“Should I cut you down to become the greatest in the world?”

Kim Donghu.

No, Musashi’s words made Sasaki flinch.

He wondered if this was truly the aura of a human being.

‘A demon obsessed with the sword.’

All he held was a wooden sword carved from an oar.

Nothing else.

Yet Sasaki felt as if he were facing an army of thousands.

“Does that even matter now?”

Sasaki tried to regain control of the atmosphere with his characteristically relaxed expression, but.

“If it were meaningless, I would have no reason to be here.”

Musashi shattered Sasaki’s composure with his unwavering steps.

“This is the path to determine the strongest, how could it not matter?”

Two armed warriors facing each other.

What use was there for more conversation?

A wooden sword carved from an oar to counter the long sword.

He lightly raised it with one hand, pointing it at Sasaki, who was surprised for a different reason.

‘He’s holding that with one hand? So easily?’

More precisely, Fujino Ren was the one surprised.

Since Kim Donghu said he could definitely lift it, they had focused only on the shape.

The sword weighed about 4kg, and Kim Donghu was holding it with one hand.

No, it was beyond just holding it.

Swoosh.

With complete freedom.

Like writing with a pencil.

He was handling the sword truly like a swordsman of that era.

‘No, perhaps even better.’

Because of this, Fujino Ren was forcibly drawn into Kim Donghu’s world.

All his nerves naturally focused on Kim Donghu to keep up with the tempo.

The lines he had memorized flowed naturally from his mouth.

“Do you enjoy killing and being killed?”

“I value the process. The result doesn’t matter at all.”

Was he talking about the process of becoming the greatest in the world?

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but.

The wooden sword Musashi held high made that impossible.

“Let’s play.”

With those final words.

Whoosh!

Musashi kicked off the ground and flew.

“Gasp!”

Clatter.

Seeing Musashi literally flying toward him, Sasaki was startled and dropped his sword.

“CUT!”

The NG signal came immediately.

“I’m sorry.”

Fujino Ren quickly apologized to everyone around him.

Everyone except Kim Donghu immediately understood the reason for the NG.

“So that was actually possible…”

“Yeah, without any wires too.”

He could really leap from the ground without any wires attached to his back.

And while holding a 4kg sword in one hand, no less.

4kg might not sound like much.

But how could anyone act while holding something like that?

While everyone was praising Kim Donghu’s skills for quite some time.

“Since Musashi wasn’t bound by form, I wonder if he used Tsubamegaeshi too?”

“Pardon?”

Kim Donghu quietly held the wooden sword, contemplating something.

“This is… done like this… right?”

Using both hands, he slashed the sword down diagonally.

Then skillfully turned the blade and slashed upward again.

“?”

“…?”

“?!”

For a moment, the filming set went still.

A weight of about 4kg.

A sword over 90cm long, used to perfectly demonstrate Tsubamegaeshi.

He did that without any CGI? Just with muscle strength and sword sense?

At the endpoint of the downward slash.

Turning the blade to slash upward again.

A sword technique performed at high speed.

It looked simple but was far from it.

First, the length of the sword made it difficult to wield so easily.

And doing it cleanly and quickly was on another level entirely.

Yet an actor had accomplished it?

“…I feel like I came here for nothing.”

The Japanese sword expert invited as a consultant stood with his mouth agape.

They’ve hired an actor better than me, so why am I even here?

Are they mocking me? That’s how perfect Kim Donghu’s swordsmanship was.

And unaware of what everyone was thinking.

“I thought it should be recreated with high quality.”

Kim Donghu’s casually spoken words.

Sounded completely different to everyone on set.

‘Can’t you all do what I’m doing? Keep up.’

Perhaps that’s why.

No one could easily respond to Kim Donghu’s words.

They could only resolve to put everything into this filming.

++++++

Mid-June.

After the long filming of <Musashi> had ended.

“Thank you for all your hard work. We’ll contact you again when the final edit is ready.”

“And then straight to Cannes next year?”

“That’s right. We’re aiming for May 2022.”

“I’ll look forward to it.”

We had our final gathering and parted ways.

Originally, I should have gone straight to filming <Pianist> after this, but.

‘My schedule is empty.’

With <Pianist> Acts 3 and 4 moving to Season 2, my schedule was completely clear.

And there would be no news about <Musashi> until May next year.

Promotion would only happen 1-2 months before anyway.

At this stage, there was really nothing to do.

Jaerin suggested I take a rest, but.

That wasn’t as easy as it sounded.

‘I don’t want to rest.’

Am I a workaholic?

Thinking that, I checked YouTube after a long time.

ㄴDonghu, are you putting yourself in timeout?

ㄴYou didn’t do anything wrong, but you’re taking a 6-month break

ㄴWhen are you uploading? When are you uploading? When are you uploading?

ㄴIthinkI’llgooutforlunchIthinkI’llgooutforlunchIthinkI’llgooutforlunchIthinkI’llgooutforlunch

ㄴDid this person quit YouTube? His recent video has 20 million views…?

ㄴHitting 3.4 million subscribers and abandoning just two videos, is this right?

ㄴFan manipulation is Kim Dong-hu’s specialty

ㄴYou said you’d love us you said you’d love us

ㄴDonghu, give us an update, just seeing occasional SNS photos isn’t enough after tasting YouTube

ㄴAre you filming a movie? A drama? At least give us a daily vlog

“…”

I realized people were waiting for my videos more than I thought.

“I guess I should film something soon.”

What should I film?

While thinking about it.

‘Since I need to gain weight again anyway, why not show my diet?’

I already had a title in mind.

‘Diet vlog for building physique.’

It seemed perfect.

++++++

Early July.

【Kim Donghu – Diet Vlog for Building Physique】

“?”

Subscribers who had set notifications for Kim Donghu’s channel received an unexpected message.

“It’s a Kim Donghu video!”

A new video from Kim Donghu.

It had been so long that people couldn’t even remember when the last one was.

“Why only now!”

Not even wasting time to comment, they immediately started watching.

The first thing they saw was Kim Donghu’s handsome face.

-“Hello. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to show myself for a long time.”

As always, it started with polite Kim Donghu.

And then immediately.

-“Today I want to show you what I eat, how I eat it, and what kind of exercise I do.”

A refreshing introduction to the video topic.

Having previously recorded a 970kg total for the big three lifts.

People had huge expectations for an exercise video.

“Huh?”

But they immediately became confused.

He said it was a diet video, but.

The food being laid out on the table was unusual.

-“First, I’ll lightly eat 100 pieces of sushi.”

Lightly? Does he not understand what “lightly” means?

With such doubts.

Kim Donghu sped up the video and quickly devoured 100 pieces of sushi.

Without any editing process, just speed adjustment.

But it didn’t end there – he continued with protein shakes.

And then started eating a salad saying he was still a bit hungry.

“Did he just put five chicken breasts in there?”

“Wait… is he doing a 10,000 calorie challenge?”

The amount was alarming.

Why would elephants get fat eating only vegetables?

As if to provide an answer to that question.

People were increasingly amazed by Kim Donghu’s appetite.

They knew he ate well, but to this extent?

And the problem was that it didn’t end there.

Like a secret sauce from a master of living.

“I’m currently 80kg, and I was really hungry maintaining this weight. So I’m going back to my original weight.”

The amount of food revealed for gaining about 20kg was beyond imagination.

His digestive system couldn’t be made of steel.

It was puzzling how he could eat like that.

ㄴAt this rate, he could be the #1 mukbang creator?

ㄴJust in terms of meal size, he’s already crushing everyone else

ㄴHe’s already exceeded 10,000 calories in just two meals

But was he only eating?

Not at all.

-“Today I’ll be lightly sparring with my workout partner and master, Director Sangha.”

-“Oh, what’s this? Is this going on YouTube?”

-“Yes, would you like to introduce yourself?”

-“Of course I should. Hello! I’m Paek Sangha! Please watch kindly.”

After a brief introduction.

Scenes of Kim Donghu and Paek Sangha training followed.

Kim Donghu sped up the training footage in case it might be boring, but.

ㄴWatch this at 0.25x speed, they’re training insanely hard

ㄴWow I thought someone flying through the air was fake but it’s real

ㄴPaek Sangha is built like a refrigerator in real life too, but he’s just getting thrown around

ㄴThis is seriously sped up, they must be training for like 4 hours in real time

People slowed down the video to examine all the training footage.

While this video was pure joy for ordinary people.

For those appearing on <Physical 300>.

“…So, that physique is THE physique, right?”

“Is he telling us to prepare properly? If we don’t want to get crushed?”

“This is Kim Donghu warning us first, saying he’ll destroy us if we don’t take it seriously.”

It was taken as an ominous warning.

There was about a year left until the filming of <Physical 300>.
