In order to protect the seas of Korea,

a total of ten men and women...

are enlisting together to become Navy NCOs...

for the first time ever in the history of "Real Men."

The road to become Navy NCOs begins...

at the Naval Education and Training Command.

Unforgiving drill instructors...

make their entrances like powerful waves.

Are you testing me? Stop the nodding!

Can they begin their journey to become Navy NCO...

on the right foot?

(Real Men 2: Navy NCO Special)

(Navy NCO, 10 days before the enlistment)

- Salute. - Salute.

Salute.

(He has fun with his youngest daughter.)

He dominated the major league with his blazing fastball.

He successfully transformed himself from Korean Express...

to an elite soldier.

This time, he's joining the Navy.

The world star, Park Chan Ho has returned.

Salute! I love you.

(He is enjoys family time before his enlistment day.)

- What is this? - Shabu Shabu.

It's your favorite.

- Shabu Shabu. - Shabu Shabu.

- Dad. - Yes?

Eat this.

(The oldest daughter knows how to please her dad.)

I am going serve in the military again.

- Really? - Yes.

When you took some bread,

you got in trouble.

(For just a piece of bread,)

(they acted like starving paupers.)

(That incidence gave him the nickname, Bread Chan Ho.)

How did you feel at the time?

(No words can describe.)

I don't understand why he wants to enlist again.

I want to be just like Song Joong Ki this time.

(Then stay there forever.)

I see.

My father was a Navy sailor.

My father fought in the Vietnam War as a sailor, so I am curious.

They told me that we would be...

on the navy vessels, so I am curious.

Victory, Navy NCO!

Between male and female sailors,

designated boatswain's mates, helmsmen and coast guards...

will receive the most specialized training as warriors of the sea.

(Specialized sea warriors)

(During the interview...)

(Bread Chan Ho is a befitting nickname.)

(During the interview,)

(Chan Ho constantly devours bread.)

I just hope I don't have to swim or memorize things.

(Or memorize things)

(His intelligence evaporates in the military.)

(His memory fails him.)

(His status as King of Memory is legendary.)

Pride of a Navy NCO.

I...

(His legendary status continues in the navy.)

(And what?)

(I...)

(His introspective questioning is ceaseless.)

- I... - Assume push-up position.

(Even at roll call,)

(Chan Ho struggles with himself.)

(He is continually at war with himself.)

NCO...

(Beads of sweat drop down his face.)

NCO...

(His mind is in a comatose state.)

(His legendary status reaches a mythical level.)

(Everything is exemplary except his memory.)

(She throws mean combination punches.)

She is not only beautiful but also has a great personality.

She has transformed into a female boxer with a powerful punch.

She's the actress with many attractive points, Lee Si Young.

(She dominates the ring with her powerful punch.)

An amateur boxer, Lee Si Young...

captured the first place in the national tournament.

At first, I did boxing because I liked it.

Honestly, boxing was very difficult.

At that time, my coach...

was like a real devil.

I had a broken nose and a cracked rib.

I am filming a movie right now,

and the director is also like a devil.

It's an action film.

I get injured a lot, and we stay up all night filming.

Still, I think there in the military,

it should be...

less difficult than filming.

I will consider it a vacation.

Is the military a vacation for you?

(She meets her third tribulation at her military vacation.)

Will you continue to not listen?

- One. - I am.

- Two. - An NCO.

I will consider it a vacation.

(The vacation is ruined.)

(She enjoys water activities with eyes full of tears.)

(The next summer vacation should be spent in the navy.)

It's too hot.

I want to introduce my borrowed jogging mate.

(The lonely city bachelor prepares to jog.)

Are you ready?

Hold on.

(He gets humiliated by the dog borrowed from his friend.)

He can handle both good and evil characters.

He's a former baseball player,

Actor Lee Tae Sung.

It's been a year since I was discharged.

- Since your discharge. - Yes.

Now that I have been discharged,

- I don't have the same motivation. - That's right.

- I want that attitude restored. - I see.

I will enlist with a six-pack, at least.

(That's good.)

(A powerful body befitting an ex- baseball player)

Just to give a glimpse of my abdomen.

(A well-developed abdomen)

After a perfect weight loss plan,

my abdomen looks like this.

(Perfection)

In elementary school, I was a member of Sea Explorers of Korea.

(He is very familiar with the sea.)

(He is a ready-made navy NCO.)

I ate in this position while watching TV...

in high school.

Really, I can stay like this...

all day long.

- One, two, three, four! - One, two, three, four!

(In the navy, you can't even breathe.)

(His six-pack is useless here.)

This is the first time I am unhappy when dyeing my hair.

She's Korea's most popular girl crush.

Singer Seo In Young...

is the original tough girl.

(She holds back her tears while dyeing her hair black.)

I am not enlisting to look pretty.

I want to test my limits.

But my fingernails have never been bare before.

No one has seen my nails without polish.

No one has, except my mom and dad.

Even my mom hasn't seen them much.

(She is a human cultural heritage in nail art.)

Let it go. Just let it go.

I feel naked.

(I feel naked.)

(Here are her bare fingernails.)

(They look so plain.)

(Her toenails look so clean.)

Ta-da!

(The styling diva has taken a big step.)

(Instead of her usual voluminous hairstyle,)

(she has opted for something tamer.)

(Instead of fancy shoes,)

(she wears military issued socks and boots.)

(The girl crush has disappeared into thin air.)

(This Cinderella is subject to harsh military punishments.)

- One, two, three, two. - One, two, three, two.

- One. - Pain is!

- Two. - Our mission!

I didn't know that it would be this tough.

The place felt so suffocating.

(At Haeundae in Busan,)

(someone shows his voracious appetite.)

(This is his last meal before the enlistment.)

This is so delicious.

As a scene stealing specialist in portraying antagonists,

he has untouchable charisma.

He is Actor Kim Jung Tae.

I was in the Guard of Honor.

I was in great physical condition back then.

My unit could not be compared to other normal units.

When drill sergeants tried to intimidate me,

I wondered if I should pretend to be intimidated.

(I wondered if I should pretend to be intimidated.)

I didn't get intimidated.

Everyone who served for less than six months...

(Pre-enlistment interview)

- didn't dare speak to me. - I see.

Should you be in a physical pain...

to obey what I tell you?

(He is startled by Chief who talks to him right away.)

(Chief doesn't stop talking to him.)

Assume push-up position!

Stand up. Get down.

(He finds a conversation partner in military.)

- Cadet Kim Jung Tae. - Yes, Sir!

- Are you ready to try hard? - Yes, Sir!

Just give me that.

(Instead of frowning,)

(he's looking around like a shy lamb.)

This is my work of art.

I am afraid of water.

I can't swim, and I am afraid of heights.

I am shy around strangers.

I don't get along with others easily.

My comprehension skill is poor.

I have a long list of remarks.

(Remarks jackpot)

She has naive charms...

and a peculiar personality.

Meet the eccentric singer, Sol Bi.

Do you have any illnesses?

Me? My state of mind.

(Pre-enlistment interview)

I have strong determination, but I get scared easily.

I like water activities,

but I am scared of the sea.

(I like water activities, but I am scared of the sea.)

I am really scared of heights.

(Her words are contradicting.)

But I've gone skydiving.

I am not good with words.

What is that on your head?

I was a Roman princess in my previous life.

(I was a Roman princess in my previous life.)

I can't be too friendly, right?

(No one can figure her out.)

Hi.

(Another person with an eccentric personality)

His sorrowful voice hides... his eccentric personality.

- Is it green? - A caravel.

Are you talking about Mr. Kim Beom Seon?

(Mr. Kim Beom Seon?)

My memory is horrible.

Park Jae Jung is a rising variety show star.

One thing I am curious about is...

the available specialties.

- What is your desired specialty? - Yes.

You will...

most likely be an adviser.

- An adviser? - Yes.

You will likely be an adviser.

An adviser is someone who tortures other people, right?

Will I order someone to torture?

(Where do you get this idea?)

I see... It's someone high up, right?

- You think... - Someone in a higher position.

Let me tell you this. You will most likely be an adviser.

It's 80 to 90 percent likely.

- I should just wait and see. - You will find out there.

I do not have a shirt.

How is that possible?

You will find it at all cost, understood?

I lost my dog tag.

I lost my dog tag. It was in the raincoat.

Why are you not following...

my orders exactly?

I...

(A man high up who is intimidated by the shouting)

(Nodding)

Speak clearly!

Attention. Stop the nodding!

- Are you disobeying my orders? - No, Sir!

Do you want to stand out?

No, Sir! I am sorry!

- Did you cry? - No, Sir!

Are you here for camping?

No, Sir!

(During roll call and even during training)

No, Sir!

(He says it until he can't say it any more.)

No, Sir!

- Are you resting? - No, Sir!

- That's what it is. - Yes.

Being an adviser is a good thing.

I will write "adviser."

(I will write "adviser.")

Hi, everyone! I am Julian.

He possesses a free spirit...

and a deep love for Korea.

An entertainer, Julian.

I've been in Korea 13 years.

I came when I was 16.

Korean was very appealing...

because I thought I could learn it quickly.

I studied in Korean in high school.

Those who are alike stick together.

No hardship comes to those who are prepared. I skipped a grade.

(Julian mastered with perfect pronunciation...)

(long phrases which even native Koreans have trouble memorizing.)

I will eat thankfully.

(Everyone is envious.)

No one is as specialized as we are.

We are NCOs!

(An outstanding language skill)

Good job. Sit down.

Situation over. Cease deck deployments.

Was my pronunciation okay, Sir?

You did well. I will serve in the military.

(Yang Yeong Dong, Yang Sang Gook's father)

- Okay. - Bye.

Why is it so hot before the enlistment?

His dialect made him popular.

He is famous everywhere.

A veteran comedian, Yang Sang Gook.

Comedian.

Educational background.

(He pauses at educational background.)

I've been on a leave of absence...

(Let's see.)

For about 12 years now.

Is that considered a withdrawal?

(Withdrawal?)

Or is it considered incomplete?

Do you have any illness?

(His slim profile is a cause of concern.)

I've been getting a little ill...

- Really? - as I get older.

I can't live without this.

(His frailty forces him to wear a jumper even in summer.)

I shouldn't cry, right?

(I shouldn't cry, right?)

I cried a bit just now.

(A weakling who cries frequently)

Lower your rears.

(He can barely do one push-up.)

(Thud)

Are you okay?

(The frail man is in danger at every moment.)

(Sang Gook hurts himself.)

Cadet.

Yes, Sir!

What are you doing?

(He's no different in the water.)

(Instead of swimming, he walks.)

Cadet Yang Sang Gook, you have failed.

- Is it the PX? - The PX.

(Lovelyz members prepare to take a group selfie.)

From the girl group Lovelyz,

there is Seo Ji Soo, the shy singer.

I've wanted to join the military,

but now that I got the enlistment paper,

it's like...

my heart is pounding.

- What is this feeling? - What is this feeling?

- What can I do? - What can I do?

- Really nice! - Really nice!

- Ji Soo - Is going to the military

- Really nice! - Really nice!

When I get excited,

I can't calm down.

People think I have multiple personalities.

You might say that if you've never seen me before.

(One day, she's happy as if she's being discharged.)

She dances like this.

(Other days, she cries as if she's been dumped.)

(Her emotion goes up and down.)

(She's completely unpredictable.)

(Navy NCO cadets are ready to go.)

(Enlistment day D-5)

Daddy.

What are you doing? Don't film me.

(Lee Geun Soo, Lee Si Young's father)

Don't do it!

You are always in your underwear.

(Her father runs away.)

(The filming resumes after he wears his clothes.)

- Take a look, Daddy. - What is it?

- Are you going to the military? - Yes.

I told you not to do this. What?

You were away boxing for 2 or 3 years.

Look at all those bruises you got from making a movie.

I am sorry, Daddy.

Daddy, I promise I won't get hurt.

(Her father is worried about Si Young.)

Promise me. Make sure you are careful.

(Boxing made Si Young strong.)

Give her a big applause.

(She is the prime candidate to be their ace.)

(She has the courage and enthusiasm of 10 men.)

(When others are busy crying,)

(she shows a strange smile...)

(and completes her duty.)

(She was tailor-made for the navy.)

- One, two! - One, two!

(Her passion drips from her armpits.)

(Her warrior spirit erupts.)

When my dad was in military,

he took these pictures.

The man standing next to the man who looks alike Kim Yeong Cheol...

is my father.

I was in Vietnam for a year and a half.

You were there for a year and a half?

Yes, a year and a half.

You are an extraordinary man.

(My dad is an extraordinary man.)

You are a special person.

Thank you for recognizing that.

I am going to the navy this time.

Why are you enlisting again?

Since you were in the navy,

I became curious about it.

You know...

the navy is a lot tougher than the army.

You have to serve...

on the ship.

You may get seasick.

I am sure I can handle it.

Whose son am I?

- Come back safely. - Okay.

Hi, Pudding.

Macaroon.

Macaroon.

Let me show you my place. This is where...

I listen to my LPs. This is my bedroom.

This is my dresser.

(Am amazing assortment of perfume)

What do you have to pack?

- Are you taking all your stuff? - No, I'm not!

Hey, you!

I think I like those combat boots.

I've wanted them.

What color are those?

I want to put them where I put all my babies.

I am not taking any makeup.

I won't have time to put makeup on.

Why would I put on makeup? I will just look like a pauper.

But I can't compromise my clothes.

(A fashionista's declaration)

(However, she's never worn military uniforms before.)

Why doesn't this fit well?

(During uniform inspection)

Second company, fifth platoon.

Haven't you worn belts before?

Why are you wearing trouser belts on the outside?

(High waist look)

It's because you were wearing a waist belt.

I wear this belt...

because I am a chief petty officer.

The rest of the cadets must wear...

their belts through the loops on your trousers.

Have you never worn trousers before?

(Have you never worn trousers before?)

I am sorry.

- Have you not worn trousers? - I am sorry.

Guess who are here.

(Huh Kyung Hwan and Kim Ki Lee who were recently in White Horse Unit.)

Ki Lee, isn't your posture too intentional?

No, I am still disciplined.

- I don't think so. - Cadet number one,

Huh Kyung Hwan.

White Horse!

Horse among horses. White Horse!

Sang Gook,

have your hair cut like Ki Lee.

Show your hair.

- It's not growing. - It's not growing.

It's been several weeks. It's still not growing.

I already look ugly.

- No. - Already.

You are not watching me getting a haircut.

You are watching me becoming ugly.

(Becoming ugly)

Why are you laughing all of a sudden?

- Okay. - Thanks.

(Julian is also getting a haircut.)

I am ruined.

I always had a wide forehead.

It's my complex.

When I grew my hair, people told me that I looked good.

Then I realized that I had to keep my hair long.

A soldier must have a short hair.

- That's right. - Yes.

(No)

(After reaching a hard decision,)

(his hair falls to the floor.)

Let me finally show you.

Don't do it!

Don't do it.

Look over here.

It's pretty bad. Stop it.

- I look sexy. - It's okay.

(Sam Okyere is laughing hard.)

(He's having trouble breathing.)

Why are you laughing?

I was right. I told you so.

(How do I look?)

You are really ugly.

(You are really ugly.)

I am in shock.

(I am in shock.)

I don't think they cut really short...

because it could put people off.

- It's off-putting? - Yes.

That is something...

I am used to hear a lot as an actor.

Let's go.

(He's cute.)

- I want to try. - Daddy is shaving.

That's the last part.

(Chan Ho's 11-year-old daughter cuts his hair.)

No, no.

(He gets his haircut in fear.)

Aren't you cutting it too short?

Dad, you are really going on a ship, right?

- Yes. - I remember...

when you screamed before, your voice cracked.

That cracking sound? That happened...

because I screamed a lot.

(I see.)

(His voice cracks.)

(He can communicate with dolphins with that pitch.)

(His voice cracked throughout his military service.)

(His voice continues to crack in the navy as well.)

(However, his rival appears.)

(Cracking Jae Jung is here to replace Cracking Chan Ho.)

Yes, Sir!

(It's a symphony of cracking voices.)

(Who will crack his voice more often?)

(A fierce battle is coming up.)

I don't speak very well.

My mother was in severe pain,

so she had a sarcaerian.

(It's not sarcaerian. It's caesarian.)

Isn't it alam?

What's alam? You mean alarm?

They said that in military, intestines don't come out.

(In military, intestines doesn't come out?)

(If your intestines come out, you die.)

Today's menu was samgyetang.

- What? - Today.

- Today marks mid summer. - Today is mid summer.

Does that mean everything overlaps?

(Oh my gosh!)

Does everything we eat today overlap?

I don't speak very well.

The most important thing is...

to make a good first impression.

If you don't make a good impression,

you will be labeled as a troublemaker.

(His first impression may not be good.)

(Gulp)

Are you wearing makeup?

My skin is naturally dark.

Would you like to see?

(Green tea cannot change his skin tone.)

How about around your eyes?

These are dark circles.

You are too young to have them.

(His mind works in a different dimension.)

Let me know when you have the confidence.

(Everyone trains hard.)

Look straight forward.

Go as if you are stuck to the floor.

(She practices crawling.)

(In the mean time, someone is showing off.)

(Surprisingly, Yang Sang Gook has a rather expensive hobby.)

More importantly, I can't swim.

Yes, In Young.

I...

leave on Wednesday,

and I am packing right now.

I want to pack early.

It's not Wednesday. It's tomorrow.

What did you say?

It's tomorrow.

(You are leaving tomorrow.)

You leave tomorrow.

Oh, my gosh!

(Oh, my gosh!)

Just hang up for now.

Okay.

(She is in a panic mode.)

Okay. First...

First, I'd better calm down.

My luggage will be a problem. I am embarrassed.

I can fit in there.

Like this.

(It's big enough to fit a person.)

I can go in here.

(She refers to the list of things to take...)

(Items Checklist)

(And begins to pack)

The most important thing...

is the tongue cleaner.

You must clean your tongue well.

Cleaning the tongue is very important to me.

I'd clean my tongue instead of my teeth if I had to choose.

- I am very obsessed with my tongue. - I see.

It's like putting my tongue in a washing machine.

A white tongue is unacceptable.

Finished.

(She finishes packing including the tongue cleaner.)

This is all.

(Considering the size of the bag, she doesn't have much.)

I've never seen a suitcase this empty...

in my life.

- Helynne. - Dad, you have to take bread.

- Bread? - Yes.

I'll have to pack Helynne.

Helynne, goodness.

There you go.

(He packs his youngest daughter instead of bread.)

(Dad, why are you doing this?)

Do you not want to go to the military?

My ID,

lotion and sunscreen.

(ID card, lotion, and sunscreen)

All complete.

(Lee Tae Sung holds a sorrowful solo concert.)

(With his talent seen on "King of Mask Singer,")

(he consoles himself and gets ready.)

(Yang Sang Gook sets off to Jinhae by train first.)

I'll be enlisted soon.

Have a good night.

I can't sleep.

I'll be sure to return as a more mature individual.

(Enlistment day)

(Arrive at Jinhae in Gyeongnam province by 8am.)

It's currently 2:23am.

Now, I must depart for Jinhae.

"Galaxy Express 999."

(Goodbye for now, my precious figurines.)

My 30th anniversary Gundams.

(Her father prepares something in the middle of the night.)

He is currently undressed.

I got scolded for filming him yesterday.

Don't film.

Don't do it.

He's always in his trunks.

(He sees his daughter out in his trunks.)

- Take care. - Okay.

(Until the car is out of sight,)

(he continues to gaze down the road.)

(Lee Si Young unpacks the package as soon as she gets in.)

(It's a pre-enlistment feast.)

I'm showing off my cooking skills.

I made bossam and other things. I kept it simple.

Thanks, Dad.

Eat up.

Dad packed me food.

I have watermelon,

(Peach, oriental melon, watermelon, corn)

peach and some oriental melon.

My dad grew them himself,

so they aren't tasty.

(So they aren't tasty.)

They're bland, but I have to eat everything.

If I don't, Dad will be upset.

(Tasting)

It doesn't taste like anything.

(Seo In Young leaves her house at the same hour.)

Hello.

Did you sleep well?

I think I slept 30 minutes total.

- It's... - This suitcase is so heavy.

Carrying it is already a training exercise.

- Suitcase... - All my suitcases are this big.

(All my suitcases are this big.)

(Gosh)

(The long road to enlistment cannot be avoided.)

I didn't sleep very well.

I think I went to sleep at 3am.

As far as I know,

Lee Si Young, Sol Bi...

and Seo In Young are coming.

We're all sleeping separately, right?

That's how it should to be.

Do we get the same training?

I'm worried.

I'm not worried about myself. I'm worried for them.

I've worked with two of them in dramas.

I did "Hooray for Love" with Seo In Young.

I did "Playful Kiss" with Lee Si Young.

I'm worried. If we receive the same training, they'll struggle.

I'm worried...

that the women won't be able to follow along.

Perhaps I'll have to...

lead them.

Since I am an athlete,

I might have to carry them on my back and run.

I'm wondering if that's how it's going to be.

(The fitness test is the first step to becoming Navy NCOs.)

One minute elapsed.

(The Korean Express shows off his top notch physical ability.)

(But)

A bit quicker.

(What?)

(Among the staggering male soldiers,)

(Lee Si Young takes the lead.)

(All the male soldiers are nervous.)

(Navy girl crush)

Why am I feeling so good?

Sang Ho, please play some music.

(Relaxed and composed)

I would say that I would do better if normal women were coming.

But they're all very strong.

(Trembling)

I'm not very sure if I'd perform better than them.

(The closer they get,)

(the thicker the aroma of the sea gets.)

(Sniffing)

I can smell the sea.

Do you smell it? The fishy smell.

There's flounder, hairtail, horaegi, black porgy...

and squid.

I think our meals will be seafood based.

Won't we have a lot of fish?

(It's a groundbreaking food show.)

- Can I have a bite? - Yes.

(She even finishes her colleague's food.)

It's all gone.

(Military food suits her, so she lets loose.)

- Halt. - Yes, Sir.

(Is she a eating champion?)

- I won't cry. - We're here. Oh my gosh.

- We're here. - Education and Training Command.

- This is interesting. - Training Command.

The people standing there are imposing.

What do I do?

I'm nervous.

Oh my gosh. What do I do?

Salute. It's the Navy Education and Training Command.

The Navy's tradition of victory...

begins at the Navy Education and Training Command.

Training is based on real combat situations.

It's the cradle of Navy education...

where the best sailors are produced.

I'll eat a chocolate.

(Quickly replenishing sugar)

I'm suddenly a bit nervous.

(The moment he enters)

(Screaming)

(He experiences extreme fear.)

(The one person you remember in such times is...)

Mom.

Yes?

- What? - I'm getting enlisted now.

What do I do? Mom, say something.

- I'm so scared right now. - Okay.

They won't kill you.

(I guess they won't.)

What shall I do?

Work hard and lose weight.

Lose weight?

(Taken aback)

It's not a place to lose weight and get pretty.

(Their willpower will be strengthened.)

(Chief Petty Officer Bae Gwang Hyeon awaits.)

Bye.

(The meeting time is 8am.)

I'm here.

(Sol Bi arrives at 7:40am.)

(The drill instructor...)

(doesn't miss the lost prey wandering about.)

Come here and stand.

(Intimidated)

I wondered why he was so angry.

I didn't have a clue about how to stand.

I didn't know anything,

so I tried to mimic his posture.

(I'll have my hands on my hips, too.)

Stand straight.

(What do you want me to do?)

(At that moment, Yang Sang Gook arrives.)

It's a disposable toothbrush.

I have sunscreen.

These are all I brought.

This is it.

(He has a very few things.)

Gosh, it's big.

(The best thing to prepare is himself.)

(She can't hide her excitement.)

(Bowing)

Stand straight at attention.

(The drill instructor's charisma is unmistakable.)

(Scared)

Yes, Mom.

I'm getting nervous now that I've arrived.

- Seo Ji Soo, you can do it! - Seo Ji Soo, you can do it!

I love you.

(She leaves the lovely cheering behind.)

Oh my gosh, what do I do?

Gosh.

- Take care. - Bye.

- Hello. - Yes.

- Hi, I'm Ji Soo from Lovelyz. - Hello.

- Pardon? - I'm Ji Soo from Lovelyz.

Nice to see you. It's nice to meet you.

What do I do?

Let's go.

(He has a soft spot for idols.)

(10 minutes before the meeting time)

(The Navy NCO cadets arrive one by one.)

Hello.

(They greet one another.)

I was surprised.

I was so happy to see Park Chan Ho.

I was very happy.

There was a Park Chan Ho baseball clinic for children.

They picked best prospect pitchers...

and Park Chan Ho came to train us.

- He was my idol back then. - Yes.

Let's go!

(He throws a rope instead of a baseball.)

(Wow)

(It's a test of baseball prowess.)

(Amazed)

Cadet Lee Tae Sung, 20-something metres.

Cadet Park Chan Ho, 20-something metres.

(Who will be the winner?)

(The time is now 7:55am.)

(He doesn't look happy.)

(There are only 5 minutes remaining.)

(Who's not here yet?)

(Jae Jung gets ready to exit the car.)

This isn't the place.

(This isn't it.)

This place isn't it?

Are we going to be late?

(Are we going to be late?)

We have to hurry. I have to go and introduce myself.

I'm the youngest. I can't be the last one to show up.

- Okay. I'm sorry. - I'll get slapped.

They won't slap me, right?

(He's merely 21 years old.)

(Shuddering)

Please, hurry.

Okay.

(His hands are clasped.)

(She can't believe how big her luggage is.)

This is the only luggage I have.

(This is the only luggage I have.)

It's extremely heavy.

I know it doesn't make sense.

(She tells everybody about her story.)

This is the only luggage bag I have.

(This is the only luggage I have.)

This is driving me crazy.

Pass the main gate and face the drill instructor.

(Pass the main gate and face the drill instructor.)

Over there?

I usually don't use honorifics.

What am I going to do?

All you need to do is be respectful, right?

Is it over there, Sir?

(I don't like the sound of that voice.)

(In Young and Julian arrive one minute before the meeting time.)

They're waiting. They're standing there.

They're standing there. I need to get off.

- I'm leaving. - See you.

Please put in a good word for me.

(She's glad to see him.)

(He hurries toward them.)

(Glaring)

(Everybody assembles by 8:01am.)

To my understanding,

your enlistment was at 8am.

Is this the kind of first impression you'd like to give me?

(Not really...)

Sit down!

(Sit down!)

(Hesitating)

Stand up!

(Startled)

(It gets serious from the beginning.)

Sit down! Stand up!

I like the way you're doing it. Sit down.

Everybody was...

penalized because of me. I felt so guilty.

I knew it has begun.

That's when it hit me. I was intimidated.

As soon as you enter the Navy Education and Training Command,

your identity changes from a civilian...

to a soldier. Am I understood?

- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!

NCO cadets who enter the Navy Education and Training Command...

will complete basic military training...

and become petty officers.

Afterward, they are trained for their specialties...

to become assigned to naval vessels as full-time crewmen.

Form a straight line and enter the bus to your right, understood?

- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!

Proceed.

(Robotic)

(Surprised)

(Chan Ho is worried that they'll be punished for taking their time.)

(They enter the reality of Navy NCOs.)

(There is tension in the air as they enter.)

(Her luggage bothers her.)

- Hello. - Hello.

(They finally get to exchange greetings.)

Hello.

(They each take a seat.)

(They categorize themselves by gender.)

(Is the gender mix making things awkward?)

(Or is it because they don't know one another?)

(The bus is silent.)

It was so awkward.

I felt uneasy.

I bet some people weren't even breathing.

I couldn't even hear them breathe.

(They head towards the NCO academy.)

You've never been in the military right, Jae Jung?

No, I haven't yet.

Is your new album out?

I released a single recently.

You're still single?

You're still single?

(Is that supposed to be funny?)

Singers don't release full albums these days.

- They release one song at a time? - Yes.

It's not as important as a solid single.

(That didn't work.)

(Snickering)

(It gets silent again.)

Once you disembark,

leave your belongings and follow the drill instructor, understood?

- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!

(Even when everyone is confused,)

(Chan Ho is driven as usual.)

We'll commence the enlistment ceremony.

Salute the commanding officer.

Salute the commanding officer!

- Salute! - Salute!

Salute!

(Captain Youn Hong Bae)

I welcome you for enlisting...

as Navy NCO candidates.

The navy is comprised of the most skilful...

NCOs who are experts in their respective roles.

Therefore, I hope that you overcome the arduous training regimen...

with a deep sense of pride.

I'll endure and persevere to become a great man, Sir!

Great job. Good luck.

I'll become the spear and shield that protect Korea's seas, Sir!

If the enemy invades us,

I'll defeat them...

and crush them all, Sir!

(Chuckling)

- Drown them! - Yes, Sir. Thank you!

- I'll do my very best, Sir. - Okay.

I'll return to society as a great soldier, Sir.

(Their time as Navy NCO cadets begins now!)

(Bumping)

(They stride along with pompous first steps.)

(The luggage still gets in her way.)

I'll take it.

Female cadets will enter this room.

(They finally enter the barracks.)

(They're wide-eyed.)

(It's their new home where they will rest after training.)

The ambiance was fitting for the navy.

In the army, you see a lot of green...

but in the navy, blue and white are common.

It definitely had a navy vibe.

Follow me.

(The women cadets are shown to their quarters.)

(Women quarters)

Enter.

(They've never been inside a barrack before.)

It was more spacious than I thought.

It was big enough to dance in.

It had bunk beds, and the room was large.

There was plenty of room for quality rest.

Form two lines and stand by. Am I understood?

- I'm confused. - I have no idea what he's saying.

He speaks fast.

Do we have to change first?

I don't think so.

They didn't tell us to.

Should we check next door?

(Should we check next door?)

- Should we? - Yes.

(Take the lead!)

(Peeking)

Look.

(They're as bold as the Marines' Force Recon Battalion.)

Be on the lookout.

Okay. Check there.

(Squabbling)

(Right as they're about to take peek,)

(they spot red from afar.)

(My goodness)

(Swiftly running)

(They can hear the footsteps.)

(Their hearts begin to pound.)

(The male Chief prepares to deploy discipline.)

He's coming.

(Sighing)

(This is the first obstacle...)

(for the Navy NCO cadets.)

(Tramping)

(Crunching)

(The instructor walks in with stiff disciplined movements.)

His posture is very imposing.

I realized that some people can be devoid of smiles.

I was just scared of him.

I couldn't guess his personality. He seemed scary.

He must have friends,

and he probably visits karaokes from time to time.

I just can't imagine him that way.

(You can't predict his personality.)

Step back.

Take three steps back. More!

(More!)

Sit down. Stand up. Sit down. stand up.

You're too slow!

(It's not easy in the beginning.)

(The female instructor enters as well.)

(Rigid)

She was also robotic.

The male instructor is the original robot,

and she came after him.

- Soldiers. - Yes, Ma'am!

That's not loud enough. Soldiers.

- Yes, Ma'am! - Yes, Ma'am!

I am Senior Chief Petty Officer Hwang Ji Hyeon...

of the First Navy NCO Training Corps.

Don't move.

Why would you move when I'm issuing commands?

Since 2014 to the present day,

I'm the first female chief petty officer in the Navy.

(Senior Chief Petty Officer Hwang Ji Hyeon)

I like strong women, so I think she's amazing.

She wasn't ordinary for certain.

(She takes pride as a female sailor.)

Why are you...

(She emits an aura like the raging sea.)

(She's the female chief of NCO academy.)

The NCO academy...

is a place that fosters NCO cadets who form the core of the Navy.

We'll make sure you become excellent soldiers,

- so follow along, understood? - Yes, Ma'am!

I never looked at her in the face.

I was staring at her belt the whole time.

I couldn't see her eyes so I was scared of her.

I was intimidated by her.

Collect your belongings and sit back down, understood?

- Yes, Ma'am! - Proceed.

- Proceeding! - Proceeding!

(They sit on their beds.)

(Her face turns cold.)

Form two rows in front of me and sit back down, understood?

Collect your belongings and form two rows in front of me, understood?

You're not loud enough, understood?

- Yes, Ma'am! - Yes, Ma'am!

Once I give you the order, sit down...

and unpack. Don't make too much noise. Proceed.

- Proceeding! - Proceeding!

(They split up again.)

(They keep going to their beds.)

I told you to sit down on the spot. Where do you think you're going?

While the women are overwhelmed by the female chief,

the men's side also looks bleak.

I'm Senior Chief Petty Officer Moon Sang Ho...

who trains NCO cadets.

(Senior Chief Petty Officer Moon Sang Ho)

Make sure you're the loudest you can be, understood?

- Understood? - Yes, Sir!

(Be the loudest you can!)

(They get an appearance inspection before the formal training.)

(Let's see.)

- Cadet Park Jae Jung. - Yes, Sir!

Is that your original hair color?

- Is that the original color? - No, Sir!

What is it?

(Shuddering)

- I'll fix it. - Stand up.

You're too slow. Sit down.

Stand up. Sit down.

I told you to do it as fast as you can...

but Cadet Park Jae Jung is not alert, yet.

Stand up. Sit down. Stand up. Sit down. Assume push-up position.

You're too slow.

Stand up.

- Get your hair dyed, understood? - Yes, Sir!

I don't like you from the beginning.

I've never met anyone who was disappointed in me at first sight.

I've had hand tremor for the first time in my life.

(He resumes the appearance inspection.)

Same applies to Cadet Kim Jung Tae.

Your hair does not meet the standard.

Make sure you shave right as well, understood?

(His lips move.)

Understood?

I shaved this morning, Sir!

Do it better, understood?

- Yes, Sir! - Understood?

Yes, Sir!

(Chief Moon Sang Ho doesn't compromise.)

(His footsteps sound threatening.)

- Cadet Park Chan Ho. - Yes, Sir!

- Did you shave? - Yes, Sir!

- Did you shave? - Yes, Sir!

Lift your chin.

(There you go.)

Make sure you shave all the way down. Shave it better.

- Understood? - Yes, Sir!

(Clapping)

(Turning)

(What?)

When the Chief walks toward you,

it sounds like a rattlesnake approaching you.

I can hear the rattle.

It's either he has beads in his boots...

or some sort of bullets.

His charisma was overpowering.

I'll commence the appearance inspection.

(Rubbing)

I thought she was hitting her.

She has this robotic stance,

and she was rough with her.

- Cadet Sol Bi. - Yes, Ma'am!

Why are you wearing a make-up?

I put on sunscreen.

Is this sunscreen?

(It's too colorful for sunscreen.)

Is this sunscreen?

I put on CC cream.

Why did you put it on?

It has the same effect as sunscreen.

Stop making excuses!

(Stop making excuses!)

I don't understood why she had make-up on.

She should have known better.

I didn't know...

she would rub the CC cream off.

That's when I started telling myself...

not to try to trick her.

Assume push-up position.

You're very quick. Recover position.

Assume push-up position.

Recover position.

Swift!

- What are you supposed to say? - Movements, Ma'am!

And why are you dressed like that?

Who told you to wear a sleeveless shirt to the training center?

You don't know the basics.

People around me told me to wear lightly.

I wore a sleeveless shirt because it's light,

and I wore jeans with it. I was trying to look neat.

I had no idea you couldn't wear a sleeveless shirt.

This is the navy training center which is one of the most strict.

- Yes, Ma'am! - Yes, Ma'am!

- Cadet Seo Ji Soo. - Yes, Ma'am!

Why are you not answering me?

- I'm sorry. - Stand up.

Sit down. Stand up. I like your volume.

(Is it good?) As loud as...

You can be!

- As loud as... - You can be!

Sit down.

Once I give you the command to sit down,

you must say, "Yes, I will sit down."

You must repeat those words, understood?

Why are you nodding, Cadet Seo In Young?

I nodded to show my understanding.

A soldier never moves at attention.

Even if you are sitting, it's as if you're standing. Understood?

Don't fidget or move.

Cadet Lee Si Young, are you sleeping?

- No, Ma'am! - Why are your eyes closed?

- Look ahead. - Yes, Ma'am.

I didn't know what I did wrong. What happened?

(She was considering this as a vacation.)

(She could smell the ocean.)

(She imagined the military to be rosy.)

Don't make excuses!

(She came to the wrong place for a vacation.)

(What happened to Waikiki she dreamed about?)

(The reality is a battlefield full of criticism.)

Get your act together, understood?

(Her notion of a vacation fades away.)

Once you're ordered, wash your face. Understood?

- Yes, Ma'am! - Proceed.

Proceeding!

(Rushing)

(She quickly washes away her beauty.)

- Cadet Seo Ji Soo. - Yes, Ma'am!

- Are you here for fun? - I'm sorry.

Are you here for fun? - I'm sorry!

Why are you wearing full make-up?

(Gloomy)

I knew it. She's an idol star.

She's an idol star, so she has to look good.

She didn't know it wasn't allowed.

I'll give you one minute to wipe off your make-up, understood?

- Understood? - Yes, Ma'am!

I like your volume, understood?

(Thank you)

Assume push-up position.

(Assume push-up position!)

(Does she mean she likes it or not?)

When she said she liked my volume,

I thought she meant it.

Later on, I realized what she said...

actually meant the contrary.

I like your volume, understood?

(Punishment follows her compliments.)

(It's hard to judge her actual thoughts.)

(Her use of sarcasm tricks the cadets.)

Keep it up.

(She's the sarcastic chief petty officer.)

I'll give you one minute...

to wipe your make-up off, understood?

- Understood? - Yes, Ma'am!

Stand up.

Run.

- That's one minute. - Yes, Ma'am!

(You need the attitude of a true soldier.)

(Strict military disciplines form a strong navy.)

NCO cadets.

- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!

Once I say, "Proceed," I'll give you exactly one second...

to gather your belongings...

and recover your position. Proceed.

(How many seconds?)

Proceed.

Halt.

When you are given an order,

make sure you complete it in the given time, understood?

- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!

How much time did I give you?

- One second, Sir! - One second, Sir!

Complete it in one second.

It was impossible.

Even if Usain Bolt tries, it won't work.

He's just trying to pick on us. How can he give us a second?

He's trying to make us alert...

by telling us to do the impossible.

(This is Chief Moon Sang Ho's training motto.)

(Swift movements)

(So he gives one second.)

(His punishments are beyond ordinary.)

(He's focused on speed.)

(He's the chief of timers.)

(With every passing second, the agony intensifies.)

From now on, collect all the items that are unnecessary.

- Proceed! - Proceed!

Repeat after me. Proceed.

- Proceed! - Proceed!

What is it?

- That... - Get everything.

Take everything out.

(He doesn't take questions that take more than one second.)

Take everything out. Open all the pockets.

(They take out items that are unnecessary in the military.)

Take everything out.

(They turn them in voluntarily.)

Cadet Kim Jung Tae, stand up.

(After the items are collected,)

Come forward.

(the Chief searches him with his hands.)

(In order to prevent danger,)

(he checks every pocket.)

(Patting)

Return.

I was going to be in trouble if I didn't turn everything in.

(He checks from the buttocks to the toes.)

(The search is as meticulous as airport checks.)

Return.

(This isn't enough.)

(Second stage search)

(Rummaging)

Health supplements? Didn't I tell you to turn it in?

Didn't I tell you before?

Get up.

Too slow. Sit down.

Get up. Sit down.

You're too slow. Assume push-up position.

Get up.

Assume push-up position.

- Cadet Kim Jung Tae. - Yes, Sir?

Are you ignoring my commands?

No, Sir.

- Are you? - No, Sir.

- Turn everything in, understood? - Yes, Sir.

- Understood? - Yes, Sir.

Turn everything in.

(He checks the Korean Express' belongings.)

What is this?

Why do you need this?

Why do you need this?

It's an autographed baseball, Sir!

Why do you need this?

(Why did he bring a baseball?)

- Why do you need this? - Well...

The last time I was enlisted,

Instructor Park Jun Yeon told me...

that he was my fan when he was in elementary school.

You did well.

You're my favorite baseball player since childhood.

I'm honored, Sir.

I'm honored, too.

His words stuck around.

I had a feeling that I'd be hearing that again.

I prepared a gift to give any prospective fans.

Get up. Sit down.

You're too slow. Get up.

Assume push-up position.

(The autographed baseball became a problem.)

- Cadet Park Chan Ho. - Yes, Sir.

- Do you need a ball to train? - No, Sir.

- You need an autographed baseball? - No, Sir.

Do you?

No, Sir!

I guessed he doesn't like Park Chan Ho.

(I guess he doesn't like Park Chan Ho.)

I guess he doesn't like baseball.

I'll give you two seconds to turn it in. Proceed.

(He counted his chickens before they hatched.)

(He seems a little disappointed.)

(He's my childhood role model.)

(He remembers an inspiring moment.)

I asked him for an autograph, but he refused.

(The signing event was over.)

I was hurt.

That was my first time asking for an autograph.

(Getting an autograph has been on his bucket list.)

(I want that autographed baseball.)

(After the thorough search...)

I'll give you three seconds...

to repack your things. Proceed.

- Proceeding. - Proceeding.

(They speed up as if their lives depend on it.)

(Quick and alert)

- In the women's barracks... - Unpack all your belongings...

and place them in front of your feet.

- Proceed. - Proceeding.

Move quickly.

I consider towels important.

I always put one on my pillow when I sleep.

(The suitcase the size of her body...)

(is full of towels.)

Whose is this? What is this?

Why did you bring food to the training center?

(Feeling dizzy)

I'm sorry, Ma'am.

- Cadet Lee Si Young. - Yes, Ma'am.

I was going to eat it beforehand but couldn't. I'm sorry, Ma'am.

What did I tell you about making excuses?

Then you should've thrown it out.

- Am I right or wrong? - You're right, Ma'am.

(While her colleague desperately struggles,)

(she rummages through her belongings.)

It's red ginseng, Ma'am.

(She turns in her red ginseng.)

You also seem unprepared for training.

You're very quick and loud.

I like what you're doing.

I'm sorry, Ma'am.

(It's the most chilling compliment ever.)

Keep it up.

(Try doing that again.)

(Her sarcasm terrifies them.)

When I order you to proceed,

place all contraband into the box.

Wallets, electronic devices, cellphones. Put everything in.

(Angry)

Where is your sense of teamwork?

(Where is your sense of teamwork?)

It's easier if someone holds the bag.

Are you only packing your own? Halt.

You'd finish faster if you helped one another.

Why are you working alone?

Work in pairs, understood?

- Yes, Ma'am. - Proceed.

- Proceeding. - Proceeding.

At first, I was very busy doing my own work.

I realized that in the military, it's all about teamwork.

Everything... Whose is this?

What is this? Whose is it?

- It's mine, Ma'am. - Why did you bring a hair roller?

(Cadet Sol Bi is the culprit.)

I brought it just in case my bangs became messy.

I didn't know that wasn't allowed.

- Cadet Sol Bi. - Yes, Ma'am.

Why did you bring this?

Why would you need a hair roller at a training camp?

Are you here to dress yourself up?

Or are you here to be treated as a woman?

Why aren't you answering, Cadet Sol Bi?

I didn't know it was there, Ma'am.

(I didn't know it was there, Ma'am.)

Didn't I tell you not to make excuses?

- You did, Ma'am! - Your belongings are your own.

If you don't know what's inside, who does?

(Her poor excuse makes her angrier.)

Am I supposed to know?

She scolded me for not explaining myself.

And when I did, I got scolded anyways.

I don't know how to react.

You can't make excuses at the training center, understood?

- Understood? - Yes, Ma'am.

Quickly pack your things. Proceed.

- Proceeding. - Proceeding.

Toothbrush and floss...

You may use toothbrush and toothpaste.

Speak loudly whenever you ask a question.

Is cash not allowed, Ma'am?

It's not allowed.

- Are pens allowed, Ma'am? - You'll be given one.

You'll be given one, so pack everything.

I meant a facial pack, Ma'am.

(It's a facial pack.)

You...

- Put it away. Isn't it obvious? - Yes, Ma'am.

- Are sleeping masks allowed, Ma'am? - No.

(Tossing)

- How about cotton pads, Ma'am? - No.

- Are they not allowed, Ma'am? - Yes.

Why do you need cotton pads?

- It's to apply skin toner. - No.

(Upset)

I resolved to follow all the rules before I enlisted.

I tried hard to leave out the items that I thought would be contraband.

Still, I was scolded so much that I felt like I was shrinking.

The same goes for accessories.

Put away all the accessories you are wearing.

You. Take them out.

Why is this necessary?

(A banana hair tie comes out of nowhere.)

Use your common sense.

Do you need this hair tie for training?

No, Ma'am.

Use your common sense, understood?

Yes, Ma'am.

Put it away quickly.

(It's a very thorough inspection of personal effects.)

What is this?

(What is this?)

It's a towel, Ma'am.

Did I tell you to keep the towels or not?

Cadet Seo In Young.

I didn't hear you clearly, Ma'am.

Your volume is great.

(Actually, she's quite bothered.)

Why do you have so many?

I'm sorry, Ma'am.

(They feel uneasy for some reason.)

Put everything in. Proceed.

- Yes, Ma'am. - Put it back.

Why aren't you replying?

Did you just realize?

Go out and assume push-up position.

(Go out and assume push-up position.)

(Her premonition proved correct.)

People call me a tough girl,

but truthfully, I'm not. The Chief is a strong woman.

She's a real tough woman.

She should've released "SSENUNNI."

I'll give you exactly three seconds, understood?

- Yes, Ma'am! - Get up.

Proceed.

Take off the shirt around your waist. Are you on vacation?

Yes, Ma'am.

We're going to change anyway, right?

I kept up my style.

I wanted the outfit to match a rock festival.

I can endure hard training, but I can't give up my style.

(This fashionista cannot get her hairstyle ruined.)

Will I be able to graduate?

I felt more and more suffocated.

Now, you will be given your supplies.

After, placing your legs apart,

pour out the contents inside the bag.

- Proceed. - Proceeding.

- Place your legs apart. - Yes, Sir.

Place your legs apart to differentiate your belongings.

(It's a traditionally used method to prevent supply loss.)

Now, you will check your supplies.

There should be an undershirt.

- Am I right or wrong? - You're right, Sir.

- Right? - Yes, Sir.

Fold the shirt into thirds.

Hangers must be 5cm apart.

After using the toilet paper, fold the end and tuck it in.

- Understood? - Yes, Sir.

Afterward, place it into the locker...

with this part facing in.

- Am I understood? - Yes, Sir!

Unused towels are placed on the upper drawer.

Your camouflage paint case goes in the front of the locker.

(The rules are stricter for NCOs.)

It must be tidy and neat.

Punctuality is key in the navy.

Organize your supplies...

then gather in 10 minutes. Understood?

- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.

- Proceed. - Proceeding.

(The timer begins.)

(Cadet Park Chan Ho begins organizing efficiently.)

My back hurts so much.

- I have a headache. - Gosh.

I hear the Navy...

is extremely tough on keeping time.

The Navy is all about punctuality.

- Yes. - Really?

Slow individuals must be urged to move quickly.

It allows us to move forward with ease.

- Does this go this way? - Yes.

- It's the other way. - The other side.

- It's the opposite. - It's the other side.

(He knows everything.)

How do we refer to one another?

- NCO cadet. - NCO cadet?

(I see.)

They'll assign you a number later.

Why are there separate white and blue underwear?

(Everyone is bewildered by the difficult question.)

Aren't these for men?

(He pretends like he doesn't hear him.)

The navy uniform is white, so it might show underneath.

I see.

(Tae Sung answers for Chan Ho.)

- We should rush. - Let's hurry.

(Chan Ho is saved from answering the question.)

At the same time, the women...

are busy organizing their supplies.

(She can't help but sigh.)

I don't remember.

I used up all my energy already.

I'm about to throw up.

Do you know how to roll the towel?

Fold it into a cylinder.

You're supposed to roll it.

You need to roll it and flip the end.

The end?

I don't know. Do whatever your want.

Let's stick to individual methods.

(Let's stick to individual methods.)

I think you are right about rolling it and flipping the end.

- It's 35 minutes past the hour. - What's this?

(It's one minute before deadline.)

(In Young stays behind and cleans up.)

(The chief petty officer arrives on the dot.)

Where is everybody?

(Startled)

Where is everybody?

They're changing...

(Startled)

(Then the rest of them returns.)

When were you supposed to assemble by?

- It's 35 past the hour, Ma'am. - What time is it?

It's 35 past the hour.

It's 36 past the hour!

(It's 36 past the hour!)

(Dropping)

It was odd. I couldn't control myself.

I became a fool in the military.

Why do I see your personal belongings on the floor?

(The chief petty officer explodes.)

(What will happen to these meek and intimidated ladies?)

(Next week)

I'll make sure you don't blink, understood?

Are you joking with me?

I'm missing a name tag, so I can't, Sir!

Do you want to stand out?

Are you being a rebelling?

One!

- This is... - Stop.

- Get back. - Yes, Sir.

What were you cleaning?

You'll breathe this in!

Do you have the mindset of an exemplary cadet?

She's incredible.

(Chan Ho versus Si Young, who'll be the winner?)

(Their limits are tested.)

Don't shrug your shoulders.

- Yes, Ma'am! - Yes, Ma'am!
