-ending skit)

We should do something like this.

(Glancing)

(Their seniors are practicing without a break.)

(Serious mode)

- I'll go sideways a little. - It's awkward for me to do it.

(She puts the wine glass back.)

Shall we practice too?

The timing and stuff.

(Will the twins be able to do their stunt well?)

Ready, action.

(Will the twins be able to do their stunt well?)

Like this.

(Their seniors are filming in the meantime.)

(You can tell he's 100 percent into it from his look.)

- Cut. - Cut.

- Shall we do it? Action. - Yes.

(There's no mistake.)

Are you okay?

(The next is a difficult car scene.)

(He showed a great stunt, throwing his entire body.)

Are you all right?

(Their seniors who showed passionate acting are done filming.)

- Soo Hee. - Soo Hee.

Yes.

Think about your facial expressions too.

(A 2-on-1 fight scene between twin guards and killer Je Woong)

Action.

(Tilting his head)

Cut.

Let's do it again.

I think Yu Hui's kicks should be better.

- They lack energy. - I got it.

You should stretch your legs when you kick.

- I got you. - Yes.

(The kicks should be powerful.)

(But her legs go down without stretching.)

- Are you ready? - Yes.

- Yes. - Okay. Let's go.

Action.

Cut.

(As she fell, she broke a prop.)

I'm fine.

- Are you okay? - Yes. I'm okay.

- Are you all right? - Yes.

(Yu Hui turns over a new leaf.)

- Let's do it again. - Let's do it again.

(The twins' 3rd attempt for the stunt)

(The twins are clenching their teeth and continue.)

Cut.

(How did it turn out this time?)

Let's do it like this. It was good.

- Are your legs okay? - Yes. They're fine.

- Are they all right? - Yes.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Well done.

That was cool.

You did a good job.

(Yu Hui did a great job in the end.)

Let's break the sugar glass.

(But it's not over?)

(It's her first time breaking sugar glass.)

You can do it like that.

(Nervous)

Let's go.

- Be careful. - I'll be fine.

Ready.

- Action. - Go.

- Let me see. - Brush it off gently.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Stunt is very cool.

Like me breaking sugar glass.

(Laughing)

It doesn't feel like work.

I do it because I like it.

It feels like a dream.

(I'm happy as if I'm in a dream.)

(The day of the final mission)

(The last mission...)

(to become the best stunt team in Korea begins.)

(Super Action)

It's a little twisted, but it looks fine.

(They're getting ready to show the best stunt ever.)

(They're setting up unfamiliar equipment.)

(The three teams are doing a final check.)

Are you going to use this?

(Who will become the winners today?)

- Hello. - Hello.

(Hyun Moo and Jang Hyuk visited them to show their support.)

The last stunt is a fire stunt.

- Yes. - You chose fire stunt.

Who is the main character who will do the fire stunt?

The main character is...

(Respect)

me.

The main character.

(It's Hwang In Hwan.)

Is there a reason why you picked In Hwan?

When we were creating the story...

and assigning roles,

we thought he fits the character.

He was also good...

at the stunt we were going for.

Is there something like this?

He's the best at a fire stunt. She's the best at a car stunt.

- There is something like that. - Right?

- Are you a fire stunt expert? - I'm not exactly an expert,

- but I have experience. - You have experience.

- You can't ignore experience. - Right.

Because...

just knowing the theory and doing it...

when you know how to deal with it in real life...

- are very different. - That's true.

Action.

(Unlike other stunts that require individual skills only,)

(you need real-life experience to do a fire stunt.)

Do you have a forte?

What's your forte?

Appearance?

Appearance?

(Laughing)

(Uncle smile)

- It applies to both of you then. - Yes.

- Cuteness too. - Cuteness and...

- Cuteness and appearance? - Yes.

She said it without hesitation.

Cuteness and appearance.

For stuntwomen,

they usually act as a double of an actress,

so they exercise a lot to look like one.

- Right. - To be in shape.

They also take care of their appearance.

Actresses like it when their doubles look similar to them.

- Right. - Yes.

I want to know...

how you became stunt performers.

I've been especially curious about the twin sisters.

I studied taekwondo in college.

Most people there...

become taekwondo instructors.

But I thought I could become a taekwondo instructor any time,

- so I wanted to do something else. - You didn't want to do...

what most people do.

No.

And one of my seniors who was a member of 9STUNT...

- contacted me. - You got an offer.

Yes. That's how I started.

Did you follow your sister then?

I didn't follow her.

I also got an offer.

At first, I said...

You said no?

- "No!" - Well...

At first, as I did taekwondo for over a decade,

I was afraid to try something else.

I understand that.

I said I would think about it and refused the offer.

And when I got an offer again,

I thought I could only try it when I was young.

Did you guys study in the same college?

- Yes. - Yes.

It's quite amazing.

That's really amazing.

I think there's a synergy when we do it together.

- So I want to do it together. - You like me so much, don't you?

- No. - You guys are so funny.

You should get ready now. If 9STUNT...

has a cheer, let's say it before we go.

Okay. Nine.

- Let's do it! - Let's do it!

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- You got this. - We got this.

(The final round starts.)

Super Action to pick the best stunt team in the world.

I'm Jun Hyun Moo, the host. It's good to see you.

(Welcome.)

After a long journey of seven weeks,

the final round where the final winners will be decided...

is about to begin.

Each team picked car stunt,

(ORTHODOX picked car stunt.)

fire stunt,

(9STUNT picked fire stunt.)

and fall stunt.

I want to talk with the leaders.

- But I don't see Jae Nam. - Right.

What happened?

He tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday.

So he couldn't come.

I became...

the director today.

(Shin Se Gye debuted as a director.)

(Congratulations.)

He's an ambitious guy.

Did you become the director as you wanted?

Or did others approve of it?

- It was because he's the tallest. - Yes.

- I'm the second tallest. So... - Yes.

That's good. I hope he recovers quickly.

- MONGDOL. - Yes.

How do you feel?

- We feel pressure. - I see.

But the younger guys did a good job at first.

So for the final round, we decided to trust the three older guys...

There was trust.

will do it.

We will win the final live mission.

- You will win. - Yes.

That's great.

Yoo Si Jung,

- the director of 9STUNT. - Yes.

You must have a different resolution today.

The video itself is different from what we showed before.

The stuns are also quite different.

(What kind of stunts are they?)

He said they would show something that is new in Korea.

Something that was never done.

There must be a reason why it was never done.

(Speechless)

There must be a reason why it was never done.

- It's not an easy one. - Okay.

We'll do something difficult.

If you say everything, it will spoil it.

So just give us a little hint.

We'll ride a motorcycle.

(The master of motorcycle is perplexed.)

It's like we're doing two stunts at the same time.

- That's enough. - Yes.

The show...

I got it.

A motorcycle and a car will crash.

That's the one.

I had a peek. That's not it.

(It's not.)

That's not it.

ORTHODOX who picked a car stunt.

- Yes. - You showed us a little last time.

Is it better than that?

For the first mission, "All of Us Are Dead,"

a motorcycle crashed a car that was parked.

(A motorcycle crashed a car that was parked.)

This time, I'll drive a car and overturn it.

- It's more difficult. - Yes.

That'd be scary.

Whose opinion was reflected the most?

Chan Woong.

(They followed Chan Woong's opinion.)

The director's opinion was reflected the most.

What was your contribution, Se Gye?

(What did Se Gye, the acting director, contribute?)

I supported and cheered them a lot.

(Shin Se Gye, 34 years old, in charge of cheering and supporting)

- They must've helped them a lot. - Yes.

(Our director of the day is reliable.)

One-take Super Action Ending...

that will be the grand finale.

Let me call the three judges.

Please come out.

All right.

(Welcome.)

(Actor Jang Hyuk)

(Movie director Kang Yun Sung)

(Stuntman Lee In Sub)

It's already the final round.

What's your main criteria?

As we have a clear theme,

I'm expecting a stunt...

that shows the characteristics of the theme.

I'll mainly focus...

on how their abilities are displayed.

Movies should be fun first and foremost.

They should be fun.

Yes. So I'll pick the team that is the most fun.

He has clear criteria. It should be fun.

Hyuk.

I'll see if the stunt...

is portrayed well in the storyline.

I think that's the main point.

That's great.

Both the action film and the live mission...

will be evaluated as always.

The final round.

Firstly,

it's MONGDOL that picked the fall stunt.

(MONGDOL that picked fall stunt goes first.)

(Here it comes.)

MONGDOL, please do a final check for the live mission.

9STUNT and ORTHODOX,

please go to the waiting room.

Super Action.

- Super Action. - Super Action.

(9STUNT and MONGDOL go to the audience seat.)

(They can see it live right in front of them.)

(They will watch it in the front row in the truck.)

(Super Action)

Finally. I'm excited.

I'm so excited.

We're going to see MONGDOL first.

Please come out.

I'm excited.

Hello.

(Taking a deep breath)

As we said before, we're going to see the action film...

before watching the live action.

Can you tell us about the story?

It's about two boys and a girl...

who grew up in an orphanage.

Becoming adults, the two boys became killers.

(The two friends became killers.)

And he has to pick one of the two.

(It all depends on Choi Min's choice!)

His friend...

- or his girlfriend. - No. Don't do that.

(Friendship versus love)

There will be a plot twist at the end.

That's interesting.

He should choose between his friend and the girl.

Between his friend and his girlfriend.

(Who will Choi Min choose?)

I see.

I heard you cast...

- a star actor for your action film. - Yes.

It was very difficult to cast him.

It must've not been easy considering his schedule.

That's why we let him film first.

(Shaking his head)

(It's fun to watch.)

- Was he sensitive? - Yes.

He must've given them a hard time.

I heard his acting was amazing.

(He hit it over the wall.)

(He couldn't hold his laughter.)

- I heard he didn't make a mistake. - Right.

It was almost one-take.

(Okay.)

(He's embarrassed.)

All right. Please look forward to see who he is.

(Please look forward to Hyun Moo.)

Let's continue the live.

Super Action.

- Super Action. - Super Action.

(MONGDOL's final rehearsal 5 hours ago)

You should do it as the crane is here.

- Yes. We'll do it now. - We'll set it up.

Yes. You should do it now.

(The crane is here.)

Let's prepare the wire.

(He's getting ready skillfully.)

In both hands.

Make him fall and take it out.

It's a stunt mission.

I wanted to give the younger ones a chance so that they can stand out.

But wire action is dangerous.

One mistake...

can often lead to an accident.

That's why I thought I should do it.

It'd be 11m, right?

(Humans are the most afraid when they're 11m high.)

Give me a harness.

Give me a harness.

A harness for the director.

Both hands.

(A harness is used to fasten one's body to the rope for wire action.)

(A harness is used to fasten one's body to the rope for wire action.)

Is there a little strap to tie the camera and me?

So that it won't fall even if I miss it.

(Here!)

This is enough.

(Why is the martial arts director are using wire?)

Do you want more? Are you okay?

The last mission is a stunt mission...

including a falling stunt.

I'll tie a camera to me...

and film them in the back. If I use wire,

the video will become more thrilling.

I haven't been doing a stunt work for about 13 years.

But...

I'll try it.

- Shall we go? - Yes.

Should I roll the camera?

We'll put him up.

We don't have to roll the camera yet.

Be careful. In the back.

In 2, 3.

Be careful. In the back.

The left side is...

(As much as they pull...)

To his left.

Okay.

In the back.

(Very stable)

Stop.

People holding the wire should keep their eyes on the person only.

- Okay. - Okay.

Start late, but be quick.

Is it done? Okay.

Let's up him up.

- In 1, 2. - In 2, 3.

- In 1, 2. - In 2, 3.

(Relaxed)

Release it a little.

- Let's release it a little. - Let's release it a little.

A little bit more.

Okay.

(He landed on the container.)

Okay. Shall we go?

- Yes. - Yes.

Don't do it quickly. Let's just check the distance.

Let's do it slowly.

- Yes. - Yes.

Prepare the wire.

- Yes. - Yes.

Here we go. Action.

In 1, 2, 3.

Go.

(Did he miss the rope?)

- Gosh. - I pulled it.

(He rolled using a breakfall as he fell.)

(Groaning)

(The landing was unstable.)

Go.

- Are you okay? - Are you okay?

Are you all right?

Release the wire gently.

Release it slowly when the camera comes closer at the end.

All right.

- But... - Hold on.

- Wait. - My chest feels tight.

I think I pulled a muscle.

(The rehearsal was halted for a moment.)

- Grab the wire more at the end. - A little bit more?

- The impact is big. - Okay.

Take a close look.

Gosh. I'm scared as it's been a long time.

Are you all right?

Jumping off without the wire would be better.

But with the wire...

Should we put you down faster?

- No. It should be slower. - Slower?

- About 2 to 3m? Okay. - I'll keep my distance from him.

It was a little unstable during the rehearsal.

Because the youngest ones were in charge of the wire.

As expected, they dropped me too hard.

It hurt a little.

If I blame him,

it'll only make him more nervous and get worse.

I suffered the pain alone.

So they wouldn't get nervous.

It should be...

We just tested it.

If it's too slow, I'll hit it.

Okay.

(Will MONGDOL succeed it in the live show?)

We'll start the live mission.

We're going to succeed the last mission.

(Fall stunt)

Are they starting right away?

He's going up.

Watch out for the bump behind you.

He's going up.

One, two, three.

Does that put a lot of pressure on your body? Does it hurt?

It hurts.

If you don't tighten it enough, it'll show.

- But you shouldn't show it. - You must prevent it.

It's also for safety.

Otherwise, it'll go loose.

I see.

If you watch, it's difficult to...

keep balance when you put one arm forward...

and the other in the back.

(It's an advanced action.)

Let's try it.

Is the wire ready?

- Yes. - Yes.

Okay. Let's start.

The cameraman is going to fall...

along with the actor.

He's trying to film the fall.

(The stunt coordinator plans to jump with the camera.)

Stunt coordinators jump...

- with the camera on wire... - On wire.

when filming.

Their camera skill has improved so much.

(It's possible...)

(because stunt coordinators' camera skill has improved.)

It's not only for the live mission,

but they're also going to connect it to the next scene.

That's right.

(A choice made after considering the camera angle)

Now,

let's watch the action film.

Then let's move on to the live film.

(We'll watch the ending live.)

(Super Action)

Geez.

The insert shot...

on the photo...

foreshadows the relationship.

What?

Where are you?

Okay.

(Chairman Jun)

Yes, sir.

Okay, okay. I'm on my way.

His girlfriend?

He's here.

Let's go.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Get them.

My goodness.

I love that angle.

I like the camera move.

As it goes up,

they're showing one by one according to the flow.

Because it's a one-shot film, it was probably hard to meet timing.

- Who are you? - Who are you?

There are many.

- Who are you? - Who are you?

Who's there?

You got here somehow.

Guys.

Go.

What?

- My goodness. - He got hit hard.

You prick.

The punches look so real.

I think they were trying to depict friendship.

I can feel the power.

(Groaning)

I like the fall.

Gosh.

(Exclaiming)

- Because he's big, he's strong. - Yes.

Yes, sir.

Choi Min.

Are you nuts?

(Laughing)

What should we do about his acting?

He's immersed.

Let's see if you still hesitate after this.

Min.

No. Don't do it.

Yu Na.

Stop it.

Geez.

Hold it.

Why can't we keep it simple?

Grab one.

You're good at acting.

(He means it.)

Why can't we keep it simple?

This is a putter. Get me seven.

I'm sorry, sir.

Don't you know anything about golf?

Why would you get me a putter?

Here, sir.

- Put her down. - Wait.

The ball's moving.

No!

I can hit the driver with seven.

Min. Watch. Here it goes.

I'll send it straight to the right.

Fine. I'll do it.

Okay.

- Get rid of her. - Yes, sir.

You nailed the scene.

(He's the scene stealer.)

Geez.

Where's he hiding? That rat.

Rat?

Are you a cat then?

You useless piece of trash. Die.

Geez.

I like the detail.

Geez.

Dang it.

Die.

Hey. Stop.

Boys. Get rid of him.

Yes, sir.

- Get him. - Get him.

Run.

- Pull. - Hurry.

Pull.

(Super Action)

(Everyone exclaims.)

(Applauding)

I like that idea.

- Yes. I liked that part. - He jumps off.

He fell at the end,

so I think he's going to fall.

MONGDOL will proceed the last live mission.

Is the wire ready?

Yes, it's ready.

- It's ready. - It's ready.

It's very high when you get up there.

It looks high from here too.

(Exhaling)

Okay.

I'm getting nervous.

(Nervous)

Let's start. High.

Please don't get hurt.

Be careful.

(Do not try this.)

- Action. - One, two, three.

(What's the result of MONGDOL's fall stunt?)

(MONGDOL's fall stunt ends.)

(I loved the scene.)

(Even the legendary stunt man won't be able to do it.)

(Car stunt by ORTHODOX)

(Jaw dropping)

How did they film it?

(The film director wants to learn how to produce it.)

(Fire stunt by 9STUNT)

(Extremely advanced technique)

(Unprecedented action in Korea)

(Who's the first winner of Super Action?)

(It is...)

(9STUNT versus ORTHODOX versus MONGDOL)
