Physical 100 started with 100 people of different backgrounds. Some were famous in their field, like Mma fighter Choo Sung-hoon.
Agent H is a Udt reservist sergeant and a YouTube creator. He faced Soel Ki-kwan in the one-on-one death match, who is a second-degree belt in Judo.
The fight looked like a fair one in terms of weight class. But the trench fight took many turns with Ki-kwan’s technique. Fans were shocked to see the famous Agent H eliminated so quickly.
“I chewed out and beat Agent H, so…I do feel bad,...

One of the well-done aspects of Physical 100 is the set designs and props. A torso sculpture represents each contestant. Here is how the cast made them and prepared their bodies to get a certain look for the Netflix show.

Physical 100 found 100 competitors across different occupations and hobbies to determine which one has the “perfect body.” They all had a plaster torso, and in the pilot, they sat on a podium with their height and weight.
That meant the clothed contestants could size each other up. Some of them showed pride in their sculpture, while others were intimidated by bigger torsos like Kim Kang-min.
Later in the competition, the athletes had to break their torsos...

How did Netflix find 100 competitors for Physical 100? One star explained how she was cast and how surprised she was by the other competitors. Elaine Wong called the show a scam and talked about her fight with YouTuber Shim Eu-ddeum.
Who is Elaine Wong on ‘Physical 100’?
The show has people from different occupations and walks of life competing to show their physical abilities. Elaine stood out for not being a weightlifter, a bodybuilder like married couple Song A-reum and Kim Kang-min, or a member of a national team. Instead, she’s an actor from Singapore.
She previously was on variety shows there, including South Korean Foreigners. The show has 10 foreigners who have lived in Singapore taking a quiz to prove their Korean knowledge. That’s how she was discovered for Physical 100.
Sadly, Elaine didn’t last long in the competition. She couldn’t hang onto the bars for long in the...

Kim Da-young build a bridge on ‘Physical 100’
Episode 5 showed the rest of the teams doing the sand quest. Team Jo Jin-hyeong went up against Team Kwak Myung-sik.
Da-young took the lead on building the bridge. “The opposing team was ahead of us, and I felt insecure,” she said. “But anyway, working in the stunt business, I learned a huge lesson about safety. So even if we lose, we shouldn’t get hurt. I worked very thoroughly.”
The other team finished first and started crossing the bridge. But their boards also fell apart behind them. On the other hand, Jin-hyeong’s team could cross without any problems with their bridge.
In the end, Jin-hyeong’s team won. That meant Da-young, Park Jin-young, Cho Jung-myung...

Netflix’s Physical 100 is a cutthroat game. The cast, full of bodybuilders like Kim Kang-min, Mma fighters, and more, was cut in half through one-on-one matches. But one of them angered fans. Kim Chun-ri addressed those who were mad at Park Hyung-gen for how he held her down to run down the clock.
Kim Chun-ri was surprised when she was picked on ‘Physical 100’
The second episode showed the entire cast rank from one to 100 based on the hanging match. The bigger competitors, like Chun-ri were noticeably in the low rankings therefore, they couldn’t pick who they’d fight in the one-on-one death match.
The higher-ranked cast members were able to pick whomever they wanted. We saw different strategies. Some wanted to fight someone of equal size as them for a fair fight. Other picked someone of a bigger size, assuming they wouldn’t be as fast. There was even...

Unlike Hollywood, France or Japan, Korea isn't known for any particular kind of animation. However, the country is overflowing with animators, and when not being outsourced to foreign productions, they churn out unique local films that each march to the beat of their own drum. Mother Land, a Korean Academy of Film Arts (Kafa) project that marks the feature debut of director Park Jae-beom, is just such a film. While some recent shorts such as Kim Kangmin's Deer Flower have earned awards and acclaim from festivals around the world, this is the first feature-length stop motion film to emerge from the country in quite some time. This gorgeously realized fantasy survival drama takes place on the snow-swept arctic tundra and focuses on a family from...
