The video showed MMA fighter Park Hyung Geun and female bodybuilder Chun Ri going against each other in a “one-on-one death match”. In episode 2, which was released earlier, Park Hyung Geun drew attention by directly choosing Chun Ri as his opponent.

In the video, Park Hyung Geun tripped Chun Ri with his leg. Chun Ri, who fell to the floor, tried to fight back despite being affected by the sudden situations and pain, but eventually Park Hyung Geun gained the upper hand.

Chun Ri struggled to escape the pressure, but her effort was not enough. Park Hyung Geun shouted “I’m sorry” toward Chun Ri before pressing her chest with his knee to suppress her. The female participants who were watching the match shouted, “Her chest, chest,” expressing their displeasure.

In response, Park Hyung Geun glanced at the stands and did the gesture of zipping up his mouth to warn the women to “shut up,” creating a fierce atmosphere.
