Real Man-Chapter 627:

First, they refined the vague problem identification section from the ‘test’.

They divided it into three parts: internal problem identification, external trend analysis, and competitor analysis.

The display agents took charge of the internal problem identification, which had the widest scope.

Kim Sung-deuk, the deputy manager, was assigned the external trend analysis, and Shin Nak-kyun, the section chief, was given the competitor analysis.

This part was not in the original content, but it was a necessary task to reorganize from scratch.

It showed the team leader Na Do-yeon’s intention to connect this opportunity to her work.

It was also a good idea to subtly pit the two people who had clashed against each other.

This way, they had no choice but to prepare diligently.

“Not bad.”

Yoo-hyun nodded his head as he looked at the next content.

Since the previous content had explained everything, they decided to only discuss the core points in the ‘duel’.

They set the direction to present clear concept results and critique each other.

The team leader Na Do-yeon would decide the outcome by reflecting the opinions of the team members.

The amount of data to prepare was reduced, but they needed to dig deeper to keep the other side in check.

It meant that they had to focus a little more instead of tearing each other apart.

The result of the email was immediate.

There was no more factional conflict in the office.

The schedule was too tight and there was so much to prepare, so everyone was busy working.

Maybe it was because of their pride, but they all worked hard.

Yoo-hyun’s colleagues were no exception.

They did not just stay put, but went to the field to check the problems of the mobile phone business firsthand.

They tried hard to find the root cause of the invisible problems.

It was the result of the success DNA that they had with Yoo-hyun.

Everyone was busy like this, but Yoo-hyun was an exception among them.

The team leader Na Do-yeon did not say anything to him either.

She just told him not to help.

Thanks to that, Yoo-hyun was able to go to the appointment place with a relaxed mind.

-Senior, I have an interview at the gym today. I hope to see you after it’s over.

Today was the day he had promised with the champion Lee Jang-woo.

Lee Jang-woo’s interview took place inside the gym on the third floor.

Due to the limited time, several media outlets participated together.

Lee Jang-woo posed with his gloves on in front of many reporters.

Click. Click.

Along with the photo shoot, questions poured out.

“Lee Jang-woo, you knocked out Mark Rodriguez in one minute. What’s your secret?”

“How do you compare the before and after of entering the UFC? What’s the biggest difference?”

“You are raising the status of Korea. Do you feel that?”

Buzzing.

Kim Tae-soo mediated the questions that came out without order, and Lee Jang-woo calmly answered.

“The secret to my victory was, thanks to the support of this Number One Gym…”

All of his answers were textbook-like.

Yoo-hyun, who was watching him from afar, admired him.

“Jang-woo speaks so well.”

“That’s right. It’s all because he learned interview skills from me, right?”

Kang Dong-sik snorted as Oh Jung-wook nodded his head.

“You only taught him how to be sarcastic. If he did as you did, he would have been hated by the anti-fans.”

“What? If he cursed like you, he would have been buried by now.”

“What are you talking about?”

The noisy sound was only for a moment, and the gym owner came up with a touching expression.

Yoo-hyun stepped back a bit, sensing that it would be noisy.

Sure enough. The gym owner slapped the back of their heads.

Smack. Smack.

“Ow!”

He then growled with his teeth clenched.

“Hey, how dare you make noise while Jang-woo is being interviewed?”

“Why are you only doing this to us?”

Oh Jung-wook looked at Yoo-hyun with a wronged expression, and Yoo-hyun quickly changed the subject.

He couldn’t be treated the same when he was relatively less noisy.

“Gym owner, why is Tae-soo wearing sunglasses?”

“I don’t know. Maybe he doesn’t like showing his face since he switched to coaching.”

“That could be possible.”

Kim Tae-soo gave up the champion title because of his age and injury, and became Lee Jang-woo’s coach.

Thanks to that, Lee Jang-woo, who was overseas, received a lot of help.

Regardless of the results, Kim Tae-soo might have been reluctant to expose himself to the media.

He was no longer the protagonist, but a supporter.

Yoo-hyun nodded his head, and Oh Jung-wook said something unexpected.

“That’s not it. Tae-soo, he’s just like that because he drank American water.”

“American water?”

“Yeah. He wears sunglasses even when he eats or goes to the bathhouse. He’s weird.”

“Come on, really?”

“I’m telling you. He’s doing that because he has a lot of American female fans.”

“Wow…”

Yoo-hyun lost his words at Oh Jung-wook’s shocking testimony.

The interview that took place in the gym continued in the restaurant on the first floor.

Behind Lee Jang-woo, the menu of the newly opened ‘Na Do Kimbap’ was visible.

There was a reason why the interview was held here.

-The champion’s recommended golden diet.

It was because of the corner in the interview.

A grandmother in a chef’s uniform personally served the kimbap on the table.

The reporters ate Lee Jang-woo’s recommended kimbap first.

The kimbap, named Champion Kimbap, was made for Lee Jang-woo.

Munch. Munch.

“Wow! It’s really big. It deserves to be called Champion Kimbap.”

“There’s beef, pork, and chicken in it?”

“There are also well-mixed vegetables, and it’s brown rice with a small amount. It feels like a perfect protein diet.”

“It’s bland, but surprisingly savory.”

The reporters who had heard the explanation from Lee Jang-woo beforehand praised it.

Click. Click.

They even took close-up pictures of the kimbap.

It naturally looked like a promotion for the kimbap shop.

This was something Yoo-hyun did not expect at all.

He asked from the corner where he was watching.

“Did you prepare this on purpose?”

The answer was given by Park Young-hoon, who came out with his slippers on.

“Ah, Jang-woo is so grateful for the kimbap shop.”

“What’s there to be grateful for Jang-woo? How did he know about the kimbap?”

“Oh, when Jang-woo first returned…”

Lee Jang-woo needed to control his diet even during the rest period for the next match.

But resisting Korean food was torture.

The gym manager told this problem to the grandmother, and she developed kimbap that the players could eat before Lee Jang-woo came.

From the grandmother’s perspective, she wanted to repay the people at the gym who helped her a lot.

After that, Lee Jang-woo, who tasted the kimbap at the suggestion of the gym manager, fell in love with the kimbap, according to the rumor.

The grandmother’s heart returned as the result today.

Lee Jang-woo praised it in front of the reporters.

“As I said in the interview earlier, the best thing about returning to Korea was meeting this kimbap.”

“Is it better than the last victory?”

“Of course. Nothing can beat this kimbap.”

“Hahaha!”

The reporters burst into laughter at Lee Jang-woo’s humor.

Yoo-hyun smiled contentedly as he watched.

The relationship that started with Nadoha was connected like a branch, and it bloomed into a new relationship like this.

“Doha should have seen this.”

“I know. He said he would come down, but he’s stuck in the office and won’t come out.”

“I’ll have to see him tonight.”

It was when Yoo-hyun answered Park Young-hoon’s words.

The kimbap on the table was all gone, and the grandmother was wondering whether to bring more or not.

Lee Jang-woo looked like he wanted more, so Yoo-hyun stepped up.

“I’ll deliver it.”

Yoo-hyun personally delivered the kimbap to the grateful reporters and Lee Jang-woo.

Lee Jang-woo greeted Yoo-hyun.

“Senior, thank you.”

“What did I do? I’m the one who’s thankful.”

Yoo-hyun chuckled.

It was then.

A reporter blinked his eyes at Yoo-hyun.

“Excuse me…”

“Yes?”

“Ah! That’s right. You’re the coach who raised that champion, right? The one who smashed his back?”

“That’s not what happened.”

What’s going on here?

Yoo-hyun was confused, and Lee Jang-woo took off his coat as if he had been waiting.

Flap.

Then he pointed to the palm print on the back of his T-shirt and smiled.

“That’s right. He’s the owner of this palm print.”

“What? Why are you wearing this?”

“I guess I remembered it because I was meeting my senior.”

Was he always this easygoing?

The absurd situation was only for a moment, and the reporters who found their prey rushed in.

“Wow! Can we take a picture?”

“Please strike a pose with the back smashing!”

“It’s been a while since I remembered, and I think it would make a good picture, don’t you think?”

“…”

Yoo-hyun was speechless at the ridiculous situation.

The absurdity continued even after the interview was over.

Yoo-hyun looked at Lee Jang-woo, who he faced on the ring, with a dumbfounded expression.

“Why do you want to spar with me?”

“I just want to.”

“There are many great people in the US team besides me. I’m not much help now.”

No matter how hard Yoo-hyun tried, he couldn’t compare to Lee Jang-woo’s skills in the real game.

He had already felt that when Lee Jang-woo was preparing for the championship match.

Since then, Lee Jang-woo had grown by shedding several layers of his shell.

On the other hand, Yoo-hyun was in the same place.

He was rather a burden in this situation, but Kim Tae-soo, who stood on the ring, thought differently.

He still wore sunglasses and said.

“Yoo-hyun, just spar with him. Sparring with you was Jang-woo’s bucket list.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. Ask Jang-woo.”

“Senior, please take care of me.”

Lee Jang-woo’s expression was serious.

Yoo-hyun had no choice but to put on his gloves.

Lee Jang-woo looked at his respected senior.

He met Yoo-hyun when he was two months into his gym life, when everything felt easy.

He suffered his first shocking defeat in his life to an ordinary office worker who was not even a player.

He didn’t feel angry.

Rather, his mind flashed and he gained a ray of enlightenment.

It was the thrill of the fight.

Everything changed after that.

Now, when he was stuck at his limit, Lee Jang-woo wanted to feel that heart again.

He was sure that he could do that if he faced Yoo-hyun.

Just like when they prepared for the championship match together.

-As soon as you get on the ring, it’s a real game. Don’t let your guard down, or you could die.

Lee Jang-woo’s eyes sparkled as he recalled Yoo-hyun’s teaching.

Meanwhile, Yoo-hyun was worried sick.

‘That kid, he’s serious.’

His fierce eyes were the same as when they prepared for the championship match together.

But since then, Yoo-hyun hadn’t had a proper sparring session.

The biggest reason was that there was no one who could give him tension after Kim Tae-soo and Lee Jang-woo left.

At this rate, he wouldn’t even be a warm-up opponent for Lee Jang-woo.

The worry was only for a moment.

Clack.

Yoo-hyun clenched his fists and took his stance.

Once he decided to do it, he couldn’t avoid it.

It wasn’t a courtesy to his sincere opponent.

Yoo-hyun nodded his head, and the game started with the bell.

The first one to move was Lee Jang-woo.

Snap.

He was sure he checked his footwork when he rushed, but his fist was already in front of his nose.

Yoo-hyun barely dodged, and a combination followed.

Tat-tat.

Yoo-hyun backed away and raised his concentration, avoiding his punches and kicks one by one.
