The curtain rises on the unpredictable quarterfinals of I AM BOXER.
In episode 7 of tvN I AM BOXER (directed by Lee Won-woong, written by Kang Sook-kyung), airing today (the 2nd), Cho Hyun-jae, Lee Chae-hyun, Kwon Oh-gon, Lee Ki-jun, Hong Seong-min and three additional survivors for a total of eight boxers advance to the quarterfinals, where winners and losers will be decided in one-on-one professional boxing matches.
First, master Don Lee, MC Kim Jong Kook and the four-time fight survivors Cho Hyun-jae, Lee Chae-hyun, Kwon Oh-gon, Lee Ki-jun and Hong Seong-min and the three additional survivors who gained a last chance through the death match are shown at a dinner. Viewers will see the boxers, who showed no mercy in the ring, in a different light dressed in tuxedos, and each will also announce the intense ring name they chose.
In particular, news that the quarterfinals will be held as one-on-one professional boxing matches with three minutes per round and a total of six rounds makes the boxers suddenly nervous. It also increases curiosity by announcing not only the top matchups such as "Sniper" Kim Min-wook, "boxing ghost" Kim Dong-hoe, Hong Seong-min, the "Tyson" who defeated Kim Taek-min, who won 14 consecutive national sports festival titles, and former lightweight and super lightweight champion "Thunder" Kwon Oh-gon, but also matchups whose results are intriguing.
Meanwhile, the quarterfinals become even hotter with a large live audience present. In addition, with formidable boxers appearing from the first match and Don Lee, who knows the fighters inside and out, saying, "The match looks like it will be explosive," attention is focused on the show.
Meanwhile, in the broadcast that day, of the 10 who were eliminated in the fourth fight, Guk Seung-jun and Park Young-ho, Shin Dong-hyun and Kim Hyun-jun, Yuk Jun-seo and Kim Min-woo gain a death match opportunity and engage in a tenacious close battle. All eyes are on who the three additional qualifiers advancing to the quarterfinals will be.
