‘Weakest swimmer’ Jin Seo-yeon is taking on her first ocean swimming challenge.

The 6th episode of tvN‘s ‘Iron Girls (directed by Bang Geul-i)’, which will air on the afternoon of the 12th, will reveal the story of the 2nd day of the Jeju training camp. The members will learn from ‘Iron Man 3 legend’ Heo Min-ho how to wear a wetsuit and how to look ahead through their first open water training, and prepare for the real thing.

Jin Seo-yeon, who has a fear of water, had stopped the race at 75m, half of the target distance, due to unstable breathing during a relay swimming competition at an indoor swimming pool. As her first ocean swimming is not expected to be easy, Jin Seo-yeon’s situation of stopping as soon as she starts swimming is raising curiosity.

In addition, the birth of the strongest learner, following in the footsteps of former competitive swimmer Yoo-i, is also anticipated, raising interest. Team leaders Heo Min-ho and Kim Dong-hyun reportedly praised the member‘s performance in swimming quickly and in the correct direction while keeping an eye on the front.



The ‘Iron Girls’, who finished open water training, continue their outdoor running training even in the rainy weather. Jin Seo-yeon, Yui, Seol In-ah, and Park Joo-hyun, who ran 5km in the last basic physical fitness test, are running on the Jeju coast instead of the stadium with the goal of improving their times.

However, Seol In-ah, who is particularly weak at running, shows signs of rapid exhaustion and falls behind. “My pace is the worst”, “How can I run 10km?” She was seen worrying, saying, ‘Athletic genius’ Seol In-ah will be able to overcome running, so attention is focused on whether she will be able to do so.

The Jeju training camp of Jin Seo-yeon, Uee, Seol In-ah, and Park Joo-hyun, who grow while encountering their own limits, continues today (the 12th) at 5:50 PM on tvN’s ‘Iron Girls’.
