(Records of 2 weeks of training)

(Sae Rok receives running training to strengthen her stamina.)

That's the way to do it.

Breathe in through your nose.

Raise your thighs higher.

That's it. Relax your ankles.

(Running 3km while fixing her posture)

Relax your ankles.

Raise the hipbone and thighs.

There you go.

Breathe.

You have rhinitis,

so you need to overcome the shortcomings and risks.

(During the previous training)

(Sniffling)

(Sniffling)

(Sniffling)

(Sae Rok has rhinitis.)

(Breathing in and out)

(She breathed through her mouth whenever she ran.)

(Her breath came out ragged, and she became tired very quickly.)

Okay. Nasal breathing.

Diaphragmatic breathing.

(Breathing training to overcome her weakness)

Once you're used to it, you'll improve a lot.

You need to keep practicing even if it gets very exhausting.

(Sae Rok's training log:)

(The first running training in my life)

(Due to my poor stamina, I needed the running training.)

(Nasal breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, mouth breathing)

(Breathing through the nose is hard because I have rhinitis.)

(May 31)

(June 1)

(Today, she runs alone.)

(She does the breathing training diligently...)

(to overcome rhinitis.)

(When I did nasal breathing and diaphragmatic breathing, )

(I didn't run out of breath despite getting a runny nose.)

(I can't believe this worked. This is why I need to learn things.)

I ran 4.4km.

I ran diligently.

(Sweating)

Seriously, I can do it too.

If I didn't have a runny nose,

I could do better.

Let's fight on.

Iron Girls!

Get ready. Set, go.

Faster!

(Sae Rok's training log: 2nd running training)

(Blood, sweat, tears, and snot)

(Rhinitis, I'm on my way to catch you.)

Keep going.

(Run before I catch you.)

- One, two. - One, two.

Jab, jab, one, two.

(Hook)

Hold on a second.

- I... - Your hook is too slow.

(Keep it short.)

Hit it.

There you go. Again.

(She focuses on the movements she can't do.)

One, two, hook, backstep, one, two.

Keep it simple. Jab, jab.

One, two, hook, backstep,

one, two.

Jab, jab, one, two.

(Sae Rok's training log: I learned a new technique today.)

(Moving footwork seems like a very good technique.)

There you go.

(I'll train hard and make this technique my own.)

(I work out outside of the gym too.)

(3 sets of jump roping, 6 routines)

(I worked out for real. I'm so proud!)

(Uie and I took a lesson together for the first time in a while.)

(There was a lot of sweat and snot.)

(We really gave it our all.)

(She's so diligent.)

(Instead of training to show people, she does it to overcome herself.)

(I always learn by watching her.)

(It's before her play in the provinces.)

(Despite her busy schedule, Uie trains on her own.)

(Uie's training log:)

(Private training in the morning)

(Thankfully, I got to work out since there was a fitness room.)

(Exercising alone gets lonely and exhausting.)

(Today, she did technical training with the coach.)

Jab, jab, one, two.

(Hook)

(One, two, duck)

(Hook)

You need to go back.

(Hooks are still hard for Uie.)

Go back.

It'll be a disaster if you can't do a hook properly.

(She's mad that she can't do as well as she'd like.)

One, two, uppercut.

Uppercut.

- Uppercut, hook. - Hook.

Hook.

(Uie's training log:)

(Why are uppercuts and hooks so hard for me?)

(I didn't even get to weaving with the coach today.)

(Doing uppercuts and hooks took up 2 hours of the lesson!)

(Hard work doesn't lie.)

(Uie's training log: Morning training)

(Boxing is an insane workout. Coach doesn't let me rest at all!)

(I'll have my revenge! One, two, focus!)

(Sweaty)

(Uie's training log: I exercised with Ju Hyun.)

(We went over the things we were bad at!)

(Let's work hard! Let's go!)

(Ju Hyun is busy preparing for a play.)

All right.

- Hold on a second. - Go ahead.

(Who is she training with?)

(A senior boxer who is in a play with her, Actor Lee Sang Yi)

(He came to help with his incredible boxing skills.)

Hit me!

- Nice. - There you go.

(Thanks to Actor Lee Sang Yi, )

(she got to train despite her busy schedule.)

(June 2)

(June 3)

(Ju Hyun's training log:)

(I had intense training with Coach Ji Hoon.)

(Despite worries over the schedule, I was in good condition.)

Go.

(I'll massage my calves well.)

(After strengthening my legs, I went back to boxing training.)

(She works out diligently to strengthen her calves.)

(How about the ace member, In Ah?)

- Hello. - Welcome.

My condition worsened.

(Not a boxing gym, but a hospital?)

Perhaps my body can't keep up with my passion.

(Why did In Ah visit a hospital?)

I thought, "My knees will be over if I jump once more."

I can't describe that pain.

(Pain so great that she thought that her knees would be over?)

It hurts.

(Last year as well, )

(In Ah struggled with knee pain.)

(A month of fierce training)

(In the end, )

(her knee pain came back.)

(her knee pain came back.)

It looks like there is a problem with her cartilage.

There is inflammation in her tendons.

There is also a problem with her fat pad.

I think it's a mix of those three issues.

(Footwork is crucial in boxing. Will In Ah be okay?)

I need to win a medal.

Seriously.

This is my challenge.

Forget about the boxing challenge. I want to win a medal myself.

(She is desperate for recovery.)

In my opinion,

we should decide on the treatment after assessing the condition.

Okay.

(Measures for recovery:)

(Don't do any exercises that use the knees for 10 days.)

(Focus on rehabilitation and treatments only.)

Why do I never get used to it?

You're right. There will be a bit of pain.

Breathe slowly.

- Gosh. - Slowly.

Now, the hips. For ten minutes,

- ice the area before going to bed. - Okay.

(In Ah's training log:)

(Physical therapy and shockwave therapy at the hospital)

(In Ah's training log:)

(I steeled my mind and went to do some aquatic therapy.)

(I thought about boxing even during the therapy.)

(My knees have to get better! Get back up, Seol In Ah!)

(I'll soon go back to training as the youngest one.)

Five seconds.

(In Ah focused on rehabilitation.)

(She went back to exercising after 10 days.)

I missed this.

(I missed exercising.)

(June 7)

(Iron Girls worked hard to become boxing champions.)

(June 9)

(June 10)

(They did their absolute best for 2 weeks.)

(What will be the result of their hard work?)

Let's go! Go!

Oh, my gosh. We're back.

Okay.

I love the smell of the gym.

The smell of exercising.

- I want to walk as slowly as I can. - The smell of exercising.

You guys got used to coming to the gym, right?

- Yes. - All right.

- I changed my mindset. - How so?

No boxing, no life.

"No boxing, no life."

Without boxing, there's no life.

- That's cool. - I can see...

- No life. - that you definitely changed...

after the body shot.

(During the promise boxing last time, )

(she received her first body shot.)

(She experienced how scary boxing could be.)

You grow through pain.

How much time do we have left until the first competition?

A month and a half?

That's right. You have a month and a half left.

- Not much time remains. - Not much time remains.

What am I going to do? I'm nervous.

- You need to get better. - We don't have enough time.

Today, you'll train to prepare for the actual situation.

- The actual situation? - Advanced skills?

You need to prepare for entering the ring...

- and participating in a match. - Okay.

Thus, you'll train to apply what you've learned...

to the actual situation.

- Okay. - That sounds good.

(Today's training)

(Training for the actual match 1. Parry)

(Training for the actual match 2. Shoulder hit)

(And)

(A mysterious figure who suits the training will appear!)

To prepare for the actual match, you'll learn two things.

The first thing is a parry.

- A parry? - Yes, a parry.

It's a technique of deflecting an opponent's punch.

We'll show you.

At first, you learned how to block...

in case of the one-two.

- Yes. - This time,

you deflect the punch.

(A parry is a defensive technique of deflecting the incoming punch.)

- It's like throwing the opponent. - A parry.

(Captain Kim also showed a parry.)

(A parry is a defensive technique of deflecting the incoming punch.)

(so that the opponent misses.)

When there's an incoming jab,

send it diagonally to break up the force.

When it comes, deflect it like this.

But when there's an incoming jab, don't send it down this much.

- Just slightly. - Yes.

Don't send it down this much.

Let me explain. If you send it down a lot,

- I'll follow up with a punch. - That's right.

- Your opponent can do that. - It can be a feint.

Keep it light. If you fail,

- you need to guard yourself. - It's important.

If your arms go down, it'll be late.

- You'll get it when you practice. - Slightly.

What should you do after parrying?

You should attack.

Our pattern always goes, block and hit.

Dodge and hit.

- It has always been that way. - Yes.

This is the same. After parrying,

counterattack.

(After parrying, a counterattack must follow.)

Punch, punch. Go like this.

Push. Punch, punch.

(Parry, one, two)

Afterward... Push, punch. Do it right away.

(Parry, two)

It'll be two right away.

When you do the two after parrying, your feet don't move.

- You punch with your waist. - Okay.

- Punch. Like this. - Punch.

(The impact from the waist is important.)

Use your waist only.

(Parry, two)

- Do you get it? - Coach,

can you parry with your left hand?

- You can. - You can?

(Parry, one, two, Parry, two)

(Unlike the two techniques of attacking after defending)

Let's say the opponent isn't attacking. Then...

Walk and hit.

(Walk, two)

- Let's have them practice on me. - Okay.

You can fix their posture as we go along.

- Okay. - One at a time.

- Put your gloves on. - Put your gloves on.

- Let's try parrying. - Let's go.

One at a time.

- Uie. - Uie.

(Captain Uie practices parrying first.)

- Push, punch. - There you go.

(Parry and attack.)

- There you go. - Hit.

- There you go. - Her reach is long!

There you go.

(Long)

Good.

- One, two. - That's it.

- Push. Punch, punch. - Good.

- Tap. Lightly. - Good.

Good one-two.

- That's it. Very good. - She's strong.

- Good. That was nice. - Yes!

- You're so good. - It brushed past me.

This time, parry and puch.

- Push, punch. - Good.

- Push, punch. - Good.

(She doesn't seem satisfied.)

- This is tricky. - Push, punch.

- Okay. Relax your shoulders. - Push, punch.

- Now? - You should do that.

- Push, punch. - My gosh.

(Both the attack and defence don't work.)

- You're doing it too hastily. - Here's why.

- I just can't do this. - Listen.

You already know that the opponent's punch is coming,

so you keep coming forward to parry.

(Her arm moves forward in advance, )

(so her punching distance is shortened.)

(A missed parry)

(A missed straight)

You should parry right here. Tap.

You should do it right in front of your face.

- Try it. - Yes.

- Push, punch. Good. - That's it. Lightly.

- Punch right away. Good. - Punch.

(Her pose changes depending on the position of her hand.)

(Before correction)

(After correction)

- Tap, tap. That's it. Good. - Tap, tap.

- That's the rhythm. - Okay.

It's easier than you think.

- You're good. - You were thinking too much. Good.

Next. First, parry and one-two.

- I'll be fast. Watch out. - Okay.

Jab. One, two.

(Parry, one, two)

You're not rotating your waist at all.

- Okay. - All right.

- Jab. One, two. - Push. Punch, punch.

And rotate your waist properly.

When you perform these movements quickly,

- your stance shouldn't collapse. - Okay.

That's why we've been working so hard up until now.

- No boxing, no life. - Okay. I get it.

(She tries again focusing on the waist rotation.)

That's it. Do it like that.

(Before correction)

(Insufficient waist rotation)

(After correction)

(Proper waist rotation)

Push. Punch, punch.

Good. You rotated your waist well.

- Push. Punch, punch. - Good. To the center.

No boxing, no life!

Hey! No boxing, no life!

- You are different from last week. - Good.

- You changed after getting hit. - Good.

- You have good control. - Good.

Here I come.

Her punch is stronger than I expected.

Tell her to throw away the T-shirt.

- In that shirt, she's... - Good.

Her punch is stronger than I thought.

- Next. - Boxing is my life.

Everyone is doing well.

You all seem to know the rhythm.

Sae Rok.

- Jab. One, two. - Punch, punch. Good.

(Parry, one, two)

- Good. - That was nice.

- Rocky! - Wait.

Listen, Sae Rok.

Both punches of the one-two have to be strong.

Which one is the highlight of one-two?

- Two. - That's it.

- The jab was like a straight. - You're doing well.

I mean, the power.

It's strong, but it needs to be lighter.

And focus on your hand behind.

Otherwise, you will miss both punches.

(Parry, one, two)

That's it.

Punch, punch. That's it.

It must hurt.

Push, punch.

Push, punch. That's right.

(Rocky Keum got the hang of it.)

- That's it. - Good, Sae Rocky.

Push, punch. That's it. One more time.

(Perfect footwork, perfect waist rotation)

- Good job. - She's not scared.

Now, attack. Parry and punch.

- Slightly. Nice. - There you go.

- Punch, punch. Good. - Like this.

- Good, Sae Rocky. - Push, punch. Good.

(She breaks down the opponent's guard and attacks.)

- Good. Do it faster now. - That was really nice.

Go quickly. Good.

Good. Push, punch.

- Push, punch. - Good. She's like a robot.

(Her stance doesn't collapse even at high speed.)

- Good. Well done. - Nice.

Last. Good.

- Punch. Good. - She's improved a lot.

Nice, Sae Rocky.

- You're really good. - You've become a lot faster.

- You've improved a lot. - Good job.

How are all your punches so strong?

I'm not joking. All your punches are strong.

- Push. Punch, punch. - That's it.

(The punching sound is different from the start.)

That's the rhythm. Good.

- My gosh. - Good.

- Oh, dear. - That's it.

- My gosh. - Yes.

(Chuckling)

- Good. - Can I ask you a question?

Captain Kim, is it okay to do this?

- But, seriously... - He was like this.

- Captain, your body is really... - It's threatening.

(Stepping back the 1st time)

(Stepping back the 2nd time)

(Stepping back the 3rd time)

(Her power makes even Captain Kim, the fighter, step back.)

You know, I've done this a lot.

Her posture is really good.

She punches with her body weight.

Now, parry and punch.

- Push, punch. - With no footwork.

- Good. - Okay.

(Standing still with no footwork)

Good.

(Precise impact with the waist rotation)

(Parry, two)

(The punching sound is as loud as a cannon.)

- Last. - Push, punch. Okay. Good.

Great job.

- You're really good. - Well done.

Here are the three movements you just learned.

How you break the rhythm of your opponent coming at you.

- Break the rhythm. - Yes.

Then you respond.

- Response. - Respond right away and punch.

These are the attacks you can use in a real match.

Let's begin the second training session for a real match.

- I love it. - Yes.

(The next training session for a real match)

This is the second training session.

It's the shoulder hits.

This is the training that boxers do a lot.

Two people face each other and hit each other's shoulders.

(Shoulder hits: You train to hit your opponent's shoulders, )

(not their face or stomach.)

You don't know when or how your opponent will attack,

so you also need to dodge the punches well.

(Dodging is as important as attacking.)

You will hit each other's shoulders...

like this.

You can move your leg like this.

- And you can move your body. - Your back leg?

- Yes. You can move like this. - But not the front leg?

You don't move the front leg.

It's to see how well you can avoid being hit...

and touch your opponent within striking range.

It's too assess your movements.

To train your reflexes and eyes.

"To train my reflexes and eyes."

You will do it in pairs.

- Coach, you should count... - Yes.

The number of shoulder hits.

Okay. I'll do that.

You should train your eyes...

- and time your attack. - Let's go.

(Shoulder hits training)

(1 round: 1 minute and 30 seconds)

(Tournament games)

The first match is between Ju Hyun and Uie.

Let's do that.

Good luck.

Let's not hit each other's faces.

It's hitting the shoulders.

Ready. Start.

(The match begins.)

Let's not hit each other's faces.

It's hitting the shoulders.

Ready. Start.

(The match begins.)

(Stretching)

(Stretching)

(She attacks first using her long reach.)

It didn't touch the shoulder.

I blocked all your attacks.

(Ju Hyun, 1 point)

(Ju Hyun's surprise attack)

It didn't touch.

(Ju Hyun closes the distance instantly.)

Ju Hyun is aggressive.

(Ju Hyun, the in-fighter, fights in close-quarters.)

(She closes in, strikes quickly, )

(and then steps back right away.)

(She attacks with her eyes wide open.)

- Good. - You both got one point each.

You each got hit once.

(I can't lose like this.)

Okay.

(Increasing the movements not to give the opponent a chance)

- Try a feint. - No.

- That was... - Parry.

Good. That was nice.

- Good. - Ju Hyun got hit.

(Moving quickly, flinching)

Okay. Ju Hyun got hit.

- My gosh. - That was a good one.

That's it. Ju Hyun got hit again.

- No, that was my arm. - Good.

That's it.

(Ju Hyun closes in to counterattack.)

(She leans back to dodge.)

(Her punch doesn't reach her shoulder because of the distance.)

(Uie, 1 point)

(She uses her momentum to attack with a long reach.)

Look at her long arms. My gosh.

(She scores points slowly.)

(They both make their last spurts.)

(The match ends.)

- The winner is... - The winner is...

Who is the winner to advance to the final?

It was like a free fight at the last minute.

- Gosh, that was... - I couldn't count it.

(The first match was fierce.)

(Uie with her long reach?)

(In-fighter Ju Hyun?)

The winner...

Uie wins by two points.

(The final score: Uie 16, Ju Hyun, 14)

This is unbelievable.

(Uie advances to the final.)

(Shoulder hits training)

(The second match continues.)

(Sae Rok, In Ah)

All right. Ready.

Ready, start.

I really don't know who will win.

(The two people carefully wait for an opportunity.)

Watch your face.

(Punching)

(A sudden parry)

(The skills she learned today are put into practice right away.)

(In Ah, 1 point)

(After defending the punches, she attacks right away.)

She's good.

(Sae Rok is struggling from the beginning.)

(In Ah scores easily.)

(In Ah, 1 point)

(In Ah, 1 point)

She's too strong.

(Right at the moment)

(Sae Rok counters with powerful punches.)

(Striking a deep blow using her long arm)

- Sae Rok is not slow. - Right.

I thought she was slow, but she's actually fast.

(Sae Rok, 1 point)

(She controls the distance by striking and leaning back.)

(Sae Rok, 1 point, defence)

She's good.

(She strikes 2 punches quickly with her long arms...)

(and then 1 defence.)

(In Ah, 1 point)

That's it.

- My gosh. - Defend.

(Getting competitive)

Only the shoulders.

Don't fight for real.

(They both can't hear anything.)

- Don't fight for real. - Don't hit the face.

This is crazy.

(In Ah, 1 point, Sae Rok, 1 point)

(Overheating)

Gosh, Uie.

(Frightened)

Watch your face.

(Hitting her in the face)

- Oh, no. - Watch your face.

My gosh. Look at that.

- You have to stop them! - Stop.

(Time-out)

- Stop. - You have to stop them.

Hang on. Wait.

It's like a lion versus a lion.

- You should never hit the face. - Don't hit the face.

Don't punch the face.

(Strong In Ah with speed, Determined Sae Rok with long arms)

(The current score is 11 to 13.)

- Start. - Start.

- Start. - You've got 30 seconds left.

(The match resumes.)

(Sae Rok, 1 point, In Ah, 1 point)

(A showdown where neither side gives an inch)

(A fierce battle)

- They're good. - Goodness...

(Just watching it is painful.)

I don't want to do this.

(The finalist is terrified.)

Uie, we should do it again.

I know. I don't want to do it with them.

Look how strong they are.

- Good. - They're so competitive.

(Sae Rok keeps scoring until the very end.)

She's really fast.

In Ah is really...

(The match ends.)

The coach will announce the winner.

The winner is...

(Strong In Ah with powerful punches?)

(Rocky Keum with long arms?)

Please announce the winner.

(It was a close match.)

- Five... - Okay. Sae Rok wins.

(The final score: In Ah 17, Sae Rok 25)

(Sae Rok advances to the final.)

(Shoulder hits training)

(The final, Uie versus Sae Rok)

- The final will be 30 seconds. - Okay.

- Okay. - Thirty seconds.

- It's just 30 seconds. Good, right? - Yes.

Sae Rok should enter a competition.

- Ready. - She's really...

(Infinite stamina, invincible Uie)

- They both have long arms. - A kangaroo fight.

They both are scary.

Start.

(The match begins.)

It's 30 seconds.

(After light touches)

(Uie attempts the first attack.)

(Attacking first)

(Defending)

(Sae Rok attacks with a hook.)

She blocked it.

(Since the two have similar builds, )

(they have no room for attack.)

(Then...)

(Sae Rok, 1 point)

(Fighting on the inside with a straight)

(Keeping up the momentum)

(Touching the shoulder once with a hook)

(Sae Rok, 1 point)

(Touching the inside shoulder again with a jab)

(Rocky Keum tries out various techniques.)

(Uie, 1 point)

(But Uie isn't easy to defeat.)

(Uie, 1 point, Sae Rok, 1 point)

They are so competitive.

(Incredible focus and determination)

(Similar reach)

(Uie, 1 point)

(The one who moves faster wins.)

(Sae Rok, 1 point)

They both got hit once.

- Okay. - I could deal with that much.

I got hit by Uie more.

Uie got hit more.

All right.

They both had good techniques.

(Shoulder hits)

(Who is the winner?)

They both had good techniques.

But Sae Rok hit more.

(The final score: Uie 6, Sae Rok 9)

(Keum Sae Rok wins the shoulder hits.)

(I can't believe I'm 1st place.)

Okay.

The match between the two was fun.

Coach, bring it on.

With the coach?

(The shoulder hits match against the coach?)

- With the coach. - I want to do it with the coach.

- With the coach? - Coach...

The winner versus the coach.

The winner versus the coach.

(I'm going against the coach?)

- Do it for 30 seconds. - Give it a try.

- With the coach? - Okay.

- Okay. With the coach. - Let's go.

I'm tired now. My arms hurt.

- You should use only one arm. - Only one arm.

- One arm? Okay. I'll do that. - Should we do a full minute?

I'll choose the left arm with no hesitation.

Go, Keum Sae Rok!

(The shoulder hits special match)

(The 2nd-month boxer, Rocky Keum)

(The former national boxer)

- Sae Rok, one minute. - Ready.

- Stay calm. - Start.

(The match begins.)

- My gosh. - Good! That's so long.

You're the best, Sae Rok!

- Punch him in the face! - This is crazy.

- Punch him in the face! - Hit his face!

(Punch him in the face!)

(Punch him in the face!)

- Punch him in the face! - This is crazy.

(Very flustered)

- Sae Rok! - It's okay. Hit him in the face!

- You're doing well! - It's okay to hit him in the face.

She keeps throwing punches.

Just hit anything.

She keeps throwing punches.

(Defence)

Her punches... Gosh, Sae Rok is good.

- That was good. - Nice.

- Sae Rok, you're the best. - Good.

Coach, you're not supposed to move your foot.

- She's good. - He got hit a lot.

Coach!

The coach is trying his best.

(He's 200 percent serious.)

- Go! - Ten seconds.

Don't take it easy. Coach can't use one hand.

(With a bright face, she keeps throwing punches.)

Sae Rok is pretty good.

- Look at that. She's good. - Keep punching him.

That's it! You're doing well, Sae Rok!

She's really good.

(A desperate struggle)

Hit him everywhere.

- Sae Rok, keep going. - You did well.

- Good play. - I'll announce the result.

- Sae Rok, you're good. - Okay.

- I'll announce the winner. - My gosh.

I counted it.

- I got an accurate count. - Okay.

Sae Rok wins.

(Sae Rok wins.)

- I'm serious. - Sae Rok is good.

- She's no joke. - She landed good punches.

You are really good.

(Rediscovery of Rocky Keum)

I was really surprised. I thought she'd be slow...

- and get hit everywhere. - She's so fast.

- But she dodged well. - She doesn't want to lose.

- Right. - She's so scary.

When I get hit, I get competitive.

- Seriously. - Too competitive.

I think Sae Rok will do something.

Yes. She was serious when she got ready like this.

- You know, - It's not fake.

- she has a dogged spirit. - She was so cool.

Considering the time you have been training,

- you all did a great job. - Right.

- You have potential. - Yes!

- Great job, today. - Good job.

Let's take a break before moving on to the next session.

Hang on. I'll put some sports spray on you.

- Please. - Please.

Which part?

- I want it here. - Here and here.

I think I should take a shower with it.

Really?

- First, spray it on my shoulder. - Okay.

By the way...

- Here, please. - You can spray it anywhere.

Rub it a little with your hand.

- Rub it? - Yes.

I also spray it and rub it like this.

You massage the sprayed area.

I feel refreshed right away.

(Reaching out)

Coach, try it.

Yes. I got hit by Sae Rok a lot.

- My gosh. - Our ace.

Rub it with your hand.

Now that you're recovered, we will move on to the next session.

Okay.

You know there are many learning stages.

- Yes. - When you've learned this much,

you should try sparring.

What exactly is sparring?

Sparring is just like a real match.

But it's not a real match.

- An actual match. - It's still a match.

Yes. An actual match. That's sparring.

- So, today... - What?

You'll try sparring.

- All of a sudden? - Sparring?

Now? Are we sparring now?

But we don't have anything.

Are we wearing only the gloves?

When you spar,

- you wear gloves... - Yes.

- and boxing shoes. - Shoes.

- Yes. - And when you have a match,

- you need headgear. - Headgear!

There are several types of headgear.

Open-face, cheek protector, and bar face.

There are three types.

The advantage of the open-face headgear is...

that it doesn't impair your vision.

With an unimpaired vision,

it is easier to duck or weave.

But when you are punched in the face,

your face is barely protected.

And this is the cheek protector headgear.

It protects your cheeks and jaw.

But it doesn't protect your nose.

It provides relatively less nose protection.

I see.

Meanwhile, bar face headgear has a bar across the nose...

that offers nose protection.

So it minimizes the risk of injury.

But it can obscure your vision,

so you may find it difficult to move around.

You will be wearing this headgear.

You will try sparring in it,

- and you can choose the type... - Yes.

- that's right for you later. - Okay.

Just try using it and decide later.

And the most important thing...

is to protect your teeth and the skin around your mouth.

- So you must wear a mouthpiece. - Finally?

- I see. - We will make mouthpieces first...

- before we start. - Can we get it done right away?

It can be made right away.

That sounds good.

Are we doing it right away?

- That's cute. - They have our faces on them.

(The mouthpiece for Iron Girls)

Here's the mouthpiece.

You will shape your mouthpiece now.

Put this in hot water.

(Making your own mouthpiece)

(1. Put the mouthpiece in hot water.)

(2. Take it out after an appropriate amount of time.)

It's done. This is how it should look.

It must be really hot at first. You should cool it down a little.

It should look like this.

- Blow. - Blow on it a little.

It's good now.

Now press it with your tongue in your mouth...

and press it with your hands here.

Just bite it once and stop.

Right. Imagine that you're eating a sweet potato.

Okay. Do it.

- It's hot. - It's too hot.

- It should be hot. - It's really hot.

If you don't do it now, you can't shape it.

- It's hot. - Bite it hard. Bite it.

Do I have to put up with it?

You have to endure it.

- You should bite it just once. - Okay.

- At once. - All right.

- You shouldn't move. - Stay still.

- Stay like that. - Clench your teeth.

She says it's hot.

- How would I do that? - Clench your teeth.

- Press it here. - Yes.

- So your lips won't stick out. - He's right.

Press the front.

- Press it. - How do you do that when it's hot?

Is it supposed to be hot?

- But you have to do it this way. - We will show you.

Okay.

Watch how Coach does it.

- This... - When it's ready...

- Watch. - Watch.

- Isn't it too soon? - It's hot.

(Spitting it out)

Coach.

Coach.

Hey.

You have to endure it.

- Coach. - Hang on.

- What's wrong? - I'll do it again.

- I'll do it again. - Gosh, Coach.

(Trying to cool it down)

Gosh.

He told you to let it cool a bit. Why didn't you listen?

I endured the heat, though.

(I feel wronged.)

- He's tearing up. - It's too much.

Are you okay?

He's actually tearing up.

- He's crying. - Coach.

Coach!

(Kim Ji Hoon's lesson of the day: Too much heat can cause tears.)

You told us to endure it.

If it doesn't feel hot anymore, you can take it out.

- Can I take it out now? - Yes, you can.

- And put it in here. - It worked.

It turned out good.

All right. It looks good.

This is nice. We can use this.

Ju Hyun did a good job.

(The mouthpiece is complete once it hardens in cold water.)

Bite down. Press the front part.

Press the front part.

The middle part should be at the center. That's it.

- Do you feel that? - Bite down. Press the front part.

- That's good. - Nice.

- This is it, right? - Yes, that's it.

You look cute.

- I look funny, don't I? - You look cute.

You have such a small face.

Yes, you have such a small face.

We're going to use them today,

but you can keep them.

Right.

Now that you have your mouthpieces,

are you ready to spar?

- Are we sparring with each other? - This is my first time.

I'm scared.

- Who are we sparring? - What?

Maybe it's Captain Kim.

We have a special guest today.

Really?

- Who could it be? - Yes.

Come on out, please.

I'm scared.

I don't want to do this.

(Looking around)

Who is it?

Who is it?

(Everyone's in meerkat mode.)

(Dressed in a red uniform...)

(and carrying a big bag)

- Hello. - Hello.

(A man approaches the Iron Girls.)

(Who are you?)

(Their sparring partner for the day makes a shy entrance.)

He's a baby.

- He's adorable. - You can come here.

Come over here, please. Hello.

He's a little kid.

(Is he really our sparring partner?)

Please introduce yourself.

Hello, my name is Kwon Sung Min, and I'm a third-year student...

at Seoul Physical Education Middle School.

He's adorable.

- He's so adorable. - So adorable.

- Amazing. - Gosh, no.

(Meanwhile, Uie is seriously concerned.)

Guys, he's a student at a Physical Education Middle School.

He goes to Seoul Physical Education Middle School.

Hold on.

Not everyone can get into Seoul Physical Education Middle School.

She's right.

You pretty much always come in first or second at nationals, right?

- Yes. - Gosh.

- Yes. - Gosh.

He's a real athlete.

Could you share your achievements?

Recently, I won first place in the under-50kg division...

at the Korea Boxing Association President’s Cup...

National Amateur Boxing Championships.

- What? - Exactly.

The Korea Boxing Association President’s Cup...

is a tournament comparable to the National Sports Festival.

- Really? - Yes.

See? Guys...

He's not an adorable opponent.

(Agile moves that penetrate his opponent's defense)

(Strong punches that disorient his opponent)

(His powerful punches stand out even in tournaments.)

Yes, it is true.

(Boys Middle School Division Under-50kg, 2025, 1st place)

(Under 15 years old, flyweight, 2025, 3rd place)

(Boys Middle School Division, Under-48 kg, 2024, 2nd place)

(The Won Promotion Cup Amateur Boxing Tournament, 2023, Champion)

(Kwon Sung Min has dominated various boxing tournaments.)

You won first place? That's cool.

That's amazing.

How did you get into boxing?

- At first, it was curiosity. - How old were you?

When I was a first-year student in middle school.

So it hasn't even been two years?

Gosh, but you've claimed all these titles?

That means all of the boxers around his age...

know about him.

- That's amazing. - I want to see him boxing.

Can you show us some moves?

Perhaps the one-two or basic shadowboxing drills.

(Incredible speed)

(Jaws dropped)

He's...

His moves are definitely different.

- He's an amazing boxer. - That was so cool.

- Is boxing fun for you? - Is boxing fun for you?

It is.

I have fun both taking and throwing punches.

We're quite similar.

Amazing.

This doesn't make any sense. How are we supposed to spar with him?

- They have been training for... - I'm so scared I got chills.

There's no need for you to worry.

This will be your first time taking hits...

and throwing punches.

When you're training like that,

a supervised sparring session with an advanced boxer...

- will help you improve your skills. - He's right.

- "Supervised sparring." - "Supervised sparring."

To help you put the techniques into use,

the proficient boxer will lead...

and assist you.

Sparring and getting hit by a boxer who can control his intensity...

is beneficial for training.

- Yes, sir. - All right.

Try to use as many techniques as you can...

from everything you've learned so far,

including parrying.

Goodness, I'm nervous.

(This is their chance to use everything they've learned so far.)

You probably don't have a lot of supervised sparring experience.

I have done it a lot.

- You've done it a lot? - You've done it a lot?

He's conducted supervised sparring...

- for his junior boxers... - That's great.

Who are in their first and second years of middle school.

You're lucky to have such an excellent sparring partner.

We have the star of Seoul Physical Education Middle School here.

He's amazing.

- Thank you for being here. - He'll be your supervised...

Sung Min, think of your role today as sparring with boxers...

who just graduated from elementary school.

- It's only been a month for them. - Just a month.

Please be gentle with us.

- This is our first time. - Please take it easy on us.

- Please take it easy on us. - They can hit you hard, right?

- Yes. - This is our first time.

Go lightly on them.

Just gentle taps.

Let's decide the order for sparring.

We'll start with whoever seems the weakest to you...

and work our way up to the strongest.

- I don't want to meet his eyes. - Who seems the weakest?

Let's turn around.

Let's turn around and let him choose us.

Sung Min, you can just push us.

Why am I so nervous about this?

This is my first time doing anything like this.

Me too.

This is my first time being chosen.

I feel nervous about getting chosen.

I'm nervous.

The person who seems weak to Sung Min.

(It's finally time for the selection.)

(Who seems the weakest from the boxer's perspective?)

(Stunned)

(The 1st one to spar is Stamina Queen Uie.)

Really?

She's really good.

- Now for the second... - Weakest.

(I'm really strong.)

(The 2nd one to spar is Gwang Bok Ju Hyun.)

(Thanks, Sung Min.)

Are you choosing us in order of prettiness?

What? No.

- In order of prettiness, right? - Excuse me? Yes.

- Right? - Yes.

(Mild-mannered)

We only have the two strongest left.

My heart is pounding.

I'm a lion.

(I'm Simba Seol.)

(I see. Okay.)

Please make your choice.

(The second one to spar is Rocky Geum.)

I'm going to be king.

All right.

(The sparring lineup for today)

We’ll have 2 rounds of 1 minute and 30 seconds each.

This is according to the rules of the community sports competition.

(A sport where hitting and being hit are part of the game)

(Boxing)

(Only by taking real hits...)

(can you learn how to hit correctly.)

(The goal of today's supervised sparring: Get hit well!)

(Will the Iron Girls make it through their first supervised sparring?)

We should...

take this more seriously than we would among ourselves.

With the mindset that...

- we're going to try everything. - Right. Seriously.

- That's it. - Everything we've learned...

Let's try it all.

With the objective of using them in actual fights.

- Right? - That's exactly it.

Uie, you'll begin sparring.

- Okay. - Gosh, Uie.

- Boxer Uie. - Gosh.

- Uie's first-ever sparring. - Boxer Uie.

This really is my first ever sparring.

(First, she puts on her mouthpiece.)

(Exhale)

(The thought of having to get into the ring soon...)

(has her automatically sighing.)

How did you say we should use this, In Ah?

Wait. I feel like I'm going to throw up.

I'm way too nervous.

- Really? - Where? Here?

- Come over here. - Really?

(Nodding)

(Actually, Uie...)

(During the pre-production meeting)

(For Uie, boxing felt unfamiliar...)

(and very scary.)

(Even the rehearsed moves...)

(were overshadowed by fear in the past month.)

(Now, her first sparring session...)

(is just around the corner.)

Just a second, Coach.

- I really feel nauseous. - You feel nauseous?

You have to face these situations. It's okay.

In any case...

(Uie tries to steady her breathing.)

(While steadying her breathing, she puts on her mouthpiece...)

(and a headgear.)

Okay. Perfect.

How does it feel having a headgear on for the first time?

- I feel ugly. - It hurts.

Her eyes are smushed.

Is that the right fit?

Is her face supposed to...

(She seems upset.)

Sung Min doesn't look like that.

- He's adorable. - He looks so cute.

- His looks different from ours. - Yes.

Wait, if he's wearing the open-face headgear,

where do we hit?

You hit his face.

Right.

There are open-face headgears like that.

Headgears obstruct boxers' view,

so advanced boxers choose open-face ones.

How can we hit someone with such a baby face?

(He has such a young face that they feel bad about hitting him.)

With this on, it's hard for me to breathe,

so I feel really nauseous.

- It's like that for some people. - Really?

Then I might not be able to breathe at all.

That's insane.

In boxing, you take punches, throw punches,

and it's a sport that is both emotionally...

and physically draining.

- But you need this experience. - Yes.

- He's right. - As of right now,

the competition is a month and a half away and it's the real deal.

That's why I think today is an important experience.

You're right.

(Exhaling)

Just do your best and leave the ring. Okay?

- Do my best. - Yes.

I'm going in.

Kim Uie, you got this!

(Uie is ready.)

(She's the first to step into the ring.)

(Exhaling)

(In a swift motion, Sung Min gets into the ring.)

- He's so fast. - Kim Uie, you got this!

I'm nervous for her. Goodness.

This is insane.

(She calmly steadies her breath.)

Okay. Ready?

- Yes. - Yes.

All right. Keep your manners.

Don't hit low or swear.

- Touch gloves. - Good luck.

Go back to your places.

Good luck.

(Uie's first-ever sparring)

- Let's go, Uie! - Let's go!

The first round.

Let's go, Uie!

- Start. - Let's go!

(Round 1 begins.)

(As soon as the bell rings, )

(Sung Min advances quickly.)

(Gosh!)

This is to take control.

(They start with light jabs.)

(They watch for the right moment to attack.)

That's it.

(Uie throws bold one-two punches.)

(Jab, jab)

- That's it. - Gosh.

(Uie timidly tries to make continuous blows.)

(But then...)

(He blocked it.)

(Another jab)

That's it.

Good.

(One)

(Two)

(One)

(Two)

(Back)

(One)

(She was able to make a light hit.)

- Good. - Gosh.

- She did well. - Yes.

(Jab, jab, one, two, continuously)

Good. Yes.

That's it.

(Consecutive strikes)

That's it.

(Uie tries putting the skills that she learned to use.)

(High)

(Low)

(But...)

That's it.

(Blocking 2 times)

(Blocking 3 times)

That's it.

(Sung Min blocks off all the attacks.)

- Gosh. - Good.

Did you see how he just dodged that?

He's fast.

(He quickly dodges the attacks...)

(and hits her face.)

- She got a blow. - You got this.

(He quickly dodges the attacks, and hits her face.)

(Jab)

(The punch came for her face.)

She got a blow.

Go back in.

(Startled)

Use what you learned. It's okay.

What was the parry?

Walk and approach him.

(She uses what she learned. Walk and hit!)

Good. That's it.

Go in with the blows.

That's it. Again.

(She watched for the right timing.)

(A bold one, two!)

That's it. It's good how you threw them.

(But)

(Sung Min's duckings are agile.)

He really dodges them well.

When you punch, you need it to do it strongly.

Good. At his waist.

(She hit him at the waist, but he struck back right away.)

(She boldly went for the body, )

(but got hit in the face since she had no guard.)

That's it.

(Sung Min's blows continue.)

That's it.

(Sung Min's blows continue.)

That's it.

(Swaying)

(Panting)

Her nose is red.

(Her nose became red.)

(Her steps falter as her power drains away.)

Move forward with straight blows.

(Her straight jabs are slowly losing angle.)

Don't focus on pushing them away. Focus on hitting.

(Time left)

- Ten seconds. - Ten seconds left.

(She keeps the opponent in check.)

- Good luck, Uie. - Good luck, Uie.

- Okay. To the corner. - Good.

- You did well. - You did well.

- Control your breathing. - Breathe.

Breathe.

(Uie gasps for breath.)

(Sung Min also catches his breath.)

- Gosh. - Breathe.

You did well, but...

remember to use the high-low combination.

(The 40 seconds flew by with just the breathing.)

Let's begin Round Two.

(Round 2 begins.)

(Sung Min quickly starts off to take control.)

Good luck, Uie.

He's approaching to take control.

Go with the high-low combination.

That's it. Good. Yes.

(Unlike the 1st round, Sung Min pushes forward.)

(Blocking 1 time)

(Blocking 2 times)

(Attacking 1 time)

(She has no guard.)

(A valid strike)

Your guard.

Keep your guard up.

(She still has no guard.)

- Your hands. - That's it.

(She got a proper hit in the face.)

Oh, gosh.

(Gosh, her jaw!)

She got hit in the jaw.

(And after that...)

Look at him.

(Vicious attacks)

(He makes a series of hits.)

What was that just now?

(Hitting)

(Hitting)

(It's not like Round 1 at all.)

(Gosh!)

(He avoids Uie's jab.)

In and out.

(Parry and jab!)

(Feint, and then...)

(Straight)

- Gosh. - That's it.

Sung Min...

(Please be gentle on Uie, Sung Min.)

He's so good.

Thirty seconds.

You can do it, Uie. You have the strength.

Her movements look way too slow.

Go forward. In and out.

(Her breath is rougher, and her movements are slower.)

(With an opponent who isn't getting tired, )

(all she can do is endure.)

(He won't stop the mind-draining attacks.)

(And even a body counter.)

(What?)

Let's go, Uie!

- Let's go, Uie! - Let's go, Uie!

(With the members cheering on her, )

(Uie uses her last bit of strength.)

That's it.

- Make use of your long reach. - Ten seconds.

Nine seconds. Great. Keep going.

She can keep going.

- That's it. Keep looking at him. - Nice.

Keep looking even if you get hit.

(She doesn't give up even if she gets hit.)

- Keep going. - Let's go, Uie.

Keep your guard up.

I think I'm going to cry.

That was a good throw. You have to keep punching.

- Good. Make use of your reach. - Good.

- She's crying. - That's it. Keep going.

- I can't watch. - Keep going.

She's pushing through.

Let's cheer her on.

(While Ju Hyun is holding back tears...)

Stop. Good job.

Good job.

(She gasps heavily for breath.)

Good job.

Yes.

Good job. You did so well.

(She finished her first sparring, which she had feared.)

- Good job. - Come here.

Thank you so much.

- Thank you. - Thank you so much.

(She gives her thanks to her opponent.)

(She got through her first sparring match!)

Uie. How was it?

- That was a minute and 30 seconds. - It's completely different.

In what way?

The minute and 30 seconds that we had been doing...

We even practiced for three minutes.

It was different. With the headgear...

and mouthpiece on, the minute and 30 seconds...

After 30 seconds, my eyes started losing focus...

- Oh, no. - because I was tired.

- Really? - And your legs give in, too.

Yes.

If it's like that for her, then...

But I think that during the first round,

- he was only learning about me. - Yes.

- "Let's see how she does." - I see.

(He was taking in Uie's attacks during Round 1.)

His eyes changed at the next round.

(Merciless flurry of attacks)

It was like...

He was all over like this.

(That much?)

He moved like this.

And I know what I learned,

and I tried to use them,

- He was gone, right? - but he was already gone.

Yes, he was blocking them all, so what could she do?

- And it's so hard to hit the face. - Yes. Right?

Do you remember how you asked if you could really hit him?

Yes.

(Wait! How can I hit someone who has no guard?)

(They didn't know their future...)

(and was worried for no reason.)

- He won't get hit, guys. - He won't get hit.

- He won't get hit. - Hit him as much as you want.

You're so cool.

He was doing all the footwork...

that I kept telling you about.

- Did you see it? - Yes.

Do you see why I said it?

- It's amazing. - He's so cool.

(During both rounds, )

(his movements did not stop.)

Can you stay put in one place?

- No. - No, right?

You're the best.

He blocked everything, so she couldn't do anything.

- Right? - Yes.

His footwork is amazing.

Seriously.

You're so cool.

First of all, when we had the relay of attacks,

she didn't avoid my punches, and kept watching me...

to keep fighting, and I think that was good.

Did I do that?

During the last part, you kept going for it.

(When they had 10 seconds left during Round 2)

(she didn't avoid him and fought against him.)

I think she lacks a bit...

in her movements and footwork.

- You're exactly right. - Yes.

You need to punch quickly,

but you keep going around and attack hesitantly.

There were a few of those moments.

You need to be bold with them.

Once you are confident with your one-two,

you can be bold with your strikes.

After this,

I can see that I need to work on my one-two.

And this one. I need to do the one we learned.

And I need to control my breathing well.

- My vision got dim in an instant. - Right?

But considering that it's your first sparring session,

- you had many attacks, - Yes, she was bold.

- so that was great. - You were cool.

And Sung Min is very experienced,

so he only taps us lightly.

He won't hit you hard, ever.

- Didn't it hurt? - No. I was fine.

- Why are you crying? - I couldn't watch.

Seeing it in person, I really couldn't watch.

My heart felt heavy.

Really?

- Oh, no. - What's wrong with you?

What is it?

I think it will be okay when I do it,

- but watching her was... - She is being real.

Since she was getting hit?

And when we did the triathlon,

she had a hard time, and we overcame a lot of things.

But watching her fight all alone...

was so...

Did I get hit a lot?

I thought...

I didn't think I got hit a lot.

(Uie's 1st sparring session results:)

(Strengths: She tried to apply the skills she learned...)

(and showed an attitude of refusing to give up, )

(backed by her endless stamina.)

(Weaknesses: Her weak footwork...)

(and slow movements need to be improved!)

I feel much better now that it's over.

- You were so cool, though. - I really feel much better.

It's like after jumping off the bungee platform...

after standing there for so long.

It's my turn next.

I don't think I can ever let my family box.

But today's match will be the weakest ever.

- I know. - You need to...

- That's true. - toughen up mentally.

We'll be hitting and getting hit by our colleagues.

- You need to brace yourselves. - Okay.

I don't think I can do this.

It's okay. You can do it.

You're good.

- I know you can do it. - You just have to do it.

- Just as you've done. - You're good.

It's not that I'm scared.

- Ju Hyun, he can avoid everything. - I can't watch him.

He's strong. He's really strong.

I think Ju Hyun needs more sparring than others.

(Ju Hyun needs more sparring to strengthen her mind.)

Good luck.

(Sung Min is ready.)

- Okay. Let's go. - Okay.

You can do it.

(She overcomes her fear and enters the ring.)

Park Ju Hyun, brace yourself.

Don't be emotional.

- Be cold. - Let's go!

Be cool.

Round One.

(The woman who's good at real games...)

(will show you.)

- Go. - You can do it.

(Round 1 begins.)

Be cool.

Round One.

(The woman who's good at real games...)

(will show you.)

- Go. - You can do it.

(Round 1 begins.)

(The two suddenly flare up.)

Yes.

(Sung Min attacks first.)

(Hook)

(Hitting the face)

Keep moving with your footwork. Don't just rush in.

Ju Hyun, you can go stronger.

(Her wild side is on.)

(Ju Hyun gets so close...)

(that it's scary.)

(Dashing in)

Keep moving with your footwork. Don't just rush in.

(Sung Min, 1 valid strike)

(Guarding)

(Attacking)

(However)

(Gwang Bok won't let go once she bites.)

(One, two)

(She dashes without running away.)

There she goes.

(Punching)

(Attacking 1 time)

(Attacking 2 times)

(Ju Hyun keeps throwing punches without falling back.)

(Attacking the body)

(Counterattack right away)

(Groaning)

Guard up.

(Surprised)

- Keep your guard up. - She keeps barging in.

- She keeps going forward, right? - Yes.

(Burning with madness)

- Keep looking. - Punch hard.

- Harder. - Keep punching.

- Duck. - Go stronger!

(She pushes her head forward and dashes like a bull.)

(Sung Min who was looking...)

(looks for his chance and attacks.)

- It's not easy to hit the face. - That's it.

(He turns even before you know it.)

(A punch in the face)

(Getting faint)

(Sung Min read Ju Hyun's pattern.)

(He waits for the timing.)

- Keep it up. - Bend down.

(He steals Ju Hyun's chance to attack...)

(and attacks quickly.)

(Panting)

(After getting attacked, she immediately becomes drained.)

(Remaining time)

- Ten seconds. - Ten seconds.

(Bowing, panting)

Keep going straight. Don't stop punching.

- Look at him. Stop. - Stop.

(Round 1 ends.)

- That was really hard. - Okay. Good job.

- He's so fast. - What?

It ends so fast. That was a minute and 30 seconds.

He's so fast.

Him?

(I know how that feels.)

(Embarrassed)

- I can't keep up with him. - Right?

That's why someone fast is picky.

And you don't look at him. You have to look at him.

(Round 2 begins.)

You can do it.

- You can do it. - The last round.

Get closer. Keep punching. That's right.

(Her wild side is on.)

(She gets close and keeps throwing a series of punches.)

Keep your guard up and punch.

(She blocks...)

(and attacks.)

(Blocking)

(Blocking)

(A valid strike)

- You got it. - Keep your stance.

Keep going.

(But she soon runs out of breath.)

(Ju Hyun hesitates for a second.)

(Sung Min takes his chance to get closer.)

(Punching endlessly)

- Gosh. What's wrong with you? - Look at him!

(Gosh. What's wrong with you?)

(He avoids Ju Hyun's jab...)

(and hits her body.)

(Blocking)

(His series of attacks makes Ju Hyun go crazy.)

- Keep looking. - What's wrong with you?

(Her heavy body becomes a target.)

Do punch, punch. Try one-two!

(She throws one-two punches.)

It's do or die. There isn't much time left.

(Punching in the air)

(Because she bent down, she didn't see the opponent.)

(10 seconds left.)

- Ten seconds. - Ten seconds.

- Keep going. You got it. - Keep hitting him.

- You can do it. - Keep going.

- Gosh. - You can do it.

- Stop. - Good job.

This is so tiring.

This is so tiring.

Gosh, this is so tiring.

- Good job. - Gosh. How can he be so fast?

(Ju Hyun is exhausted after two rounds.)

(On the other hand, the young boxer is fine.)

You're good. You're amazing.

How are you so good at it?

- How can he not get one? - It's amazing.

Ju Hyun, what was it like to try?

It was your first sparring.

I couldn't do anything because I couldn't see.

Because he kept moving to the left and the right,

Ju Hyun threw punches when there was no one in front.

(While sparring)

Keep going.

(Ju Hyun punched the air many times.)

When I got exhausted later,

I couldn't retrieve my arm.

Because it felt so heavy,

I couldn't retrieve my arm quickly after punching.

I was like, "If I get punched here, I'll be dead."

Oh, my.

(Nervous)

Was I right? Did you see his face?

He seems faster when you're in the ring with him...

than when you're watching from outside.

Really?

Sung Min, how was it?

You were close to me and were doing good at first.

You kept getting close to me.

But when you lost balance, you hit me with your head first.

You lost balance.

I think I pushed you with my head a few times.

(She was nice and close at first.)

(But after she got drained in Round 2)

(Ju Hyun dropped her head and kept dashing.)

I couldn't see him anyway.

So I gave up on looking at him.

You can't do that.

- I couldn't see him at all. - That's too dangerous.

Even if you get punched, keep your eyes on him.

You have to watch where he goes.

The way I saw it was that you didn't strain your waist.

You were just tapping him with your fists.

- But... - Were you able to hit him hard?

- it took too long to get ready. - Because...

you were afraid of getting punched if you were to do this, right?

- Yes. - That's why.

That's what happens in the real game.

That's your punch.

That's what your punch is like right now.

(Ju Hyun's first sparring session results:)

(Strengths: She has a strong will to get close.)

(The mad boxer flusters the opponent.)

(Weaknesses: It is dangerous to swing the arms...)

(without looking forward.)

(She needs to practice punching with stamina...)

(without dropping her head.)

I think you guys are cool.

- I know. You're cool. - You're cool.

- It's cool. I know that. - You have to memorize the moves.

But after I got punched...

Your head gets pushed when you get hit.

It takes a while for me to get ready again.

- Right. - That's true.

- If he hit me twice in a row, - Right.

- I would've been knocked down. - You couldn't see him, right?

I couldn't see him at all.

This is really necessary...

- now that I see it. - You guys need to practice a lot.

He is so cool.

(The third player is Keum Sae Rok.)

Yes.

- Is it comfortable? Are you okay? - Yes.

Tighter. Yes.

Tighter. Thank you.

- Let's go. - Is it okay?

Yes.

The player comes in.

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

- Go, Keum Sae Rok. - Let's go.

Wake your beast instinct up.

- All right. Round One. - Let's go.

Be dogged.

- Go. - Let's go.

Good luck.

(Sung Min quickly gets close upon the start.)

Yes. Keep looking.

(Sae Rok watches him first while throwing light punches.)

Yes.

(A strong one-two)

(Throwing punches with her all)

Good. She's different.

(She puts her guard up immediately.)

(She slowly spins around the opponent.)

(Jab)

(Slowly. Jab, high, low)

Yes. Faster.

(Jab, high, low)

(One, two)

(Sung Min watches Sae Rok.)

(He attacks her body even before you know it.)

He's good.

(A fake upward punch)

(Then he attacks below.)

(Showing a real high-low combination)

(While everyone's surprised...)

Hit me.

(Sae Rok becomes more militant.)

Get in there.

Try another uppercut.

(She looks forward and throws a series of punches.)

- Keep it up. - You got it.

(She looks straight at the target...)

(and throws the one-two with her long arms.)

Good job. Corner him even more.

Good. Nice block.

- Try high and low. - Try high.

Don't try to hit hard. Keep punching.

(It consumes a lot of energy.)

Try to punch high.

(Sung Min doesn't miss that chance.)

(He pretends to enter slowly.)

(Then he quickly switches to attack.)

(I will show you what speed is.)

Sae Rocky.

Yes.

Try to punch more.

- Keep your eyes on him. - Your legs.

(Sae Rok moves big and slow.)

- He's so good at avoiding. - Try again. Yes.

Sae Rocky.

Don't just hit.

Yes. Ten seconds.

- Do everything you want! - Don't just hit.

(She keeps throwing punches.)

(At that moment)

(Sung Min punches at a crazy speed.)

- What was that just now? - What was that just now?

(As soon as Sae Rok stops punching, )

Let's go.

(he turns quickly.)

(Sae Rok was helpless to his series of punches.)

(Not only the one who got attacked...)

What was that just now?

(Shocked)

- What was that just now? - What was that just now?

She looked like Sha Wujing just now.

"Sha Wujing?"

(Calm)

He was here.

When I looked up, he was here.

If I were there, I would've been frightened.

(Shaking her head)

Good job. Keep breathing.

(Stunned)

Use all your energy this time. Okay?

(She'll use all her energy in Round 2.)

And try the parry.

- Ready. - Give it a try.

(Round 2 begins.)

(Striding)

He's taking control.

(Sung Min jabs without hesitation.)

You can do it.

(Blocking with a parry)

Yes.

(Jab)

(Parry)

(Jab, parry)

(She gets ready...)

(and throws a straight punch.)

Yes. Good job.

(They keep attacking and defending.)

(Then she attacks right in his face.)

(Shocked)

Yes. You got it.

She hit him.

(Sae Rok did it!)

(Without getting worked up...)

(One, two)

- Yes. Good job. - Very good.

That was nice.

(One)

(Two)

Yes. Good job.

- To the end. - I saw it too.

Nice.

(However)

Yes.

- Yes. - Where did he go?

To the end. Keep punching. Hook.

Straight. Keep punching.

(She swings her arms without a plan.)

(She ends up punching the air.)

What are you doing? Get your act up!

Turn around. Yes.

- What are you doing? - Keep looking.

Turn around. Keep looking.

Sae Rok, keep your eyes on him. Yes.

Good job, Sae Rok.

- Keep your eyes on him. - You're almost there.

(Faint)

Go, Sae Rok.

- Watch him. - Keep your eyes on him.

It's almost over.

You're losing. Hurry up.

- Don't give up. - Don't give up.

- Keep punching Sung Min. - Ten seconds.

- Ten seconds. - Keep punching.

- Keep trying. - Ten seconds.

- Ten seconds. - Ten seconds.

- Ten seconds. - Yes.

Keep going.

Five seconds. Don't give up.

- Yes. - Block.

(Round 2 ends.)

(Polite)

Still, you were pretty good.

(Thanks to the boxer who fought with his best.)

(Trudging)

Good job.

This is how you'll feel after the game.

Good job.

(Somebody help Sae Rok.)

(He's panting more than before.)

Sae Rok, you learned boxing for only a month,

yet you still threw punches.

Seriously,

when he punches me in a row,

I'm like, "What?"

Everything stops.

Near the end, I ran out of energy.

- You couldn't attack, right? - I couldn't...

- do anything. - Right?

- I'm not overwhelmed. - Breathe.

- I just can't breathe. - Exactly.

That's what happened in just three minutes.

You see how much energy boxing requires?

At first, you were passionate.

You also had a nice posture.

(At first, she stuck to the basic jab-jab-one-two routine.)

(Sae Rok played calmly.)

(But after the second half, )

You had only one pattern. I was able to read you easily.

(Sae Rok's attack pattern was read, so she was attacked helplessly.)

Oh, you read my pattern.

That's why I always tell you...

to keep your attack patterns diverse.

After a couple of times, they read it.

(The number of weapons will determine your victory.)

Seriously, my stamina...

(She felt the limit of her stamina again.)

can't keep up.

Sung Min controlled his punches...

because this was a supervised sparring.

If the opponent was determined,

- it was game over. - Right.

I would've got hit in a row...

- and knocked out. - You would've got hit...

and passed out.

Do you realize how important your stamina is?

You've been practicing for three-minute rounds.

But you're already exhausted for a minute and a half.

(Sae Rok once again realized the limit of stamina.)

- It means you can't keep up yet. - Gosh.

(Sae Rok's first sparring session results:)

(Strengths: She was calm enough to try the techniques she learned.)

(She blocked just as she learned.)

(Weaknesses: She lacks diverse attack patterns.)

(Due to her lack of stamina, )

(she needs training to strengthen her stamina.)

I have a question.

When she brushed past your face, you smiled.

Why did you smile?

(When Sae Rok punched him during the sparring...)

(Punching)

(Grinning)

- It was scary. - I didn't expect her to hit me.

Did you smile because it was unexpected?

That means you're good.

- It's all about confidence. - Right?

You got punched when you didn't expect that.

(Dazed)

(On the other hand)

I'm so nervous. I've been nervous for so long.

This is to test whether you're able to use...

what you've learned until now.

So focus on that. Okay?

What did I learn?

I don't remember what I learned.

- What you need to do is jab. - Let's go!

Jab, jab, high, low. Punch, punch.

And keep throwing jabs...

and keep your eyes high and low.

- Try that. Okay? - Yes.

(The ace comes forward.)

Go, In Ah.

She's the strongest, Sung Min.

Blue versus red.

(Sung Min's fine even though this is his fourth sparring.)

- Focus. - Glove touch.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Don't get hurt. - To your corners.

Round One.

Go.

(Round 1 begins.)

(Blocking with parry as soon as she begins)

(They keep each other in check.)

(Then she tries the low jab.)

(Low)

(While Sung Min throws a punch...)

(Low again)

(Low)

(High)

She did it.

(Trying high and low as she learned)

(Sung Min jabs at ease like a veteran.)

(Body jab)

It's not easy to hit.

It's not easy to hit.

She's avoiding. Good job, Seol In Ah.

(One-two in return)

(Applying the shuffle)

(One, two)

Nice.

(Shuffling and punching freely)

(In Ah throws one-two punches without breaks.)

(Exclaiming)

You need to throw longer punches. He's too good at dodging.

(Low, 2nd time)

- He's flustered. - Yes.

Yes. Good job.

(Low)

(Feint)

(One, two)

Even if you missed him, you still did a good job.

(In Ah takes back steps and looks for her chance again.)

Good job.

(Shuffling)

(Pivoting)

- Yes. - Punch.

(Shuffling by stepping back)

(Pivoting by turning sides)

(After taking left and right steps by doing turning-jab-jab-two, )

(she succeeds in attacking him.)

(Attacking)

Yes. Good job.

(Her strong straight punch attacked Sung Min in the spot.)

Yes. Good job.

Keep going and get his abdomen. Yes. Good.

(A series of punches)

Keep going and get his abdomen. Yes. Good.

Good job.

(After a series of punches, )

(she catches her breath.)

(Chasing)

Now, she's in it for real.

Now, she's in it for real.

That's scary.

But...

(Jab)

Sung Min's serious right now.

(When In Ah attacks, he grins.)

He grinned.

(Training level 1)

(Training level 2)

Yes.

(Shuffling)

Yes. One more time.

(He begins to use footwork.)

(After securing the attack position, he throws the one-two punch.)

Yes. One more time.

(A series of attacks in no time)

(In Ah showed her side due to his continuous attacks.)

More.

(She strikes a pose again.)

That's right.

That's right.

- To the side. - Yes.

She's...

(After the cross punch she threw while getting hit...)

(Body)

(Hook)

Yes. Good job.

- Yes. - Good job.

(Returning as much as she received)

She's using everything she practiced.

(Sung Min throws a counter instead of getting hit.)

Nice right punch.

She's using everything she practiced.

(Feeling dizzy)

Breathe.

(Remaining time)

- Ten seconds. - More.

- Punch. - Endure it.

(She chases him to the end.)

Yes. Good job. Keep your eyes on him.

(She loses balance due to fatigue.)

- Good. - Yes.

It's okay. Watch him again.

Yes. Good job. Low and high.

Stop.

(Round 1 ends.)

- I can't breathe. - Catch your breath.

(The mouthpiece makes her run out of breath even more.)

In Ah's good.

Sung Min didn't show it,

but he felt she was different.

- Weren't you taken aback? - She's the strongest, right?

(Yes.)

Nice. Good job. Keep it up, okay?

- I can't reach him. - Right.

(Round 2 begins.)

Nice one.

(A tight game from the start)

(Sizing each other up)

(A fake low)

(Low)

(Low, high)

That's it.

(High, low)

(Trying high and then low this time)

(Punching)

Attack Sung Min when he attacks you.

(An uppercut)

(Simba Seol is in hunting mode.)

Yes.

(Attacking and dodging with all her might)

(One, two, )

(dodge, and hit)

(In Ah uses everything she's learned.)

- Hang in there. Yes. That's it. - Good.

(A body shot)

(A left hook)

(Shifting her weight with a back step)

(A straight punch with a hip turn right away)

I'm not tearing up. You're doing great.

Yes.

(In Ah keeps going until the end.)

(Training level 2)

(Training level 3)

(Because she is tired, In Ah keeps her eyes on the ground.)

(A body shot in that opening)

(A left hook)

(In Ah gets hit by a left hook-two-one.)

- Keep going. - She's getting beaten up.

(A split-second accurate hit)

It's okay.

(In Ah is experiencing punches from a veteran.)

Since she's good, Sung Min is going hard on her.

Do everything you can before it ends.

Go.

(Sung Min punches relentlessly.)

- Keep going. - Ten seconds.

It's almost over. Keep going, In Ah.

(Seconds before losing focus)

The last punch.

(After landing one punch, )

(In Ah is hit twice.)

(Hook, hook, body)

(Screaming)

(Amazed)

- Ten seconds. - In Ah.

You're almost done, In Ah.

(In Ah endured it until the end with fighting spirit.)

Good.

(Round 2 ends.)

Great job.

- Gosh. - Goodness.

You're truly different.

(In Ah has gone all out.)

All right. What was it like, In Ah?

I've witnessed my madness.

You came to your senses when you got angry because he kept hitting you.

That was why you went crazy.

It happened throughout the match.

- I saw chaos. - Honestly, I don't remember much.

- Your match was entertaining. - In Ah...

Sung Min didn't expect us to be that good.

But when fighting you,

- Yes. - he bumped up the intensity.

- He punched me loads. - No, he...

- You stepped up the level. - I did.

- He's good. - Why did you do that?

She was good.

I didn't want to lose.

So as not to lose? You did it so as not to lose.

In Ah has a great form.

And she can hit both when we're apart and close to each other.

Everything she did was good.

Can you tell us what In Ah can...

- improve on? - I've got tons.

In the beginning, her guard...

- Was it bad? - should've been up here,

but it was actually down here.

(Her guard was down.)

(Her guard was down from the start.)

(That allowed the opponent to punch her jaw.)

If you take a hit there, you'll probably fall.

(Realizing the importance of the guard again)

- I'll drop down? - Right away.

But still, In Ah launched a series of blows.

You calmly used your footwork...

- to practice your skills. - Yes.

You did very well in the beginning.

(In Ah's 1st sparring session results:)

(Strengths: She maintained distance by using footwork.)

(She showed good follow-up attempts with the combinations.)

But you kept your head too high.

(Weakness: She lowered her guard and lifted her head while striking.)

(There was a risk of exposing vital parts.)

It's better to keep your head down.

Got it.

(After the sparring sessions are over)

Great work today.

- Thank you. - You were amazing.

If we hadn't had the sparring sessions today,

we would've been more flustered. But we have enough time.

Today was, in a way,

your first-ever fight inside the ring.

Little did I expect it to be this intense.

You did great.

Nobody gave up and threw punches with fighting spirit.

It got me excited.

In a month and a half, they will be taking part...

in a boxing competition.

Did you ever compete in a community sports competition?

- I did once in the past. - Right?

- You know how it is, right? - Yes.

Have you seen the women's open division...

- boxing match? - Yes.

Do you think they can be ready in a month and a half?

(Secretly hopeful)

With a bit more effort,

- We must put in a bit more effort. - they could be on par.

This is bad. What should we do?

We've watched all of your sparring sessions.

I'm sure you felt it yourself.

To put it bluntly,

none of you successfully completed the second round.

- That's true. - You're right.

At this rate, you won't make it to the community sports competition.

This is me being honest.

I know you've worked hard.

(The first sparring session is full of regrets.)

What did you feel after our sparring today?

- We should definitely step up... - Yes?

- our stamina training. - Stamina training?

- Stamina. - We need stamina to throw...

another punch...

- or make a quick footstep. - That's a valuable lesson.

To bring your stamina up, you need to do that exercise.

(What exercise?)

In order to build your stamina,

we're taking part in a trail run race.

(A trail run?)

All athletes of the Korea National Training Center climb Mount Buram.

The boxing team always comes in first place.

If you can, it's best to hike whenever you can.

(To improve their stamina, )

(the Iron Girls head to the mountains?)

(Muddy terrains)

(What is this? A public bath?)

(Uphill paths)

(Downhill paths)

(The real...)

(stamina training...)

(pushing limits)

(A brutal trail run to build their stamina)

(Can the Iron Girls complete the course?)

Let's go.

I have no idea what kind of day awaits us,

but let's go.

- Gosh. - What? This is nice.

I feel like we need to do a photoshoot.

Let's walk in a straight line with style.

- Go. - Go.

(Entering the green runway)

(Walking with light steps)

(A picture-perfect place where your footsteps feel light)

(A garden full of greenery, )

(a clear blue sea brimming with freshness, )

(and a natural training ground sure to be soaked in pure sweat)

(Jeju Island)

(They're on Jeju Island to participate in the race.)

(A sudden change of song)

(Boxing)

(The legendary boxers navigating the forest)

Hi.

This path is beautiful.

Seeing you again here on Jeju Island feels great.

- I'm so glad to see you. - Hey.

Had I known we were filming inside a forest,

I wouldn't have worn brown.

- Same here. - What?

(A tree, a leaf)

What are we doing here today?

Someone is here to tell you what you'll be doing here today.

- Who will? - Who?

Captain Kim?

We didn't even look for Captain Kim.

- He scared me. - Hold on. I saw who it is.

I didn't want to see him all the way out here.

- Hi, Coach. - Hi.

- You followed us? - You came all the way...

to Jeju Island?

- In the scenic Jeju Island, - Yes?

We'll be doing a very special training.

- What training? - What kind of training?

Today's special training will strengthen...

your core and upper body muscles.

- In Ah's favorite Mayweather... - Boxing?

- did this workout. - Mayweather.

So did my favorite Mike Tyson.

- Really? - For real?

- What could it be? - What is it?

We won't be running.

Shall we head to the place first?

- We have to walk more? - It's not here?

You'll see once you get there. Let's go. Follow me.

Do you guys feel okay?

Being on Jeju Island makes me happy, right?

- Yes. - Right?

What?

Are we doing yoga?

- Over there. - What are those?

What is this?

- What? What is that? - Come.

- For real? - What's going on?

(What are those?)

I don't want to go inside, Uie.

(The jaw-dropping special training)

(A chilling ax welcomes the Iron Girls.)

(Stacked tightly without any gaps)

(80 logs)

As you can tell, today's exercise...

will strengthen the upper body, core,

and body coordination.

It's chopping firewood.

In Ah looks like she's been chopping up until now.

Are you sure you didn't chop these?

All the chopping I did turned me into this color.

Did Mayweather and Tyson really train by chopping firewood?

Yes. World-famous boxers,

including Mayweather and Tyson, have undergone this training.

(Mayweather)

(Chopping firewood is an essential training for world-famous boxers.)

(Using tires instead of firewood, )

(it's an upper body workout that's even done at gyms.)

- To lift up the heavy ax, we use... - Yes?

- our forearm muscles, shoulders, - Yes.

And core to support it.

To hit the target, we focus.

And the moment we bring the ax down, we apply force...

to chop the firewood.

In short, impact.

- "Impact." - Yes.

You'll be using all three skills.

You will all chop firewood at the same time.

If a piece of wood comes flying in your direction,

dodge and hit.

- Really? - "Dodge and punch?"

Dodge it.

- Really? - Unbelievable.

That's going too far.

- I love the fresh air. - Here's a demonstration.

- "A demonstration?" - Yes.

Stand with your feet parallel to each other.

Bend your knees slightly.

Holding the ax with your hands close together makes it feel heavier.

To distribute your strength evenly, keep your hands far apart.

When you bring the ax down, slide your upper hand down.

The centrifugal force will cause it to split.

Just bring it down straight. Chop.

Just bring it down straight. Chop.

(In 1 powerful swing, the firewood splits into 2.)

Like so.

Split it into fours.

Do we have to do all 80 by today?

Yes. You can do it.

This training is quite novel.

Let's try and chop them.

All right. Safety is the top priority.

(Wearing hand protection, )

(along with somehow stylish goggles.)

(Bulletproof defense)

(Wink)

(They're ready.)

- Do we actually look cool? - Are we cool?

- Now then. - I'll go first.

Okay.

Get into position, Ju Hyun.

- The ax is incredibly heavy. - Right?

- It's heavy. - It is indeed heavy.

(With her forearm muscles, she lifts...)

(the heavy ax up.)

- Go down. - Chop.

That's it. Well done.

(Nice one.)

Get the hang of it, and everyone can pick it up quickly.

(One more time, just like earlier.)

(Lifting with her forearm muscles...)

(and chopping with her deltoid muscles)

That's it.

(A round of applause)

- Good job. - Nice, Park Ju.

- Park Ju Hyun! - Yes!

- Park Ju! - Well done.

- You're good. - You did well, Park Ju.

- Like this. - Yes, like that.

- Lift it up. - "Lift it up."

- Lift it. - My shoulders hurt.

Come down and chop.

- Hold on. - But don't keep it down here.

Maybe In Ah will split it in one go.

Be careful, In Ah.

(Will Strong In Ah succeed in one swing?)

- Chop. - Yes. Good job.

- I couldn't do it. - Well done.

Again.

(Another try, nervous)

Chop. Again. It's okay.

Chop. That's it.

Chop. Yes.

Chop. Nice.

- Good. - I can't do it.

- You're really good at it, Ju Hyun. - It's harder than it looks.

Don't try to hit it hard.

Use the ax's weight to cut.

Put it on the floor.

Can I get it done today?

- You can. - Yes.

- You can do everything. - Trust yourself.

You can do anything, In Ah.

- Trust yourself. - Good.

- Up. - Chop. That's it.

(With Lucky Rocy's support, she finally split it in half.)

- Sae Rocky, it's not easy. - Nice, but I'll fail.

- This is a pass. - I'll fail.

- I don't think I can do it. - No, you can.

(Uie is the 3rd to try for the firewood chopping.)

- Here. - Let's go.

(Read the room, Firewood.)

Did you just threaten it?

(Reliable)

(Her forearms are too thin to lift the 4kg ax.)

Lift.

(Will Uie succeed?)

- Yes. - Uie.

Your whole body wobbles when you lift the ax up.

- Exactly. - Is this right?

Lift.

(Wobbling)

Just now, you put some strength into your arms.

Don't do that. Use the ax's weight.

Use your body when you bring it down.

Swing your upper body down.

(Trying again while paying attention to her waist's motion)

Chop. Yes.

Chop. Yes.

Nice. You're doing well.

That's it.

Like that.

- Good. - That was great.

- She's very accurate, no? - Yes.

- Uie's swing is spot on. - Right?

She's a sniper.

- She hit the exact same spot. - Right?

(As accurate as a sniper)

(I'll chop you up for sure this time.)

(Screaming)

She hit the same spot again.

That was a clean cut.

Yes. Okay.

(She successfully hit the same spot.)

- Well done. - You're really accurate, Uie.

We're taking ages to chop one firewood.

- But 80? - But 80?

(We can get 80 done, right?)

Done. You're turn, Sae Rok.

- I'm sweating. - Doesn't it make you sweat a lot?

But that was my first try.

Go ahead, Sae Rok.

Be careful. You should watch out.

Be careful, Sae Rok.

I don't know how to do it.

I don't trust myself.

(Far away)

Slowly. Bring it down.

That's it.

That's it.

(She split it in one go.)

Great job.

- Doesn't it feel great? - Well done.

- Just like that. - I'm good.

She's happy.

Again.

(Again to feel that same thrill)

Let's go.

(Lifting it with her forearm muscles)

(Swinging down with her deltoid muscles)

- That's it. Okay. - Nice one.

Sae Rok is incredible.

(Wiggling)

Something looks a little funny.

(Her posture is slightly off.)

No. Sae Rok is using her lower body.

(Gathering her lower body strength)

- Oh, dear. Well done. - Goodness.

(What? I'm actually good at it.)

Sae Rok is super cool.

(A fairy's face, a woodsman's skill)

(Sae Rok rides the momentum.)

- Yes. - You're so cool, Keum Sae Rok.

- Nice, Rocky. - That's it.

Nice.

Just like that. Unbelievable.

(I'm the more excited one.)

How pretty. Do you see the grain of the wood?

- Gosh. I love it. - It's so pretty.

- It's actually beautiful. - Really, it's pretty.

Let's do this.

(Another fairy woodsman is fired up.)

(Getting into position)

Go. Try it.

(Lifting it effortlessly)

- Okay. - Yes.

(One shot, one kill)

Yes.

- Okay. - Well done.

Okay.

(Let me handle what comes after.)

- Next. - Okay.

- Give me a second. - Next.

I must protect my player. Warm up your arms.

Hold on. Wait, okay?

- Get ready. - I've found my calling.

(I'll crush you.)

(She might appear to do it effortlessly.)

Okay.

My forearm muscles.

(Working the upper body muscles)

- Yes. - Nice.

- The next one. - This feels so refreshing.

The next one.

- Okay. - That's it.

(Her heart skipped a beat.)

A testosterone queen.

(She's the Iron Girls' testosterone queen.)

We can finish 80 by today, right?

(But they have a mountain of logs left.)

I haven't gotten the hang of it yet.

That's okay.

Use your whole weight. Look.

Don't just let your body weight flow.

When you swing down, make sure to drive it down.

- Something like that. - Okay.

(Tightening her forearm muscles)

Let it flow first.

(Lifting up with the flow)

Sting like a bee.

That's it.

(One shot, one kill)

- Okay. - Good job.

That's it.

- I finally get it. - Here.

Float like a butterfly,

- sting like a bee. - With your glutes. That's it.

- You get it now, right, Uie? - Yes.

Keep that going.

I love my instructor. Her quick tips are on point.

You and the ax are one.

My body and the ax become one.

- That's it. Just like that. - Goodness.

She's amazing.

(Motivated by Uie, In Ah tries again.)

- Yes. - You did it.

(She hit the edge. She has a strong impact but poor accuracy.)

- You're good. - I didn't hit the center, did I?

No, but don't worry about it.

In Ah.

From here, swing down and squat a little.

Think of it like doing a squat.

(Think of it like doing a squat.)

That's it.

- I did it! - That's it. Nice job.

Sae Rok gave me a great tip.

(Swinging again after getting the feel)

(Exploding with wildness)

How sexy of you, In Ah.

In Ah. You're looking beautiful.

(Creating gorgeous forearm muscles)

She's good.

(A masterpiece)

(Masterpiece created 1 more time)

(Masterpiece created 2 more times)

Sae Rok. Let's create a masterpiece.

I'm in. But they sure look beautiful.

Right? It's looking pretty.

Are they here for the gemstones?

Didn't our log split into beautiful pieces?

It's gorgeous, In Ah.

- She's hilarious. - I'm serious.

(Here's Sae Rok. And here's In Ah.)

Yes.

(The Seol-Rok Duo destroys the logs.)

- I should wear this, right? - Yes, let's do that.

It's cool.

Wearing it makes you sexy, like aespa.

We're just ae-pitiful.

You be CARRYNA.

(CARRYNA, carrying with stamina)

I'll be WINTEL.

(WINTEL, the laid-back testosterone queen)

She's CHISELLE.

(CHISELLE, guaranteed to hit)

- What will you be? - KNOCKKNOCK.

(KNOCKKNOCK, knocking with energy)

That's it. Yes.

- We've got it. - Good job.

We still have a lot left.

(ae-pitiful is only halfway through.)

Focus.

If you lose your concentration, you lose your accuracy.

This is round two.

It's a battle of stamina and mental strength.

Clean them up.

- It's heavy. - Be careful.

(No impact)

You've lost strength.

- Are you okay? - Focus.

(Compared to the beginning, )

(her chops show less impact.)

(Focusing again)

I can tell you're out of energy.

(Focusing and swinging down again)

That's it.

I've hit the same place three times, but...

To be intact when I've hit the same spot three times?

(Staggering)

(Likewise, Sae Rok, who started off strong, )

- Sae Rok, we're in round two. - Got it.

(staggers.)

She's worn out.

(The 2 aces have no strength left.)

As for me, I'm just getting started.

- Athletes with great stamina... - Seriously.

Do better in the second half.

- Yes. - Goodness.

- One more. - Hurry.

(The next opponent)

- Here you go. - Well done.

Good. One shot, one kill.

(The helper is busy. There is no time to breathe before each refill.)

You can do it, ma'am.

Look at Uie. She's still full of energy.

- With force. - That's it.

Gosh, I'm in awe.

(Her trembling arms...)

(are now firmly steady.)

You've got it.

This is wild. Look at how much she improved.

- Oh, gosh. - Ma'am?

Gosh, I can't.

Gosh.

- Will I get it by today? - Hold on, ma'am.

- I've lost all strength. - Will I get it by today?

All set.

(The helper is even more worn out than the woodchopper.)

(But even after that...)

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Can't you go slowly, ma'am?

All right. Got it.

Ma'am.

(About to pass out)

- That's it. - Nice job, Kim Uie.

(Finishing strong)

Gosh, In Ah. Do you still have energy left?

- Chopping them warmed my body up. - Right.

Let's finish them, In Ah.

- Okay. Let's do that. - Good.

That's it.

(Chopping...)

(in harmony)

(Chopping)

(Smashing the logs in rhythm)

- You've only got those left. - Yes.

- You're almost done. - We're done.

- Here. - Let's stay strong, guys.

Stay calm and finish them.

(Remaining logs: 3)

(Remaining logs: 2)

(Remaining logs: 1)

- Done. - Done.

Great work.

Here I go. This is the last one.

Go for it.

(A clean wrap-up)

(The training has ended.)

- Good. - I'm drained and can't do a thing.

- Well done. - Great job.

You did well.

I love you. Good work.

- You were amazing. - Can you see my sweat?

Can you see how much I've sweated?

- Ju Hyun is soaked. - Right?

Ju Hyun did all the work in the beginning...

because I was bad at it.

The second half was more tiresome.

Matching the log's speed with Uie's was...

(Clearing the last firewood)

You can really see our personalities.

- All done? - I threw our firewood.

- Those are for sale. - For business.

Right. Firewood for sale.

- Those are for us. - See the personality gap.

I'm glad you and I were a team.

Had we switched...

I would've been stressed out if I were told to tidy up like that.

How was the wood-chopping training?

- As you know, I warm up quite late. - Right.

Once I got the hang of it, I got faster.

Ever since then, you've been on a roll.

I learn the ropes quickly at the beginning,

but I wear out easily.

No. Once I lost my posture,

I had to swing ten times to chop the log,

whereas before I could do it in just one swing.

That was how it went.

I had my doubts about this training.

It's frustrating that I realized why it was necessary.

You're right. Why are we realizing things?

I was like, "I can't learn anything from wood chopping." Yet I did.

Since we're done, do we get food now?

Yes. What would you like?

- Meat. - "Meat?"

- Let's go. - Let's go eat!

(The sun has set.)

(A sudden heavy rain falls.)

It's a relief that the rain started after our training.

- We've finally arrived. - It's our home.

(Gosh)

How is it?

- It's huge. - Why is it so roomy?

- My goodness. - Look at that meat.

- Oh, gosh. - Seriously?

(Specially prepared for the exhausted Iron Girls)

(A barbecue set of Jeju Island black pork)

Gosh, check out how thick the meat is.

We're eating indoors this time.

Ju Hyun grills meat to perfection.

Step away. We're still filthy.

You're right. I want to wash my hands.

- Let's go. - Okay.

(Washing up quickly before dinner)

(Uie gets out of the shower first and dries her hair.)

My hair is drying out fast.

(Ju Hyun is done with her shower.)

Ju Hyun, use this.

It dries well without damaging the hair.

- Are you done? - Yes.

(They share what's good.)

- The airflow is gentle. - Right?

Isn't it light?

I think this one will do.

My mom and sister love this dryer.

It makes the hair voluminous, which is great.

Finish it with cool air.

(Dolling up before dinner)

How cute.

Shall we get cooking now?

Are you going to grill the meat?

Of course I will.

Ju Hyun, let me help.

- Please follow me with that meat. - Yes, ma'am.

(Heading to the deck with the meat)

(Reunited with the charcoal grill)

It's been a while.

(She's happy to see it.)

(Actually, Ju Hyun...)

(controls both the charcoal fire and the meat.)

(The acclaimed charcoal master)

- Gosh. - Finally, Ju Hyun.

We finally get to eat Ju Hyun's meat.

"The firewood crushed by the Iron Girls."

To grill meat with those?

What? "The firewood crushed by the Iron Girls?"

Those are the logs we chopped into firewood.

(The firewood crushed by the Iron Girls)

(Firewood chopped with your blood, sweat, and tears)

With the firewood I chopped...

I wonder how that'll feel.

I'll grill them for you quickly.

(The meat is grilled over burning firewood.)

(The charcoal master is back.)

It's flame-grilled.

(The charcoal master goes all out, grilling the meat.)

You're looking really cool.

I told you she was cool.

(Dead serious)

Who eats grilled green onions?

- Me. - Okay.

Wait. What is that?

Isn't that a bat?

Wasn't that a bird just now?

"A bird?"

What is that? For real.

- Look. I told you, didn't I? - It's a bat, right?

(Screaming)

- Go away. - Please.

- It's huge. - Stop lying.

- Is it a bat? - Look how big the shadow is.

It's not a bat, is it?

- Is it a moth or what? - I don't know.

- What is it? Where did it go? - Where is it?

- Where? - Oh, no!

- This is no joke. - Isn't it huge?

Did someone see it?

- Did you see it or not? - The meat.

I did, but I have zero idea what it is.

(Putting her fear aside, she grills the meat.)

How was that even possible?

(What is Sae Rok doing during the chaos?)

(She's busy in the kitchen alone.)

- I'm going to make olive kimchi. - Okay.

These olives.

(Who is she talking to?)

- Put them in here... - Hey!

And draw out the saltiness.

What are you doing alone?

I'm shooting a cooking class.

Keum Sae Rok's Cooking Class.

(Sae Rok's Cooking Class: Making olive kimchi)

Did you come up with it yourself?

No. It's a trending recipe.

- Olive kimchi? - Yes.

It's simple yet delicious.

Are you saying the olives will turn into kimchi?

Yes, it will.

I've never had olive kimchi before.

Really? It's a quick recipe.

Do you usually cook?

Me? I make...

simple meals...

- You do? - at home.

That's amazing.

(Making olive kimchi)

(1. Draw out the saltiness of the olives under running water.)

(Next is to prep the vegetables!)

(2. Chop up an onion.)

You need to chop it finely.

Or else, it can cause your breath to stink.

Because raw onions have a strong smell,

chopping them into fine pieces is key.

That's the point.

(Sae Rok's practical cooking class)

Can you slice the cucumber chili for me?

- You won't regret it, right? - Of course not.

(3. Cut the cucumber chili into bite-sized pieces.)

- Bite-sized? - Yes, that's good.

Wait. I've got a great teacher.

You're generous with your compliments.

Really? But you're good at everything.

(2nd compliment: You're good at everything.)

At times, Sae Rok says things that make your heart flutter.

- I do? - Yes.

Like just now.

It's true that you're good at things.

You don't hold back.

And then...

I will add...

Is there a big bowl here?

The onions in.

In they go.

(Adding the onions)

The cucumber chili goes in next.

After that, chili powder.

One teaspoon of minced garlic.

Half a teaspoon.

One big teaspoon of olive oil.

Mix them together.

(With her touch, it is getting delicious.)

It looks okay.

- What do you think? - It looks good.

(It's visually appetizing.)

(Sae Rok has a taste of it.)

(Impressed)

It's good.

Nice.

Very good.

(Finishing it off with sesame seeds)

(Serving it in a pretty bowl)

It looks pretty.

The unique flavor makes it good.

(Screaming)

What is it? What's wrong this time?

What's going on?

That was Ju Hyun, right?

Oh, gosh.

(The deck is filled with smoke.)

I can't see a thing.

That piece is in danger.

Gosh. The fat is dripping down.

Oh, no.

(The charcoal master is flustered.)

Isn't this a CBR training?

(Help me.)

This is...

(The fire isn't dying down.)

This is the toughest day I've ever had grilling meat.

Should I take some charcoal out?

(In Ah helps put out the fire.)

No, stay...

Stay still. Stop. What do I do?

- No, it's okay. Calm down. - What about taking some wood out?

(She calmly moves the meat to another grill.)

Cut off the oxygen.

(The oxygen is cut off immediately.)

Let me wipe off the excess oil.

- Shall we check, chef? - Open it.

It looks calm now.

(Placing foil over the weakened flames)

(She tries grilling the meat again.)

(Turning over a new leaf)

(She knows no failure.)

It's cooking well.

(Carefully seasoning the meat with salt)

That looks so good.

(The smoky black pork barbecue is complete.)

It looks tasty.

- I'll put it here for now. - Okay.

(Making handles for the tomahawk pork chops...)

(so that they can hold them and gnaw on them.)

(Careful touches)

(She finished making the handles for the tomahawk pork chops.)

(In Ah plates the food so that it looks good.)

It's our first time eating meat that was cooked...

by the firewood we chopped.

Seriously.

When would we do this again in our lives?

Let's not do this again.

(Let's not do this again.)

It looks tasty when there are bell pepper pieces.

- Good. - All done.

- All done. - All done.

We're done.

(Here comes the meat.)

(Glancing over)

- Look at this. - Isn't this restaurant food?

- What's this? - Do you want to take a look?

What's this?

In Ah, the presentation is so pretty.

Thanks. I copied what I saw.

(Olive kimchi)

- I made it. - Ju Hyun.

- It's olive kimchi. - It looks so tasty.

Thank you for your hard work.

Let's hurry up and eat.

- Yes. - Let's hurry up.

- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.

Ju Hyun, what's this?

It was cooked using the wood we chopped.

- The wood we chopped. - Really?

It was written there.

Then we should've had so much firewood.

- It's tasty. Hurry up and eat it. - We worked so hard for...

She's so good at grilling meat.

I enjoyed it so much last year.

(She takes a bite of the tomahawk pork chop.)

While there were some hardships...

(This is incredible.)

(Hurry up and eat it.)

(It's Sae Rok's first time tasting the meat...)

(that was grilled by the charcoal master.)

It isn't tough, right?

(Pausing)

- What do you think? - It's really tasty, right?

What's this? I've never had anything like it.

- Really? - Isn't it a tomahawk pork chop?

- What's this? - A tomahawk pork chop, right?

(In Ah takes a big bite as well.)

Do we have sauce?

Ju Hyun, thank you so much.

(The charcoal master takes a big bite as well.)

- It's tasty. - I only had the fat,

and it's still good.

It's so tasty.

- It's insane. - What are we going to do?

(Uie is very proud of her.)

Dip it in sesame oil and salt.

(Impressed)

It's crispy outside and moist inside.

- Right? - Yes.

(Proud)

(They eat...)

(in earnest.)

How are the edges so tender?

(Try the mushroom as well.)

The mushroom is tasty.

(Impressed)

(They share the tasty mushroom.)

(Impressed)

(Impressed)

It's so tasty.

The olive kimchi is really tasty too.

- I want to eat it in one bite. - Here. The oil sauce.

(Uie eats a big spoonful.)

- It's tasty, right? - It's tasty, right?

(Eating the first piece)

(Eating the second piece)

- It isn't tough, right? - It goes well with the meat.

- Right? It does, right? - Seriously.

(It's the perfect match for meat.)

- When we exercise, - In Ah.

We need to eat like animals.

(It's a taste they'll never get tired of.)

Ssamjang. Gochujang. I want gochujang.

(It's a taste they'll never get tired of.)

If this is our payment for a day of work,

- I'm satisfied. - Same here.

Ju Hyun, please make this every day. It's so tasty.

She can't make it every day.

- How about once a week? - What if...

Then you'll need to split wood every day.

- What will it be? It's up to you. - I can do it with ease now.

- Really? - Yes.

(The woman who has an experience with an axe is relaxed.)

Let's split firewood for a part-time job someday.

- All four of us can do that. - Let's enter a competition.

A wood-chopping competition.

(Grand Opening Event: 30 Percent Discount, Axe Girls)

It's so tasty.

Let's eat this meat only when we do Iron Girls.

- It'll be a good memory. - Season Three?

I won't eat it again in my life.

(What? In that case...)

(Announcing that she won't eat another tomahawk pork chop)

This will be the last time.

You know,

Season Two is no joke.

To be honest, I thought that it'd be easier than Season One.

Me too. We had done a triathlon.

Exactly.

But boxing is just as hard.

Rocky, how is it for you? I'm curious.

It's extremely hard.

- My goodness. - It's extremely hard.

But I think, "I need to do it."

"I'll make it work."

The problem is that it's fun.

When I'm done, I think that it's fun.

- But it's extremely hard. - That's right.

We still remember...

the time you entered the ring for the first time...

and lasted three minutes.

(It seems just like yesterday that she looked for her mom.)

(She endured intense training with the members.)

(She overcame her limits.)

(Hit it!)

(Rocky Keum is becoming stronger.)

- She's becoming an iron girl. - That's right.

It's fun.

At first, when we asked Rocky...

to wash up with us,

she was like, "Why would we wash up together?"

She was like this at first.

Now, she's like, "Who cares? Let's go!"

"A bathhouse sounds nice. Let's go."

"A bathhouse sounds nice. Let's go." She does that.

During the course of a month,

- we became much closer. - That's right.

It doesn't feel like she's a new member.

Same here.

I wasn't familiar...

- with the environment. - That's right.

- I didn't know anyone. - Right.

But you guys treated me with ease.

You guys talked to me.

"Do you want to do this? Do you want to do that?"

Each member approached me in a different style.

- That's right. - I could become a part of the team.

It's so nice. Seriously.

It really looks like you're at ease. I'm so relieved.

Same here.

At times,

I think of you guys when I'm home.

- We're charming, right? - Yes, you guys are charming.

The thing is, I still think that boxing really doesn't suit me...

if I'm being perfectly honest.

But I feel like I've improved somewhat.

I've gotten a good taste.

"Is this why people box?"

To be honest, I felt it today.

I think I'm pretty okay with getting punched.

I see.

I know. I think I enjoy it at times.

Hey, let's win and cry together.

That's right.

No. Maybe winning won't be possible.

- That's right. - Let's win at least one round.

Will we have two rounds in a competition?

Will we be done in three minutes?

- That's right. - One minute and thirty seconds.

Won't there be preliminaries and finals?

We'll need to advance from the preliminaries...

- to enter the finals. - Yes.

If we fail to advance, this journey will be...

- Seriously. - for three minutes.

Six minutes.

We'll have three minutes.

If we get eliminated, we'll have three minutes.

- Right. - Three minutes and forty seconds.

Don't even think about getting eliminated.

- I'm under so much pressure. - You'll have six minutes.

- All of us should get 6 minutes. - I'll get 6 minutes as well.

Everyone will get six minutes.

- Okay. - Okay.

Everyone will do that.

Three months of training for six minutes.

Let's do our best.

- Don't get hurt, okay? - Okay.

(The night of the training deepens on Jeju Island.)

(Running in nature)

(Trail running)

(In this weather?)

(Rain falls like crazy.)

(The muddy trail slows them down.)

(The running course turns into a jungle.)

(I can't make it.)

(My knees hurt so much.)

(I can't go down.)

(Trail running in the worst situation)

(Will they be able to finish the race safely?)

(After the first sparring session, )

(will they spar a female adult?)

(Gasping)

(The opponent has a familiar silhouette!)

(Although they're happy to see her, )

(the situation makes them unhappy to see her.)

(The sparring finally came to be.)

(They face her in the ring.)

- Hook. - Punch, punch.

(Her punches are scary.)

(She's on another level in terms of skills.)

(She's too strong.)

(I can't do a hook at all.)

(Will the sparring end with them getting punched?)

(The counterattack...)

(begins.)

(Compared to the first sparring, )

(their boxing skills are different!)

(What will be the result of the second sparring?)
