Holy Land (홀리랜드)

As the sun rises over the city, we believe

that everything in front of our eyes is but a dream.

But when night falls,

the endeavors of those who search for a different dream begin.

They harm others, and are harmed by others.

Even if they don't wish to do so,

it's something inevitable, their destiny.

Only then, will they be able to feel their heartbeat,

able to feel that they're alive.

It's a scary, yet beautiful moment.

The time that you want to escape but can't stop.

But there are not many people who know the end.

Similarly, there are not many who know the beginning.

I had never been someone's opponent before.

That was the first time.

The first time someone had treated me seriously as an opponent.

The first time I had been taken seriously.

The smell of perspiration on their body.

That was the first time I experienced the essence of a person.

Even though I have had friends in the past, I had never been able to feel the essence of a person.

They didn't have that essence about them.

Friend, of a friend, of a friend.

I had always considered them all as my friends.

But within a moment, I already know that none of them will have that essence

If they don't have that essence, they cannot move my heart.

My fingers have stopped. My heart has also stopped.

As always, I leave before my father returns home.

And as always, the streets are full of people.

But I don't know them.

They don't know me either.

We... are not friends.

The people I know that lurk in the darkness of the city, are also not my friends.

My head begins to spin. My heart tightens in my chest.

But...

I can hear it. I can hear the beating of my heart.

My nervous heart begins to beat.

I can actually feel my heart racing,

I feel like I'm still alive. There...

But I'm scared.

Scared to death about the kind of things that could happen.

Gang Yu!

Charisma? -=Charisma: name of Sang Ho when he was a boxer=-

Do you think you're still capable of being Charisma?

Anyone want to go first?

Go home. We'll meet again.

You're back. You look well.

Are you all right? The Geonjohoe won't let you off easily, you know.

Are you scared?

I'm scared.

Then, why do you still come to the streets?

Seems to me that you're quite confident with your straight punch.

Your straight punches are good but that will not be enough.

You cannot predict what these people will do.

Then, what should I do? If I want to stay on the streets I will have to train.

I knew there was something going on. It seems our guess was correct.

Gwon Sang Ho isn't the type to get involved in other people's business.

Why did you come here?

Why? Is there something you want to say?

Cut the crap. We already know that you and the Hunter are working together.

First you let the Hunter take out the bosses, then you go and collect the prize.

Not a bad script for a movie but how do you propose I do it?

What I think is not important.

So, you're going to be stubborn and fight to the death?

Your fists are like weapons so you don't need something like this.

Like I said before, you can't take these guys lightly.

Let's not stand here and chat.

What are you doing?

What?

There will be a large group coming soon, can you take them all?

That won't be enough. Do you know what the best course of action is?

What is it? Tell me.

This time, escape is the best option.

Brat! Brat! Catch him! Catch him!

If there are many people, should you always run?

It depends on the situation.

But, why do you want to remain on the streets?

Because I want to feel it.

Feel what?

To feel like I am someone with a heartbeat.

If you want to remain here, then you have to improve.

The streets are not an easy place to be in. They won't take people that run from a fight.

You either stay and fight or you leave. Those are the only two options.

From now on, you are someone that will not retreat.

Your straight punches are good. They're quick and powerful.

Though your punch or attack is good, your footwork is very poor

And now everyone knows that.

Then what should I do?

Now, you cannot just use your fists. Your feet must move as well.

The legs must be bent, as though a force from the ground is bending them.

When turning, use one leg as the pivot point, and make full use of the upper body to initiate the turn.

Keep the joints relaxed. Be flexible and balanced.

Hit me.

Pardon me?

I want to test you.

Hit me.

You have to be accurate in your strike.

If not, I will hit you.

From now on, don't retreat.

Retreating is just the same as hiding.

The opportunities to strike only appear at the time where you would retreat.

Of course, there is some risk involved.

But in order to gain something, you must be willing to risk it.

In the future, just keep advancing.

You must want to win.

But, why do you want to help me?

Why? I suppose, it's...

because I find you interesting.

I'm not very interesting...

Why are we still waiting here?

Don't we have to teach Jeon Sang Ho a lesson?

They were beaten by the Hunter.

The Hunter and Jeon Sang Ho are working together.

That is still to be confirmed...

I didn't hear Geonjohoe say that.

Are you with the gang just so you can stay out of trouble?

Beating up Jeon Sang Ho is no easy task.

That will trigger a gang war.

So be it. Jeon Sang Ho can't be that formidable.

This is exactly why Jinseonghoe loses to Geonjohoe.

If you're afraid, then just quit!

Who's the one that keeps whining?

What is your name?

I'm Gang Tae Seok.

Ah, so you're Gang Tae Seok. I heard there was a hot head among the new recruits.

So that must be you.

I am not a hot head.

I heard he used to do taekwondo and was quite good at it.

That's right.

Taekwondo. Not something you see on the streets everyday.

You won't make it on the streets with just taekwondo.

If you finish cleaning up early, you can go to the sauna.

Chairman.

Taekwondo isn't good enough?

Why?

Hey, new kid. On the streets, you can't just wait for your enemies to appear.

Taekwondo, that's already old news on the streets.

To defeat someone using a single kick is not something that can be easily done.

Therefore on the streets, judo boxing is better.

I used to box, so I know.

Do you want to go a round?

Are you challenging me?

I want to prove it to you.

What?

Prove to you that the taekwondo you know is not the same as the taekwondo I use.

And you must keep your promise.

Okay if you win, I'll let you fight them one on one.

You'll start with the Hunter. If you defeat him, then you can fight Jeon Sang Ho and consider that a declaration of war.

Shall we start?

Starting with noises? This isn't boxing.

Do you fight with your words?

If you fall, it's over.

If not, I'll throw you down in a wrestling hold.

Taekwondo is useless in real combat.

Pak Cheol Ung really is an embarrassment.

I really can't understand how Pak Cheol Ung was beaten using taekwondo.

Yes, exactly. Taekwondo is difficult to use in real combat.

What happens if their foot gets caught? Doesn't that mean they're finished?

Taekwondo doesn't just use the feet to kick.

If taekwondo doesn't use the foot, what else can they do?

There's still the hand skills.

How do they apply that in real combat?

That we don't know.

But the taekwondo hand chop isn't just for shattering tiles.

Although it's not practical for use in competitions,

if it hits at the right moment and area with power, it can be a devastating weapon.

Chairman,

I already said that my taekwondo

What's this?

Chairman!

You brat! Rotten brat!

Sunbaenim, now do you know which fighting method is better?

As long as the user has previously had formal training, it's possible.

Gang Tae Seok should be able to.

You know Gang Tae Seok?

We used to train together, a long time ago.

Oh right, you used to do taekwondo, didn't you? Do you know each other from then?

Yes, for a short time.

That guy is fierce. He is also quite impulsive.

Because of this new face on the block, it looks like times won't be so peaceful.

Yes, and we originally thought Jinseonghoe would have stayed out of this dispute.

Does that mean it won't be safe for us either?

Why should it?

They seem to believe that the Hunter is in a gang with us.

Geonjohoe and Jinseonghoe both think so.

Is that so? But why did you interfere at that time?

It didn't have anything to do with us.

And we don't know the kid.

Seems like you felt something...

Ah, how have you been?

Considering it's him, it's going to be like that. You'll never understand him.

You're at the shop early.

Yes... just wanted to take a look.

Do you want any help?

No need.

You can all continue to chat, no need to worry. I know already.

Yes.

Don't go playing now.

I'm looking for a job.

You too?

I'm also looking for a job.
