‘Pure Fighter’ Park Na-rae “This program is the only one where I laugh while getting hit”

‘Pure Fighter’ supporters Park Na-rae and Kim Min-kyung were impressed by the challengers’ will.

SBS' 'Pure Fighter', which airs on the 1st, continues camp training with four challengers and mentors. Continuing from last week, hidden supporters Kim Min-kyung and Park Na-rae of both teams will also vividly convey the story behind the camp training with their mentors.

In the last episode, the challengers, who received special secrets through Kim Dong-hyun's grappling class and Choi Doo-ho's punching class, will now receive the fighting secrets of mentors Chan-seong Jeong and Sung-hoon Choo. Attention is being paid to how the challengers who have received fighting lessons from the legendary four will grow and develop, and who will be the challengers who will advance to the quarterfinals.

After taking Choi Doo-ho's cliffhanger sparring class, the challengers competed in a sparring match. Watching the challengers enjoying the heat of the game, Park Na-rae, the 'hidden supporter' of the Super Zombie team, admired their competitive spirit, saying, "This program is the only program where I smile while getting hit." Kim Min-kyung, a hidden supporter of the Sexy Cicada team, expressed questioning respect by saying, “Aren’t we enemies at this level?”

Chan-sung Jeong lived up to his reputation as a 'Korean Zombie' and prepared a time for 'Hell's Kettlebell', a special physical training session that never tires. It was a training exercise in which the challengers held kettlebells in both hands and performed various movements according to Chan-sung Jeong's commands. Chan-sung Jeong was impressed by the challengers' strong fighting spirit, saying, "Even professional athletes can't do that." In particular, Kim Min-kyung empathized with the fighting spirit and desperate feelings of the challengers and wiped away tears, saying, "It's like our lives. I want to let go of the heavy burdens in life, but I remember how I can never do that."

Choo Seong-hoon's special secret training time. He demonstrated one of his special skills, low kick and calf kick, in front of the challengers. In addition, Kim Dong-hyun himself said, “I was the first person in Korea to receive a calf kick. “I thought I was going to die from one hit,” he said, explaining the power of the calf kick. Chan-sung Jeong and Seong-hoon Choo, who placed a bet on morning water, have a kick competition on behalf of the team, raising expectations as they say they created a famous scene that will remain in Korean history. Meanwhile, in the morning training, Moon-ho of the underworld (Park Moon-ho) from 'Zombie Trip' made a surprise appearance and reportedly led the training for the challengers.

The challengers competed fiercely in 24 hours of camp training to become finalists in the quarterfinals. It is said that unexpected variables such as sudden injuries and shock declarations occurred.

The second story of the camp training, where major surprises continued despite changes in the top and bottom rankings, can be seen on 'Pure Fighter', which airs at 10:40 pm on the 1st.
