< Outcast is too good at martial arts (14) >
Taekwondo fighter Im Jin-soo.
However, a question mark has always been attached to the practicality of Taekwondo kicks on the MMA stage.
Compared to Muay Thai kicks with a compact trajectory, the power of one shot is stronger, but Taekwondo kicks with a long trajectory are difficult to hit and have a high probability of being countered.
He debuted in RCF with high expectations, but Im Jin-soo’s early grades were not good.
When Lim Jin-soo did not see any potential, RCF began turning him into a ‘deokbab player’ in earnest.
For the players who will rise to the top, Im Jin-soo has always been a delicious one-win sacrifice.
There were times when they broke expectations, but each time the group treated them harshly.
Because what they expected was not Im Jin-soo’s victory.
‘I lost but I fought well’.
Im Jin-soo was allowed only that result.
But I couldn’t just leave the group.
From the point of view of supporting a wife and two children, the ‘sale price’ paid by RCF was a level that could not be ignored.
Meanwhile, the win rate dropped to less than 50%.
When I couldn’t play because of my medical suspension (period of suspension after injury), I ran to load and unload logistics, clean high-rise buildings, and even go to work at construction sites.
However, even in the midst of that, Im Jin-soo was the only RCF fighter who took care of Mu-gyeol.
Was it because he felt a sense of kinship with similar actions, or was it because he was a person with a lot of affection?
Even Mu-gyeol was puzzled, but Im Jin-soo’s answer was always the same.
“Dude, I’m going to do it to benefit from you later. I don’t know where I’m doing this with my bare mouth.”
“…”
“You’re a guy who can hit the top at any time. You bastard said that your fist is shining.”
He also introduced Mugyeol, who only knew how to fight, to a job that would earn him money.
It was Im Jin-soo who secretly paid for the treatment when he was suffering from an injury after the match.
He even let him stay in his own house when he lost it.
“Hey, get the fight money quickly and go to the gosiwon. Because of you, I will die showing my wife notice.”
“I’m sorry bro.”
“Straighten your shoulders dude! Even if someone scolds you, live confidently. I am flawless! Who the fuck is going to fuck me! in this spirit.”
The reason why the flawless kicking technique that only knew how to use a fist was ‘D’ was also thanks to Im Jin-soo.
“No Gyeol, I got fucked while kicking Taekwondo, but you must learn how to kick properly. Got it?”
Whenever he had time, he passed on his know-how to Mugyeol.
However, Mugyeol had never used that kicking technique in a match.
Because I was often hit in the jaw and KOed before even using a kick.
However, no matter how much Mugyeol accumulated defeats and how much he fell into the abyss, Im Jin-soo did not turn away from him.
It was Im Jin-soo who tipped a glass of soju alone for three days in a quiet and flawless mortuary.
There was no way Mugyeol would forget Im Jinsoo.
The moment I met Im Jin-soo for the first time after the team selection.
Moogyeol could not suppress his emotions and hugged Im Jin-soo.
“Oh, this guy looks very excited. Cha Moo-gyeol applicant’s camera is spinning…”
“Thank you very much, mentor. No hex brother.”
“Haha yes yes. He’s more friendly than I thought.”
After the first filming, Mugyeol went to see Im Jinsoo.
Because I wanted to tell him the words I had kept in my heart for a long time.
“Jinsu hyung.”
“Um, what’s going on?”
“Only you should know this.”
“What. say it.”
“I said on the air that I had never met him, but in fact I did meet the dead Cha Moo-gyeol.”
When the name of the dead Cha Moo Gyeol came out of the mouth of the living Cha Mu Gyeol, Im Jin Soo’s eyes widened.
“…what? how?”
“By chance. But we became close because we had the same name.”
“Then your boxing resembles the dead Mugyeol…”
“Yes. I learned it myself.”
“I see. It was too.”
Saying that, Im Jin-soo grabbed Mu-gyeol’s hands.
“I thought he left nothing behind. I left two fists behind.”
“Moogyeol hyung was always like that. He will be eternally grateful to Jinsu hyung.”
“…Did he say that?”
“I was a bit embarrassed to say anything, but he is the hyung I’m most thankful for in the world.”
“I see.”
“And he said that he was in pain from beating his kicks.”
“Khehehe, yes.”
I shed tears, then I sighed and laughed.
Lim Jin-soo’s emotions upon hearing the story of the deceased Cha Moo-gyeol were like riding a roller coaster.
“Honestly, I didn’t understand why you chose me, but now I think I understand. Thank you so much.”
“I am more grateful.”
Moo-gyeol bowed his head and held Im Jin-soo’s hand tightly.
The word ‘thank you’ that I wanted to say so much but couldn’t with my paralyzed body.
I couldn’t be so grateful to be able to move my mouth and be able to speak.
“Hyung, let’s do well.”
“okay. Let’s try it.”
Now it’s the turn of RCF’s ‘discarded cards’ to strike back.
* * *
After the team selection was over, the full-scale ‘Real Fighter’ finals schedule began.
The broadcast production company completed editing for the first round of selections.
Now, only Chairman Jang Young-gil’s final confirmation remains.
Chairman Jang Young-gil, who checked the video, fell into trouble.
A total of 30 applicants were selected, but the main character of the first test was clear to anyone.
Compared to the other contestants who had difficulty hitting even one, let alone three effective hits, Cha Moo-gyeol managed to get two ultra-precise hits and even a submission KO.
However, by choosing Lim Jin-soo in the team selection, Mu-gyeol Cha began to deviate from RCF’s intentions.
“It hurts.”
Jang Young-gil stood at a crossroads of choice.
Even if there is a limit to changing the rules in the future, will you edit it to make him stand out?
Or bury him in editing and put a card that is easy to control like Seok-Doo Choi in front.
“Hmm.”
After much thought, Jang Young-gil made a decision.
“Chief Wu told me to edit all of the first selections for Cha Mu-gyeol. I don’t know how they were selected. It would be impossible to get off the show at all, but wouldn’t it be possible to change the main character of the show?”
“Okay, Chairman. I will deliver it like that.”
After the video feedback, Jang Young-gil took a long nap.
“That damn name comes to life even if you kill it, and it haunts me.”
This time, it would have been nice if it was a chess horse that listens well.
Fortunately, however, the editing rights for the broadcast video rested entirely with RCF.
Choi Seok-doo was also a contestant who garnered quite a bit of attention with the title of ‘from a gangster’ and the number of New Tube subscribers of 450,000.
If he is featured as the main character, the program will be successful without any problems.
‘The initiative cannot be taken away from only one applicant’.
With a firm will, Jang Young-gil edited most of Cha Moo-gyeol’s first selection process.
It was hard to find Cha Mu-gyeol in the video of ‘Real Fighter’, which finally started airing.
A number of sports media outlets also began to pour out articles tailored to the RCF’s intentions.
[‘Real Fighter’ finally started broadcasting. Contestants Seok-Doo Choi and Won-Ki Chae, the contest of the soul!]
[Thirty applicants selected through the first round of selection. The candidate for the championship is Seok-Doo Choi, a ‘fighter from a gangster’?]
[Champion Dae-Geun Han “It will be more exciting after the team selection. I picked the best team.”]
There were often viewers who expressed dissatisfaction about not being able to see Cha Mu-gyeol.
However, in the end, public opinion flowed around those who were exposed to the broadcast.
Even without Cha Mu-gyeol, there was enough stimulation and violence in the broadcast.
In particular, the slugfest between Choi Seok-du and Chae Won-ki, included in episode 2, made viewers go crazy.
[Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
am I proud of being a gangster? At the end of what he said,
he was from a gangster ;] [I guess that’s the only thing he has to say hahahaha]
[Aww RCF idiots still do business with such cheap aggro]
[But when I do something, it’s a trap that everyone sees hahaha] [
That’s right, Lee Sae Guys’ broadcasts are like bad food, so if you don’t eat it, you keep thinking about it] [
If it’s skill to make even the swearers see it, then it’s skill hahahahaha]
[This season, Choi Seok-du will be able to see when Choi Seok-doo beats him behind him, you’ll taste it]
[But don’t you see an applicant worthy of Choi Seok-doo?]
There were viewers who often mentioned Cha Moo-gyeol, but public opinion was negative.
[Is it flawless? Why can’t I see him?]
[Perfect car? Who is it? Are you talking about bullying?]
[There are people who still remember him;;]
[It must have been edited because I couldn’t do it?] [
I can’t reveal who it is, but I’m spoiling the first round. The reason why tea was edited was because Chae Won-gi was KO’d. RCF didn’t come out and edit it.]]
[ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ
ㅋㅋㅋ
ㅋㅋㅋ This was the funniest gag I’ve ever heard]
[Even though Chae Won-gi looks like a dick, he’s a middleweight
gatekeeper for RCF] [It’s a fact that Cha Moo-gyeol didn’t have enough skills]
[Then, why did you pick him up in the first round?]
[I guess he kept him alive because he’s still popular ;; Are you an idiot?]
Of course, there were those who were dissatisfied with this situation.
The two reporters from ‘Brawlers’, who watched everything on the spot, didn’t like the situation.
“Senior, is this correct?”
“no. Anyone can see that the best star in the first selection was Cha Mu-gyeol.”
“Why did RCF edit Cha Moo Gyeol?”
“Who knows, but perhaps Cha Mu-gyeol did something to upset Jang Young-gil.”
“Isn’t this too precious? I thought a real big star was born!”
“What can you do? But if you’re going to float, won’t you be able to float someday?”
“yes? That’s too bad!”
“okay. Too bad.”
Kang Hye-min’s eyes were shining as if he had thought of a trick.
“If he’s going to be a guy, he’ll be going someday… wouldn’t it be bad if that time came a little sooner?”
“What are you talking about, senior?”
“We are journalists. Journalists are beings who move for the citizens’ right to know. Right? huh?”
“Why are your eyes open like that? I’m scared, senior!”
“Didn’t you say you secretly filmed the video of the 1st selection?”
“It is, but.”
“Where did you put your external hard drive?”
After finding Han Gi-joo’s external hard drive and connecting it to the PC, Hye-min Kang quickly began tapping the keyboard.
“Do it this way…”
“Senior! Can I do this? Do you think it will be a big deal if I do this wrong?”
“If you violate the embargo, there will be big trouble. But didn’t the broadcast of the first round of selections already go out?”
“That’s right.”
“So this is not an embargo violation.”
“Then what is it?”
“well. Did you just upload a direct cam that was taken as a fan?”
“it’s crazy!”
“Hehe. Gijoo, are we just being lazy? Let’s do it for the name.”
The day after Kang Hye-min and Han Ki-joo posted an anonymous tip-off video on the ‘Brawlers’ channel.
The public opinion of ‘Real Fighter’ viewers turned upside down.
