The day of the final battle has arrived for the ‘Iron Girls’ who have been running to be reborn as iron men.

The final episode of tvN‘s ‘Iron Girls (directed by Bang Geul-i)’, which will air on the 16th, will reveal the scene filled with blood, sweat, and tears of Jin Seo-yeon, Yui, Seol In-ah, and Park Joo-hyun who have participated in the Tongyeong World Triathlon Cup, their final goal.

Jin Seo-yeon, Yui, Seol In-ah, and Park Joo-hyun have been working hard for four months, from basic physical training to high-intensity practical training, with the goal of completing the Tongyeong competition.

The members’ growing ‘iron mentality’ to not give up no matter how difficult and hard it was to complete the 1.5km swim, 40km cycle, and 10km run drew cheers from viewers.

On the day of the Tongyeong competition with about 1,300 participants, the members head to the stadium early in the morning to check the supplies and equipment needed for the competition. Not only did Seol In-ah‘s senior from her agency Kim Soo-hyun cheer for the ‘Iron Girls’ to complete the race, but the members were even more encouraged by the warm hearts of their families and friends who ran all the way to Tongyeong and pledged to complete the race.

“We’re all going to finish. The ending has been decided”, the eldest member Jin Seo-yeon‘s one word, and a powerful cheer, raise expectations for the ending where everyone completes the race.

However, the first swimming course is not easy, which makes hearts race. Jin Seo-yeon, who has a fear of water, is in danger of being cut off as she keeps stopping and starting near the starting point and cannot swim properly. Park Joo-hyun, who had boasted noticeably improved swimming skills, also said that her mentality had a breakdown due to the spicy taste of swimming in a real competition with many people, so attention is focused on whether the two will be able to finish swimming on time.

The ace of the ‘Iron Girls’, Yui and Seol In-ah, who has strong stamina, also face difficulties. In particular, novice cyclist Yui encounters an unexpectedly difficult hurdle while riding and falls so hard that her racing suit is torn, which puts her on the red light. Meanwhile, Seol In-ah is worried about being cut off because running has always been difficult for her. The earnestness is even greater as she failed to finish the race due to an injury in the last mock race.

The results of Jin Seo-yeon, Yui, Seol In-ah, and Park Joo-hyun’s Tongyeong World Triathlon Cup will be revealed on tvN‘s ‘Iron Girls’, which will air on the 16th at 5:50 PM.
