Netflix Korea on Wednesday confirmed the return of its flagship survival competition show, “Physical: 100,” for a second season.
“Physical: 100,” which premiered in January, caught local and global viewers’ attention as 100 contestants battled it out in intense survival matches for the title of the most physically fit.
It became the first Korean variety show to soar to the No. 1 slot in the platform's global top 10 chart of non-English TV shows.
The nine-part sports entertainment series recorded more than 192 million hours of viewing for six consecutive weeks, beating other Netflix Korean dramas like “Hellbound” (2021), “Juvenile Justice” (2022) and “Money Heist: Korea Joint Economic Area” (2022).
Some participants, such as female wrestler Jang Eun Sil, bodybuilder Kim Chun Ri and choreographer Jeon Young among others, were propelled to fame by their appearance on the show.
“The production team are well aware of the fans’ compliments and criticisms about ‘Physical: 100.’ And we decided to change everything in the second season, except the program’s fundamental goal of finding the strongest physique,” a Netflix press release quoted director Jang Ho Gi as saying.
Jang added that he will invite new talents to compete and aims to develop more exciting, challenging missions with experts.
While it was popular, “Physical: 100” also came under fire over its handling of the final matches.
Olympic cyclist Jung Hae Min the runner-up told a local media outlet that the finals had to be suspended twice and claimed that his request to air the rematches was ignored.
Meanwhile, director Jang explained that the match was stopped twice due to "unexpected incidents," a decision that was eventually agreed upon by the two athletes in the finals. He also claimed that the staff members did not engage in any unfair manipulation to influence the match. Other controversies surrounding the cast also surfaced.
Kim Da Young, a stunt actor, posted an apology on her social media admitting that she said abusive and hurtful words to discipline her junior in middle school. But Kim denied accusations by a purported ex-schoolmate who said that Kim extorted cash from others, took her friends to a karaoke room and physically assaulted them.
A former South Korean rugby national team member was indicted on charges of physical assault against his girlfriend, which he later admitted in the first trial held in April.

Behind the global stardom of K-pop phenomenon Bangtan Sonyeondan is not only remarkable dancing and singing talent, but the genuine music in the bandmates' own words to deliver a message to fans.
In creating its first single album, “2 Cool 4 Skool,” that started the band's journey on June 13, 2013, the bandmates were involved in composing and writing the lyrics based on the principle that hip-hop musicians should speak through their music.
In the debut lead track “No More Dream,” the band from the outset talked about the need to break free from society’s restrictions to achieve one's own dreams and not someone else’s.
The following album, the band's first EP “O!RUL8,2?,” also delivered the message of looking for one's own happiness and life before it’s too late.
Bangtan Sonyeondan continued to expose society for forcing students’ misfortunes by turning them into "studying machines" without giving them time to actually think about their future.
Bangtan Sonyeondan wrapped up its teen-focused series with its second mini album, “Skool Luv Affair,” singing about teenage love.
The album that actually won Bangtan Sonyeondan notice from the public was its third EP, “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life,” with lead track “I Need U,” released in 2015.
In the first part of “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life” series, Bangtan Sonyeondan shows solidarity with those in their 20s simultaneously facing the most fruitful and most insecure time of their lives.
If previous efforts had mostly been produced by the trio of RM, Suga and J-Hope, this album mostly came thanks to Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook’s production.
With the following “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2,” BTS made its first entry into the Billboard 200 chart.
