Yui, Geum Saerok, Park Ju-hyun, and Seol In-a are progressing toward being boxing champions while depicting their growth curve.
On the 25th, the third episode of tvN's 'Iron Girls 2' (directed by Bang Geul-yi) aired, showing the Iron Girls developing their fitness and strength through the 'Fighting Women Training Camp.' After just two weeks of boxing training, they showed noticeably transformed appearances, sending positive energy to the viewers.
Following last week, the 'Fighting Women Training Camp' featured 16 of the best fighting women in Korea, including special martial arts, taekwondo, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu, to apply each team's training in special physical training. Yui sought permission from other teams for Kim Dong-hyun to participate in place of Park Ju-hyun, who was absent due to a traffic accident, and when players reacted coolly, including Jang Eun-sil, who said, 'It probably won't matter much,' it rather surprised Kim Dong-hyun and caused laughter.
For the first training, they changed the farmers carry exercise done by jiu-jitsu players to 5kg sandbags instead of kettlebells. The method was for the team that moved the most sandbags among 800 bags located 25m away to their team box within 5 minutes to win, and the Iron Girls excelled by moving 133 bags, but unfortunately finished last by just one bag compared to the taekwondo team. First place went to the wrestling team, who moved a total of 890kg with a strategy of moving 8 bags of 40kg at a time, totaling 178 bags.
In the next training, during the agility running, Geum Saerok created a turnaround by surviving the longest among the Iron Girls members, becoming the 'Lucky Rockee.' Even while being far behind, one flag remained for Geum Saerok, waiting like fortune. She showcased her agility by seizing the remaining flags while saying, 'The flags are waiting for me,' and 'You never expect what's coming in sports,' adding fun to the moment.
The wrestling team won the agility running, but in the relay duck-walk, Jang Eun-sil was disqualified after touching her knees to the ground, allowing the taekwondo team to win one. During training to flip a 210kg tire while covering 50m, Yui, Geum Saerok, and Seol In-a carefully followed Kim Dong-hyun's commands and reversed the special martial arts team, securing third place with an enduring Iron spirit, earning applause.
After the training camp, the Iron Girls, who spent two weeks in boxing training, became adept at wrapping their hands, and Geum Saerok, who had trouble with skipping rope, transformed into a skipping ace, capturing attention. She dedicated herself to learning new attacking techniques, such as the uppercut, and evasive techniques, like ducking and weaving, from Coach Kim Ji-hoon, generating enthusiasm.
In the subsequent 3-minute mitt work, the growth of the members was evident. Two weeks ago, Park Ju-hyun had an open guard, but she fixed her guard while moving, and Yui, who had difficulties throwing hooks, utilized her waist to enhance the impact and accurately executed hooks with her arms bent at a 'ㄱ' shape. Seol In-a displayed her potential as a boxing prospect by speeding up her steps and punch speed while applying the techniques learned that day. Geum Saerok, who had been weak in stamina, also succeeded in enduring for 3 minutes.
Additionally, Geum Saerok and Seol In-a, along with Yui and Park Ju-hyun, practiced by exchanging attacks and defenses following a set routine, creating interest in training to overcome fear against the opponent's attacks. Geum Saerok, unfazed even by Seol In-a's full-power punch, continued to engage, while Seol In-a, feeling scared, pushed back with an even stronger punch, heightening the immersion. On the other hand, Park Ju-hyun retaliated with full power after Yui faked and launched a surprise one-two, pouring passion into the simulation as if it were an actual match.
In this way, 'Iron Girls 2,' which moves forward together toward their goals, airs every Friday evening at 8:50 p.m.
