A Crybaby Boxing Club (2015)

A Crybaby Boxing Club 2015 / 울보 권투부 2015 / ool-bo gwon-too-boo

A right-wing extremist group is demonstrating in front of a Korean school in Tokyo. ‘Leave Japan. There’s no place here for you.’ But, what about the inside of the school? The classrooms are filled with all the usual fuss of high school and the energies of ordinary 16 and 17-year-old boys. In the gym after school, there are the shouts and sweat of the boxing club members, who are spending every day diligently working toward their respective dreams. During the 3rd-year boys’ school-organized excursion, Seung Eung decides to quit boxing. Though Yu Sam and Won Ho tries to dissuade him, he does not participate in the Interhigh competition. The coach Kim Sang Su and other members of the club begin training again for the central competition to be attended by all Tokyo-located Korean schools in Japan. Now, the members prepare to enter society with their dreams—the culmination of three years of youthful devotion. Beyond the fence of the school, they will launch into mainstream Japanese society. They are ready to throw their punches upon discrimination.
