last week's winner, Shin Jae-seok!

A new star is born!

Shin Jae-seok, you all right?

I didn't go down.

We're going to aggressively promote

this week's show.

A noodle shop owner

knocks down a professional athlete.

You're going to become

an overnight sensation!

While we are at it,

why don't we go for the 10th win?

I'm done.

Excuse me?

I just need $20,000.

A human shouldn't beat up others

and get kicked around for money

I think you habitually

only think about yourself.

What about our TV station

who just gave you $20,000?

I'm going to stop here.

You can ride this car home.

Thanks for everything.

Mr. Lim Deok-kyu!

Shouldn't you leave the cool stuff for

young ones in their 20s?

40-somethings should do

anything for money.

You got family.

See you in a few days.

Shouldn't you be home already?

You want me to take this cab?

Why don't you call the National

Intelligence chopper?

I told you I got fired.

If you want to be on TV so badly,

just go sit on the first row

of televised talent competitions.

Please don't edit anything

in my episode.

The managerial office of National

Intelligence must see this.

That arrogant b*tch.

How old are you?

My birthday is in January, 1970!

How long has it been?

25, 26 years?

It's been a while.

How are your parents?

With a son like me?

They are long gone

I'm sorry I couldn't go to the funerals

I didn't go either.

I was in the slammer.

How are your kids?

I'm a bachelor.

Don't I look like a college student?

Life is tough, huh?

Me? I'm doing all right.

This show was for fun.

Just wanted to warm up.

You still got the punch.

My ride is here. Wait!

If someone bothers you at work,

you call me.

And make a lot of money

at that stupid show.

Do you see the guys still?

The guys?

You know, Jin-ho and Sang-hoon

I haven't seen them

ever since then.

Really?

Let's grab a drink sometime.

Jae-seok.

You must had a tough time there.

I should've visited you.

Where?

The juvenile hall.

You mean the prison.

Are you sorry?

Yeah.

If you were sorry, you should've

let me win.

See you.

Why did you sit in the back?

I'm not your driver.

Sorry. That's my friend.

Just let me have this one today.

Huh?

What's with your face?

Did you lose today?

I'll tell you later.

Hurry and go.

You call yourself a gangster.

You're a disgrace to gangsters!

Oh, my head!

See you.

One, two. Faster!

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

You're late. One, two.

Wake up! Huh?

One touch.

Faster.

Why do we box?

To enhance the national prestige?

My ass!

We box because we want to get rich.

For poor people like you who don't study,

the only way to get rich is

getting a medal that pays pension

or becoming a boxing champion.

So work hard.

Yes, coach.

Until the Olympics in 1988,

let's work hard for one year.

Got it?

Yes.

- Dismissed.

- Thank you, coach.

You kids.

Lim Deok-kyu!

Deok-kyu!

What the f***?

I'm a junior here.

We're in the same class.

Sadang?

Yeah.

Don't hurt an innocent by-stander.

We only want to kick your ass.

Guys.

Just stop.

Sadang High kids! Just go!

Aren't you cocky?

Sadang High bastards

are just hopeless

I told you to go.

Let's go.

F***!

A**hole!

F***er

I'm sorry

I'm Lim Deok-kyu from

Sadang High

I'm an athlete

so I can't get in trouble.

See you later.

You stop right there.

Study hard guys.

We have to go to college.

Hey, 88 Olympics

88 Olympics!

When do you have time to sleep?

You have to work out.

Who are you guys?

I heard that you manhandled

South Seoul High kids yesterday.

All right. Just go away.

I won't cause

any problems at school.

That's not why I came.

After you moved here,

you should've come to us first.

Are you the leader here?

He's number one.

You're number two.

Got it.

Dude.

We want to be friends with

the national representative.

Okay?

What a**hole?

Shall we step out?

Leave me in peace, you a**holes!

You have an awesome voice,

but you've got a bad attitude.

Were you in an oratorical contest?

I, Lim...

Yo, what's his name?

Lim Deok-kyu!

Lim Deok-kyu! Come out, b*tch!

Lim Deok-kyu!

Lim Deok-kyu! Come out, b*tch!

Who are you?

What the f***?

- Mr. Park. Call the dean. Hurry!

- Lim Deok-kyu!

- Get lost.

- What the f***!

- Are you crazy?

- Who are you?

Get out of my f***ing way.

Lim Deok-kyu!

Where are you? Lim Deok-kyu!

You know him?

You want to do it here?

Or go some place quiet?

Let's go.

Hey! Olympics.

Where are you from?

I'm Shin Jae-seok from

South Seoul High. A**hole!

Why did you come to our

school without permission?

That was a pretty good punch.

I'm not here to see you.

Where are you going?

I'm running away.

B*tch. Stop right there!

You can stop

I'm not here to see you.

- Hope it's delicious.

- Yes. Hope you like it.

- Is this a bribe?

- Yes, it is

okay.

- Thanks.

- Please enjoy it.

Thanks.

Hey!

You guys get down from there.

All right.

Just leave them alone.

Are you hungry?

You told me not to pack lunch

and what do I get in return?

Just wait.

My old man gave me some money

for the field trip.

What do you want to do after?

It'll be over by 3 PM

What else is there to do?

Let's just watch a movie

and grab a beer

I have something better.

Why don't you two fight?

We'll gather kids around.

Whoever wins,

I'll give you the money.

How about it?

Do you think I'm stupid?

I just want to bet on a fair

sporting event.

Sun Jin-ho.

You must be an imbecile.

Your dad is the imbecile!

- What, a**hole?

- Forget it.

Don't do it if you don't want to.

It's for $200.

You pussies have no ambition.

He's so freaking late.

- What took you so long?

- I'm sorry, sir.

What's with that?

Is he rich or something?

You know Chung-myung Group?

Yeah.

His grandfather is the founder.

His father is the president

of Chung-myung Construction.

Really?

Is that why you always

keep your mouth shut in front of him?

Drink up.

To 88 Olympics,

let's not offer alcohol

or cigarettes.

That's right.

Get a gold medal.

What is that?

That persevering bastard.

He must've seen A Better Tomorrow

too many times.

He thinks he's Chow Yun Fat.

You want me to go again?

I have to make it to the Olympics.

Then don't go to the Olympics

Lee Sang-hoon.

He's calling for you.

Lim Deok-kyu.

You two losers come out

Lee Sang-hoon, Lim Deok-kyu!

I'm eating, a**hole

I haven't had lunch either.

He's got good punches.

Hit me with it.

Hurry and do it.

This isn't right

I want a duel.

You can't do it?

Then punch me one time

and get it over with.

Satisfied?

You hit me twice.

Last blow to the stomach is embarrassing

so I won't say anything.

Cheers!

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

Now that we're friends,

it's friends till the end!

Did you see Chow Yun Fat

and Lung Ti?

Loyalty!

One more time, Cheers!

Cheers!

Thank you so much for

the wonderful food and drinks

It's my pleasure.

Did you think I'd say that?

Lobbying with food

is the lowest kind

I won't touch the food.

Let's just drink.
