"Standing on the Edge of a Sword"

It may be a film just for them

showcasing the stuntman

like no other.

But it is also a precious record

of their shared 6 months in 2004.

They take a break from shooting

to watch TV.

This TV show features their debut.

At the time, they were happy to see

themselves on TV and full of dreams.

Yet 4 years later, at present,

only 3 of them still work in stunts.

Jin-seock, Gui-duck, and Sung-il.

Hey! I'm supposed to be

in that scene. Where am I?

Crap! That's only my arm!

Were these 3

different from the start?

Let's start with Jin-seock

whose arm only made it on to TV.

This is his audition tape.

2004 Seoul Action School Auditions

Jin-seock KWAK

I used to be a hairdresser...

Well, you can't show that here.

Show us something physical

you can do.

As usual,

his secret weapon is his abs.

How does the saying go?

"Heroes are made by the era..."

That year, the boxing film "Crying Fist"

was being made so he got in.

Won-joong KIM

Stunt Director/Actor of LEGEND

What were the 8th year auditions like?

Oh, those guys!

They were...

They were real... Idiots.

I was betting everything

on this so...

At first...

I'd just charge through.

Have you done any sports?

Gui-duck KWON

No, I haven't. But I've done

some construction work.

Did you wear dress shoes

to this audition?

From the best shop in Daegu...

Aren't they uncomfortable?

Dress shoes and

jeans are a little...

It shows a lack of...

You seem ill prepared.

I thought today was about

seeing how I looked,

that sort of interview.

We don't care how you look.

Not right now.

My major...

I used be a car mechanic.

You know in movies and on TV,

where they flip cars dangerously?

Can you do that if asked?

Well... I...

I specialize in fixing cars

not breaking them.

So I'm not sure if I... can...

But if you're

talking about flipping...

If you want me to flip...

That day, he flipped his body

instead of a car.

But today, he is one of the best

car-flipping stuntmen in Korea.

That's all.

Wow! Thank you. Good job!

Please accept me for your school!

For my specialty,

I said I dance some...

And so I danced.

And even though I was terrible,

I'd do a split

and stretch... in jeans.

Those jeans were

really tight too.

But I did it.

Of course, they laughed.

They laughed but... I think they

chose me because I made them laugh.

When I got the call,

I made a big bow to them.

Well, a big bow to the phone.

First, we tend to look at how

sincere and humane they are.

Then we look

at their physical talent.

Sung-il SHIN

I'm from Pohang.

My name is Sung-il Shin.

You're a good looking guy.

Why did you apply?
