Physical 100

Netflix’s Physical 100 invites one hundred contestants in peak physical shape to compete in a series of grueling challenges. The winner will be crowned champion, claim honor and win a crash prize for being the last one standing.

Physical 100 is the first Korean survival reality show to air on the streaming site Netflix, and some have hailed it as a real-life Squid Game. The survival show sees both male and female contestants across difference countries competing for the top prize. It offers a different take on reality shows compared to the dating programs that have become popular on television in recent years.

The contestants taking part include wrestlers, athletes, popular fitness trainers and even Olympic gymnasts. Others have backgrounds that are less focused around fitness, with the likes of TV personalities, dancers and even YouTubers trying to get to the final. Some of the stars facing the challenges in the arena are recognized celebrities from the Korean peninsula, or popular on social media.

Fans will watch from the comfort of their own homes as they push their body and minds to the ultimate limit. Each challenge is planned to show who can withstand the extreme pressure.

The Physical 100 are motivated by becoming the last one standing, and nabbing the cash prize of 300 million KRW – which is around $240,000. Not only that, but contestants are tested on their fitness, strength and physique – irrespective of age, gender, race and profession.

Who will make it to the end to become champion and win the cash prize?
