it'll be a disaster.

His grim expression tells us

how much pain he is in.

He comments on his injuries

after he is done shooting.

Stuntman Yeon-gyu YUN

I usually smile a lot.

Even when I get hurt.

Who'd like it if I got mad

for getting hurt?

After visiting the fortune teller

5 months ago,

Sye-jin started looking

for the right tattoo parlor.

Today,

his tattoo will be completed.

She did say the bigger the tiger

the better...

But does it need to be this big?

Actually, Sye-jin didn't mean for it

to get so big either.

In the beginning, his plan was to have

just the head of a tiger.

But the first tattooist

took his money and ran off

leaving only half a tiger head

on his back.

Sye-jin finds a second tattooist

to finish the tiger head.

This one states

frankly with regret

no energy can come

from a head alone.

Sye-jin decides to

let the tiger have a body.

But the second tattooist also

runs away with his money

leaving just a tiger head

on his back.

At present,

the third tattooist...

He insists,

in terms of composition,

Sye-jin needs a dragon with the tiger

for the picture to work.

In this manner,

what started as the head of a tiger

has expanded into a fight scene

between a tiger and a dragon.

It now covers

Sye-jin's entire back.

He has spent over $4500 on this.

So, like the fortune teller said,

has this tattoo been helpful?

"Can you pull your pants

down a bit?"

I say "Yes!"

And pull down my pants.

"This will hurt some but

I'll do my best so it doesn't."

And she even rubs it gently.

Then she says, "Are you okay?"

It's great.

They treat me different!

Monthly rentals are pricey these days.

Around $400-$500, I think.

A friend of mine

lives in a motel...

- Your friend lives in a motel?

- Yeah.

Really?

What world do you live in?

Don't you know

monthly rentals? Huh?

You pay per month for a room!

At this age, Sye-jin is sponging off

a friend living in a motel.

How did he come up

with $4500 anyway?

Try one out!

Why don't you wear hairpins?

A girl should wear hairpins.

And earrings...

Business isn't so great today.

So Sye-jin starts to dance

to gain people's favor.

- This results in...

- I don't see any.

...someone reporting him

to the police.

Did the other guys see any?

Wow, 8 policemen appeared

out of nowhere.

They snapped all these pictures.

They're like "You can't vend here.

We're confiscating this."

And they did. I stood there frozen.

"Yes, sir..."

Set of TV show

"Time between Dog and Wolf"

Today, Sung-il has a car stunt.

The stuntmen are

eating lunch on set.

Their table:
A car hood.

Hey, you didn't look so hot

last time.

Like someone

who smoked some weed.

You were totally out of it.

When he got out of the car,

he wasn't wearing a helmet.

He was so nervous that

he forgot to tighten the strap.

So it was just sitting

on his head.

I mean... That's really dangerous.

It's so easy to injure your neck.

In an instant, you become this.

"Mom, feed me."

Clip of car stunt where

his helmet came off

Hey, his helmet came off!

Why wasn't his helmet strapped on?

Sung-il, why did

your helmet come off?

You forgot to strap it,

didn't you?

I told you to strap it in!

Everyone gets nervous

before a stunt.

Sure... there's lots of pressure.

But his mind's a total blank.

Please pan the camera.

He's sleeping

like nothing's going on.

But after he wakes up, he starts to

chain-smoke wordlessly as if nervous.

There's an ominous mood in the air.

An accident!

The roof of the car is crushed!

Stunt car roofs are specially made

not to cave in to protect stuntmen.

A crushed roof means Sung-il is hurt.

As soon as 'cut' is yelled,

all the stuntmen rush to Sung-il.

How badly is he hurt?

It is a long time before Sung-il is

barely able to get out of the car

once the seatbelt is cut.

Fortunately,

he is not seriously hurt.

Yet, he looks apologetic

for worrying his colleagues.

He quietly leaves the set.

We visit the set of a short film

where stunt director Won-jung Kim

is helping out.

Uh... who hit me?

Hey, come and see your part.

This will be better

with some contact.

They're 10th and

11th year members.

So only Moon-cheol is 8th year?

Yes. He's a big shot to them.

So he's got

to show them something.

We had a reunion with Moon-cheol

who was making a special appearance

in the film at Kim's request.

Wow!

Cut!

What about singing?

- I'm preparing.

- What about auditions?

I'm going to make a recording.

A recording? A demo?

I'm going to make some demo tapes

and hand them to recording studios.

I've already taken

profile pictures.

Not only that, he has already given

studios a profile video of himself.

He made this video himself.

A stuntman needs to have

basic editing skills.

Before a shoot,

they shoot stimulations

and modify sequences

to perfect stunts.

Through this process,

stuntmen grow into stunt directors.

Four years ago, Gui-duck pointed

to himself on a TV show.

Who could predict 4 years later

Gui-duck would be the

stunt director of the same show?

Stuntman Cheol-woo LEE

What do you think of Gui-duck?

In terms of car stunts

he is now...

the best of our school.

He started stunts late

but already...

He's pretty much making his debut

as stunt director now.

Gui-duck has always received

orders through the walkie.

But today, he's giving them

through the walkie.

Please put a little more

speed on it, Jeong-wook.

Copy that.

Action!

Why did the Tiburon stop?

A problem has occurred.

They still have things to shoot

but the cars are unable to move.

Gui-duck and

the stuntmen's faces grow dark.

The Tiburon wasn't

supposed to stop.

It was supposed to keep going,

then swing around and stop.

It needed to go further

but since it just stopped...

It doesn't feel like an accident.

It just looks like it swiped it.

- Are you gonna use rollers?

- Huh?

Let's put rollers under

with a jack.

- That's the best idea.

- Shall we do that?

We're going to connect cables here

and pull. From the front...

When we pull,

it's got to thrust out.

There'll be rollers

under the wheels.

One push and

that car will move fine.

We have something

to attach to the car.

It's like a roller.

And when we pull...

It'll spin around.

We'd like to try...

What do you mean?

We'll put rollers on here!

Outfit square boards

with rollers.

So the car can move.

Then what? We can't shoot this.

- We're done, aren't we?

- No, we line the cars up

and pull them with cable.

We can get them crashing

and spinning.

Is that going to work right now?

What Gui-duck wants

to try is this.

Put rollers under

the Tiburon's back wheels.

Connect taxi to truck with cables.

Put Tiburon between taxi and truck.

Using the truck's power,

pull taxi forward crashing it

into the Tiburon.

Because of the rollers,

the impact will spin

the Tiburon's back around.

On TV, it'll look like

a speeding taxi

and a Tiburon actually crashing.

But the director can't understand
