(Cool waves welcome people...)

(at the relaxing beach.)

(Which place did the Iron Girls visit?)

(Cheering)

Hello.

Hello.

(Making a big fuss)

(The Iron Girls are especially excited.)

- Hello. - This is great.

- Isn't it like a foreign country? - Yes.

We're in a foreign country.

Welcome to Phuket.

- It's my first time in Phuket. - I love it.

(Iron Girls in Phuket, Thailand)

(The center of Southeast Asia, Thailand)

(Phuket is a vacation spot that represents Thailand.)

(What are the Iron Girls doing in Phuket?)

It's so cool.

We aren't in Korea.

- Isn't it great to be at the sea? - It's totally cool.

We really are in a foreign country.

It's totally cool.

- Aren't we going to play? - What?

Aren't we going to play?

(That's right. We came all the way to Phuket.)

This is what I want to tell you guys.

We came here to play. Why are we here?

(Will it be the first vacation for the Iron Girls?)

We came here to play,

but you might run out of breath a bit.

You might put something on your hands.

You might put something on like gloves.

But you can play.

However, you have 10 days until your 1st competition.

Your 1st competition is in 10 days.

I'm scared.

- Okay. Let's just train. - That's right.

The thing is, Phuket...

- is well-known for Muay Thai. - Yes.

Thus, the sports infrastructure is great.

Athletes from all over the world come here.

Many martial arts athletes come here.

(When you think of Phuket, the emerald-colored beaches...)

(and the relaxing atmosphere of a vacation come to mind.)

(But there's a different side of Phuket.)

(Thanks to the weather that's warm all year round...)

(and good sports infrastructure, )

(Phuket is the go-to place for off-season training...)

(for martial arts athletes around the world.)

(Captain Dong Hyun visits the place often for training.)

Athletes set up a camp before a competition.

- "A camp?" - We need to train hard...

and have a good match.

Thus, the theme of this Phuket trip will be the Iron Boot Camp.

"Boot camp?"

(Boxers around the world...)

(challenged the Iron Girls.)

(With only 10 days remaining until the competition, )

(they will have their last full sparring.)

(There's no place to escape.)

(What will be the result of the fierce match?)

(And who is the special coach who visited them?)

(Is this a dream or reality?)

No way!

Will I be in the ring with her?

Am I ready for this?

(A meeting with a world-class boxer is coming soon.)

With the mindset of preparing for a war,

you must participate in the Iron Boot Camp.

Let's just train.

Iron Girls never give up!

That's right. Can you do well?

- Victory is ours! - Yes.

- Let's go! - Okay. That's good.

But what's up with your outfit today?

Are you going to plant rice?

- Rice planting. - Are you?

Sae Rok, your outfit stands out.

Please.

I thought we were going to farm.

- Is that so? - Yes!

Is there a reason why your socks are blue?

Wearing the color of my passion, blue,

I'll defeat the opponent in the red team!

- You'll destroy the red team? - Yes.

Here's the red team!

(The red cornder is here.)

(I'll defeat her.)

That's great.

- Captain Uie. - Yes!

What do you think?

Just give us food!

Tasty food!

I want to eat pu pad pong karee!

Same here!

As soon as you complete the mission,

tasty food will be provided at all times.

- All right! - Let's go!

Now, to the training location!

Let's move!

- Let's move! - Let's move!

Let's go!

- Run! One, two. - One, two.

One, two.

You aren't here to play.

We aren't here to play.

We aren't here to play, but we can be in a good mood.

Let's do this.

(What?)

- What's that? - What? What is it?

- What's that flag? - What?

(A mysterious skull flag)

What's that?

- Someone is standing there. - What?

- Who is that? - What?

(Who is standing there?)

- Who is that? - What?

Who is that?

Be faster, guys!

Let's go! Run!

- Be faster, guys! Let's go! Run! - I feel like we should run.

But she's a foreigner.

I feel like we should run.

Faster!

- Faster! - Faster!

- Run! - What's this?

(Why are there tires?)

What's this?

(There are tires with rope...)

(and equipment that shouldn't be on the beach.)

(Something doesn't seem right.)

What's this?

(What's this?)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(Her charisma makes them stutter due to nervousness.)

Hi, my name is Jibby.

I'm a head coach at the Pirate Camp.

- "Pirate Camp?" - "Pirate Camp?"

What's this?

(Have you heard of exercising abroad?)

Pirate Camp is a famous exercise program...

that takes place on the beaches of Phuket.

To participate in this camp,

fitness enthusiasts from all over the world...

come to Phuket.

(An extreme exercise program for the global fitness enthusiasts)

It's a fun program,

so the Iron Girls have to participate.

I'm scared.

Do you know why you're here today?

I want you guys to experience it today.

- We're in trouble. - Excited?

- We're in trouble. - Excited?

- Yes! - Yes!

Let's go.

Hold on. If I remember correctly,

a coach who speaks Korean is coming.

- Who? - Really?

Please come on in.

(Where?)

The coach who speaks Korean is here.

All right.

(Taking out)

(Putting on the pirate do-rag)

The coach who speaks Korean is here.

- Welcome. - Yes.

Welcome.

A big surprise.

- Yes. - I'm a coach.

I opened a gym in Phuket.

(The Cicada Gym opened in Phuket.)

I like the Cicada Gym.

- It's good, right? - Yes.

I'll assist Coach Jibby and join the program.

- Okay. - All right. Let's go.

People will come and join you guys.

Is another team coming?

- Hold on a second. - Players, come on in.

Pirates, let's go!

(Oh, my)

Oh, my gosh.

- Run! - Oh, my gosh.

(Many healthy and muscular people enter.)

Look at their bodies.

(Sae Rok freezes and In Ah chuckles.)

- Hold on. - Gosh.

- Hello. - Hi.

It's so global.

How cool.

(These incredible people signed up for the Pirate Camp themselves.)

They're so fit.

- There's Aquaman too. - Yes.

(There's someone who looks like Aquaman.)

You participated in the fitness race...

- last time. - Yes.

This is the circuit training with similar vibes.

- Will we go around? - It's the circuit training.

The second is core training.

- A core training. - Also,

two people will make up a team.

If you're exhausted,

you can switch places with your teammate.

- There's a time limit. - Okay.

If you make it back on time,

you'll receive a gold medal.

- Yes. - I love that idea.

- Seriously, - Real gold?

It'll be like real gold.

- Okay. - Seriously.

That sounds good.

- I want it. - Okay.

(Pirate Camp)

(Circuit training)

All right. Let's begin the circuit training in earnest.

- Okay. - That's good.

As you can see,

there are four sections,

- A, B, C, and D. - Okay.

Each section has three missions,

and...

you need to complete them in all four sections.

(They must complete all 4 courses.)

Let me explain the first one, Course A,

Run 200m while pulling a tire.

What?

(Running 200m while pulling a tire)

Start from the point with the flags.

You'll see flags in a distance.

Make a round trip.

Two members will pull a tire together.

Okay.

Then there's doing 60 deadlifts while holding a 16kg kettlebell.

Hold on. Did he say 60?

Then there's doing 60 burpees.

Touch the ground with your chest and do a standing jump.

No.

How will we do 60 burpees?

Then you'll be done with Course A.

And the second course...

Wait. Time out.

This is a fun exercise. What's that look on your face?

I just finished explaining the first one, Course A.

The look on your face...

You looked happy when you were warming up earlier.

Your face suddenly fell.

Guys, we have...

ten days until the competition.

This training will come in handy...

during the competition.

Also,

we took a six-hour flight to come here.

- That's right. - Let's make it worthwhile.

- Okay. - Let's do our absolute best.

(Course B)

(Course C)

(Course D)

That was a work of art.

This is the most needed training for boxing.

If you complete all missions in 35 minutes,

(The cutoff time: 35 minutes)

you'll receive a gold medal.

We can switch if we get a bit tired.

Divide into teams as you guys want.

Let's do it differently from the fitness race.

- Differently. - Then we're together.

- We're together. - Is this okay?

- That was easy. - Yes.

The two members who are standing together will be a team.

- Are you ready? - Are you ready?

- Yes! - Yes!

Okay.

I want to do it too. It's too bad.

They put the rope around the shoulder.

Stand by.

We start in ten seconds.

Ten seconds.

(Nervous)

All right. Let's move it.

Are we ready?

- Yes! - Yes!

I can do it! We can do it!

(Iron Girls'...)

(first training...)

(abroad)

Let's go.

(Running 200m while pulling a tire)

Let's go.

(They run at full speed.)

One straight line, guys. Let's go. Parking it there.

(They run as they pull a tire across the beach in Phuket.)

(It's the best feeling.)

Amazing.

That's good.

(They quickly pass the halfway point.)

Ju Hyun, are you okay?

I'm okay.

(They work with their partners...)

(and run energetically.)

- We're done. - Very good.

(They finish the first mission quickly.)

Next.

Shall I go first?

All right. Check the reps for each other.

Do it for your teammate.

(Do deadlifts with a 16kg kettlebell.)

(It's the training for strengthening the core.)

One,

two,

three, four...

(She maintains the pace she had in the beginning.)

Uie, will you do all of them? Let's do ten reps each.

You can do the burpees.

Get ready for the burpees.

Six...

(This is the class of Stamina Queen.)

In Ah, that's a great form.

You're doing it with the correct form.

(She has the perfect form.)

(In the other team, In Ah is doing the reps first.)

Sae Rok, get some rest.

We're doing burpees next.

(Leave the 16kg kettlebell to Strong In Ah.)

In Ah.

Jump.

Jump a bit.

- Three. - Jump a bit.

Let's do ten each.

One.

(Doing 60 burpees)

(Ju Hyun does the burpees first.)

Five.

(When Ju Hyun gets tired, Uie switches places with her.)

(Grunting)

(Breathing hard)

Three.

(In Team Sae Rok and In Ah, )

(Exclaiming Rok begins with the burpees.)

- Five. - Five each.

(They switch places after 5 burpees.)

(They proceed with Course A without a hitch.)

Look over there.

The first team began Course B.

The second team began.

Next one.

When you finish your burpees, let's go.

Let's go.

- Go! - Let's go.

(Ju Hyun sets off with the treasure chest.)

Go together. Take turns frequently.

Treasure.

In Course B,

you will run 200m, carrying a 15kg treasure chest...

on your shoulder.

(Running 200m carrying a treasure chest)

Squat 80 times holding the 15kg treasure chest.

(Squatting 80 times holding a treasure chest)

Third, do 80 lunges while alternating legs.

You usually work out with sandbags or dumbbells,

so carrying a box like this...

makes you use different muscles than usual.

So this type of training can be helpful.

Slow down.

We're not in a rush.

Do you want me to carry it?

Give me that.

This is really heavy.

(It's okay. I'm the Stamina Queen.)

- Ju Hyun, follow me. - Uie.

(Running fast, following along)

- You're really fast. - Let's do this.

She still has a lot of energy left.

(Getting to the halfway point quickly)

Do you want to switch?

No. Help me put this on my shoulder.

What?

I think it will be harder this way.

No, this is better.

- Uie, give it to me now. - No, we're almost there.

- Are we? - We're here.

(As expected, Uie is the tireless Stamina Queen.)

(She's carrying it for over 100m on her own.)

(Smiling broadly as if it is not hard at all)

(Another person who is running with a smile)

- Good job. Come on. - Go with her.

(The 15kg chest is heavy even for Strong In Ah.)

Switch. All right?

Can you carry it?

It's easier with it on your shoulder.

It will be hard that way. Just do it.

(They switch at the 100m point.)

- Good. - Come on.

You're doing well.

Will you carry it on your head? Not on the head.

- My goodness. - Head?

(Lifting it over her head)

Watch your head.

(But it looks like...)

(A mother carrying a snack to a farm?)

(Perfect K-labor style)

Good.

Your head...

Oh, no.

(Throwing it down due to exhaustion)

It's easier to carry it on your shoulder.

Okay?

(I will carry it no matter what.)

Carrying it with your fingers is harder.

You are using only the difficult ways now.

- Switch. - Give it to me.

No.

(Rocky Keum never gives up.)

- Let's go! - We're almost there.

- Let's go, girl. Come on. - Come on.

(She grits her teeth and finishes the course.)

- Good. - There you go.

(She squats without stopping, while holding 15kg.)

(Squatting 80 times holding a treasure chest)

Sae Rok's legs are stronger now.

She was too weak to lift things like that before.

Her legs have gotten stronger.

- Six, seven. - Good.

You're doing well.

We are ten minutes in, guys.

- Ten minutes in. - Eight.

- We have 24 minutes left. - She's gotten stronger.

- Good. Let's do it one more time. - Okay.

It's 60. The last one.

Good. You're doing well.

- Beautiful. - Let's go.

All right. Squat 80 times.

(Glancing)

Perfect.

(Holding a 15kg box in her arms, )

(she maintains perfect posture.)

Nine.

- Ten. - Ten.

You're almost there.

(While In Ah doing squats)

(Look at her.)

Why are you smiling?

Good. Uie, you are the best.

(The crazy Stamina Queen is happy doing squats.)

- She's not tired yet. - Four.

I'm tired.

I'm tired but happy.

Nine.

(Uie is happy when she works out.)

Five, six.

- Two, three. - She's doing lunges now.

(Doing 80 lunges holding a treasure chest)

- Let's go. - Five.

You can do this.

Why are you smiling?

You are unbelievable.

In Ah and Uie are strong.

Let's go.

- You got this. Keep going. - Let's go.

- You can do it. - Good.

(The muscle people from all over the world are enjoying the workout.)

It does feel like I'm in a foreign country.

(The people who flew in from all over the world to do this.)

Awesome.

Go.

Come on. Push.

(They truly love exercise.)

Eight!

(Mad Uie is happy.)

Okay.

- Yes. Go. - Okay.

(She starts Course C right away.)

- I'm fine with this. - You are?

You can just walk.

(She's happy carrying an 11kg dumbbell.)

- I'm a strong girl. - You're strong.

I'm a weak girl. I'm weak.

Go a little faster.

(Running 200m carrying a dumbbell)

Come on.

- One, two, three, four. - A little to the left.

- Thirty. Thirty-one. - I'm so tired. Mom.

(Clapping 100 times while doing a plank)

Ju Hyun must be tired.

- Uie is too good. - One, two.

(Next to the Stamina Queen who never feels tired)

- She is a monster. - In front of Uie...

Do you need a break?

- Are you all right? - Yes.

(It's hard, but they never give up.)

- Eight, nine. - You're almost there.

Forty. One.

One.

(Lifting and lowering a dumbbell 100 times)

- Just do five more. - Good.

- You need 16 and again. - Six.

One more.

- Six. - That's enough.

Stop it.

- Hey. Stop it. - That's enough.

(Ju Hyun tries her best not to burden Uie.)

Uie, for this course, you should keep up with Ju Hyun's pace.

Of course.

You're such an amazing person.

Why? I'm fine.

I would've told you if I were too tired to do it.

You're unbelievable.

Instead, I'm not good at things that require strength.

I can feel that you are doing your best now.

You are working out your lower body a lot today.

You all will get sore muscles today.

(Lifting a medicine ball 40 times)

(Strong Girl Park Ju Hyun tries her best to lift a 10kg ball.)

Come on. Very good.

- It's been 25 minutes. - Yes.

- Let's take turns. - That's do it.

(Throwing a medicine ball 40 times)

Good. That might be better.

You can do this, Ju Hyun.

- We can do this. - Up.

Do you want me to do the rest?

No.

Let's do it together until the end.

- Okay. - Really good.

- We can do this. It's almost over. - Seven.

(While helping each other, they are about to finish it.)

Eight!

- Yes! - There you go!

- Nine! - Okay. The last one.

Last. Forty.

- Ten! - Okay!

(Uie and Ju Hyun finished the course in 27 minutes and 34 seconds.)

(Meanwhile, Sae Rok and In Ah are also about to finish it.)

Thirty-seven.

- Okay. - You can do this!

(Sae Rok is exhausted from the intense training.)

(She is squeezing out every last bit of her strength.)

Stop.

(Strong In Ah steps up when Sae Rok is tired.)

- Stay balanced. Yes. - Eighteen.

(The medicine ball is 10kg.)

- Nineteen. - Control your stamina.

Twenty. Let's go.

- Two, three. - Three, four.

(Pulling it off flawlessly, without losing her posture.)

Let's go.

Twenty-four.

(She always keeps a smile on her fece.)

Twenty-five. Pay attention. Are you okay?

(After In Ah putting in all her strength)

Cheer them up, guys. They are nearly there.

(Giving it her all)

- Let's go. - Come one. Upwards.

(It's finally the last course, throwing a medicine ball 40 times.)

- Twenty-four. Ready. One. - Sit down.

(Staggering)

Twenty-seven.

(Throwing the medicine ball down like a boxing punch)

Twenty-nine.

This will pay off in a match.

Thirty. Ten more.

(Flopping)

Let's go! You can do this!

- You can do it, Sae Rok. - Come on.

- Thirty-six. Go. - You got this.

Thirty-seven.

- Three more. - Three.

Thirty-eight.

Thirty-nine.

- Forty. - Yes!

(Sae Rok and In Ah finished it in 31 minutes and 15 seconds.)

You got this!

We should take a photo of In Ah lying on the ground.

(Sae Rok and In Ah poured out all their strength.)

Look at In Ah lying on the ground.

It's the most exhausted expression I've ever seen on her face.

(Crawling)

Thank you.

Well done.

You didn't give up.

You didn't give up.

Alright.

(They finished within the time limit with a boxer's spirit.)

Good job.

Finished?

- One more. - Finish!

- One more? Oh, gosh. - Finish!

- Go. One more. - Finish.

We'll die.

You're evil.

It's not my problem.

(Laughing)

Okay. The last one.

- Easy? - Very easy.

She says it's very easy.

Ready for a six-pack?

- Yes! - Yes. Let's go.

We will do it in the water.

What? What is going on?

All right. Sit down.

- Sit here? - One line. Let's go.

My goodness. What are we doing?

(Sitting facing the sea, they feel great.)

- Good. - Yes!

(Just looking at the beautiful waves makes them feel refreshed.)

This training session...

is available only in Phuket.

This is the best.

(The beach of Phuket is perfect for training.)

Guys, are you glad that you came to Phuket?

- Yes! - Good.

Okay. We have only three movements, guys.

- I want arms around arms. - What?

Everybody, lie down.

(Core Training 1: Lying down, arm in arm)

(It starts with the cool waves.)

Oh, my gosh.

It must be cool.

And kick.

- Kick. - My gosh.

(Kicking while tightening the core)

One, two, three, four, five,

- six, seven... - The water is coming!

(While being hit by the waves, )

(they strengthen their core muscles.)

(The chaotic kicking is over.)

All right.

Synchronized sit-up.

- Oh, my gosh. - When I say, "Down,"

you go down.

- Down. - Together?

Together?

Down.

Up.

Down.

(Down)

- Up. - One.

Down.

(Synchronized sit-up, )

(where no one can slack off)

- Up. - Four.

(Strengthning the core muscles all together)

Up.

(The sense of unity strengthens as much as their core muscles.)

Last one. Up.

(The sense of unity strengthens as much as their core muscles.)

- Yes! - Okay.

Oh, my gosh.

This is like a training session for Special Forces like UDT.

This is really fun!

- It's so much fun. - I know.

When else will I ever get to do something like this?

High plank.

Keep your arms straight.

Raise them.

(Screaming)

This is great.

(They hold the plank position until everyone passes through.)

Go.

You have to hurry...

to make things easier for the other people.

(Groaning)

This is hard.

(Core training and ranger training at the same time)

- Go. - Get closer.

Closer.

(Attacked by the waves)

You have to keep going.

You have to keep going.

(Spitting water)

Keep going.

(Ju Hyun also struggles against the waves.)

You got this!

We have to win the match!

- You can do this. - What is this?

- You can do this. - My gosh.

You can do this, Park Ju Hyun!

You can do this, Uie!

You should get closer.

You can do this!

(Splash)

Let's knock our opponents out!

- Three. - Three.

- Two. - Two.

- One. - Yes.

(The Pirate Camp is over.)

This is like Special Forces.

That was so cool.

Thank you, guys.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Phuket is nice.

I love Phuket.

Hey, guys. Well done today.

We have...

a surprise!

(We have medals.)

Everybody is a winner!

(Yes, it's a medal!)

- You're the winner. - Thanks.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

I love medals.

I like medals.

- Thank you. - Medal!

(They share the joy...)

(of finishing the course with their colleagues.)

So the training is over.

It was a training session available only in Phuket.

I was even jealous of the trainees here.

I could see your desire to exercise during the training.

In the ring, I fight alone.

But I could be with other people during the training,

- which made me really happy. - Okay.

It felt like such a special training session,

so I was really excited.

- Thank you so much. - You got the energy.

I loved working out...

early in the morning...

on my first visit to Phuket.

When else would I get to work out with such a great coach?

It was a lot of fun.

It was really fun.

- KO! - KO!

- Iron! - Iron!

- Girls! - Girls!

(KO Iron Girls)

- Thank you. - Thank you.

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

(The intense first training session is over.)

We haven't had a single meal in Thailand yet.

That's true.

This is our first meal in Thailand.

I want to know...

- what we are going to eat, Captain. - This place...

is beloved by exercise enthusiasts.

- I see. - That's because...

it offers a lot of dishes that exercise enthusiasts love.

- Healthy food. - Really?

Healthy food.

The restaurant is totally different.

(Healthy food?)

You know people who are crazy about workouts.

They are called...

- workout enthusiasts. - Yes.

Workout enthusiasts love this place.

- This place? - Because...

Are you sure we're going to eat?

Of course. We're going to eat.

We're not going to build muscles, are we?

Not at all.

We're here.

(They've arrived at the place beloved by workout enthusiasts.)

Shall we go?

(Heading to the restaurant with the atmosphere of Phuket.)

It looks different already.

It does feel exotic.

This street is very famous.

Really?

(This street lined with shops is a famous attraction in Phuket?)

- All the people here... - Yes?

- are very muscular. - Right.

Look. There's a topless man.

People walk around without a shirt on here.

Why?

All the places here are like a gym.

Here and there.

(What is this unusual street?)

The name of this street...

is Soi Ta-iad.

There are a lot of gyms on this street.

(It's called the Fitness Street.)

All the places over there are gyms.

There are huge gyms.

There are many different kinds of gyms.

(There are a variety of gyms here.)

They are all gyms,

and they are huge.

(World-class large-scale gyms)

A lot of athletes from around the world visit this place,

so it has become a street for athletes.

When people come here for vacation,

they usually stay for a month.

- Just to work out? - Just to work out.

That's amazing.

(Gyms lined up along the street)

Those who are crazy about sports...

come here to work out and rest.

- My gosh. - Gloves.

Look at the sporting goods.

This place is for physical treatments.

(There are also sports injury clinics.)

This place has everything related to workout.

That's true.

I can see why people who love working out com here.

- This neighborhood is interesting. - Right?

Do you see the poster on your left?

There are always Muay Thai matches.

- Really? - Muay Thai?

- Are they real matches? - They have...

Muay Thai matches every week.

The place in front of you...

is for conditioning.

- What is this? - Like the CrossFit you tried.

This is where you train for fitness races.

(This is the gym for fitness races, which the Iron Girls tried before.)

Hi.

(Maximum inner intimacy)

Burn!

Let's burn!

Even the cafe...

- sells protein shake here. - Look. Protein shake.

- Protein ball. - Protein ball.

(Even the menu feels healthy.)

The ice cream shops sell protein.

Really?

- You're right. Froyo. - Protein.

(This is their first time seeing protein ice cream.)

We can have protein for dessert later.

This is a pharmacy.

There are a lot of pharmacies.

Look. There's protein.

I somehow don't like this neighborhood.

- There's a fruit shop. - You can get injured.

A fruit shop.

It's healthy.

Protein shake.

(It's a protein shake store that pretends to be a fruit store.)

This place is crazy for workouts.

I think we can call it the protein street.

Can we try the protein shake?

We can.

Look here.

They have all kinds of protein here.

- Smoothie. - I've never seen...

that sells so many kinds of protein before.

Do you want to try one?

I think you can choose a flavor.

It says flavors here.

It sounds delicious.

(It sounds delicious.)

Mixed berry milk yogurt honey with protein.

- This... - How much?

Isn't this a toy?

Is it sleeping like this?

(The cat is napping peacefully.)

The cat is sleeping in a Muay Thai pose.

It's a Muay Thai pose.

It's so cute.

What kind of cat is that?

(Even the cat looks extraordinary in the fitness street.)

He puts ice in it.

(They get up, curious about Phuket-style protein shakes.)

(Appetizing fresh fruit)

(They put in milk and ice.)

(One scoop of protein instead of syrup)

He adds the protein.

(Mixed berry and mango protein shakes are done.)

- Thank you. - My gosh.

Try it.

It looks delicious.

(Expectant)

(Captain tries a cool sip first.)

How is it?

It's nice.

It's nice. It tastes good.

(In Ah tries it after Captain.)

What's with her face?

It tastes good.

- My gosh. - It has the taste of protein.

(It's somewhat strange.)

It is good,

but it just tastes like protein.

Isn't that nice?

- It's healthy and tasty. - Their faces look funny.

You should be happy about this.

All right. I'm happy.

(They force a smile, knowing it's good for their health.)

It's not bad.

Enjoy it.

- Okay. - Where's the restaurant?

We're almost there.

Look here. This place looks nice.

I bet this place is famous.

All right. This is the restaurant we're going to.

- What? - Yes.

It's the best. Let's go.

- Finally. - We're finally here.

Look.

(They are excited to eat.)

I like it.

- Finally. - It looks delicious.

- Where do we sit? - It's clean.

- It's clean. - Finally.

- It must be delicious. - Here.

Sit here.

- I'm hungry. - Yes.

- The food we are going to eat... - Okay.

The main dishes are here.

The name is...

muscle meals.

So...

(Even the name is muscle meals?)

So, the dishes we're going to eat are...

- What's special is... - Yes.

That you can choose what you want.

On your plate...

You can choose a sauce and a protein.

It also says...

how much carbohydrate it contains.

So you can choose what you want.

(They can choose based on its mutritional information.)

(Carbohydrates, fat, protein)

(A muscle meal is packed with healthy ingredients.)

When you try it,

you will think, "This is healthy and delicious."

Choose what you want here. And there's more.

Look.

- Here, there's pasta. - Pasta.

- Can we have pasta? - Look at this.

This is bolognese.

- It contains 38g of protein. - That's amazing.

- I want to try it. - I bet it tastes like protein.

They also have pancakes.

- You can have pancakes. - I want pancakes.

- But it's protein pancakes. - But it's protein pancakes.

(Feeling faint)

No more protein.

These pancakes have 42g of protein.

I'm getting sick of it.

They've got it all. Shrimps...

(Captain Kim)

What is it?

I was looking forward to eating pad Thai.

Or green papaya salad.

- Stir-fried morning glory. - We're going to eat all of that.

But we worked out a lot this morning.

We trained excruciatingly hard.

So we have to eat healthy protein...

and healthy vegetables first.

We'll eat the tasty food later.

- I promise. - You’ll guarantee that we can eat?

Yes, 100 percent.

- Okay. - All right.

Choose what you want to eat.

We'll share.

It kind of feels as if...

we're at a protein theme park.

Everything here has protein in it.

It's like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

- This is the Protein Factory. - Right.

Cicada Kim's Protein Factory.

- It's all protein. - What a unique neiborhood.

- I feel like we'll reach our limit. - This is too much protein.

Even if it's healthy for us...

The thing is,

a lot of people think this is plenty of protein,

but actually, it's not enough...

- for athletes. - So how much is enough?

On average,

people should consume about 0.8g of protein per kilogram of body weight.

And athletes...

should consume 1.2g to 2g of protein per kilogram of body weight.

So if you're 50kg,

you have to consume 100g of protein.

Let's say you have 200g of chicken breast.

People tend to think there's 200g of protein,

but actually there's only 30g to 40g of protein.

(The protein content is lower than they expected.)

And our bodies don’t absorb all the protein we eat.

- Right. - So we have to eat a lot more.

I can do that.

Captain, why do we have to eat protein?

I don't know why.

As we age, protein is the most important nutrient in our bodies.

When we lose muscle, we get injured easily.

It's not good for our health either.

So increasing protein intake is recommended for the elderly.

I should bring my mom and dad here.

- You think they'll like it? - I'll bring my mom, dad,

grandmother, and grandfather to Protein Street.

I don't think they'll enjoy it.

We're ten days away from the match.

Are you all eating healthy?

In Ah keeps texting me.

She keeps asking me if her diet is okay.

- She's very anxious about it. - I get it, though.

I didn't realize at first,

but the joy and sorrow felt by...

those of us who have to lose weight and those who don't...

is really different.

I told you that people get stressed over just a couple of kilograms.

- I'm like that right now. - Losing 2kg is stressful.

And this is my secret tip.

(Captain Kim has a secret tip for losing weight?)

You know how you don't have an appetite when you wake up?

And how you don't have an appetite when your workout is over?

- That's when you have to eat. - But I can't.

When you eat your meals then,

you can force yourself to eat healthy.

It's easier to control your appetite.

But when you eat when you're hungry,

not even athletes can control their appetites.

You really sound like an expert.

So impressive.

I'm a true athlete.

Okay.

(Their long-awaited first meal in Phuket is finally here.)

- This looks good. - Those are tofu.

- Thank you. - This looks so good.

This looks so good.

This looks so appetizing. It's an actual meal.

This looks so nice.

(A special meal for the Iron Girls who did hard training)

I ordered chicken,

sweet potatoes, and steamed vegetables.

I ordered beef, potatoes, and steamed vegetables.

I ordered bolognese, brown rice, and steamed vegetables.

I ordered beef bolognese, brown rice, and steamed vegetables.

If you worked out hard, go ahead and eat.

(With bolognese pasta that contains 38g of protein)

- Gosh. - Enjoy your food.

(How does the food taste?)

- This looks good. - I love this.

I'm so happy.

I'm so curious about the protein spaghetti.

Right. This one.

(Taking a huge bite)

(Delicious)

(In Ah takes a bite too.)

(She also tries the sauce.)

Try this.

(The captain slurps on his food.)

(Delicious)

(Mouth open wide)

This is good.

- Have some more. - I want to try some.

This is so good.

(She didn't expect the healthy food to have such a rich flavor.)

- It's good. - It is.

Seriously, this is so good.

(Now, let's try the muscle-building food.)

(They each try the dish they chose.)

(Delicious)

Is it good?

Gosh, this is nice.

(The food tastes so good that In Ah can't help but move her body.)

(Delicious)

(She dips the juicy shrimp in the sauce.)

- I want to learn how to make this. - The camp was...

(Eyes open wide)

Even the carrot tastes good.

I'm telling you. It can be tasty just the same.

(They wordlessly exclaim in awe.)

(Delicious)

It's been a while since we all ate together, right?

- Yes. - It's been a while.

But it's nice to see that you still eat a lot.

It feels like I'm eating with...

my fellow professional athletes.

I haven't eaten enough.

You have to eat good to use your strength.

If you don't, your performance won't be good.

This is so good.

- Thank you. - Are you done with this?

- What? - You guys look like you starved.

(They order more food right away.)

(Menu added, plus 3)

More food?

- For you. - There's more.

At this point, you're eating more than the athletes on my team.

Seriously.

When I get food with the younger athletes,

I can usually get a grasp on how much food they order.

You can't tell anyone that we eat this much.

I think I misspoke earlier.

If you eat too much protein,

it can be stored as fat. So mind the amount too.

Please have an idea of how much protein you should be eating.

This tastes even better.

I could probably eat healthy my whole life.

Gosh, this is so good.

I can't believe how good this is.

You were all worried earlier...

that healthy food wouldn't taste good. So how was it?

- It was so tasty. - It was so tasty.

- Right? - Yes.

We can stick to healthy food forever if it tastes like this.

We still have to eat pu pad pong karee.

(Is he trying to make us eat healthy food the whole trip?)

Please let us have pad Thai at least once.

- Please. - You mean the local pad Thai?

Is it okay if we add protein to the curry?

Gosh.

(Loathing the idea)

Curry with protein powder.

I feel like that could actually be a thing.

Yes, protein. And pad Thai made with protein noodles.

(No more protein.)

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

Let’s clean up and go sparring.

(Iron Boot Camp in Phuket. Where will they be training next?)

(Located on the fitness street that is lined with gyms)

(A local boxing gym in Phuket)

(This is where the Iron Girls will be sparring today.)

I guess we can't get away from here.

Gosh.

Did you get some good rest?

(A familiar figure from behind)

- Hello. - Coach!

- Coach, we missed you. - Right.

(Meeting Coach Kim in Phuket feels even more special.)

Who are we sparring with?

You will be sparring with foreign boxers...

who are training in Phuket.

(Foreign boxers in Phuket)

(Only 10 days left until their 1st competition)

(Their first full sparring partners...)

(were community sports competition veterans.)

(Their second full sparring partners...)

(were boxers that each had less than 1 year of experience.)

(And today, they'll be doing their third full sparring session.)

(This time, it's with foreign boxers.)

(This is the final test, with no room to back down.)

(Will they be able to hold their own against the foreign boxers?)

They’re matched to our weight class, right?

- Yes, like you said, - Yes.

They're in your weight class, so you don't have to worry too much.

The main purpose of an overseas training camp...

- Yes? - is to spar with foreign fighters.

- That's right. - Let's go inside to meet them.

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

Take a look at this boxing gym.

- It's amazing. - We've got to try it out.

(They go inside the gym where they'll be sparring.)

- Hello. - I'm nervous.

- Gosh. I love this. - Look at all these pictures.

How many people have been here?

- The color is so nice and vibrant. - Gosh.

How many boxing rings are there?

- They have many rings here. - Come on.

(The huge boxing gym is equipped with 3 boxing rings.)

This is a gym with a long tradition.

From boxing and UFC to MMA,

many famous fighters have been here.

So many people are obsessed...

- with boxing. - Yes.

The looks on your faces since we arrived at the gym...

Right. Don't be discouraged.

- Straighten your shoulders. - This feels different.

- It feels different. - Don't be intimidated.

This is our first time sparring with...

- foreign boxers. - Yes.

- Right. - Will we be all right?

Won't they be more muscular than we are?

I've always fought against foreign fighters,

and I think the experience...

- is truly necessary. - Why?

Their way of applying force is definitely different.

And the way they approach sparring is different too.

Foreign fighters think of sparring as a match.

- That's right. - Yes. So if someone wants to spar,

it’s like saying they want a real match.

It's because they think that sparring like it’s a real match...

helps both participants improve.

- I see. - Really?

That's why you must remain composed.

Let's not let our eyes give us away.

- Right. - Do we have some eyeliner?

Ju Hyun said yesterday...

that she will put eyeliner on for the match.

- We will draw it until here. - To look scary?

Yes, to look scary.

- So that our glare scares them. - Yes.

Let's go.

Today,

we won't hear about...

their experience or sport,

but just go on with the sparring...

and then listen to them.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Then let's bring in our opponents.

Please come out.

(Who will their opponents be?)

Gosh. Here they come.

You can feel their aura, right?

(The opponents show up.)

Turn back around.

(Turn back around.)

- No. - It seems like they are...

- in a different weight class. - Fix your mindset.

They're in a different weight class.

You never know until they get here.

They seem to get bigger as they're getting closer.

(They approach with an unusual aura.)

(Nice to meet you.)

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

(He greets the other coach.)

(Dmitri, assistant boxing coach, Stan, head boxing coach)

(No response)

Coaches,

are you feeling uncomfortable?

Foreign teams are always like that.

- Amazing. - Yes.

Anyway, let's just hear their names...

- and get right to sparring. - Yes, sir.

Okay. Please introduce yourselves.

Hello, my name is Marbie, and I'm from Ireland.

- Ireland. - Ireland.

And my name is Madeline.

- I'm from Australia. - Australia.

My name is Emma, and I'm from the UK.

- Emma. - UK.

Hello, my name is Saengchan, and I'm from Thailand.

Thailand. Saengchan.

Ireland, Australia,

- and the UK. - The UK.

- Thailand. - Thailand.

What's going on?

One thing I'm curious to know...

is whether you live here,

or if you are here on holiday for the match.

I came here for holiday. But now, I'm living here.

What? You're living here?

(She lives here?)

I've been in Thailand for 15 months now.

Why is she living here?

I came for holiday, and then I just...

loved it, so I stayed.

So I came for holiday. Now, I live here.

And I'm here for training.

They all came here for their holiday.

(They all fell in love with training in Phuket and stayed.)

- They are all living here. - Gosh. They're all...

I should live here as well.

When you have a match,

you get to know your opponent...

- when you get there. - Yes.

At community sports boxing competitions.

So today,

we will do a random draw.

(That's why they will do a random draw today.)

- To make it fair? - Even the order...

will be done by draw.

That's how we will choose the order for the sparring.

(They will do a random draw for the order as well.)

This is like an actual match.

They all seem good, so I don't know.

We just have to go with it.

(The foreign boxer draws the ball first.)

Yes, they drew them.

Great.

(They finished drawing the ball.)

(They start to get nervous.)

- Let's go. - Our turn for colors.

First, Ju Hyun.

Blue.

(Who will be Ju Hyun's opponent?)

Blue. Okay. You may greet each other.

The face-off.

- Face-off. - Face.

(They exchange intense eye contact.)

Okay.

Great.

(Emma versus Ju Hyun)

Next.

(Saengchan versus Sae Rok)

Okay. Good.

(Madeline versus In Ah)

(Marbie versus Uie)

(Today's sparring order)

Great, then...

we won't delay it.

- Get ready for the sparring. - Yes, sir.

Please get ready.

(The third full sparring)

(Warming up before the sparring)

(The opponents lightly warm up.)

Even the competition is nearing. I'm so nervous.

Who is our biggest problem?

Can you tell?

I really can't tell.

Are you serious? I'm just...

- so scared. - Don't be scared.

We were always in air-conditioned rooms,

- and doing this outdoors... - Yes.

That consumes a lot of energy.

The weather is hot, so...

Is it different for each nationality?

- They're different. - Do they have different styles?

It doesn't matter what happens.

I will do my best up there.

(10 days left.)

(It's the last sparring before the competition.)

(How much have the Iron Girls grown?)

Let'ss begin the first sparring.

Emma and Ju Hyun.

- Please enter. - Okay. Let's go.

Let's go, girl.

Let's go.

(Completely relaxed)

(Meanwhile, Ju Hyun calmly enters the ring.)

Let's go, Ju Hyun.

(Meanwhile, Ju Hyun calmly enters the ring.)

Why am I so nervous?

- I'm nervous as well. - Really?

- We're all nervous. - If you're not nervous...

If you're not nervous,

it means you don't care about the results.

She cares, but she doesn't get nervous.

- I'm nervous now. - What?

- No way. - No way.

You're nervous?

(Due to the sparring with a foreign boxer, )

(Ju Hyun seems to be very tense.)

(The opponent laughs.)

And did you spar before with the helmet?

Never.

Congratulations.

(She had been sparring without wearing the headgear?)

- Go and watch what she does. - Okay.

Look how she punches. Look first.

Don't rush. Never rush.

- Just relax and have fun. - Yes.

- And then fight afterwards? - Yes.

- And try to close your guard. - Okay.

She's so optimistic.

What if she hits hard while smiling like that?

I'm nervous.

(Ju Hyun finishes preparing with a nervous heart.)

I can feel it.

Fighters, to the front.

(Fighters, to the center.)

Let's go. Have fun.

Play fair.

No attacking the back.

Play fair.

The sparring will consist of 2 rounds of 2 minutes,

with 40 seconds of rest.

- Okay. Don't rush. - Okay.

Okay.

Box!

(Round 1 begins.)

(Ju Hyun keeps her distance.)

(Ju Hyun makes a sudden attack on the body.)

(And connects it to a body shot)

(Valid strike)

(Valid strike 2, Valid strike)

Go around.

- You have to go around. - Don't rush. Take your time.

(After carefully measuring the time to attack...)

(She makes a valid strike with a jab, )

(and even dodges.)

That's it. Good.

(She calmly observes the timing while leading the opponent.)

Good. Stay calm.

You can tell her strategy, right?

Thirty minutes have passed.

(Valid strike, Valid strike)

(Valid strike 2)

(Valid strike 2, Valid strike 3)

(Her opponent suddenly smiles wide.)

(Ju Hyun responds to the madness...)

(with a jab.)

(The pinpoint jab breaks the guard.)

Don't stay so long in close distance. Okay?

Lean your hands more.

Okay. Stand with your hands up.

That's it.

(After Ju Hyeon attempts a dodge and punch)

(A slugfest follows.)

(She allowed a valid strike through an open guard.)

You need to move back after an attack.

- You did well. - Go in.

Don't stay so long in close distance.

(Parry)

(Parry 2)

(She easily blocks the opponent's attack.)

(After a high-low combination, )

(she withdraws.)

(Ju Hyun makes valid strikes by hitting and withdrawing.)

Close it.

- That's it. Yes. - Okay.

(Ju Hyun: Valid strike 1, Opponent: Valid strike 1)

(Ju Hyun: Valid strike 2, Opponent: Valid strike 2)

(Ju Hyun: Valid strike 3, 4, Opponent: Valid strike 2)

Stand down.

(Ju Hyun's hit and withdraw)

(Opponent's body shot)

- Yes. Go in. - Beautiful.

(Ju Hyun withstands the strong body shot.)

You have plenty of stamina left.

A minute and 30 seconds have passed.

It's the last 30 seconds.

- That's it. More. - Ju Hyun.

Keep going with the flurry.

That's it.

Keep going with the flurry. That's it.

She got hit a lot.

(They keep exchanging blows.)

(A strong body shot)

(Counterattacking with a right hook that is even stronger)

- Nice. - Defense. More lead hand control.

(Pausing to catch their breath after the rush)

- Yes. - Yes.

- You can do more. Keep going. - Good.

(Another round of attacks 5 seconds before it ends)

- Stop. - Okay.

(Round 1 ends)

You did well.

Gosh. She did well.

Ju Hyun did so well.

Oh, my gosh. I'm so nervous.

Yes, it's good.

(After watching Ju Hyun's match, the next boxer is nervous.)

(The opponent comes in, breathing heavily.)

My cardio is ruined right now.

I'm not worried. It's one more round, and that's it.

More lead hand control.

You keep holding your hands here all the time.

More lead hand control. She will be confused.

Yes? And don't lean so forward.

- Okay. - Stay here and use some feint.

What you did really well was when you lightly tapped...

and then gave a strong blow.

You threw three blows.

You need to do what you do well to impact the opponent.

Like what you just did. Light punches...

- and then a strong... - Can I have some water?

Two or three strong ones.

(She has a drink of water and prepares for Round 2.)

Time is up.

Spit it out.

(Round 2 begins.)

(Sticking to the plan, she keeps her guard up with her lead hand.)

Beautiful.

Don't rush.

(Ju Hyun hits and withdraws first.)

Beautiful.

(A cross-counter)

(Another hit and withdraw)

Ju Hyun is much better in the second round.

That's it.

Yes. That's what I was talking about.

(Watch the opponent move calmly.)

When she punches toward the body, her top is empty.

Yes. Nice.

Yes.

(The opponent pushes her to the corner.)

(Ju Hyun swings out.)

(Punch)

(And turn)

(Followed by continuous valid strikes)

Yes. You punched a lot.

(Finishing up with hit and withdraw)

Very good.

(Exploring each other carefully)

- More right. - She's getting closer again.

Guard up. Yes.

Yes. You got it.

(Cross-counter)

(Followed by Ju Hyun's...)

(one-two)

- Yes. You got it. - Beautiful.

- It's okay. You're better. - And to the left. Go out there.

Go left and go right.

- Beautiful. - Do it at the end.

- Go right means the face. - Go right and up.

- Again. Come on. - That's right.

Nice dodging. And you hit her first.

Yes.

It's been a minute.

(However, Ju Hyun doesn't fall back and fights to the end.)

Nice. Ju Hyun, you're determined.

Ju Hyun, you're determined.

Go to the middle of the ring.

No gap. Go.

- Yes. - Good job.

- Look how she withdraws. - It's better when you think.

- She's good at withdrawing. - Withdraw.

(She hits and withdraws again.)

- When you start... - You got it.

(She succeeds in hitting and withdrawing 3 times in a row.)

That's right.

It's better when you think. Withdraw.

Last 30 seconds.

- Last 30 seconds. - Go to the left.

- Last 30 seconds. - Low body.

(The opponent's strong right hook)

(Ju Hyun induces an attack, remaining calm)

Fight back. Yes. Good job.

(Sweeping and striking accurately)

(Guarding as well)

Yes. Good job.

- Good job. - Last ten seconds.

- Park Ju Hyun! - More! Last ten seconds.

Be bold.

Be bold for the last ten seconds.

Turn around.

Yes. Turn around.

Yes. Turn around.

Stop.

(Round 2 ends.)

Good job.

(Ju Hyun's fierce sparring is over.)

Good job. Bow.

- It's all good. Thank you. - Well done.

- That was good. - You were so good.

- That was great. - Was Park Ju born to box?

Good job.

- You were good. - It hurt so much though.

Yes, but you were calm and good.

- You have fun? - Yes.

(Sparring was brutally fun.)

Both fighters did a wonderful job.

Please give it up for them.

- Gosh. Ju Hyun sometimes goes mad. - Yes, she does.

- Her opponent also went mad. - Yes.

It was madness versus madness.

- That's right. - It was very dynamic.

To be honest, I was surprised.

First of all, she's very strong.

And she was smiling as she hit me.

So I was scared.

(After Ju Hyun's strikes 3 times in a row...)

(Smiling)

(What? You're scaring me.)

So I kept telling myself,

"No. It's okay."

- I tried to remain calm. - Okay.

I tried so hard to keep calm.

Emma, you smiled in the middle.

Why were you smiling?

I'm happy.

- That's so cool. - Why happy?

- Unbelievable. - Look where I am.

I'm in a ring with an amazing opponent.

So how can I not?

I respect.

I was surprised too.

And I respect. So...

- Yes. - For real.

Anybody can learn how to box. Anybody.

But not everybody has a spark.

And you have.

(Thank you.)

(Thank you.)

(The mad boxers shared their passion physically.)

- That's the charm of boxing. - Right.

- When you fight, - It's hot in here.

You hit each other and make each other bleed.

But after the match, you respect each other...

and become friends. That's the charm of boxing.

That's right.

How long have learned to box?

(The opponent's experience finally unveils.)

Western boxing for two months.

- Oh, my goodness. - Oh, my gosh.

- Two months? - Yes.

- She's the same. - But she's so good.

Did you learn anything before that?

Kickboxing for a bit. Yes.

- Kickboxing for how long? - Five years.

Five years? I see.

(Emma, UK, 43, psychotherapist)

(5 years of kickboxing)

That jab wasn't from two months. It hurt.

- Right. - And it still does.

You have a killer cross.

(Don't act like you're weak.)

- Oh, a killer cross. - That was very good.

And don't put your hands down.

Because after every punch, you put your hands down.

- Keep it here. - Right.

Keep them up.

- Right. - Good.

(Ju Hyun's third sparring results:)

(Strengths: Figures out the opponent's attack timing...)

(and hits and withdraws quickly)

(Induces the opponent to attack in order to counterattack)

(Induces the opponent to attack in order to counterattack)

(Points to improve: Lowers the guard after every punch)

(Points to improve: Lowers the guard after every punch)

- Playing against her was painful. - Well done.

- It looked painful. - I even thought...

- I'd get TKO. - Really?

- But you endured it pretty well. - It hurt that much.

- So good. - How was it really?

- No, it was good. - How was it? It was okay?

I couldn't. She was fast. I couldn't get my distance.

That's all right.

- She clocked me in the nose too. - Did she?

She did.

(Every time she punched, she hit her nose.)

- You're bleeding a little bit. - Am I?

That's the cross.

The cross.

Prepare for the second sparring.

Uie versus Marbie.

(Uie looks frozen as she enters the ring.)

Uie, just keep calm.

Let's go.

(On the other hand, the opponent has the composure to hum.)

(Glancing)

Like the last time, once it's over,

it's not a big deal, you know?

There, lead, lead, lead.

You sometimes go to the body.

- Look to the head. Go to the body. - She's taller.

She'll work with her jab.

You go to the body.

Two or three times?

After that, you feint to the body and go up.

Okay?

(Ready)

(Uie is also getting ready.)

(She's nervous enough to retch.)

We'll begin the second sparring. Please come to the center.

(The fighters for the second sparring enter.)

No leg attack, okay?

Touch your gloves.

Fair play.

Corners.

Take a deep breath.

(Taking a deep breath)

- Good. - Okay.

Box.

(Round 1 begins.)

- Hands up. - Hands up.

(The opponent attacks fiercely.)

She just threw a strong punch.

But it was blocked by Uie's jab.

(The opponent's valid strike became weak due to Uie's jab.)

(She keeps her distance.)

- She didn't hit you, did she? - No.

(Uie makes a valid strike just with a jab alone.)

Because there's a gap in reach, she's going to try to come in.

(Blocking)

(Connecting to a straight)

(Punching strong enough to turn her head)

(The opponent's body attack)

(Uie counters with a jab.)

(However, the opponent hits a two...)

(in return for Uie's jab.)

(The opponent breaks through Uie's reach.)

Oh, she's strong.

She's going to struggle.

- Oh, gosh. - She's good with the...

- She's got good footwork. - Yes.

Jab for the body right now.

Thirty seconds have passed.

Yes.

- Good. - Beautiful.

(Dodging)

(Valid strike, Valid strike 2)

(Finishing up with a straight)

Hands up.

Same combination with the left hand.

- Head. - Guard up.

- Punch. - That's right.

(Uie's jab)

(The opponent's right hook)

(Followed by the left hook)

Beautiful.

- Her left hook is crazy. - Why are you not doing anything?

She's good.

- A minute passed. - Don't go straight.

Why are you not doing anything after stretching your arm?

You have to retrieve it.

Yes, do your footwork.

(Uie continues attacking with her footwork.)

(However, )

(the opponent dodges easily.)

Use it when she gets close.

(Turning)

(Attacking again)

Don't let her.

(Strong straight that breaks through Uie's reach)

(Followed by the body attack)

She's reading your timing.

(The opponent attacks at accurate timing.)

Withdraw. Quick.

(A very strong straight)

(An immediate series of attacks)

I need you to put more weight on your right leg.

You have to get close and guard.

Yes.

(A strong body flurry)

Your opponent knows that you'll jab.

So deceive her.

Jab as you deceive her.

Then try one-two.

Try one-two.

Again.

Okay.

(Looking for the timing while doing the footwork)

(Cross-counter)

(Cross-counter again)

(A strong valid strike on each other)

- Get closer. - Yes.

Get closer.

Yes. You're hitting her.

That's right.

That's right. Use your stamina.

Yes. Okay.

(Round 1 ends.)

- Good job. - That was good.

(The opponent was superior in Round 1.)

All good.

Among all the opponents she's met, I think she's the best.

It was probably her first time getting hit like that.

(Uie got punched hard throughout Round 1.)

This is a very important experience.

Right. I'm sorry to say this, but she needs to get hit.

- Yes. - She's doing great.

(Because they've gone through it, )

(they're worried about her even more.)

It doesn't hurt.

- It doesn't hurt, right? - Yes.

(Uie is as durable as her stamina.)

More relax.

(Whereas the opponent is running out of breath.)

You go to the body.

- Up. That's two. - She's so long.

Because she has taller...

She has longer hands.

And you have a really strong right hand. I like that.

You don't jab. You just wait, so the opponent knows what's coming.

When you jab, that's when she punches.

- So jab first? - Yes, that's why you got hit.

If you're going to hit her, just hit her.

- Otherwise, just get close to her. - Yes.

- Uie, use all your stamina. - You're doing great.

- You're doing amazing. - Use it all up.

The opponent is gathering her energy before punching you.

But you have to attack her before she gathers it.

Okay.

(My sparring begins now.)

(What kind of match will she put on in Round 2?)

(Round 2 begins.)

Let's go, girls.

(Uie approaches more aggressively compared to Round 1.)

Jab. Punch.

- Uie. That's right. - That's right!

Yes. You got it.

(Uie's signature one-two)

(She chases after the opponent and flurries.)

Yes. Go in.

Yes. Don't take a break.

Then the opponent can't gather her energy.

Right. You got it.

It's all about your stamina.

Keep it up. Yes.

Now, she can't gather her energy. That's right.

Get closer.

- Yes. - Way to go.

Your opponent is nervous.

Get closer.

Get closer.

Keep it up. You're doing great.

She can't gather her energy anymore. Oh, no. She got hit.

Thirty seconds have passed. You have to go in.

She's gathering energy.

- Yes. Get closer. - Yes, try one again.

- Routine One. - That's right.

(Routine 1:1, 2, backstep, 1, 2)

- Try Routine One. - One, two.

- Again. - Yes.

- Routine One. - You have to focus.

(She chases her opponent...)

(and throws a one-two.)

- Yes. - You got it.

(Followed by a cross-counter)

- Yes. - You got it.

Hit. Yes. Good job.

(The opponent is completely off guard.)

She's exhausted.

Don't stop.

Look at the opponent. Yes.

Now is your chance.

She turned her head. Yes. She turned her head.

Move around. Don't stay. Move around.

(Bombarding with punches)

(Pushing to the corner and flurrying with one-two)

(The opponent is clearly slower than before.)

Circle out.

Let's go. Thirty seconds.

- The opponent wants to rest. - Don't stop.

(Going straight to the opponent again)

- Okay. - That's right.

(Throwing in a deep jab)

- Go. - Get closer.

- Go! - That's right.

- That's right. Your stamina. - Hit her.

There's a big gap in their stamina.

(Uie pushes...)

(the opponent to the corner.)

(Endless one-two)

- That's right. - Keep punching. Don't stop!

- Keep going. This can be a KO. - More. Why did you withdraw?

More. Why did you withdraw?

- Why did you withdraw? - Don't stop.

Why did you withdraw?

- Get closer. - You have to get closer.

- Go. - She's reviving.

Yes.

Last 40 seconds.

- Go. - Yes.

(Uppercut in the gap)

- That's right. - Keep going.

- Forty seconds. - Don't stop.

Good job.

(This time, Uie keeps pushing without stopping.)

- Get closer. - Yes.

(When the opponent...)

(lets her guard down...)

(A punch in the face)

Yes.

Yes.

Keep going.

(The opponent's last counterattack)

- Get closer. - Hands.

(She pounds her with a tenacious flurry.)

- Stop. - Okay.

(Round 2 ends.)

Uie.

- That's KO. - She was amazing.

That was incredible.

- Good job. - What?

- Take it off. - What?

- Wait. - What? What is it?

- Good job. - Is it over?

- It's over. - Yes, it's over.

Yet it's over.

(The opponent did her best until she couldn't recover.)

That is a good experience. All good.

Applause to the two fighters who did their best.

(The two fighters did their best in sparring.)

Can you tell us how it was?

Oh, my gosh. Look at my face.

She's very good.

She's very good.

But so good.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Uie, you just sparred.

You looked different in Round 1 and Round 2.

To be honest,

- when she punched me, - Right.

- it hurt, - Right.

But I could endure it.

- So... - Very good.

In Round Two, I decided to give it a shot.

So I went close to her.

I think that was what worked.

Marbie, I think...

you have a very strong punch.

How long have you learned boxing?

Two months passed.

- Two months? - Yes.

- She's the same. - But why is she so good?

But why is she so good?

- It doesn't make sense. - She was born with it.

- Like In Ah. - Like In Ah.

My boyfriend. He's an assistant boxing coach.

And he said,

"Hey, you. Fight." And then...

(Cool)

- That's cool. - That's incredible.

What did you learn before boxing?

Back in high school, I played basketball.

But I sing instead.

A singer?

What year did you debut?

What year did you debut?

- A singer? When did you debut? - The same.

I went on "The Voice UK 2017."

She's also a very famous singer...

in Korea.

(The senior singer: Your punch was pretty good.)

(The younger singer: I have a good punch.)

Idol.

- Do you know idols? - Yes.

- Yes. Of course. - K-pop?

(Uie and Marbie. The boxing idols are formed.)

- I'd say sister? - Sister.

Sister.

- So cute. - So cute.

The coaches must've been impressed by her.

What did you think...

of their sparring?

You're doing so good.

So strong even when you got strong punches a few times.

You still kept going. Nice.

Nice. All good. You're so strong.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Same. Try to protect your chin with your shoulder.

You fight like this.

That's the exact same thing our coach said.

- She has to raise her guard. - I know that.

- But I can't do it. - Right. That's what happens.

(Uie's third sparring results:)

(Strengths: Dogged enough to counterattack...)

(despite the opponent's attack)

(After the one-two, she can flurry using her stamina.)

(Points to improve: Her face is exposed due to the low guard.)

(Points to improve: Her face is exposed due to the low guard.)

Applause to the two fighters for their best match.

(Their sparring gave them major experience.)

- Thank you. - Yes.

- Thank you. - The senior and junior singers.

The senior and junior singers.

The third sparring.

Sae Rok versus Saengchan.

Please get ready.

It's either do or die.

Yes. Come on, girl.

(The biggest height difference among the sparring opponents)

- Okay? Just stay strong, okay? - Yes.

(Guard up.)

Like this, okay? Strong.

Not here. Here. Good.

(Due to the difference in their reaches, )

(he emphasizes the guard in case of a long punch)

I can do it.

Focus on what you've been doing, okay?

I can do it.

- Of course. - Undoubtedly.

- You can do it. - You're more than capable.

You're more than capable.

Keep punching.

And when she gets close, give a two and turn.

Just focus on that, okay?

Because she's short.

- That'll get you win. - Okay.

Even if you only do Routine One, you'll win.

Okay.

- Come forward. - Let's go.

(Fighters to the center)

Let's play fair, okay?

Touch gloves.

Corners.

We'll begin the third sparring.

Box.

(Round 1 begins.)

- You can do it. - Go.

Do what you can do.

Yes. Routine One.

(Successfully withdrawing)

(Followed by another one-two)

(Valid strike 4)

(Followed by another one-two)

- Yes. Don't take a break. - Yes.

(Sae Rok continues to record valid strikes.)

(The opponent struggles due to Sae Rok's long reach.)

(As Sae Rok's flurry continues, )

(the opponent decides to lower her aim.)

Be careful.

(Sae Rok's continuous valid strike)

(Followed by...)

(Groaning)

(The opponent's strong body shot)

Her punch is strong.

A strong punch on her stomach.

- She has strong power. - Go.

Turn around.

(She manages to withdraw and continues to attack.)

(Parry)

(Valid body strike)

(As Sae Rok counterattacks...)

(Valid strike)

Again.

(The opponent keeps throwing body shots.)

- Watch carefully. - Goodness.

- Go. - Break free.

(Sae Rok escapes while throwing jabs.)

Thirty seconds have passed.

That's it. Good.

See that?

(She flies in with an amazing pose, )

(evades Sae Rok's long jab, )

(and lands a body shot.)

- She aims at the stomach. - Her foot is off the ground.

Because you're tall, she's targeting your body.

Hit her in the face. Keep jabbing.

(Carefully watching for the right timing)

- Punch. - Okay.

- Punch and pivot. That's it. - Yes.

- Nice. - Good.

- That's it. - Nice.

Sae Rok, you're doing really well. Pivot.

(Valid strike, Valid strike)

(Valid strike 2, 3)

(Staggering)

(Valid strike 4, 5)

(Valid strike 6, Valid strike)

(After many valid strikes)

- Good job. - Retreat.

(Waiting for the right moment to attack)

- She's strong. - Yes. Punch her.

- She's strong. - Yes. Punch her.

Try again. What's wrong?

Stop.

One, two.

(Sae Rok crouches as if in pain.)

Breathe.

(Serious)

One, two.

- I know a little. - She's tired?

- Was that the liver? - One, two.

(As Sae Rok threw a jab, )

(the opponent countered with a heavy body shot.)

(A fatal blow to the exposed stomach)

Try again. What's wrong?

(Sae Rok crashes down from the accumulated damages.)

(Standing 8 count)

(She straightens up, )

(but it doesn't seem easy.)

- I've been hit there too. - She'll strike again.

- Eight. - You can do it.

(They cheer her on, )

(but if Sae Rok doesn't get up before the 8-count, )

(the sparring will be over.)

Eight.

She'll strike again.

- She'll definitely strike again. - Yes.

- That's it. - Go, girl. Let's go.

- You can do it. - She recovers quickly.

(Unshaken, Sae Rok boldly goes for the first attack.)

She'll aim at your stomach.

She's coming for your stomach. See that?

(Valid strike, Valid strike)

(Another body shot)

She's coming for your stomach. See that?

Don't attack until you've recovered.

Retreat while jabbing.

(A powerful body shot)

(An incredible power)

(Staggering)

- Go. - Retreat while pivoting.

Stop.

(Round 1 ends.)

Breathe. Inhale deeply.

It's okay.

Breathe. Rest for a moment.

(Round 1 was intense.)

Great job. You've done really well.

Just keep doing what you just did.

The opponent will attack your stomach.

After hitting her, step back. Okay?

Step back with your footwork. You're doing well.

- Chin down. - No up.

- Yes. - All good. Nice.

(Round 2 strategy: Quick dodges and strikes)

- Okay? - Round Two.

She's done Muay Thai for a really long time.

- Right? - You can tell?

She even lifted her leg earlier.

She's done it for over ten years.

No, she began at age five.

It's easy to tell.

(Is she a veteran like Dong Hyun says?)

Step back with your footwork.

You're doing well.

(Round 2 begins.)

- Good luck, Sae Rok! - Good luck!

- Yes, right. - Be careful of body shots.

Yes.

- No. Move your head. - Punch her.

Jab.

(Keeping the opponent in check with jabs after attacking)

- Yes, nice. - Hit and retreat.

- Good. - Good. Jab.

Jab at her when she moves in, and pivot out.

(The opponent charges in on the coach's command.)

Jab.

- Retreat. - Sae Rok.

She can't reach you.

- Move around. - Attack.

(The opponent keeps pressing Sae Rok.)

Guard up! Nicely done.

(Valid strike)

(Dodging)

(Valid strike 2)

You did really well. That was perfect timing. Try again.

- Do it again. Keep going. - Stay on your right.

Immediately. That's it. Now retreat.

- Nice one. - That's it. Now retreat.

(Valid strike)

- Retreat. - Nice one-two.

(After striking the opponent, she even pivoted out.)

(Preparing for the right moment to attack again)

Try again. You have to keep your eyes on her.

- Right away. - Gosh.

(The opponent blocks Sae Rok's lead hand...)

(and launches a valid strike.)

Don't get scared.

One minute to go. The final minute.

She's going to attack you. Keep watching her.

You're doing good!

- Let's go. - Block her attacks.

(The opponent is using the same pattern.)

(Sae Rok calmly puts her guard up.)

Try it. Go in.

- That's it. - That's it.

(A powerful straight)

- That's it. - Nice.

- She took a strong hit. - Pivot.

(However, )

(she immediately took a body shot.)

- That looked like a strong hit. - Again.

- Good. - Pivot.

Don't forget.

(While they're exchanging heavy blows)

That's it.

(A solid cross)

- Again. - Breathe, Sae Rok.

Jump.

- Jump. - One more time.

It's the last 15 seconds.

- Jump, Sae Rok. - It's the last 15 seconds.

(Using her last bit of energy, she attempts a jab.)

(Groaning)

(Valid strike 2)

(Valid body shot)

Retreat. Pivot.

Retreat. Pivot.

- Sae Rok. - Here she comes.

Go for it.

- That's it. Pivot. - Yes.

Breathe.

- Pivot. - Sae Rok.

- Go for it. Nice. - Nice.

(Sae Rok throws punches until the very end.)

Don't counterattack.

- Nice. - Let's go.

Nice.

(Sae Rok pivots out as she throws punches until the end.)

Straighten your back, then pivot out.

- Stop. - Okay.

(Round 2 ends.)

- Well done. - Good job.

- Well done. - She endured it.

One punch landed perfectly.

- Good job. - Gosh.

You were so cool, Rocky.

There was one punch...

- The counter. - that was a clean hit.

Sir, thank you.

Thank you.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Oh, thank you.

(Sharing the Korean-style gesture of gratitude)

Goodness.

When fighting her, Sae Rok was like a female warrior.

But now, she's all polite.

(From a fighter to Rocky Keum)

I made a guess outside the ring.

I'm sure of this when it comes to Saengchan.

The way she throws her punches and moves...

suggests that she started Muay Thai when she was 5.

When did you start boxing or practicing Muay Thai?

(Focused)

I've done Muay Thai for about ten years.

(What?)

(10 years?)

- Ten years. - You were spot on.

I was spot on, right? Ten years.

I started Muay Thai when I was 12...

and taught myself boxing through YouTube.

(She's been in over 20 matches.)

(With strong kicks and punches, )

(she's an unexpectedly skilled martial arts veteran.)

- She's a veteran. - She should be proud.

We're really different in height, right?

Despite that, I got hit countless times.

- Yes. - Getting hit on my body was...

Receiving body shots was…

If I say this on camera...

- Would I be exposing my weakness? - The opponent...

The opponent will...

(I'm being serious.)

No. Sae Rok has strong abs.

- Did your stomach hurt? - My stomach...

- I feel like I took... - Yes?

- every body shot possible today. - I see.

- Really. - It was a shock.

It was painful too.

Until now, I'd been scared of getting hit,

which kept me from moving in.

Today, my goal was...

to throw as many punches as I could until the end,

even if I was scared and took hits.

(During her first sparring, )

(Sae Rok missed the timing and hesitated, )

(allowing the opponent to land a hit.)

(During the second sparring, )

(she made many valid strikes.)

(But her moves were still passive, )

(leaving the opponent to lead the attacks.)

(The sparrings had always left her with disappointment.)

(And today, )

(Sae Rok attacked proactively...)

(and landed the most valid strikes.)

- Of... - You did really well.

- everything I've done, - She did so well.

That's the one I'm proud of.

- Well done. - You did an amazing job.

You did really well.

I was so surprised.

Even when she got a heavy punch to the body,

she still found some power to stay in the ring...

and did so well.

(During Round 1)

(there was a standing 8 count due to getting hit by a heavy blow.)

(But Sae Rok overcame the pain...)

(and fought until the end.)

I applaud that.

That's so good.

Thank you.

Because Sae Rok's arms are longer than her opponent's,

if she uses that advantage and moves faster,

it could become a lethal weapon for her.

Yes. Thank you.

(An objective feedback from the veteran)

For me personally, defense is the best offense.

Your chin is up, and your head is up.

Your whole body is open.

Total defense.

Chin down. Hands up.

Your area is closed.

And like this, you can work.

Yes. Beautiful.

- You got it. - Okay.

You got it.

Protect.

(Sae Rok's third sparring results:)

(Strengths: Proactice attacks to land valid strikes)

(Showing a willingness to use techniques)

(Points to improve: Defense is slow after attacking, )

(leaving her vulnerable to heavy strikes)

You performed well against a highly experienced boxer.

Well done.

- You were really cool. - For real.

- That was the best sparring. - That was a great match.

(An intense sparring session recognized by everyone)

Saengchan, I love you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Let's get ready for the last sparring.

Seol In Ah versus Madeline.

Get ready to spar.

Okay.

Let's go, Mad.

Which one do you want, champion?

(Laughing)

This one is fine.

I think this one will be better.

(The opponent wears her gloves by herself.)

Show your skills. It's good for you too.

I think I should use my experience.

Yes. Stay confident. Just start easy.

- See what you're made of. - Okay.

- Hit and don't get hit. - Okay.

I think she's a little bit scared. Maybe.

Out of the four,

I think...

- she's the most experienced. - She looks good, right?

Fight like you always do.

Stay calm. Don't worry.

It's okay to take a hit.

(It's my turn to fight!)

We'll start the match.

All right. To the center.

Fair play.

- Okay? - Yes.

Touch gloves.

Corners.

Good luck, Seol In Ah.

Okay?

Okay?

Box!

- Good luck, Seol In Ah! - Good luck, Seol In Ah!

Good luck, Madeline!

Good luck, Madeline!

You're standing firm.

Yes. Short jabs.

(A low strike after a feint)

Stronger!

(A low feint, )

(and then a high straight)

- Nice. - Jab.

(Another valid jab strike)

(The opponent counters immediately.)

(However, )

(In Ah raises her guard quickly, )

(evades the opponent's jab, )

(and keeps an eye on her movements.)

She's taken aback.

(The opponent closes in quickly.)

(In Ah moves across the entire ring to find the right timing.)

- Nice. - She's good.

(In Ah's guard)

(The opponent's jab and body shot)

(Dodging her straight)

Guard up. Yes.

That just now was great.

- The opponent is good. - Right?

- She seems experienced in matches. - Yes.

Here she comes.

Block it.

- Here she comes. Block it. Nice. - Look at her.

- That was amazing. - Thirty seconds have passed.

(In Ah looks for the perfect moment to strike.)

(The opponent has her guard up.)

(In Ah's high-low combination)

(The opponent's body shot)

(Another cross-counter)

What a strong punch.

(Dodge)

(A tense exchange of dodges)

- The two... - You're doing great.

Are having proper sparring.

(Neither of them is taking their eyes off the other.)

(A suspenseful back-and-forth)

(In Ah attacks first with a body shot.)

(The opponent counters with a high-low combination.)

Here she comes.

Do a cross-counter. Throw a straight.

(Dodge 2)

(Dodge)

Both are...

(Parry, Dodge)

Nice.

That's it. Keep watching.

(Cross-counter)

Yes. Just like that.

(Dodging and guarding)

(An intense match)

The last 30 seconds.

Thirty seconds. The last 30 seconds.

(The opponent quickly moves in.)

(Valid strike)

(But In Ah retreats after a counterattack.)

- Nice. - Yes.

Backing up after a hit helps you dodge, right?

How do you avoid that punch?

Well done.

Both of them are good.

Just like that.

Nice, In Ah. You're doing great.

Keep watching her. That's right.

(A well-timed cross)

Yes. Keep your eyes on her.

(In Ah stays focused until the end.)

Ten seconds.

(She blocks high, weaves, )

(and follows with a right hook.)

(Dodging and guarding on repeat)

(Cross-counter)

(In Ah tries a one-two combination.)

Stop.

(However, she let the opponent land a hook.)

(Valid strike)

(Round 1 ends.)

Okay. Well done.

Good job. You did really well.

Nice.

(Round 1 was full of intense mind games.)

When the opponent attacked,

you countered at the same time.

That was amazing. I'm serious.

When you pivoted after the straight,

the opponent missed you.

But what should you have done?

- A one-two combination. - One-two.

A one-two combination.

(After attacking, In Ah dodged with a pivot.)

(However, she hesitated and missed her chance to strike.)

Had you done that, it would've been great.

The opponent is a great boxer.

- She is. She's really good. - Right?

She watched you before attacking.

It's a tight match between the two of you.

All good.

- It's okay? - Yes, so good. Beautiful.

Now, let her work.

(Round 2 strategy: Quickly counter and guard when the opponent attacks)

Close the distance.

- "Close the distance." Okay. - Yes.

- Show them. - Okay.

- Girl, go. - Let's go.

Let's go. And good food after.

(Relaxed)

Breathe.

You're doing well, okay?

In Ah, you're doing great.

(Let's fight harder in Round 2.)

(Round 2 begins.)

(In Ah strikes as soon as the match begins.)

(The opponent doesn't hesitate to counterattack.)

(Valid strike)

(Guard)

(Valid strike 2)

(The opponent's powerful right hook)

Your head.

(Unlike Round 1)

(the opponent attacks relentlessly.)

It's okay, In Ah.

Stay calm and counter.

- Watch out for the body shots. - In Ah.

You're doing well, In Ah.

(Keeping a distance from the fierce opponent)

(Retreating after a straight)

Right now, In Ah.

(In Ah's powerful straight)

- Yes. - That's it.

(Another intense exchange of blows)

(The opponent's high-low combination)

(Cross-counter)

(The opponent's body shot, In Ah's straight)

- You did everything. - You're doing well.

You're doing great.

The fact that you have your guard up is amazing.

Nice one. Here she comes.

That's it.

(Valid strike, Valid strike)

Here she comes again.

- Endure it. - Your guard.

Here she comes. Yes.

(She tried a low body shot after guarding.)

Chin down.

(Staggering)

- Nice. - Punch her.

(In Ah's dodge...)

(causes the opponent to lose her balance.)

(But In Ah missed her chance to attack.)

(The opponent regained her balance in the meantime.)

(A series of fast strikes)

- Okay. - Wake up.

(Distancing herself with a wide punch)

- Get a grip. - Attack.

- Wake up. - Pivot out.

(A rapid series of attacks from the opponent in an instant)

(Getting hit in a flash...)

(again and again)

(The jab landed perfectly.)

Retreat.

Wake up.

The opponent is incredible.

- She's great. - How did they find her?

Really, she's amazing.

Catch your breath, In Ah.

(In Ah circles the ring to save her stamina.)

Cross-counter. That's it.

(She backed off after the cross-counter.)

Yes.

(A perfectly timed cross)

(Valid strike)

(Valid strike)

You did it.

- Well done. - You can do it.

Go for it.

(Valid strike 2)

Retreat.

(Screaming)

(Filling her eyes with determination again)

Attack. That's it.

Attack. That's it.

(Valid strike)

Retreat.

Punch and retreat. Retreat.

Counter! Just like that.

(In Ah's powerful straight punch)

(In Ah attacks aggressively.)

Nice one. Just like that!

Good.

(She attacks again with full fighting spirit.)

Duck.

(Groaning)

(A wide right hook from the opponent)

(Weaving)

(Body shot)

(Full of dogged spirit)

- Go. - In Ah.

- It's okay, In Ah. - One-two.

Come on.

(Come at me if you can.)

You're the best. You are doing really well today.

Nice. I'm really happy.

- Good. Let's try again. - Backstep.

(The opponent's body shot)

(In Ah's cross-counter)

(As soon as the 10-second signal rings, )

(the two boxers launch their final attack.)

- You're doing great. - That's it.

- Well done. - Just like that.

- Go for it. - Nice one.

(Despite taking hits, In Ah fights until the very end.)

Move around.

- This isn't easy. - Five seconds.

- Okay. Stop. - Nice.

Thank you.

- Thank you so much. - Awesome.

Thank you so much.

- Thank you. - Very good.

- Thank you so much. So good. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you so much. - You're a professional boxer.

You're a professional boxer.

A professional fighter.

(Laughing)

- She's the best. - She's really good at boxing.

Wasn't this random? How did this happen?

Had we fought her, we would've been knocked out.

(Gosh, I'm tired.)

Do you know that the opponent took more hits?

She's an amazing boxer.

Yet you caught her off guard more than she did you.

She's too good.

Why do I end up with boxers like her?

In Ah, she was an outstanding boxer.

- Right? - But you did better than her.

- Great job today. - In Ah.

You fought an incredible opponent.

It was a valuable experience.

The boxers were drawn at random,

and you faced a valuable opponent.

- I agree. - Exactly.

(The draw picked the right aces.)

She is decent. She was really good, wasn't she?

She has grit.

Well done, girl.

- Yes. - Yes.

She's strong. A surprise.

The last sparring was between...

- In Ah and Madeline. - Right.

Each match kept surpassing the last.

Please give the two a round of applause.

- Thank you. Thank you so much. - The best.

- First off... - You're the best.

Thank you.

(A rare praise, in Korean, from the foreign coach)

Before I even ask how the sparring went,

it's crystal clear. Madeline...

She's a real boxer. A professional boxer.

She clearly has a lot of experience.

I've been training in mixed martial arts for five years.

- Five years? - Five years?

Five years. Exactly.

(No wonder.)

- And then... - How many MMA fights?

- I've had 21 fights. - What?

(About 21 fights)

- She's an MMA fighter. - She's unbelievable.

What about your record?

I've had 21 fights, and I've lost 5 fights.

Sixteen wins, five losses.

(An impressive record of 16 wins and 5 losses)

Madeline.

- Thank you so much. - We...

(Relentless kicks...)

(and powerful punches)

(A veteran among veterans)

- She has strong punches... - No wonder.

And fights in a high weight class.

She's simply a great boxer.

This will be a chance for In Ah to grow.

The sparring was great. She's very strong. Yes.

She's not just strong,

- but her skill level is quite high. - Thank you.

I wasn't expecting her to be so strong, so it was very surprising.

(It's an honor.)

- Seol In Ah... - Thank you.

Is a famous actress in Korea...

and has been boxing for only three months.

- A new boxer. - Three months?

- Just three months. - Three months.

Yes, let's go. Her new career is boxing.

- Really? - Yes, let's go.

- Yes. - A professional boxer?

Now. Let's go. Yes.

(Even a veteran has acknowledged Simba Seol.)

I was very impressed by your skills.

You fight backwards.

Some professional fighters can't fight backwards.

- She's really good. - Thank you.

Stay focused and train. Very good. I liked your work.

The coach just now...

That scene really impressed me too.

I don't know if you'll remember.

Right around here,

you got hit and must have felt the pain.

But then you moved to about here...

and signaled, "Let's fight over here."

- I did? - Don't you remember?

Not at all.

(During Round 2, after a slugfest, )

(In Ah took a heavy blow.)

(But she created distance by stepping back.)

(Come at me!)

(Showing off that she can continue fighting)

I thought you had taken a hit, but suddenly you were like,

"I won't dodge, so come at me."

I felt it in my head.

Gosh. In Ah.

- You went up against... - I did.

- a strong opponent. - Yes.

Firstly, Madeline is super strong.

I somehow kept fighting...

strong opponents.

But she had the most powerful punches.

You're right.

I thought she'd focus on my eyes,

so I planned to intimidate her with them.

Instead of looking at my eyes, she kept her eyes...

- on my legs and fists. - Yes.

When I fight, I'm always looking at their chest.

Because for MMA, it's full-body.

You can see where people go.

I've learned a valuable lesson from you.

- You're a star. - Thank you so much. Thank you.

(In Ah's third sparring results:)

(Strengths: Hit-and-run skills and defense have gotten better)

(Can stop attacks and take control with a cross-counter)

(Points to improve: Misses instant openings)

(Hesitating may lead to rapid counters)

- Thanks, In Ah. - We're grateful...

- We love you. - for such a match.

If it had been one of us instead of you,

we would have been knocked out.

- For real. - I might've been taken to the ER.

We wouldn't be able to return to Korea.

Actually, the goal...

- of off-season training... - Yes?

- is for such sparring. - It was spot on.

The plane ticket wasn't wasted.

Exactly. That was what I meant.

The sparring was what we were looking for.

Please give a round of applause...

to the two boxers for an outstanding sparring match.

Seol In Ah and Madeline are so cool.

We're truly grateful.

Our boxers have matches next week,

- For sure. - and being able to spar...

with the best boxers was a great honor.

Every sparring session felt like the best.

- Yes. - Absolutely.

So, breathe.

I could see you were getting tired...

because you were breathing very fast.

Breathe slowly, and you'll have more energy.

And you will win.

Thank you.

Listen to your coaches and trust your preparation.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

- Thank you. - Great work.

Thank you.

(After completing such rewarding sparring sessions)

You were all so cool.

All four of us were amazing. We did really well.

Before we analyze the videos,

let's hear about the sparring sessions.

Since they were foreign boxers,

- I was a bit nervous at first. - Right.

But I really liked how focused I remained despite being nervous.

Even I could tell that...

you were much more nervous in this sparring than in the others.

Your eyes were wide open in the headgear,

completely focused.

It felt like all your concentration was focused...

- I loved it. - on your opponent.

Here's what I learned today.

Smiling in the middle of a sparring session?

That puts intense pressure...

- on the opponent. - Exactly.

If I ever get the chance to do it...

(Smiling)

(Madness skill has been unlocked.)

At least once.

I'll mess with it.

- Someone's mind. - That's essential.

After Coach Kim's review last time,

I focused on trying new techniques.

It's true that I need to adjust my techniques...

depending on the opponent,

but I became too fixated on my goal...

and didn't think outside the box.

I realized I shouldn't set a rigid goal before stepping into the ring.

Either way, let's watch the videos of your sessions...

and analyze your strengths and weaknesses.

All right. We'll start with Ju Hyun's sessions.

I will gladly accept feedback.

Okay. What Ju Hyun was good at...

was throwing jabs...

to provoke the opponent, so she could watch their rear hand.

Ju Hyun kept that going.

As you can see, Ju Hyun jabbed at the opponent's stomach...

and then landed two low blows.

That was great.

Watch carefully. Right here.

(After watching the opponent retreat)

Punch. This is what I mean.

That just now was amazing.

(Stepping back while tracking the rear hand)

If the opponent didn't attack, Ju Hyun would jab at her.

She used jabs to provoke the opponent. Nice.

(After a jab)

Look. She's watching, right?

After throwing a jab, Ju Hyun kept looking at the rear hand.

Retreating after throwing a punch was effective too.

- Keeping the distance was great. - Ju Hyun is scary.

Whenever I throw a jab, the opponent always responds.

That technique works very well,

and she executes it skillfully.

Ju Hyun’s strength is that...

no matter which sparring session it is, she remains calm.

I agree.

She has excellent footwork...

and has her own rhythm.

Watch her.

- Another one-two. - Nice.

Move away. Yes, that's how you retreat.

She's like, "Come at me."

And then, she strikes. That's a good move.

While moving sideways.

That was great just now.

(Backstep)

Punch and retreat.

She did an excellent job.

But...

But when exchanging blows,

your punches tend to get big.

Right.

Move in. Come on.

Watch closely. Your hand slips backward.

- Look. It slips backward, right? - It moves outward.

Exactly.

Watch this footage.

You lower your hand.

If you had tightened your punches during the consecutive hits,

it would have been much better.

You understand why I had you do ducking and hooks, right?

I'll practice punching at short distances.

And look at this footage.

(Ju Hyun was cornered during the fight.)

Yes, but in these situations...

In these situations, you need to retreat.

I clearly heard you telling me to move out.

But I couldn't because of the rage from getting hit.

I got struck right when I needed to retreat.

But to retreat immediately? No way.

With that, I tried to hit her more.

That's incredible.

That's true madness.

- I should've moved back, right? - Still,

you can tell that you should've moved back...

when you watch the video.

- That's how you learn. - That's right.

If you improve yourself in such aspects,

you'll be ready for the competition.

- You did well. - You did very well.

You're cool.

I survived today as well.

Now,

Uie is next.

You need to pay attention...

to which techniques your opponent used often on you.

Look at this. Here.

Push, punch.

(The opponent's attacking pattern 1: Parry, two)

(Low)

(High)

She kept going for low and high.

(The opponent's attacking pattern 2: Low, high)

All right.

Walk, punch. Walk, punch again.

(The opponent's attacking pattern repeated itself in Round 1.)

Then she punched the stomach.

She's fast.

(Uie was helpless against the opponent's attacks.)

She's blocking the attacks.

Uie, you need to think about this...

when you watch the video.

- Okay. - "That's how the opponent attacks."

"At which timing..."

- "should I go for two?" - I see.

Think about that only.

Then you'll improve.

However, you kept waiting.

Then your opponent will read that.

Then she thought about which techniques she should use.

When I tell you not to attack first,

I want you to make your opponent attack first.

That's what I mean when I tell you not to attack first.

Watch.

Punch.

That was nice.

You punched from the spot.

- You did it with confidence. - Yes.

- Your punch landed. - Well done.

Another punch.

Your one-two punches landed.

You did well.

You did well just now. You did really well.

After that punch landed,

your opponent couldn't come closer.

(Flustered)

The opponent became flustered.

I think I became a bit confident at that time.

You did very well toward the end of Round One.

- That's right. You did well. - That was...

because your punches landed on the opponent.

- Thus, in Round 2, - Round 2.

- I told you to keep going. - Yes.

You were cool in Round Two.

She changed as if someone pressed the button...

- to turn on the booster mode. - I know.

All right. Watch...

how the dynamics changed in Round Two.

Okay.

Punch.

Then you punched again.

Retreat.

Punch.

Your punches landed.

You punched and moved back.

(Her attacking pattern was the same, but the punches landed.)

Uie, you just need to be good at punching...

and stepping back.

- You're that type of boxer. - That's right.

Her reach is very long.

You can see how well you did, right?

Every time threw a punch, it landed.

You went it again.

(Uie cornered the opponent with enthusiasm.)

You went it again.

You followed the opponent.

She got cornered.

She's tired. She needed rest, but Uie didn't back down.

That was why she got cornered.

She put her guard down.

She couldn't do the footwork.

(With the same energy, Uie cornered her until the end.)

Watch. Like that, you threw multiple punches.

Had you done Routine One...

Backstep, one, two. Had you done that,

the opponent would've stood down right away.

Watch.

Like that,

you dodged. You should've attacked then.

But you ran.

You ran.

The opponent was tired.

She took a lot of damage.

That was why she threw the last punch.

Had you dodged and attacked,

she would've been knocked out.

But you stepped back at that time.

(Had it been a real match, she could've ended the opponent.)

The thing is, my opponent put up her guard...

like this.

It was my first time seeing it in sparring.

I didn't know what it meant.

You were supposed to punch her.

If that situation occurs during the competition,

keep punching her.

Punch her body.

- Make her stand down. - Okay.

- Understood. - You did well today.

You were like different people...

- in Round 1 and Round 2. - Seriously.

The third one is Sae Rok.

Okay.

Did you see the body shot?

Let's watch again.

(Sae Rok)

You took a body shot. Did you see that? Okay.

Punch.

It went in cleanly.

(She took a body shot in an instant.)

Why did you take the body shot?

(The reason why Sae Rok took the body shot)

Look at the hand behind you.

(One arm was in the back.)

Sae Rok,

had you returned the fist to the original position quickly,

you wouldn't have taken the shot.

(Meanwhile, her body was exposed.)

Watch.

(In another two-movement, )

(her arm was behind her again.)

(Her body kept getting exposed to attacks.)

What's wrong with her?

- Why do I do that? - It's like...

"Take my two!"

"Take this!"

The opponent's coach told you...

- To attack faster. - to attack a bit faster.

- That's right. - Yes.

This is the reason.

So,

rub salt on your wound...

- and recover quickly. - Okay.

However, Sae Rok was not an easy opponent either.

She got back up.

(Even after she took another body shot)

You kept throwing jabs.

- That's it. Good. You did well. - You're doing good.

She was so determined.

She turned into Determined Sae Rok.

(Determined Sae Rok refused to go down.)

Also, I think today's sparring was good.

After throwing a punch,

you do a better job of stepping back for defense.

After throwing a punch, you move this way.

After throwing a punch, you move that way.

(In the last sparring, )

(Sae Rok punched once and got punched twice.)

(She took so many punches.)

Watch. Punch.

Punch.

You moved to the side.

You moved.

(She retreated.)

Punch, punch, jab.

(She puts a distance between them with jabs.)

There you go. You ran again.

You moved to the side again.

Your defense after a punch improved a lot.

She can attack and defend at the same time.

That means...

your stamina has improved.

That's right. Since your stamina has improved,

you can keep moving.

After throwing a punch,

you keep moving instinctively.

You've improved.

Your stamina has improved. It's good.

Your timing has improved too.

(Rocky Keum showed a noticeable improvement.)

Your turn has improved a lot.

- The last one is In Ah. - Gosh.

My opponent was scary.

The thing is, I saw you become a bit flustered...

because the opponent was good.

But your opponent was ten times more flustered.

Watch.

Slide. You guys exchanged jabs.

Then you moved.

Both of you guys had great footwork and rhythm.

Like a fearless lion, you moved in.

Let me tell you what I liked about this sparring.

Back in the day, you did this when the opponent attacked.

But now, you put up your guard in order to defend yourself.

Here. Watch.

(In Ah)

(In the previous sparring, )

(her head turned when she took multiple punches.)

(Her guard went down against her intention.)

(How is In Ah now?)

Watch.

After punching low and high...

She did very well.

You put up your guard as you watched your opponent.

She was like a hyena. Gosh.

You did well without getting intimidated.

How cool.

Watch.

Watch. Here.

I was like, "Is this the end? Is she in danger?"

(She put up her guard and attacked.)

The timing was great.

(She put up her guard at the perfect timing.)

Good.

I think she grew again.

She's different from the past.

In the past,

- when she took the damage, - That's right.

She either turned her head or stopped.

- That's right. - She stopped. That's right.

- But she continued to attack. - That's right.

I realized then...

- that she became stronger. - That's right.

And when the opponent came closer,

you threw a two. That was...

That was very impressive.

The timing was perfect.

Watch.

You guys were watching each other.

(Backstep)

(Two)

(She retreated...)

(and threw a two.)

It was so nice.

It was great. Again, two.

You punched as well. Yes.

She's owning it.

You went on until the end.

You did well until the end.

Even though the punch didn't land, it was great.

Watch. You put up your guard.

(Putting up her guard)

That's it.

You punched again.

She did very well.

(She focused until the end and threw a punch.)

You threw a two, but the opponent cross-countered.

She came closer.

You guys had the same rhythm.

Punch. Right?

(The opponent threw a cross-counter.)

Let's watch again.

(They attacked at the same time.)

Your opponent threw a cross-counter.

And you took a hit.

(Valid strike)

(The opponent's cross-counter landed.)

Despite the cross-counter, you did well. It's okay.

You just need to practice...

- the cross-counter. - Okay.

Yes. In Ah, you did well until the end.

It's fun. I want to do it again.

I think it's good as long as you do your best...

in the ring.

In my opinion, everyone did that today.

- That's right. - Seriously.

That's why I'm in a good mood today.

- Everyone did well today. - It's so nice.

I didn't know that our coach had so many straight teeth.

- Please smile. - I see.

I'm really satisfied with today's sparring.

Seriously.

- Thank you. - I'm close to tears.

Coach's compliment is sweet.

- It's so rare. - Yes.

(The first day at Phuket nears its end.)

Let's go.

(Iron Girls head over to the lodging after the training.)

We've arrived at the lodging.

Let's go.

- I'm curious. - Let's go.

(Exclaiming)

Is it a two-story house?

- It looks nice. - Gosh.

You look nice

(The lodging makes them sing.)

(They finally enter the lodging.)

(Exclaiming)

- What? - Gosh.

- Why is it so big? - What?

This is insane. What's this?

(What's this?)

- It's so nice. I can't believe it. - What's this?

I want to jump into it right away.

It's fancy.

(This is where the Iron Girls will be staying today.)

(The Phuket trip finally feels like a vacation, )

(after they've been training all day.)

This is so cool.

This feels like the house of a crime boss.

- What is this place? - I love it here.

- Whose house is this? - Is this a model home.

Wait, I want to go inside the pool.

I can't believe we get to stay here.

This place is amazing.

- Gosh. - Seriously. This place is great.

I've never stayed at a place like this before.

(What in the world?)

- There's a pool table. - What?

- There's a pool table here? - What's going on?

Gosh.

Look at that painting.

- What is this place? - This house feels so romantic.

How many rooms are there?

(The enormous living room)

(The neatly organized bedroom)

(The Iron Girls made it through a grueling day, )

(and this house will help them relax and recharge.)

(Gosh, I'm so excited.)

(Gosh, I'm so excited.)

I love it here.

I can’t get over how nice this place is.

This place is incredible.

This is way too generous. What do they have in store for us tomorrow?

I'm scared about tomorrow.

What if we get beaten up?

Honestly, if this is the price for getting beaten up,

I'm okay with that.

- Me too. - Me too. I'd rather be beaten up...

- and live here. - Me too.

Gosh. Hey! In Ah. Ju Hyun.

Isn't this a mangosteen?

We've been wanting to eat this.

Mangosteen.

Mangosteen.

(Ju Hyun takes a seat at the table.)

I'm suddenly feeling energized.

(She starts fueling her body with mangosteen.)

(Nibbling)

This is really good.

(Sae Rok joins her.)

(Delicious)

Forget about showering.

- This mangosteen is my priority. - Yes.

It’s so perfectly ripe.

I can't stop eating it.

- Stop. - No, Ju Hyun.

Eat the rest tomorrow.

- Seriously, finish it tomorrow. - She's already gone through it.

(Ju Hyun finished the mangosteen already.)

We really have to shower and go to sleep.

You have to eat the rest tomorrow.

Why do I feel so energized?

- Is it because of the mangosteen? - Yes.

Let's shower.

(The Iron Girls have gathered in the living room again.)

She's so funny. Whenever I say something,

she goes, "What?" or "That's not the point."

Uie always says, "You got this!" "You got this, Sae Rok!"

Always with a smile on her face. "You got this!"

Meanwhile, I'm the worst coward in the boxing ring.

I get so intimidated.

(Even after a whole day together, the conversation never stops.)

Uie, teach us how to dance.

Yes, teach us how to dance.

How do we do this?

You're doing it right.

But you look...

(Girls’ night is in full swing.)

(Iron School, let's go! Featuring After School)

You’ve been doing jump rope since then.

- Diva - Diva

(The choreography is ingrained in her body.)

Gosh, that's Uie!

That's Uie of After School!

(She's exuding her idol energy.)

(You're doing great, Kim Uie.)

- Amazing! - You're awesome.

(In awe)

Gosh, that was amazing.

- Show us some more. - You're so cool.

That's all I remember.

- That was so impressive. - Your stamina is incredible.

(Uie, your stamina is incredible.)

I'm so glad I decided to do Iron Girls.

(On the first night in Phuket, )

(their conversations carried on late into the night.)

(Day 2 of the Phuket Training Camp)

(He is waiting for the Iron Girls.)

(A boxing world champion?)

I can't believe we get to meet a world champion.

(The world’s number 1 boxer)

You'll be sparring against me.

(Are we sparring with her?)

She disappeared.

(Which Iron Girl will get the champion’s approval?)

(Finally)

(The highly anticipated first competition)

My heart is pounding.

I can do this.

I can do this.

(Time to see all that hard work pay off)

In the Red Corner,

Geum Sae Rok of Iron Girls.

- You got this! - You got this!

(They have 3 minutes to showcase...)

(all the hard work and sacrifice from the past 3 months.)

She must be so nervous.

(Will the Iron Girls be able to become champions?)
