'I AM BOXER's developing character Yuk Jun-seo appears poised to make a big impact.
Today (the 9th) at 8:30 p.m., tvN 'I AM BOXER' (directed by Lee Won-woong, writer Kang Sook-kyung) episode 8 will feature Yuk Jun-seo vs. Cho Hyun, Lee Chae-hyun vs. Lee Ki-jun, and Kwon Oh-gon vs. Hong Seong-min in an unpredictable quarterfinal.
Earlier, in the first quarterfinal match, 'Body Killer' Guk Seung-jun defeated 'Shotgun' Kim Hyun-jun to advance to the semifinals. The protagonists of the second match are 'Blaze' Yuk Jun-seo, who has one year of boxing experience and had faced opponents in a three-way match, and elite boxer 'Pretty Boy' Cho Hyun, and Yuk Jun-seo had earlier unsettled Cho Hyun with a changed boxing style.
In particular, an all-time great moment that surprises MC Kim Jong Kook and the live audience is born. The atmosphere at the venue heats up as Yuk Jun-seo persistently looks for opportunities using a single right-hand punch as his weapon. MC Dex could not contain his excitement, saying, "Wow, is this even possible?" and master Don Lee said, "Cho Hyun must be meeting such a violent opponent for the first time," raising curiosity about what unfolded.
Meanwhile, the bout that Don Lee called a classic between 'Thunder' Kwon Oh-gon and 'Tyson' Hong Seong-min turns into a battle of speed and power that raises dopamine. Above all, Kwon Oh-gon, who returned to the ring after three years, uses his strength—explosive momentary speed—and unleashes attacks so fast that punches are hard to see, rattling Hong Seong-min. Viewers are curious whether Kwon Oh-gon, making a long-awaited comeback, can defeat another veteran, Hong Seong-min.
Meanwhile, 'Prince' Lee Chae-hyun meets the formidable 'Striker' Lee Ki-jun. Lee Ki-jun switches freely between orthodox stance for right-handers and southpaw for left-handers, continuing to attack in a tricky way. The boxer who advances to the semifinals between Lee Chae-hyun and Lee Ki-jun will be revealed tonight (the 9th) at 8:30 p.m. on tvN 'I AM BOXER'.
