What's famous in Washington? I was told that their rice noodles are famous... (Delighted) Are you an interpreter? I guess he has a new wife? Who's the other wife? - How's your condition? - I'm in great condition. Aside from Ian (Sunho's son), I haven't oiled someone's thighs... Okay, way to go. - Nice. - Nice, nice! Bro! (GYM-JONGKOOK: Crying leads to muscle loss) Hey, you'll lose muscles if you cry. I was like, Oh! alone. So, I was planning to give up on this because I was so exhausted. But then, Jongkook called me and asked, Hanjin, are you preparing well? [GYM-JONGKOOK] (Hello...) Ahahaha. (A tour to support Choi Hanjin taking part in the Ben Weider Natural Pro contest) - Sunho - Yes. (Ma Sunho's first trip to the US) I was so anxious.

And it felt similar to the feeling before I went on stage for
a bodybuilding competition. There's KwakTube behind us. (Gym YouTuber filming a travel vlog in
front of a travel YouTuber). I was surprised. (Of course).
He must be traveling. First of all, it's my first time going to
the US. It's my first time going to a country
that speaks English. And, of course, it's my first time
flying in business class. (Ready) I did a lot of research.
Did you? On how I have to use it. First, going through immigration. Immi?
Immigration. You said you didn't have breakfast.
Yes. Hurry and bring some food. Can I only eat it once? You can eat it as many times as you want. (What are you doing?)
Why are you so... I'm afraid of being alone. I do have a seat, but I have a feeling
you are going to leave me here.

[Jongkook] The food is like a diet, right? [Sunho] Wow, seriously. - [Jongkook] It's a great diet, isn't it?
- [Sunho] It's great. I really like Running Man. (Popular guy GYM-JONGKOOK)
[Sunho] You're really popular. Thank you so much. - Don't, don't.
- [Sunho] All right. You're kind as well... You know I got chased away
during my meal, right? We're heading to D.C. to watch the
Ben Weider Natural Pro contest... You're attending as a coach once again,
right? - I, uh...
- Once we're there... (Blocking him) We'll go there and... (Sunho vanishes...)
Say hello again. (Knock, knock) Yes, who's there? Your voice sounds like Michael's. - Oh, yes, I'm Michael.
- Michael. I want to hurry to the States with you
and look around the competition venue.

- But first, I really want to work out.
- Yes, yes. (Seriously, this Bro...) Above anything else, immigration is very important when you go to the States. (Story of being held back.txt).
Personally, I was held back once. Why? I had taken medication for gout, but I needed a prescription as well. I didn't show them that, and they held me back. Was it because of your look, by any chance? That's not true. When you get held back, don't be flustered. It takes at least two hours. Does it take two hours? We're here to watch the bodybuilding contest and support a friend. (If it's hard to say in English). If not, say, Bodybuilding competition, and flex your biceps once. When they ask, Why are you here? 
- For a bodybuilding competition like this?
- That's right. How do you say it in English?
- Bodybuilding competition.
- Why are you here? For a bodybuilding...

Bodybuilding competition. Say Bodybuilding competition, and then... - Side chest.
- That's right, that's right. - Ben Weider Natural Olympia.
- That's right, that's right. If I get caught, it's not like
you'll leave me behind. No, I'll give you the address. So you can come in a cab or something. I'm still determining the title
for this episode, so... Four Days and... - Three Nights.
- Three Nights. My Little Gym Boy. (Reading his lips)
Boy - Gym Man.
- Gym Man. Oh, why are you so out of sync? (How can I personally sync these?) - I Work Out.
- Work Out. - Alone. Reveal - My Gym Life.
- My Gym Life. Let's Go! - Gym Team.
- Gym Team. GYM-JONGKOOK.

- Outing.
- Outing. Infinite. - Workout.
- Workout. (Unintentional leg extension.) Did you take off your shirt there as well? (First shoot with Ma Sunho.)
[Jongkook] When you went to Gwangmyeong. (After shooting this.)
After shooting this - I remember.
- I'm in the same outfit. You came in this outfit. That's right, that's right. It's that day. (Excited.) (Instant noodles on Business Class...) (Rummaging.) (Calobye Protein.) (This one's yours.) (Mine.) (It's protein time.) - We passed safe and sound.
- We're finally through. I did as you told me, so I came out without an issue. The weather isn't too bad. (In celebration of arriving safely.) Let's go.
Is our Uber ride here? [Driver] Aren't you Kim Jongkook? Oh, you're Korean. We met a Korean driver.

(Delighted) (Eye-contact). We ate a lot on our flight, but shouldn't we eat something
since we're here? Bro, you seriously ate a lot. Wearing Calobye like this... (Like a professional gamer).
We're kind of like professional gamers. (That's what you think).
I think that's just you. - Oh, is that so?
- Because earlier at the airport... People asked if you were a bodybuilder
as soon as they saw you. When I saw you during immigration, you seemed to talk more than the officer. Next time, when you come-- Hang on, the scenery looks great. These look nice with music. [Sunho] Doesn't it resemble
Yongsan Electronics Market? [Jongkook] Look, look at the trees. In a single file, eh? What's famous in Washington? I was told that their rice noodles
are famous... Where is Columbia University? In New York. (A friend who graduated from Columbia).
Oh, New York, he graduated from Columbia.

All I know is Assarabia. Columbia. Oh, seriously. Is Columbia also an Ivy League? Yes. (Applauding) We've arrived.
We arrived at our accommodation. [Jongkook] This cafe is so beautiful, isn't it? Look. Wow, the building. Wow, Sunho. It's nice. (Grateful) We got to stay at our friend's place. It's great. There's even a post office. It's the fire department. (Public office tour in Washington) (Washington even has cool fire trucks).
Yeah, oh, what a cool fire truck. (It's hard to see, but the fire trucks look great). It's nice to walk. This place is nice, it's pretty. Flowers. Even the flowers are pretty. - Should I carry it for you? - No, it's okay. I'm working out. It's a raise. A front raise. Aren't you isolating too much? I pretend to be someone in the neighborhood when I go to LA or whatnot.

- (D.C. is new.) But it feels new.
- Bro, you're obviously an outsider. (The older one pays for the food.) First of all, Hanjin. We came to the AirBnB. Choi Hanjin is staying in. He knows that we're coming, right? He says he's coming down. (Self background music) ♪ As if I'm shot by a gun ♪ Isn't it this song? Oh, Hanjin. (Delighted)
Hello, Bro. - You know him, right? Hyeonwu.
- I do, I do. Long time no see. Hello. (Choi Hanjin's wife)
Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you. Hanjin helped me a lot. So, I thought about how I could help him. And as I was working out, I heard he was participating in a competition. So I thought, Should I pay a visit? and arranged my schedule. (Fortunately, the schedule worked out)
I was able to make time. And Calobye also sponsored us, so we were able to come.

(Clapping)
What help would I be if I came alone? (Winner of 25 competitions in 3 years)
So, I deliberately brought Sunho with me. Because Sunho has professional knowledge. Have you prepared a lot? I've been maintaining the best body
that I've built so far... It takes work to build your body
while giving lessons. It's the toughest. Did you also compete, thinking your body was in the best condition
when you won in Korea? The first time I met Sunho was when I was his judge. Really? He left a strong impression because
he had a great lower body. Did you hear that? He has good legs, and he compliments someone else's legs. It's hard to be with him when he's
preparing for competitions, right? We're each focused on our
own lives, so... (Choi Hanjin's wife is undoubtedly a T)
Do you not interfere with each other? I haven't heard much about your wife. I heard this for the first time, but
are you an interpreter?

Oh? No. (Confused with an interpreter friend.)
Translator? (Desperately.)
AI! (Dizzy.) Oh, was it not you? Aren't you talking about someone else? I guess he has a new wife? (Hands sweating.)
Wait, that was dangerous. For a moment! I work at an IT company. The face recognition system during the immigration customs at Incheon Airport... Who's the interpreter wife? (Deeply apologizes.)
My bad, it's my mistake. (Change of topic.)
How long have you been working out? I took a break yesterday. I'll work out today. And take a break tomorrow - Oh, is that so?
- Yes. But many amazing athletes are contending in the competition this time. I heard. I have a feeling, at the venue... I might be the only one working out. (You're not alone.)
This time, we'll be there as well. Yes, that's right. (A reliable coach.)
And Sunho will be there. Who will be assisting you on the day?

You're here. Then, how ready is your body? Can you show us some of your posing? Sounds great. (From an expert's perspective)
Sunho can look at you objectively. [Sunho] And you're not even pumped. [Jongkook] Wow, your legs. I did practice my poses, but then there was no one to check for me. Relax. It's important to have someone to look at it objectively, right? - It's important.
- So, first. This bit is great. Whenever you flex, you focus on this bit. So, the inner muscles are expressed less, and the inner legs seem a little empty. With the feeling of pushing them outward slightly, it would be more... - [Jongkook] They're protruding more.
- That accentuates the inner muscles more. Because there's no match for this bit. As you're posing, try pressing my hands with your elbows slightly, stop! Again, flex. Like this. Push it down because your latissimus dorsi seems a little pushed out.

(Ma Sunho works on the details)
Hold it with this feeling. (In awe) It's so good. You're flexing in this direction, so this bit folds in. Hold the latissimus as if you're stretching it out to the side. - Oh, this looks broader.
- Yes. And press the elbows down a little.
Stop! Oh, this is nice. - It has to be held like this.
- It's great. (The pose looks a lot broader) The amount of energy that goes into the latissimus is definitely... - But it looks a lot broader.
- Is that so? Yeah, it looks significantly broader. While doing the pose, you can connect two of the back positions. Yes, yes, with that, too.
You can connect it to that one. [Jongkook] But you did such a great job in building your body. I worked really hard this time because I heard you were coming. - This...
- [Jongkook] Did I boost you?

(GYM-JONGKOOK's support became a booster)
That's right. My blood started boiling. And on the day of the competition,
he'd be pumped up. So his upper body will be more complete.
- [Jongkook] That's right. So, it's unnecessary to strike an
upper body pose with too much emphasis because it won't balance out. So, if he just works on the inner legs... Because of this, I failed a lot in the
previous competition and the one before. Is that so? (Stimulating)
I should go and work out my legs right now. This has Olympia on the line, right? That's right, yes. The competition Hanjin is contending in
is called Ben Weider. You can see it as a Natural Olympia.
- That's right. There are no competitions in Korea.
You have to come abroad... - Once a year.
- Once? (Mr. Olympia: The most prestigious) If he
wins this, he can compete in Olympia.

And the largest competition in the world. Which is everyone's dream. To win a ticket to Olympia. It's meaningful to be the first, and I've been preparing with that dream. And what I felt this time is. The importance of machines... the importance of machines. I can understand why you go back and forth to the US to work out. You gain much more compared to the energy you use. Fortunately, there are a few good machines in Korean gyms now. I can dare to say he's the top. Seriously, what do you think? In Korea, seriously... Shy. I can say this with confidence. Is that so? Really? That's the extent... Hanjin, it's a great challenge. You will be our top priority when it comes to cheering and giving support. You are giving me great support. Seriously. Calobye has sponsored us. When will you start preparing? The match is at 8 o'clock. Evening. 8 a.m.

- Oh?
- 8 a.m. We're on your team. I hope we're not being burdensome.
- Not at all. Anyway, the fact that such a fantastic
Korean bodybuilder is participating in the overseas competition
with great energy is... Moreover, I hope you show many people
that a Natural bodybuilder can be of this build. The fine side of you. How are you doing your hair tomorrow? I'll just touch it up a little. I heard hair is essential these days.
- Hair is also essential. Wouldn't it be nice to go to
a barbershop? Aren't there barbershops here? But first, have a good rest today. (Visit the barbershop tomorrow).
We'll find a barbershop and let you know. - Yes, all right.
- You prepared well. Bro. - Thank you so much.
- I feel so good. How do you feel after seeing Hanjin? There was something touching
about his body.

We know how tough it is to body build,
don't we? Right now, it would be hard
for Hanjin even to talk. I think we gave him lots of support. He might've passed out after we left. After shutting the door, I will prepare for next year's competition. My coach has been decided. (That is you).
There's a coach whose name is Kim Jongkook. Let's say I participate in a competition
in the US. Wouldn't you come to see me? I should, I should. (Calo-lighting).
Then, Calobye will again... Try competing in foreign competitions. - I'd love to if I have time.
- I think you'd be fine, I'm serious. Let's try it. Wow. It looks luxurious even from a glance. Right? (Barbershop). What is going on with this barber's? Barber's? It is the barber's. (Changing his style). (GYM-JONGKOOK chance). (Super satisfied). You look so cool.

I've become a different person. Your hair looks so nicely proportioned. (The importance of hairstyle.)
Depending on how you do your hair, it shows the athlete's style.
- That's right. (Super satisfied with his changed style.)
I love my hair right now as well. When we look at athletes from abroad, they always have slick and neat hair. So they do. Like Bumstead. That's right, that's right. You should go and get Bumstead at the Olympia. Go, and let's say you're Bumstead.
Bumstead! (Actually gets him.)
And get him like this. (On the day of the competition.) Virginia, Washington Tour with Calobye. Four Days and...
- Three Nights. (Bro, your hair...) On the day of the competition, as soon as we're up, we'll hurry and get ready and head to the venue. Bro, when I was washing just now, I had a nosebleed. The sun isn't fully up yet.

- Four Days and... - Three Nights with Calobye.
- Three Nights Infinite - Workout.
- Workout Gym - Man.
- Man My Little Gym - Boy.
- Boy, We're waiting for our Uber ride. Look at those people working out
at the gym at this hour. (Destroying the sentiment) Bro, we can't
see anything because of the trees. And today is a Friday, right? It's called Friday. They could think of working out early
in the morning and partying at night. (Squat posture)
The squat, oh no. - (What a pity) Oh, the squat.
- He shouldn't do it like that. - Oh, the squat.
- Come on [Sunho]. You can't keep the range of motion
like that when you're on the Smith machine. [Jongkook] That squat...
I'd love to teach him. The hips are sticking out way too much.

He's going down with a severe
pelvic anterior tilt. Hi, good morning. When I was getting dressed today,
Sunho told me to wear black. (It can get stained due to the tanning oil).
Athletes apply tanning oil, so... For real, when athletes
go back and forth... - Bright clothes get stained.
- Really? And in the meantime, I'm wearing
a red-colored cap. - So that Hanjin can...
- See you clearly. We need to shout for him. (For the athlete who can't look in the
mirror). Things like, Flex your arms! (Someone to work on the pose is needed).
He can find it straight away. And your tone is... - Different from average people.
- It is. For example, I'd say, Way to go, Hanjin! And you'd go, Way to go, Hanjin! Thank you. We have arrived. We could follow this athlete
to the venue, no? Oh, that's our Bro.

- Are you competing today?
- Yes, yes. I'm doing Men's Physique.
- Oh, Men's Physique. (A Men's Physique athlete) (Hanjin is a Classic Physique athlete.)
Actually, my friend is competing in the Classic Physique. Um, what's his name? (Do you know Hanjin?)
Hanjin, he's Korean. (He seems to know Hanjin.)
Oh, yeah, I've seen him. How long have you been training? (Six years of training and two years as an athlete.) Uh, six years. What's your name? Tyler. (Naturally moving with the athlete.)
Actually, he went to Olympia last year. I wanted to come to a foreign competition because I wanted to know what foreign athletes eat for breakfast on the day of the competition and whatnot. Tyler! (Where are you going, Tyler?)
Where are you going? (Tyler is going to get something to eat.) Oh, right now? (Tyler: Do you have Instagram?)
Are you on Instagram?

(I'm not a bodybuilder.)
I'm not a bodybuilder. Don't worry about it. Good luck, Bro. (Tyler has a great personality.)
He has a great personality, right? He's so bright. Oh, Hanjin! Hanjin is here.
- [Jongkook] How's your condition?
- I'm in great condition. Your hair looks so good. Go and get ready. Okay, we'll stay here. (A protein bar for breakfast.)
Since it's morning, I'm having a protein bar. Protein bars are a lot better these days. When I went to the States in the 90s, protein bars tasted so bad. Bro, in the 90s? I seriously ate it in pain. (A flavor that was unimaginable at the end of the century.)
- He looks like a Men's Physique athlete.
- Yes, I can tell just by looking at their legs. What's funny is that when you look at the athletes, you look at their legs first. There's this thing, since we're here.
- Since we're here, right?

I'm hoping that he'll win.
That's how I'm feeling. Usually, with competitions like this, things like amateur competitions...
Can you compete just by signing up? Competitions held in Korea. There are many organizations.
- That's right. There are competitions every week.
- Oh, really? But there's a fee each time you participate. (Fee worth 150,000 to 170,000 won).
It's around 150,000 to 170,000 won. If you want to compete in the Classic
Physique and Bodybuilding, you can participate in all the categories
in a single competition. Oh, really? (Tsk) (Tsk) (Preparing backstage).
Warm up and do some oiling. - [Jongkook] Sunho, you give him a check.
- Yes, yes. Most of them are resting. [Sunho] I think it's a common trait
of Korean athletes (Korean trait).
We have to get ready in advance. Only Hanjin is warming up right now.

No one is... [Jongkook]: That Korean athlete over there
was also warming up. (As expected, Woo Hyungjae
is warming up in advance.) Way to go!
Oh, way to go. As they pump up, everyone pretends to
focus on themselves but looks at the others. [Jongkook]: That's right. Did you cut off your carbs well? Wow,
Goodness me. It's great having Sunho around. - That's right.
- I always prepared alone. You're right.
You would've done this alone every time. Yes,
I just came and warmed up alone. It feels like I'm being conditioned. [Sunho]: We have Vaseline and Muscle Juice,
competition posing oil spray, so you can gloss yourself with that. [Jongkook]: What's that?
What you mentioned earlier. There's this thing called Hot Stuff,
and if you spray it in advance... - It heats you when you're pumping up.
- [Jongkook]: Oh, on the body.

- That is prohibited here.
- It's illegal. [Sunho] So, he'll be using Vaseline
and something else. (Oiling with Vaseline borrowed
from a Korean athlete). (The competition personnel
is explaining something). He's explaining the order. (Leave the oiling to Ma Sunho)
When you go on stage, first. (Leave the interpretation to GYM-JONGKOOK)
do certain poses. You would've been in trouble
if we didn't have this. (The touch of a professional). The body
looks totally different when oiled. - A Korean athlete lent it to you.
- Exactly. (Once again, thanks to athlete Woo Hyungjae
and his coach). Indeed, way to go. Helping each other out. We have to work on these details
when doing this. Aside from Ian (Sunho's son), I haven't oiled someone's thighs
in so much detail. (GYM-JONGKOOK)
I can see myself in the mirror, too. I'm experiencing my first competition
environment from abroad.

It's really charming.
The venue has its own charm, and the competition venue has a unique scent. Sunho is seriously... We have such high-class personnel here. You're doing a great job, Sunho. We came here thanks to Calobye. Thank you so much, Calobye, next year... Calobye! (Calobye is the best). Thank you, Calobye. (A staff guides GYM-JONGKOOK) [Jongkook] I think you're going in fast. You're going in earlier. (Pumping up before going on stage) [Jongkook] Oh, your body... Way to go. It's an honor. No, I hope you do well today. [Sunho] Five, six. Nine, push it all the way. Okay, ten, all the way. More, all the way. [Jongkook] Okay, way to go. (The heart of a parent sending their son off) It feels a little weird. [Jongkook] Right.

- [Sunho] Unless there's the unexpected...
- [Jongkook] Right? That's how it seems it'll go, right? I keep having high hopes. He did a great job. He really did a great job. As long as he minds his poses on stage.
- Just his poses. Okay, okay. (Way to go, Woo Hyungjae as well.) [Jongkook] You seem to have prepared a lot.
Your body is seriously... I wish you all the best today.
- Thank you. Way to go!
- Way to go! [Jongkook] Tyler, it's Tyler. (Supporting Tyler, whom he befriended earlier.) Tyler, bright Tyler. [Sunho] Way to go, Tyler!
- Tyler!
- Tyler! [Sunho] Oh, Tyler looks good. Hyungjae, focus! (Supporting Woo Hyungjae as well.) Way to go! Hyungjae, hurry and strike your pose.
Hurry.

Nice and easy.
Great. Oh, good. Pretty, pretty. Nice! (Ma Sunho directs the details).
Make eye contact with the judge. Keep looking at the judge. Way to go! (Choi Hanjin). Don't raise your shoulders too much! Okay! (Confident) [Sunho]. Hanjin, don't strain too much.
Take it nice and easy. Way to go! Good! Nice! The hips, too. Okay. Nice, it's neat. Good, good! Okay. That was great! (The judges call No.7 Choi Hanjin).
Number seven and number nine. Seven and nine switch. Switch means either of them will come first or second. (The athlete next to Choi Hanjin is aiming).
The comparison. (To win three years in a row). This is important. Way to go, Choi Hanjin! [Sunho]. Hanjin, do a good job with your legs. Press the latissimus dorsi down a little. Legs, legs, okay. Way to go, way to go.

You need to hold the glute muscles. Okay - [Jongkook] Great. - [Sunho] Great, it's okay, it's okay. Breathe out nice and big. Okay, fix the legs. (Giving support and directions) [Jongkook] Way to go! [Sunho] Hanjin, work on those legs! Okay Lat, nice and big. Great. Okay, okay. The one next to you has loose legs. You look much better. Nice, nice - You're better, nice, nice, nice. - [Jongkook] That's it, that's it. Okay, okay, okay, not bad. (Comparing with the athlete who won two years in a row) Hanjin, pose for longer. The one next to you, his legs loosen up quickly. Okay. Raise your chest and show your frame. (The match between 1st and 2nd place) Hips! You need to flex those hips! Hanjin, your hips! Okay!

Nice, nice, nice. It'll be better to pose by
putting your legs together. Okay.
Nice, nice. Way to go! A bit more with the legs. Exhale! Hold your lat nice and big.
Big! Great, great.
Lat, nice and big! Nice, nice. Nice, nice, nice! Nice!
Flex your hips. Good! Good! Nice, nice, nice. (The judge requested the final performance)
To compare one last time. Oh, really?
Yes. The guy next to him won three
times in a row? Yes, he won three times in a row. Hanjin competed against such a person.
That's right. Even when comparing the poses.
Yeah, he didn't fall behind.
It was hard to decide who was better. How do you feel ahead of the
last free posing? I will literally enjoy the performance. I have a feeling you will go to Olympia.

- Because Jongkook is here.
- Of course, of course. That's why I have this... (Burning with hot emotions...)
Burning feeling... You're more laid back and posing better. Yes, I think I am going to strike
even cooler ones, instead... (Free posing). Choi Hanjin! Choi Hanjin! The stage is very simple. Oh, you're right. - In Korea, it's very...
- It's insane in Korea. - It's pretty much a show.
- It is a show. They shoot lasers and whatnot. - Korean fitness culture is also improving.
- Exactly. (Announcing the rankings). (They're being called one at a time). (Announcing third place already). Top two, top two. (Leaving only the first and second-place
announcements). Okay, Choi Hanjin. Great job, the top two are great.
Great, you did a great job. (Second place is...)
Second place (... Seventeen (No. 17)).
(No. 7). (No. 17).

(If No. 17 is second place... The first place is...?) (No. 7 Choi Hanjin is confirmed to be No. 1) (Overwhelmed) (The audience has gone wild) (First place is Choi Hanjin) (Teary) (Tearing up) - He did it - He did it, he did it No way Congratulations! (Touched) She's crying, she's crying Goodness me Choi Hanjin! (Hanjin came first place) Oh, he did it, he did it - [Jongkook] Oh, Hanjin! - I need to be tested for doping - Huh? - Tested for doping (He needs to get tested for doping) Oh, okay, okay, okay Oh, you're getting tested Seriously, when he was doing the comparison posing, it felt... - He did better, you said so, too - Yeah, the second was much better You said the second was much better Yes

You're pretty much an expert now. It's a first in Korean history.
- Is that so? - To enter Olympia as a Natural Bodybuilder.
- Really? (The emotions from that moment).
I couldn't control myself. Thanks to Calobye, we're here. Calobye, you did something huge. For next year's Olympia, Calobye can... (See you again next year, Calobye).
Calobye, join us for next year's Olympia... [Jongkook] Oh, well done. You were amazing. Thank you, Bro! [Jongkook] Well done, well done. (Patting him) [Jongkook] You're the best.
You're the best, you're the best. Thank you. Wow. (GYM-JONGKOOK: Crying leads to muscle loss).
Hey, you'll lose muscles if you cry. Wow, seriously. It's so moving.
It's so moving. (Sharing the joy with his wife, who shared his pains). Hanjin, you're awesome.

Seriously, wow... (Chong Chong, congrats on your IFBB Pro)
Quietly like this... So many people are supporting
and congratulating you. - [Jongkook] Korean athletes
- [Sunho] Altogether with Korean athletes. [Jongkook] Yes, come on in. (It's even more pleasant to see K-athletes
abroad) Seeing you all abroad... - Way to go, Korea!
- Way to go! - Choi Hanjin, Olympia!
- Olympia! You felt that you were in second place,
didn't you? (Hearing only seven from seventeen)
You looked as if you thought (He thought he was in second place)
you were in second place. When I heard, Second place, seventeen,
I was like, Oh! alone. (Slow reactions to the announcement of
second place, LOL) But everyone was still. Even this guy was still. You hear it belatedly. Is it me? Is it me?

Congratulations, Choi Hanjin. A famous rice noodle restaurant in Washington. Hanjin, you're the star, so sit in the middle. Sit here, here. Sit over here. And your wife can sit here. Oh, that's right. What I wanted to tell you earlier was I took part in two professional competitions ahead of this, right? So, I was planning to give up on this because I was so exhausted. I was thinking about preparing for it next year. But then, Jongkook called me and asked, Hanjin, are you preparing well? And I unknowingly answered, Oh, yes. Are you serious? Seriously? I swear. That's when I started preparing. Jongkook, you sent him to Olympia. I swear I'm not lying. I mean this. I wasn't sure about my schedule either. It isn't right not to appear when I said I would visit. That was when there were ten or eight weeks left.

- Oh, really?
- Yes, [Sunho]. It's really tough when
the season prolongs like this. Psychologically, as well,
it was a little... Because the two competitions ahead of this
weren't so satisfying. I was disappointed in myself.
- Really? So, I thought a lot about building
myself even more in the following year. From then, I moved to a different gym and used a lot of machines.
- Really?
- Yes. (Finally reveals the behind-the-scenes)
I can finally say it. Try the soup.
It's amazing. (Overwhelming flavor of salt)
The salt rushing in... Right? (The schedule of the shoot and competition
fit perfectly). I wasn't sure either. My schedule wasn't fixed. (Filming on the day after the arrival)
You're filming Running Man straight away. You're filming Running Man
as soon as you return. Actually, I came here without
having high hopes on your record. I thought it would be meaningful
just to come here to support you.

(I can't believe it.)
[Sunho] This is kind of like... It's like a prank. Hanjin is going to Olympia, so Sunho, you can take a break. (When starting GYM-JONGKOOK) I didn't know any bodybuilders. The only bodybuilder I knew was Hanjin. So, I was on your first episode. - That's right. I met him ten years ago as a trainer at a gym. Yes, that's when we met. - That's when you had packaged meals. - That's right. I nagged Hanjin back then as well. And then, he's going to Olympia. It's so strange, to be honest. It's funny. Because he was always told off on your channel. (Editing plans) I'm planning to edit any footage where I teach Hanjin. (The celebratory dinner is on GYM-JONGKOOK as well.) You cried, didn't you? Wow, but seriously... When Hanjin started crying...

- That's right.
- I glanced at you. (He was in tears.)
And there were tears in your eyes. And so, I also...
- It hit me. I was overwhelmed by his winning and knowing how hard the preparations were... I'm not that close to Hanjin. I wasn't close. But as an athlete, I know the preparations must've been hard. You must've related to him. Hanjin cried a lot, looking at you. Because you were the reason he competed. Anyway, Sunho, you came as an expert and gave huge support.
- It was nothing.
- It was so much fun. (In charge of the legs.)
You were like, Legs! Hips! And he'd flex his hips. (In charge of the upper body.)
And I'd go, Stress those lats! - And he'd stress the lats.
- What I found hilarious was this. (The winner listened to the two coaches obediently.) And Hanjin would flex his lats.

You did a great job.
Let's drink coffee and go and work out.
Do we have to work out? But then, why is it so exhausting? Thanks to Calobye... Oh, Calobye. (Hanjin, congratulations on your win and advancement to Olympia!)
