Yui, Geum Sae-rok, Park Joo-hyun, and Seol In-a began boxing training.
On the 11th, the first broadcast of tvN's 'Iron Girls 2' featured Yui, Geum Sae-rok, Park Joo-hyun, and Seol In-a taking on the challenge of becoming boxing champions.
On that day, Yui, Geum Sae-rok, Park Joo-hyun, and Seol In-a started their eagerly anticipated first training session, aiming to become boxing champions within 4 months. They were surprised to see the ring set up in the gym. Then, on that ring, the first Olympic medalist from Korea, Im Ae-ji, appeared in the red corner.
In the blue corner, Jeong Joo-hyung, the women's boxing representative for the Paris Olympics, appeared. The members held their breath, watching the special match between the national athletes. Kim Dong-hyun explained the match using his own experience. Yui, Geum Sae-rok, Park Joo-hyun, and Seol In-a applauded emotionally after watching the match.
Yui, Geum Sae-rok, Park Joo-hyun, and Seol In-a encountered Im Ae-ji and Jeong Joo-hyung in the square ring. Park Joo-hyun asked, "You seem very shy and cute in person. How did you get into boxing?"
Im Ae-ji said, "I told my parents I wanted to do it, but they opposed it. That made me want to do it even more. When I went home with a scratched face, they asked how my opponent was doing," eliciting laughter.
Jeong Joo-hyung said she started boxing at 28. She noted, "I started as a recreational athlete and was selected for the national team after just a year."
Yui said, "I attended a sports high school, so I had friends who boxed. When I see friends who have brought back medals, I notice there are many who are injured or struggling because of weight classes." Jeong Joo-hyung said, "If you just keep going, even after one more time, you can see yourself grow."
Jeong Joo-hyung said, "I also won a championship after 3 or 4 months, so I believe everyone will succeed." Im Ae-ji also cheered, saying, "I've seen your tenacity in triathlons. I think you'll do well."
