Action Boys Page #3

Ah, the way he sits there

seems telling of his gloomy life.

That scared me to death! Really!

How could I possibly

be asleep on set?

You looked like you were asleep.

I wasn't sleeping.

I was thinking!

What were you thinking?

How to pay off my debt perhaps?

How did he fall into debt anyway?

A pyramid scam maybe?

My friends back home,

they're most amazed about...

how I've never been involved

in a pyramid scam.

Even though I'm really gullible,

I didn't fall for that.

Don't you need money first

to get involved in a pyramid scam?

Maybe that's why.

Since you have none.

Right! Cause I have debt.

I'd have to pay that off first

before I could even...

Then sometimes,

being penniless is a good thing.

Of course! Do you know why?

I have terrible credit.

So no one asks me

to sign for a loan.

I couldn't get one

even if I wanted to.

A bank would never approve it!

Because of my bad credit!

So it's cool!

What do you think of Gui-duck

as a stuntman?

Stuntmen get hurt

all the time, right?

They get hurt and can't work

even if they want to.

Well, he never gets hurt!

So why doesn't he work more?

He's never injured.

Why isn't he available?

I don't get it.

Sye-jin has not been in Seoul

for the last 4 years.

So he doesn't seem to be feeling

Gui-duck's aura these days.

Presently,

Gui-duck is extremely busy.

He does more car-stunt jobs than

any other stunt school member.

I joined up because

I really wanted to be on TV.

But it hasn't been easy.

I was too caught up

in the fantasy.

To do this, you really have to

risk your life.

If I were afraid to die,

if that thought

ever crossed my mind,

then I shouldn't be

doing this work.

I wouldn't be able to.

The movie "The Host"

I have a small fear of heights.

When I'm way up high,

honestly, my legs shake.

They really do.

But I have to do this.

It's not like

I can just come down.

Because frankly,

it'd be too embarrassing.

There's no going back now so...

I just squeeze my eyes shut

and jump.

Come this way and smash it there.

Right into there?

Isn't it dangerous

that you can't see out?

Yeah... it's hard.

I need to be able to see

in order to hit the right spot.

If I'm off by a little,

there'll be an accident.

It's not an easy situation.

But I'll do my best.

Jin-seock is busy scattering cement

to make the stunt look better.

Tension builds on the set.

Gui-duck doesn't look happy

as he gets out of the car.

Stunt director Doo-hong Jung's

face also hardens.

Apologetic, Gui-duck quickly begins

to set up for another take.

But there is no way to stop

the approaching dawn.

Ultimately, they have to wrap.

Gui-duck runs about busily

to clean up.

So does Jin-seock...

As well as Sung-il.

But Sye-jin is in deep slumber.

How did Sye-jin Jeon get in?

- Who?

- Sye-jin Jeon.

Sye-jin Jeon? Sye-jin Jeon?!

I went to Jeju and learned to ride

in order to become a stuntman.

You mean how to fall off horses

and stuff like that?

- Yes.

- You can do that stuff?

Falling down is

a way of life for us.

We ride up front, fall off back,

then get up good as new

to ride again.

Falling down...

is a piece of cake!

Lots of guys talk big like you.

But then they get to set and

end up leaving by ambulance.

I'm on a completely

different level.

I think he was smarter

than the others.

Oh, he was different.

In my case...

I don't get on the normal way.

I come over and hop on like this.

It's not like you can bring

a horse to the audition.

He knew it'd be impossible

to prove his skills right there.

After I hop on like this...

Giddyup!

Then we ride like this

for a little!

Then I hop back and forth!

Then I run along side like this

and then jump back on.

I can do all that.

I wish for him to live quietly and

farm in the country somewhere.

And not get into any trouble.

And not do foolish...

foolish things.

Just to stay out of trouble.

After watching

Sye-jin's audition,

we became curious

about the others.

Yong-seong JOO

I've watched and imitated many films.

I'll show you what I do best.

Accepted due to one judge

being a huge Jackie Chan fan.

Kyung-min KIM

At my audition,

I did a little Tai Chi.

I don't think I did it very well.

But I did do a little

mind control exercise before.

'Today is my day. Don't be nervous.

I'm the best. I'm the best.'

So I wasn't nervous and

I think that really helped.

I am Kyung-min Kim,

born in 1980.

I've come from Daegu.

I'm here to learn stunts.

Accepted solely

on his good Tai Chi.

Is there any last thing

you'd like to say?

I really want to do it.

What is it that you want to do?

Specifically?

'I want to do it.'

What's that supposed to mean?

Stunts.

Ah! So you're

talking about stunts?

- Yes.

- You can be misunderstood, you know.

If you say it like that.

'I want to do it.'

What is it you want to do?

Moon-cheol KWON

I'm here because

I really want to do stunts.

Thank you.

Though the youngest,

he passed with the highest score.

After two ligament ruptures

and one surgery on his knee,

Moon-cheol has given up

his 4 year career as a stuntman

to chase after a new dream:

Singing.

They transplanted those

from a dead person in the US.

Right now inside my knee,

there are ligaments of someone

I've never met from the US.

At my second surgery,

I joked to the doctor

to give me some of a black man.

So I'd be more flexible.

Ah-young KWON:
Friend of Moon-cheol

Whenever I call him,

he's in the hospital.

So I often say

all the money you make

ends up going to the hospital.

And also that his parents

must be worried.

Sometimes, he hides his injuries

from them because he's sorry...

I think to make excuses

is to admit my limit.

In "Million Dollar Baby",

the heroine

who's a boxer says that

she's willing to risk everything

for the dream that only she can see.

For the dream that

only I can see...

Moon-cheol is giving it his all

in pursuit of a new dream.

What about

the unsuccessful auditions?

They didn't get

the chance to dream.

At the 8th year auditions,

what were the guys like overall?

They were all sorts and

they showed us all sorts of things.

They came from everywhere,

from all over.

So it was a lot of fun.

Personality was very important.

We looked at that first. Character.

We can't stand

the pretentious ones.

Rejected due

to pretentious expression.

I'm from the Marine Corps.

Judging from your ears and height,

you seem like a wrestler.

Have you wrestled before?

For how long?

Excuse me?

My ears are naturally

like this...

I don't want to be this way...

I don't know why

my girlfriend dumped me

a month before my discharge.

Rejected because he couldn't

understand the question.

Hold it.

I asked you your specialty.

Why did you take your shirt off?

I'm a bodybuilding major

at Yong-in University

so this is my specialty.

Rejected due to

that being his specialty.

Hello. I'm 31 and

I've trained

in Taekkyeon for 8 years.

I shall meditate now.

What? Meditate?
