Mi-ran Tracks Down Hyeon-joong as the Gym Faces a Crisis

In Pump Up the Healthy Love Episode 10 Recap, a shocking accusation shakes the gym to its core. A suspicious new client arrives and demands a consultation with Do Hyeon-joong. But before he can cause more trouble, Rosa and Mi-ran discover hidden cameras on him and promptly chase him away. The man hurls accusations that Hyeon-joong is responsible for Kang Sol’s death, launching the episode into a heartbreaking flashback of Sol’s funeral. Hyeon-joong, frozen in grief, is unable to shed a tear as reporters corner him with questions, blaming him for pushing Sol too hard in her workouts. After the funeral, Hyeon-joong disappears.

Mi-ran steps up and persuades the team to give Hyeon-joong space while they keep the gym running 24/7. Determined to protect their space from reporters and irate fans of Sol, everyone chips in. Amidst the chaos, Mi-ran finds herself missing Hyeon-joong deeply. She visits places he once took her to when she was struggling with her fitness journey. Though she tells Ji-ran she’s looking for him because she’s worried, Mi-ran eventually admits it’s because she genuinely misses him.

Rosa Faces a Setback While Alex’s Past Comes to Light

Meanwhile, the gym’s future is at risk. The landlord informs Rosa that he received an offer with double the rent and wants them out. Rosa suspects Roy, after seeing him with the landlord, and lashes out at him, accusing him of undermining Hyeon-joong. At the same time, Alex reveals to Seong-im that Hyeon-joong once saved his life. When Alex overhears students spreading damaging rumors about Hyeon-joong telling Sol to skip chemotherapy, he snaps and dismantles their bicycles in anger.

Elsewhere, Mi-ran spots someone who looks like Hyeon-joong and follows him up ten floors. She discovers he’s working as a deliveryman. Though she pleads with him to return, he refuses. Later, Alex lands at the police station for his outburst, but to everyone’s surprise, his wealthy mother and her lawyer show up. It’s revealed that Alex is from a rich background and even attended medical school.

Ji-ran Reconnects with Dan While Mi-ran Reaches Out Again

With Hyeon-joong refusing to return, some gym members like Seong-im begin to lose patience. Ji-ran, now hospitalized with pancreatitis, is visited by Dan. He explains their breakup: he was called to serve as a public service worker and feared she couldn’t handle the distance. Mi-ran, determined to see Hyeon-joong again, places repeated delivery orders until he finally appears. She brings him spicy tteokbokki, and they share a moment of levity. Mi-ran gently reassures him that Sol’s death was not his fault.

A YouTube Video Sparks Hyeon-joong’s Return

Soon after, a surprising YouTube video surfaces. Instead of an exposé, it’s a heartfelt tribute featuring gym members defending Hyeon-joong. Alex shares a deeply personal story—how Hyeon-joong helped him out of a suicidal spiral after his failed medical career, ultimately saving his life. Overcome with emotion, Hyeon-joong returns to the gym, receiving a warm welcome.

But new trouble brews. The landlord introduces the new buyer—Alex’s own mother. She’s purchasing the property to push Alex back into a prestigious career. Alex tries to convince her that he’s happy where he is, but she remains unmoved.

Moments of Clarity and Confession

Meanwhile, Ji-ran visits Dan at his post, demanding to know why he didn’t trust her enough to face the long-distance challenge. When he stays silent, she walks away heartbroken. Rosa makes peace with Roy after learning that Hyeon-joong had asked him to check on the gym during his absence.

At the end of Pump Up the Healthy Love Episode 10 Recap, Hyeon-joong moves back into the gym. He smiles at a phone notification and finds Mi-ran outside with tteokbokki. When the three gym aunties appear, Mi-ran pulls him into an alley to hide the food. They end up pressed close together. Even after the women walk away, Hyeon-joong tells her they’re still nearby—just to stay close a little longer. For more recap, check out the link below
