A live-action version of ‘The Glory’? “I got hit and my pants came off, I was scared.”

'Sandbag', a victim of school violence, received the 'Heart of a Warrior' for his awakening.

In the SBS martial arts survival entertainment show 'Pure Fighter', which aired on the 4th, the journey of Choo Sung-hoon, Kim Dong-hyun, Jeong Chan-sung, and Choi Doo-ho, 'the four strongest martial arts fighters in Korea', visited a 'school' to find a fighter who was unique from the beginning.

While a large number of 'K-high school fighters' appeared, 'Sandbag', a challenger who had experienced school violence, appeared and attracted attention. He, who has practiced various sports such as Sambo, Judo, and Muay Thai, said, “It means exploding a punching bag, and it also means getting hit like a punching bag.”

He continued, “When I was in elementary school, my money was taken, I was beaten, and my pants were taken off. There were times when I deliberately avoided going to school where the perpetrator was. Then I happened to watch TV and UFC came on. “I thought I had to do it then,” he confessed, leaving his mentors in awe.

'Sandbag' faced Coach Soon-jeong with a strong attitude during the audition to test his skills. Choo Seong-hoon encouraged Sandbag not to give up until the end, saying, “It’s just two minutes,” and Sandbag woke up and showed everything he had.

Choo Sung-hoon praised him, saying, "You're not a punching bag. Now you're a fist," and Jung Chan-sung also added, "The person who exercises to become stronger is the strongest." Sandbag shed tears as if past memories had passed him by as he received the sincere support of his mentors. Sandbag received the heart of a warrior from the Sexy Cicada team and the Super Zombie team, and said, “There were many times when I wanted to give up. “I think the words you said today will be helpful in my future exercise,” he expressed his gratitude.

'Pure Fighter' airs every Wednesday at 10:40 PM, and in next week's broadcast, a large number of street fighters are scheduled to appear, including 'Mr. Hongdae', who showed a strong presence in the first broadcast.
