That our XTM channel is

owned by Minjoo Daily

I know.

My boss is from Minjoo Daily.

My boss called the chief editor there

this morning.

He said he knows you well.

That you two met recently.

Sh*t

I heard you turned it down.

What do you mean?

Going on the Legendary Fighter show

I call a direct call from Minjoo Daily.

If you go on the show, they'll make

my bar incident go away forever.

Is that show popular?

Sang-hoon.

Yes.

Just this once.

If you can handle a brief embarrassing

moment, our company can thrive.

We're 43

You're about to take off.

You have to get your promotion.

You'll go, right?

Sh*t

There goes my $20 million again.

Answer me.

Okay, sir

I've always wanted to see you

fight Lim Deok-kyu.

Back in the day, you two almost did

and never actually did.

Can you win against Deok-kyu?

Kang-kuk, let's go.

Let me drink some water.

Sh*t

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Come out, I'll clean up.

You're going to be late for the taping

Let's clean later.

We can't leave it like this

I told you to stay out of the kitchen.

Isn't breaking something

a bad omen?

Thanks for the encouragement.

We're closed today.

We're closed.

Mr. Lim.

Soo-bin What happened to you?

Huh?

What happened? Tell me.

Soo-bin.

Oh no! Are you okay?

You'll be okay.

What should I do?

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay, baby.

Soo-bin Oh no.

Soo-bin, tell us what happened

so we can help you.

Soo-bin, it's okay.

Tell us everything, it's okay.

Why can't you talk to us?

You're just like your mom.

After all that, she came here

To her dad.

What happened?

You're Soo-bin's friend, right?

Is Soo-bin okay?

Are you Soo-bin's friend?

I'm Soo-bin's dad.

What happened to Soo-bin?

I know who did that to Soo-bin.

- Where?

- Over there.

There?

Move, move, move.

A**hole! Stop acting up!

It's the Legendary Fighter.

You really brought him here.

You kick ass

I'll love you forever

I gave my best acting face.

Who is it?

Who did that to Soo-bin?

Who is it?

Who did that to Soo-bin?

Hey! Look at his acting face!

Look at that face.

It's a piece of art!

Did you do it?

Why would I pick on a girl?

The girls probably

went at it in school.

Did you do it?

She's like brittle noodles

There's no fun in punching her

I know.

One man against many is cowardly

I know Soo-bin has a temper

and beat up some girls.

But how can you do that

to a girl's body?

What did he just say?

Lim Soo-bin beating up kids?

Hey!

She didn't hit anybody

She's an outcast.

The outcast of our class.

Is she his real daughter?

Lim Soo-bin Loser.

She acts so snooty

because she can draw a little.

That's why she gets beat up

Understand?

The reason I called you here is

because I want to fight you

I'm going to be on the show

after 20 years.

So...

you made her an outcast.

Wasn't that enough?

Why?

Be quiet, old man.

Listen to me first

I'll start from the beginning

I'm going to be on the show

in 20 years

I want to be introduced as the

guy who fought you.

Will the show still be on air?

Hey! He's number one

in the internet fight community.

Fight him! He's pretty good!

Stop this, guys.

What do you mean?

A master challenging

another master.

Isn't that a beautiful Asian tradition?

If you win against me,

I'll make sure that

no one touches your daughter.

Girls, you promise?

Yes.

Stop this.

Stop whining and hit me for real.

Is it like father, like daughter?

You two are f***ing resilient.

Record it! Hurry!

He's good.

Sh*t.

He's a dead man.

You can't record him

without his manager's permission.

He's the face of Legendary Fighter.

This week's Legendary Fighter is.

Mr. Lee Sang-hoon.

Congratulations.

He was selected as

this week's Legendary Fighter.

He works as the PR manager

for CM Group.

A successful white-collar,

a wonderful family man.

Interesting thing is

Mr. Lim and Mr. Lee

were classmates at Sadang High.

Ladies and gentlemen,

are you excited?

Legend of the Legends

Mr. Lim Deok-kyu enters the ring.

The crazed contestant of

Legendary Fighter, Mr. Lim Deok-kyu!

The contender came here to give dreams

to the 10 million white-collars.

Mr. Lee Sang-hoon!

No headbutts,

soccer kicks, elbows!

Lee Sang-hoon, I'm sick of this.

Let's do this fast.

Stop talking to each other.

This is a big game.

The classmate match of

Legendary Fighter begins now.

Cheer up.

Fight!

Go around and around.

A middle kick like a bolt of lightning.

- It's okay. Put your guard up.

- Lee is incredible.

Lim seems to have taken

a big hit in the abdomen.

He seems impassive today.

Lim doesn't look good today.

He's wobbly when he throws a punch.

He's not defending at all.

Fight.

Put your guard up

Lee doesn't attack.

Lim Deok-kyu doesn't seem

to have any will to attack either.

You guys can't do this.

Fight.

Take it slow.

A front kick!

Hey!

Another middle kick.

He can't seem to get it together.

Stop.

That bout ends in vain.

That was so unexpected

Lee Sang-hoon, a Knockout win.

Lim Deok-kyu is through.

- Winner.

- This is shocking

Lee Sang-hoon becomes

the new Legendary Fighter

I think I can hear the 10 million

white-collars cheering for him.

Let go of me.

Soo-bin.

When daddy was young,

he was a boxer.

Then I used those boxing skills

to beat up things

and take money from people

I was a piece of trash.

That's why I'm getting punished now

I've failed to protect you.

It wouldn't make a difference

if I take revenge on those kids now

I just wanted to...

I just wanted...

to be a good dad.

Later...

when I meet your mom up there,

I don't want to be ashamed

for failing to protect you.

I'm sorry daddy is a loser

I'm sorry, Soo-bin

Daddy is a loser.

You're awesome.

Good.

Yes

This is Lee Sang-hoon from PR.

- Hey, you came.

- Yes.

Get up

I told you

I can put up with anything

except for the labor union

getting in my way.

Bet your position on it.

If you got enough money,

then go sloppy as usual

I'll bet my life on it.

Give them a pep rally

and fire all those union asses.

Yes, sir.

Go away now.

Give me back the watch.

Good job.

Is Deok-kyu okay?

That was a direct hit

I think he's okay.

But Deok-kyu is not the type

to get beat up like that.

There must've been something

I wanted to see a real bout.

Sang-hoon.

How well do you think

you can fight?

How different are you

from high school?

Bring him in

I want to see your real fighting skills.

If it's good.

I want to sponsor

that Legendary Fighter show.

Thanks to you, we'll get

some good publicity.

Fight.

Sta rt.

You don't think you can win?

Should I not sponsor?

Mr. Son... are we 18 years old?

What?

Is this something you should ask

a person who had a fist fight

on TV for the company?

SQ?

Jin-ho.

What the f*** did you say?

Jin-ho?

Jin-ho!

Why did you stop

growing up after 18?

Do you want to get fired?

It's been too long

Let's end it here

I'm deeply indebted to you.

Manger Lee! Lee Sang-hoon!

Lee Sang-hoon!
