“Physical: 100% is a Korean physical competition show on Netflix that draws in fans of intense challenges, sportsmanship, and likable personalities (not to mention its aesthetically pleasing cast). Created by producer Jang Ho-gi, each season brings together 100 contestants from various fields, including bodybuilders, Olympic medalists, fitness influencers, and gym celebrities, to compete in challenging events that test strength, endurance, and teamwork.Who won Seasons 1 and 2?
After several weeks of competition, Woo Jin-yong, a snowboarder and CrossFit champion, emerged victorious among his 99 competitors in the first season, winning the final challenge—the endless rope-pulling competition. At 37, the South Korean took home 300 million won, equivalent to over 220,000 euros. Season 2, which was released in March 2024, introduced new high-level competitors with underground-themed challenges, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. Among the four finalists, Amotti, Dustin Harvey, Andre Jin, and Hong Beom-seok, Amotti triumphed in the third and final round, claiming the coveted title. He also pocketed the 300 million won prize (220,000 euros), which changed his life.Has the show been renewed for a Season 3?
Although Netflix has yet to make an official announcement, the final episode of Season 2 suggests that the show might return, possibly on a larger scale. At the end of Episode 9, a single torso statue remains standing, surrounded by the debris of 99 others, while a voiceover promises: “Our search for the perfect physique… will continue.” This was followed by an animation depicting athletes from various sports such as boxing, martial arts, sumo wrestling, and handball, with the final graphic revealing “Physical: 100 – Asia.” This ending raises questions about the possibility of a spin-off series centered around Asia or an expansion of the format to include contestants from other Asian countries.
