How do you feel? Do you think you'll win again?
My fellow nominees are distinguished
But more importantly I won last year,
so it may be hard for me to win again
But despite all that if you win this award,
will you pledge something to your fans?
If I win, I'll take the trophy and embark
on a cross-country trek
The award goes to YELLOW SEA'S Ha Jung-woo.
Will he really go?

What kind of dance is that?
Don't know, going with the flow

PROJECT 577
Ha Jung-woo, Kong Hyo-jin and 16 actors will walk 577km from Seoul to Haenam in 20 days
Any dropouts will come back to Seoul alone
Participants' lives will be captured during the trip and made into a documentary
D-7
Park Ah-in (27, actress) My name is Park Ah-in
Park Ah-in (27, actress)
I am 27 and a newcomer
I enjoy boxing in my free time
I want to go all the way together
Choi Hee-seo (26, actress) I played Yeo-sun in LIFTING KING KONG
I work out quite a bit, but got into modern dance
and pilates recently
I know my body can handle this
Choi Jin-wook (27, student) I played hockey and American football in Canada
I didn't play soccer very much
Friends told me that if I use the energy into acting
I could become a decent actor
Lee Seung-joon (34, actor) I've been a triathlete for a while
Swimming, and walking use different muscles
Cha Hyun-woo (33, actor), Kim Jun-gyu (33, actor) People tell us we're partners
Cha Hyun-woo (33, actor), Kim Jun-gyu (33, actor) But I don't know why they say that
I want to have fun losing weight I hate treadmills and gym
So we're skipping dinner
Lee Sang-won (29, actor, model) What?
Lee Sang-won (29, actor, model) Sorry, I gotta take this call
Lee Sang-won (29, actor, model) I don't have a manager
I got a one-man system going
It'll be a challenge like no other
Ha Suk (28, actor) and manager My name is Ha Suk
Ha Suk (28, actor) and manager They get paid per day on this trip
You gotta cross the finish line, no matter what
And get as much screen time as possible
Lee Soo-in (26, Miss Chunhyang) Miss Chunhyang?
Lee Soo-in (26, Miss Chunhyang)
Lee Soo-in (26, Miss Chunhyang) It's the second biggest beauty pageant in Korea
No one's assigned a role, so it's a good opportunity
to show what I'm capable of
Kim Geun-hyun (30, comedian) I'm comedian for MBC station
My 3-year old segment was never aired
and I reevaluated my skills
and took up acting, but it's more fun
Anticipation?
Kim Hye-hwa (30, actress) I trekked Himalayas 10 years ago
I love traveling
This'll be another amazing experience
Kang Shin-chul (34, actor) I love generous women
Can't you eat with your mouth closed?
Kang Shin-chul (34, actor) I've been single for 2 years now
There's surplus of women
It'll be a gratifying experience and there'll be something for me too
Your hairstyle overlaps with Hyo-jin's
Lee Seung-ha (23, actress) That's not a problem at all,
Lee Seung-ha (23, actress) because my youth is an advantage over her
Without teamwork, there is nothing
Without it, there's no me, nor team
Kim Sung-kyun (32, actor) I got into a theater company at 18
After getting married and when my son was born,
I thought I needed to end my acting career
I was sick of it
For my son, I want to come back as a healthy father
Han Sung-chun (35, unemployed) I was in 1 film this year, as an extra
In NAMELESS GANGSTER I played a gangster
Honestly, it doesn't pay the bill
My parents let me pursue my dreams as an actor
But I'm not getting any younger
I want to make one promise to myself
If I can't complete even this, my life isn't worth a damn
- Did you get enough footage? - Yeah
What have you shot?
Hyo-jin drinking, exercising together
Hyo-jin, take this camera when you leave for Berlin
- And do what? - Do a video diary
I'm so stressed out because of this I don't know what to shoot
Finally here
Can't see very well
Kong Hyo-jin (32, actress) I'm all alone now and this is my video diary
I don't know where this will be edited into the film
If it's early on, I want to say a word of encouragement
If mid-way through the trek when I'm tired and down
I'd say it's just as hard as I had imagined
and I'll look back at this and remember my determination
Like a firm conviction
I'm a terribly shy person
It's gotten worse in the past 2, 3 years and it's at its peak
I don't try to get to know any new people anymore
I think it's waste of energy
'Why do I have to make an effort?' I thought 2 years ago
And now this
I don't know what'll come out of it, but I'll give it a try
I don't know if I can finish this
And then... this is enough
It's a bright morning
Some members are nervous
I don't know what for
I couldn't sleep, like the night before entering the military
This is my long-time manager
How about a word?
Lee Sang-hoon (Ha Jung-woo's manager) I hope you complete this without an incident
- Good luck! - Wait a second
Koreans say 'good luck' too much
We gotta put a stop to this
B°Oyah!
Ha Jung-woo (34, actor) There's a proverb that applies to me
'Watch your words, for they become actions'
Hyo-jin and I met while filming LOVE FICTION
Pardon me
We were drinking at separate tables
She later joined us and said she wanted to partake in it
He said that? That I enthusiastically agreed to join?
I thought she was kidding, how could an actress walk almost 600km?
But she wasn't kidding
I said it'd be fun when I was drunk
I double checked, to make sure she's in
I contemplated pulling out many times
Others are embarking on a journey to self-discovery
But I don't really have a special goal
Mimi! Mimi!
Mimi's a female, she's 2 years old now
I forced her into this trip and she doesn't know what I got her into
Mimi (2, female poodle) Mimi, you have to walk for 20 days
You know that right? Can you feel it?
Mimi?
Gather around!
Line Up!
' "Yo-jin _ Yes?
HY0-j I n
Could you stand in front with the dog?
Wait!
Good morning!
Hey, Ji-hoon!
18th and final member, unexpectedly joined just 3 days ago
Let me get your name first
Why, gonna do a background check?
Lee Ji-hoon (33, actor) My name is Lee Ji-hoon
Lee Ji-hoon (33, actor) I debuted on KBS TV drama, and still work there
I'm often called the Brad Pitt of morning soap opera
You're so handsome
Much better in person
During my depression, I had exhibitionism addiction
but recovered after dating my girlfriend
I hope we finish this trek with smiles on our faces
Thank you
- Let's start with a 'good luck' - No need for that
Good luck!
Day 1 - November 15, 2011 Target distance: 18km Clear sky, 12 C / 3 C
Mimi's a fatty like us, look at that body
You're skipping dinner too
How do you feel about the start?
Beautiful weather, and in top condition!
You won't be so energetic in a few days
- How old are you? - 26
You're 26? And Moon-kyung's 32?
- I'm 26 too! - Seriously?
Hye-hwa's 30
You're the youngest, 23 right?
Great age
This is for your own good
This'll draw attention away from your nose
Advantage of a large nose?
Why people should enlarge their noses
I can breathe in more air at once
Improved intake capacity
- Watch your feet - There's manhole over here
When do we eat?
I'm starving
- What time do we eat? - In an hour
Chicken broth lunch
How many dropouts during your last trek?
My group has 200 members and 70% completed the trek
70%?
- And do they drop out in the first week? - Usual by the first 3 days
Some girls threw up and cried
This should be interesting 3 days
Are there any rules?
Those who do not meet the following rules
will not be allowed to continue
1. Physically incapacitated
2. Medical staff deems unfit to continue
3. Ignores medical advice 3 times
4. Lags behind from the group, or does not show up in the morning
Due to sensitivity of the matter, we will be very strict
Toe-socks will apparently prevent blisters
Really? But it looks so hideous
Don't show them your feet
- Which role in NAMELESS GANGSTER? - I played Chang-woo
Take a bow
Pleased to meet you, I'm Park Chang-woo
Who the fuck are you?
He's rather cute
It's been like a dream
I wondered if I really shot this film
- Sang-won, how many films were you in? - 6 films so far
Which ones? Flaunt a bit
My debut was THE MOONLIGHT OF SEOUL
♪2 here is big, so it's grotesque
Grotesque, so it's sad
♪2, Sad Cock
And THE CLIENT
- What was your lowest pay? - Lowest?
- I shouldn't really say - We're all family here
200 bucks
So heartbreaking but hits so close to home
We're almost there, 40 more minutes?
40 more minutes to go
Today was a piece of cake
What should we do with free time?
Day 1 stat - dropouts: 0, injuries: 0 Camping inside a church hall
Snorers? Who snores badly?
Let's be ethical about this, hands up if you snore badly
4 of us will sleep together
Rock, paper, scissors! Scissors!
Rock, paper, scissors!
I may not sleep tonight I'm with the snorers
577!
What's he up to now?
3 total members, all accounted for, confirm!
' One! _ Two!
Ready for lights out! Stand by!
577
What's she doing?
Member check
Total of 3, currently 3
Is that all?
- One! - One! I meant, two!
Today's comment
I thought the first day would be easy
but compared to you all, I'm on the verge of passing out
I hope that we all complete this trek together
It's better to eat small amounts every 2 hours, rather than feasting
It's fried chicken that a friend brought
My stomach wouldn't stop growling after skipping dinner
- But it's fried - Grease's all sipped out
Don't justify it
Day 2 - November 16, 2011 Target distance: 23km Clear sky, 15 C / 5 C
Good morning, this is field reporter Lee
We've just arrived in Kunpo
Let's chat with one of the exhausted members
How would you describe your personality in a sentence?
- Gets better with age - Is that so?
My first impression isn't good
Are you aware of your sleeping habit?
Breaking news
There are reports of sleep disturbance due to a toad invasion
As the field reporter I'll seek out the source
I think I hear it from that tent, no, this one
ls there anyone in the group you don't feel comfortable with?
Or someone you're interested in?
- I hope we don't end up together - Is that so?
Day 2 ends without incident
Day 3 - November 17, 2011 Target distance: 24km Cloudy, 16 C/10 C
- What day is it? - Day 3
That's right, today is day 3
I couldn't sleep much
She stops snoring if you poke her
But her snore-free period is getting shorter
Seung-ha's amazing
Can't we do something about her?
Film her snoring, it's really bad
Kim Mu-jin (trek pacesetter) Day 3 is the turning point of all cross-country trek
You may have doubts about yourself and this trek
Don't lose sight of your original goal
This is really important, do not lose sight of your goal
I slept maybe 2 or 3 hours
I was pissed and looked at my cell and it was 1:58 am
I wasn't myself then, please edit out my rant
I was on the verge of crying because I couldn't sleep
This is serious
I'm so tired
What could we do? I'm going nuts here
I can only maintain my cool for so long without sleep
We were just talking about how to deal with her snoring
Taking herbal meds, I'm in bad shape due to lack of sleep
I'm going crazy too, that puppy kept me up!
Today's my last day, this is it!
I'm gonna go home and snore
I don't care if they're older, I'll bitch at them!
I'll shout and apologize aftewvards
Come
Come on Mimi, I can't carry you all day
You didn't sleep too?
Is it your legs?
Are you hurt?
She won't walk
Her limit is 50m
50m?
She won't walk anymore than that
Hyo-jin has Mimi to keep her company,
but I have Mina Say hello
Mina (no data) Hi, I'm Mina and I don't snore
Bye everyone
Because my zodiac sign is a horse, I had to stop here
Let's have an impromptu interview with Ms. Lee Soo-in
- Afternoon - Hello
My name is Lee Soo-in and I'm 26
I won the Chunhyang beauty pageant
Chunhyang? Isn't that really hard to win?
First place! Lee Soo-in! Congratulations!
Who's your favorite actress?
Lee Mi-sook
So she's your role model?
If she's your role model,
then which guy on our team are you most interested in?
What? So random!
Anyone you can't stop watching?
Someone you wish to have dinner with?
Kang Shin-chul
Kang Shin-chul!
- Dangerous man! - Why?
Condom - 50 cents
Day 3, Lee Soo-in shows interest in Kang Shin-chul
Good evening
This is the first episode of HAMS
a.k.a. HA Jung-woo's Motel Show
Thank you for joining us
I am your host Ha Jung-woo
HAMS (Ha Jung-woo's Motel Show)
Our team's sexiest man, Kang Shin-chul
Let's bring in our first and only guest
Please come in
So good to have you
Have you been well?
How's the trek so far? It's been 3 days
It's hard, but fun and pleasant
Which part is fun?
Being with people, eating 3 meals a day
That's fun? Eating 3 meals?
Feels like I'm back in the military
We heard that you're the sexiest guy among us
Why're people talking about you like that?
- We had an interview earlier - We sure did
We asked Soo-in whom she found sexy,
someone she was interested in
She picked you right away
She didn't mention that earlier when we got a chance to talk
Of course she won't reveal that
She said I was an old and juvenile
But that's why she found you sexy
I'm not sure... how to respond
Is that so?
Are you uncomfortable?
- Just embarrassed - Relax
We apologize for the commercial ﬂight just above the set - Pull down the zipper - Sure, why not
- What is a 'woman' to you? - Air?
As in, 'air is everywhere'?
Women are always around, but that doesn't mean they're all mine
- Then what about your air? - I'm single at the moment
But you'll suffocate
I think I used the wrong metaphor
- What is a 'woman' to you? - Let me answer more carefully
A mother figure?
Mother? So you can get allowance?
- That'd be nice, but what I mean is - Gotta have big tits?
Please don't joke about my mother
Please refrain family jokes
- What were you in your previous life? - I think I was a puppy
So you dry hump anything?
- Eat anything off the ground - Lick your own penis
One moment
I think I answered hastily
Perhaps a tiger
- So you attack and kill anything? - Very violent animal
One moment
I mean, tigers fight well
But not a match against an elephant
- I was an elephant in my previous life - You sure?
Let's go with elephant, I was an elephant
Because it fights well?
We somehow got fixated on fights, but what I want to say is that...
Elephant doesn't fit my metaphor
Tigers are aggressive and solitary animals
- You don't need a wingman to pick up women? - Not what I meant
More like a shadow striker rather than a main striker
So you're a permanent wingman?
You're good at making your guest uncomfortable
No other line of questions? Just about women?
Obvious commercial break
Max Sausages!
Happy snack for happy city dwellers
Day 4 - November 18, 2011 Target distance: 35km Scattered rain, 16 C / 11 C
Accumulated fatigue for 3 days
Adjustment period over More than 35km per day
Where's Hyo-jin?
She's started late Jun-gyu's with her
I don't like the food one bit
I asked myself what I'm doing here,
after taking a cold shower last night
'Where am I, who am I, and who are these people'?
Walking around without make-up,
I'm starting to get annoyed with cameras in my face all day
I've built an enchanting persona over the years
but now my real side is starting to seep out
Please don't shoot me
Level of difficulty spiked considerably
I won't die of exhaustion yet
We're now in Pyeongtaek
Unlike past 3 days, we walk 15km more
Today's target distance is 36km
I'm actually in a state of trance
Today's the first long distance walk, so we're feeling it immediately
It's painful, like walking barefoot,
full of blisters and so much blood
Good hustle today everyone
Finally, dinner!
I'm good at sewing
Bullshit, stop saying shit
What a half-assed job
- Let me look at it - You shouldn't
Day 5 - November 19, 2011 Target distance: 33km Cloudy, 16 C'/6 C
We're at 42-minute mark
Why didn't you tell us?
We announced it last night
My hearing's bad
- What if we're late? - You get a special water serenade
Off to Seoul then
Ms. Hyo-jin, you're late
Isn't the water serenade reserved for the last member?
You said only the last person would get it!
Just one person!
Have you had breakfast? How did it feel?
As soon as the water hits you, you're transported to fantasy land
Dear lord
You should experience it at least once on this trek
It's for you
He said I'd run away crying
My laser-focus attention will be on her from today
I may complete this trek, but I may never want to see him again
2 days with YGK Cross-country Trek Club
Let it all out
Very sweaty!
It's crunch time
Look at the gap between two teams
They're at least 400m back
Why are we rushing today? Are we competing?
It's okay to walk fast, but maintain your condition
We built teamwork today while going up against them
They brought us closer
We're 1!4 way there!
Day 5 - outdoor camping
Day 6, November 20, 2011 Target distance: 35km Clear, 6 C'/0 C
Moon-kyung
I think she's got an upset stomach
She got up first to prep and collapsed
I can't eat
Okay, I won't force you
This is not right, it's too cold
The perceived temperature feels like -5'C
So cold today
It's 6:50, let's pick up the pace
Pick up the pace for what?
Pick up the pace please
Don't you think this is too much?
- What? - We need to rest some more
Then you shouldn't have drank so much last night
I'm at fault for wanting to be on time?
You wake up at 6:50 and complaint?
I'm dressed and everything
Let's hurry up
I almost froze to death last night
And so windy too
I held onto the tent because I thought it'd blow away
Turns out, the tent cover was blown away
I'm worried about what's to come
40km over... Tear Hill?
I will be in tears
5km nonstop uphill
What?!
Let's get ready!
Tons more distance to cover till lunch
We're not at our usual speed
We'll increase the pace a little bit
- Let me have it - Just go
I really feel bad
Just walk before I smack you
Better to continue this rhythm, rather than taking a break
Why?!
We have to rest
Only 8km to go
We have to stop, no way I can go 8km!
Sure, it's up to our baby
One of us fell back, took too long to swap shoes
He's way too far back
We're getting support here but he's all alone
6 years without a girlfriend
When I'm used to loneliness, I adopt a dog
Bong, Jae, Kurt, Ji-su
They're all male
They say I should at least get female pups
But I feel awkward around women, even dogs
It's pathetic
I'm the most athletic one
Maybe that's why it hurts
It's okay, no need to do that
Just go with it
Don't be stubborn, old man
I'm okay
I'll do your nails or something
Restaurant owner Shouldn't you be in Gwang ju by now?
Day 7 - November 21, 2011 Target distance: 38km Clear, 8 C/-2 C Restaurant owner Shouldn't you be in Gwang ju by now?
I could stroll there with one foot
You won't be able to do this even if someone pays you,
when you're past 40
Don't waste your beautiful youth
It'll feel like a dream in just a few years
So right
Look, she's crying
Why are you crying?
Because of your fleeing youth?
(Don't wake him, let's just go)
Hurry, we gotta get going
He's completely out of it
They left without you
They got me good
- Welcome! - Good to see everyone!
I really wanted to wake you,
but they said not to
Or did you want me to dropout?
Of course not
- I think so - Definitely not
What will you do if same thing happens?
I'll wake you no matter what
Remember that
Look at me, I'll be watching you
- How are you? - Good job catching up
You were sleeping like a baby, we couldn't wake you
I thought of 2 people when I woke up
Who?
This bastard and you
Me?
Welcome Kong Hyo-jin and Ha Jung-woo and Project 577 crew
What's going on? It's like a village party
Feels good
See my young fans? My popularity is still alive
I can feel it wholeheartedly
I'm so thankful for the welcome
I'm Ha Jung-woo, sir
It's you, Mr. Ha
You look different like this
Lee Jun-won (Gongju mayor) Thank you all for your visit
Please enjoy your short stay
I hope you get enough rest and start strong tomorrow
Thank you!
Hospital visit
Do I keep on walking with this pain?
It won't improve? Will it stay the same?
This is more like manual labor rather than exercise,
because your body is overloaded to the point of exhaustion
Hello
If the pain continues, there is a good chance of stress fracture
So if the pain worsens, you have to get X-ray taken
I can only give you muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory meds
They got check-ups last night,
if you're in pain or have other symptoms,
Day 8, November 22, 2011 Target distance: 42km Cloudy, 10 C'/0 C please tell us and not hide it
Day 8, November 22, 2011 Target distance: 42km Cloudy, 10 C'/0 C
So how much have we walked so far?
Since this morning
We're about here
Walked around 13km
We covered a lot
Ha Suk has fallen behind
How far back is he?
Myung-woo, can you hear me?
Please respond
Looks like he's out of range
I'll push on as far as I can
Ha Suk (28, actor) Faith was my driving force for living
Faith that I'll get better if I live well
It's not looking good
Lee Ji-young (medical stafﬂ Can you maintain this pace tomorrow?
I doubt you will
My manager has stayed with me through thick and thin
He stayed with me when I failed
He had faith that I'd succeed,
despite sluggish business
I want to do my best because he believes in me
Future is important, but this moment as well
If I can't do this
I'm saying the pain may stay after the trek, not just now
I think I can make that call
I know how much pain I'm in when I move
Confessions
Confessions In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, amen
When I was mentally and physically drained,
I was out with a friend and his girlfriend,
and went to karaoke
and exposed myself
Soon they broke up
They broke up?
Yes, they didn't say it was me,
but my penis must be the reason
Were you clearheaded?
I was utterly drunk
Then you don't remember much?
Strangely, I remember that part clearly
Standing on the sofa, dropping my pants,
undies around my ankles
I showed them everything
Okay, what else?
When we started off, Seung-ha snored considerably
But I also snored quite a bit too
To other members of the team,
I made it look like she was the only snorer in the group
Do you know that she's been receiving a lot of hate
and she's a loner because of it, right?
- Yes, I do - Do you feel any remorse?
I do
I wish I could take all the burden
I'm ashamed to have done this to the baby of our group
Day 9 - November 23, 2011 Target distance: 46km Rain, 10 C / 3 C Massive clouds are passing through the southern region...
20-30mm of heavy shower per hour is expected tomorrow morning...
Unexpected heavy shower
Continuous injuries
Dangerous rainy road
Taking emergency shelter
- How long do we stay here? - It's not announced yet
This is killing me
If we continue as planned,
we'll reach our lodging after 7
We won't be able to do any shoot when we arrive
Attention please!
We wanted to continue as planned,
but due to bad weather, and dangerous uphill ahead
we'll regroup here and call it a day
We'll spend the night at this church and start tomorrow
Holy shit
And head for Wan ju and Moraejae Road tomorrow
So it's extended by a day?
The schedule is extended by one day
One more day
We'll sleep here tonight
Why does he call all the shots? He could've asked us
I don't like his attitude
Doesn't ask for our opinion, makes his own decision
Let's rest for a bit and gather our things later
We should've gotten pissed drunk last night!
To the acupuncture clinic Today is a God-sent break
To the acupuncture clinic
We need treatment badly otherwise we're done
I've been thinking about it since this morning
whether to tell them I'm dropping out
I feel like giving up whenever I feel the pain
I was getting a little better but the morning walk was brutal
4 cripples right here
Day 1'0 - November 24, 2011' Target distance: 1' 6km Clear, 6 Cl -1' Z3'
Let's hit the road
Seung-ha, what'll you do? We're leaving
I'll go
- What? - I'll continue
On the day we started, we made the rules very clear
You caused some scuffle with the crew last night
It was a serious incident
You said you called your manager to go home
You may leave and head home
We are falling a little behind, so we'll start at 8:10
Forget it
Please apologize
Forget it, why are they picking on me?
Of course not
Director, I'll have a chat with her
Seung-ha, let's talk in here
What happened last night?
I was drinking with camera crew, and one commented about my attitude
Attitude?
I don't know, he pissed me off
And?
I swore and said I was going home
He told me how to act and whatnot,
I should've kept my cool and held back
I know he meant well,
but in all honesty...
I'm gonna go home, I called my manager!
- 'Called my manager, I'm going home' - No, I didn't call him
They claimed you said this
You know how word gets around
People talk and when it gets around, it's so far from the truth
We're half way there
She can't graduate because of this
She'll have to take another semester
Let's forgive her
Think about it and talk to the AD
If you choose to stay,
you'll need to openly apologize to everyone before we leave
Let's give her one more chance
Please apologize
Be yourself
I'm very sorry for causing trouble
I said what I said for your own good, so that you finish this
Don't worry Seung-ha, just go easy on the drinks
How to drink beer in a flash
1. Make a square hole at the base
2. Put the hole to your mouth
3. Open the can
Over consumption could lead to accidents
It scares me, honestly
I didn't prep whole a lot for this
I'm walking because I want to lose some weight
People said this'd kill my knees and they tried to deter me
But I didn't listen, being macho about it
I gained 23kg while prepping for a role
I was portraying a real person, and it put stress on my knees
Sports Rehabilitation Center
One last time, two, three
Walking uphill will worsen this injury
It'll feel like the knee is pushed back while walking up
You have to stay alert, and increase tension when you feel it
Without tension to the thigh, you'll feel to push back
Are there any uphills?
- This is our planned route - What's the name of it?
Moraejae Road
Day 11 of the trek consists of 5km of continuous uphill
Due to exhaustion of the past 10 days, this will be a taxing course
Day 11 - November 25, 2011 Target distance: 34km Cloudy, 9 C/-5 C
Morning of the judgment day
I predict 4 dropouts today
I won't reveal their names yet
Up ahead is our road to hell! That's Moraejae Road!
Prepare yourself! Good luck!
Stop saying that
Give me your backpack
It's okay, backpack's not the problem
Right knee's busted, I taped it tight though
There's no end in sight
This is nice
Why did you bring me here?
Rather than resting at home doing nothing
I thought I'd give you some time to refresh yourself and reflect
All your friends and colleagues are here with you
But I didn't know anyone here starting out
I was lonely and even cried in my sleeping bag
I brought Mimi so that I wouldn't be all alone...
- But, are you crying? - I'm not crying
- Don't cry - I'm not!

Lee Sang-hoon, Fantagio
Let's go!
What's going on?
He's been with me for a long time
He's already feeling it
Should've exercised regularly
I found my pace, my shoes were the problem
You got frost on your hair
Are you okay?
Don't bother you?
He said he'd fire any of his actors who dropout
- I can't feel my legs - You've to get used to it
Ma'am! What are you doing here?
Ma'am!
No amount of money will make me do this again
Feels nice, but tired and irritable
Water serenade
There's no exception
Day 14 - November 28, 2011 Target distance: 29km Clear, 20 C / 7 C
Day 14 - November 28, 2011 Target distance: 29km Clear, 20 C / 7 C Let's line up
Suh Kang-joon, Ha Jung-woo's manager
Hurry, hurry!
Don't let Kang-joon get in there
Look at his flustered face
Shouldn't we confiscate his cell?
He won't do it Don't do it
Let's get going
This is our chance for revenge
This is going to be sweet
Get over here you shit!
Shit
When did they leave?
- 30 minutes ago - What?
30 minutes
Jin-wook, we have to go
Nothing I can do, except catch up
Interesting, getting pranked
Pick up the pace
I bet he's sprinting at the speed of light
to kick our asses for leaving him
What goes around, comes around
He deserves it
Shit!
See them? What do we do?
- Is he here? Running? - I see him
- How did it feel? - I was shocked
When I came to, I looked around
and saw this bastard lying there
I thought of leaving him, but that'd create a bigger problem
Who would give up first? Don't know his name...
Who would give up first? Mr. Han
Who would give up first? - Sung-chun - Definitely Sung-chun
Who would give up first? Han Sung-chun
Who would give up first? We walked together once and he fell behind
We won't finish together
Han Sung-chun (35, unemployed) Everyone picked me, right?
Han Sung-chun (35, unemployed)
I think so too
Even if I have to crawl, I'll complete this trek
Day 15 - November 29, 2011 Target distance: 35km Clear, 21 C / 8 C
Do you have to brush while walking?
Rock backpack
Beautiful weather!
A little foggy, but a great day to push on
Ha Jung-woo (34, actor) We'll begin the Sung-chun candid camera
We use Seung-ha as bait
She'll limp beside him
Sung-chun doesn't help others much, he won't take the bag at first
She'll hand the backpack to Sung-kyun
He'll take it first,
but he's been in bad shape, so Sung-chun will take over
That's how Sung-chun will carry the bag
I can't do this anymore
- Sung-kyun, are you okay? - Yeah
- Any takers? - Pain came back
Sang-won, you want to take over?
- Sorry dude - It's okay
I'll wear it then
Could you carry it for a bit?
Dammit!
- Thank you so much - Not a problem
Sung-chun is the man
He bit the bait
We have to make him carry it till lunch
But it's 9:45 now!
3 hours to go!
You saw the rocks inside, right?
Very nice
You must be in good shape, you look so relaxed
Relaxed, but sweaty all over
Will you carry it till end of the day?
I was thinking that, but I want us to share this experience
Who's 'us' exactly?
Aren't we in this together?
- There's no 'us' in 'individual' - We are one
I think you're gravely mistaken
- Are you really okay? - I'm fine
I didn't think it'd be this heavy
Can he walk?
It hurts, don't
We have to get to the next leg of the trek after this break
We have to leave soon
Give him 3 more minutes
There was too much weight on the knee
So much pressure on it
- Let's see if you can stand up - Okay
Let's get everyone ready!
- Which side? - Why all of sudden?
You put too much weight on it
Help him walk
- His knee's busted - Knees go out instantly
He was like this the whole time all morning
Shouldn't we give him some leeway?
He's hurt because we played a prank on him
Get the ambulance!
Let's get everyone to the next leg
Get the ambulance back here
Get in and pull him up
I know this is really uncomfortable and awkward situation
Young-hoon, could you come out?
I have to discuss this with the director, this is a serious injury
- No, I'll walk - Walking is not the problem
- Don't do that - Let's talk
- What do we do now? - Hold on a sec
This should be up to the doctor, we can't deter him
We put rocks in the bag and made him carry it
That downhill added more pressure on his knee
We just have to get to the base by nightfall, right?
Why are you being so stubborn?
You can't let him walk, I know how bad knees can get
He's gotta get to the ER
We can give him slight advantage, this is our fault
After he gets treated, some of us will return and walk with him
Then you'll get there by night
It doesn't matter
This is the best way, we'll do it
He's not like anyone else, he thinks his life is depended on this
Sung-chun! Don't come out!
Let's get you treated first, then walk
You'll complete this trek anyway
I've had knee problems, a doctor has to check you out
Your knee'll only get worse if you don't get this treated
Your willpower alone will not solve this problem
Getting treated is the only option here
Get a check-up
This doesn't violate any rules
Why are you being so stubborn?
Let's leave him for now
Get Sung-chun his lunch
Paychecks are few and far between
I tell my folks I do some work
But I end up spending more than I earn
Always been like that
My parents told me just to do nothing
Han Sung-chun (35, unemployed) I want to make one promise to myself
If I complete this trek...
No, let me rephrase that
If I can't complete even this, my life isn't worth a damn
You got determination and goal,
but being stubborn won't do you any good
I'm going
- How much time? - We got enough
Plenty
I'm okay
Let go! Let go!
I'm gonna continue! Let go of me, you shit!
At least have some lunch!
No! Let me go!
- Why are you so stubborn? - Let go
Fine, go! But eat something first!
- Let go! - Don't do this!
Sung-chun, you idiot!
I have to go! Let go of me!
Let me be!
- Let's go together! - Wait for us!
Please, bro, let's go to the hospital first
- Get up, let's go to the hospital - Come on, walk there
Let us help you
You'll become a cripple
It'll only take a bit to get treated
- Calm down - Take it easy
Think this through, how will you get there?
You can still continue after a check-up
This won't help you one bit
Let's get treated and walk from there
We'll take the car and walk from there
- The producer says it's okay - We got permission
You're not breaking any rules, don't be so stubborn
I won't go to the hospital!
- Why not? - I just won't
What if they say I can't continue?
What if they won't let me walk?
But your knee could get worse
Let's go inside the RV and think this through
Come talk to me
Sung-chun has something to say, please gather around
After a long conversation
with the director and producer
I...
decided...
to stop here
I made up my mind
Seung-ha, Seung-ha! It's not your fault
I'm so sorry
It's not your fault, so don't worry
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I apologize for this inconvenience
Sung-chun, let's continue
Come with us, till the end!
We'll come back and continue with you, all of us
I'll see you in Haenam
Han Sung-chun, the idiot
Dad.
I never told you I was going on a cross-country trek
I didn't tell you on purpose
You always saw me giving up
I've been a terrible person
But...
Man, I'm starving
Get over here you shit!
What the hell!
Is this the candid camera? From the beginning?
Just this part or all the way?
Ma'am, could I get my lunch?
How about a low blow?
I'm sorry, terribly sorry
Dammit, I'll smash your knee!
He overacted, but why was I so gullible?
I'm not usually like this
He got me good
He played his role to perfection
I didn't get to finish my lunch
- I really didn't know - Me neither
You know what, he limped his right leg by mistake
He walked with his left leg down the stairs
'That's odd', I thought
But I figured his knee went numb or something
Don't even think about asking for help rest of the way
I love you!
Obvious commercial break
Perfect for outdoor exercise
CJ's Chestnut!
I've forgotten that I've built an image over the past 10 years
I was too tired to think about it while walking 8 hours a day
I've shown very unlady-like manners
I should've been more careful
I could've rested in the car somewhere,
but I'm behaving more like one of the guys
Who am I to blame for looking like a hobo but myself?
I can't ask the crew to not shoot or edit me out
I could be in the background for a crucial shot
Or I could be nearby during an interview
It'd be selfish to ask to cut a shot where I appear in the background
I'm overthinking it since this is coming to a close
I don't know...

Day 1' 8, December 2, 2011' Target distance: 30km Cloudy, 1'0 Cl 3 Z3' I've been spreading rumors
What's going on between Hyo-jin and you
Rather than a star actress,
she was more like a fragile woman to me
So I took care of her more
As leader of the group, I can't look after one person
So I asked you to look after her
After 5 long years of courtship...
...wedding ceremony of Yoo Ji-tae and Kim Hyo-jin has just begun
To Kim Hyo-pn, I really wanted to see you in wedding dress--- ---wedding ceremony of Yoo Ji-tae and Kim Hyo-jin has just begun
'We'll lead a good life', said the groom
Day 1' 9, December 3, 2011' Target distance: 33km Cloudy, 1'2 Cl 3 Z3'
Wonderful sunlight today
My nose is stuffy from a cold, but only one more day to go
I didn't really miss the Seoul life while on this trek
Except burgers, rice cakes and such
I'm worried about the withdrawal
I spent all my waking hours of the last 20 days with them
I'll be all alone again
I was not an actress, but one member of a large team
I have to think about what I take back from this
Letters to the loved ones
We all placed first, we did it together
Tomorrow, we cross the finish line
Completing is important, but I wish I cared more,
led more and made them laugh more
I got to complete this trek because you were beside me
Even during meals, we were together
We limped together the most
But having gone through this ordeal,
I gained more confidence as an actress
Dad, you know that I look up to you the most, right?
You'll be surprised when you watch this, seeing a new side of your son
Thank you for looking after us
My dear son, Do-kyung,
I didn't know that you loved...
playing with toys so much
Dad, you raised me with so much love
And I'm surrounded by people who love me
Thank you
and after some rest, I want to go on this journey again with you
Thank you
I love you, bye
Day 20, December 4, 2011 Target distance: 22km Cloudy, 10 C'/3 C
We're approaching the end of a long battle, how do you feel?
We're in Haenam, but there's nothing here
I expected treasures of some kind,
something precious from my life
But there're only rice fields
This is edge of the land Look at that
Edge of the land! Finally!
Today is day 20
We've been walking for 20 days to get here
This is the edge of our land
We're so close now
I thought I would achieve some kind of enlightenment,
perhaps revelation about myself
But I don't feel any change since day 1
Too short a trip?
We are here, the place we wanted to be
But there was nothing there
No one to give us a medal, no ﬂash serenade, no standing ovation
There's nowhere else to walk
Only those who walked 577km alongside
Front of me, beside me, and behind me
We are surrounded by us
We were there
Have you been well?
Today is April 17, 2012
It's been 5 months since end of our trek
At the time Sung-kyun said,
he expected treasures when we arrived in Haenam
Of course that wasn't the case
But something more important has sprung in my heart
Even more passion and will to live to the fullest
So, I want to go again
Kong Hyo-jin Ha Jung-woo
PROJECT 577
Sung-kyun's son has selected a microphone as his career path
After consulting with rhinoplasty surgeon, Seung-ha decided to live as a snore!
Shin-chul is developing a new relationship
Hyun-woo achieved his target weight, but is suffering from yo-yo effect
Ji-hoon's exhibitionism addiction relapsed
Sung-chun continues to audition for roles
Mr. Ha, don't get sucked into your own over confidence
One at a time
Heard my name before, right?
- Yes - Good
- You all walked here from Seoul? - Yes
What in the world?
Anyone been to Seoul?
Me!
Holy cow, so many!
We're not hicks
- Let's make everyone cry - Okay
I could barely contain myself
It was so hard not to laugh
You were crawling on the floor
See you again?
