What's with the meditation?

Rejected due

to meditating for 5 min.

There was this Taekkyeon guy.

I don't think he did his best.

No sincerity.

So he was rejected.

There was also one

with strange ears.

He was really enthusiastic.

We should've accepted him.

I really regret that now.

I was in a car accident.

- Your ears too?

- No, I just injured my legs.

But I have to stay in the hospital

for a long time anyway so...

My ears always

shook my confidence.

So I had them done.

Can you see?

Do you think you were rejected

because of your ears?

Absolutely!

I'm not lacking anywhere else,

in looks, acting ability, etc...

Then say a word to your ex

who left because of your ears.

Just wait until

my ears are fixed and...

Your ears!

There was this guy who did aerobics.

He worked hard but...

He was so pretentious.

Like I said, we don't

like the pretentious ones.

It was very hard

at the time... very...

But now,

I think it was for the best.

I did want to become

a famous action star.

But now I've become a famous

aerobic teacher in this area.

I even get presents

on Teacher's Day.

I feel like it's worthwhile work.

I'm happy... very.

A lot of useless guys

were accepted.

Now many of the rejected

applicants are working full swing

while most of our guys

are just loafing.

They don't work.

They're basically loafers.

At least,

there's Gui-duck who has thrown

himself into stunts for 4 years.

We go to visit a gym in Incheon where

today, Gui-duck makes his debut

as assistant stunt director.

A charismatic Gui-duck

at the center of set

controls the movements

of all the crew and actors.

We're very curious to know

what kind of movie this is.

The title is "Champion Mabbaki".

Grab Mabbaki's gaze first

...and then start, okay?

By the way, what do you think

of my girlfriend?

Put some clothes on!

Still,

I'm almost at second base...

Draw her some nipples please!

Jin-seock is busy pumping up for

yet another topless scene.

He got the role opposite Mabbaki

solely on his boxing skills.

Your next reaction is important.

He's just blocked you, right?

So be like 'damn it' and

looking for your next move...

Were you ever knocked out

as a boxer?

I take my punches standing.

So then, he's never

been knocked out?

The gateway to boxing success

with a 40 year history.

The 2004 MBC Contenders!

Jin-seock's Mom

At first,

they gave him a grand intro.

They said he was

a hairdresser and...

- Red corner, from the Winners Gym...

- Contender Jin-seock Kwak.

Jin! Seock! Kwak!

Contender Kwak is a hairdresser.

The news filmed him

slipping and falling...

Mom, I never fell.

You did!

I took all those punches standing.

I was never knocked out.

...the punch connects and...

- Can it be, a knock out?

...no, Kwak pulls back and...

- Wow, he really did get hit standing!

And the bell.

The bell has saved him.

Jin-seock Kwak survives the round!

He called me and asked

"How was I, mom?"

Then he says, "Mom, buy lots of beef.

I need it for my bruises."

The result of getting pummeled

while standing:
A TKO.

Then that's a knock out,

isn't it?

I am impressed with Kwak's

fighting spirit and indomitable will.

- He really took a lot of punches.

- Yes.

Most male hairdressers are known

to be quite feminine but...

I wore my hair up

for about 20 years.

But as soon as he got his license,

he cut my hair.

When I told my mom I was going

to be a hairdresser she said,

"You're not handsome enough."

Then who does she think

is handsome?

Sung-il is handsome and...

How about Gui-duck?

Gui-duck is also...

He's the short one, right?

He's a little short but...

Of course for a guy,

he's quite handsome enough.

Still, Gui-duck is definitely

better looking than Mr. Mabbaki.

Who do you think

will win this fight?

Who do you think?

Even at a glance,

you can tell I'd lose.

However, it's a different story

in the movie.

They treated us right on

"Miracle on 1st Street".

The film "Miracle on 1st Street"

As actors...

They treated us like actors.

Once the director yelled 'Cut,'

they'd bring a cup of water

for the mouthpiece straightaway.

Here, they just keep asking me

to shake my legs...

On set that afternoon,

an actor in the scene

has disappeared.

They try to ease their boredom

by eating choco-pies.

But the actor doesn't return.

One person!

Because of just one person,

nearly 100...

Almost 100 people

are waiting around.

A crew member sleeps in a weird pose

as if to show his displeasure.

At last, the actor reappears.

Jin-seock, usually so good tempered,

looks scary angry.

F***ing d*ckhead actor!

How do you work with the f***er?

How I became interested

in acting was...

I got hit by the hero and

was on the ground...

And I was lying there in pain.

I was supposed to be dead.

Inside, I was thinking,

'Sh*t, this hurts! '

And I happened to look up

at the actor standing over me.

I thought, 'He gets to say

a few lines and make money.'

I was f***in' envious!

It looked so f***in' easy.

I was cold, trembling and at the edge.

And he looked so comfortable.

I'm personally interested

in gag comedy.

I'm thinking of maybe coming up

with a comical character...

Hello, everyone!

Oh hello, Mr. COCKDEVIL!

Wait, wait! Don't shoot!

Hi, Mr. HARDCOCK!

While they make up

this idiotic crap,

what is handsome Sung-il up to?

Sung-il is working

as Shin-yang Park's

stunt double

in the TV show Money War.

He seems more handsome

than the actor.

He gets into wardrobe

to get ready.

Doesn't he sort of look like

Tony Leung in Infernal Affairs?

We can't help but look forward

to his stuntwork.

But Shin-yang Park is as good

at stunts as he is at acting.

Consequently, the change

of wardrobe was for nothing.

All Sung-il did that day was...

...this one shot.

The day of wire stunts on "Mabbaki".

The actor wears an undershirt

to protect his skin.

One, two, three!

Cut!

After the actor's simple wire stunt,

it is the stuntman's turn.

But there is no protective undershirt

prepared for him.

They didn't get

an undershirt for me...

It's just basic common sense.

If you have stunts scheduled...

At least, prepare the basics.

Don't you think?

Ultimately, all wardrobe does is

tape a towel around him instead.

Still,

fabulous Mabbaki makeup job.

Gui-duck first demonstrates.

One, two, three!

The first attempt,

the height is too low.

Ready! One, two, three!

This time,

the actor is the problem.

You have to

lower yourself some more.

This action doesn't need to be big.

Just the throwing action needs

to be big. Then it'll be fine.

More problems, more injuries.

This time is fine. But before,

they let go and my head...

I blocked it with my fist

but I still hit my head.

My hand hurts too...

- Action!

- One, two, three!

Ultimately, it took over 30 takes

to get the wire stunt right.

- He's too short...

- He won't go over...

At times like this,

Gui-duck needs to step in.

Whoa, if you get your neck caught,
