The winner of “Physical: 100” was almost eliminated 3 times before winning the $230,000 prize money.
The last episode of Netflix’s “Physical: 100”, a survival program called the “real-life Squid Game” was finally released. The winner has been revealed. He is Woo Jin Yong, a CrossFit athlete. The result was somewhat surprising to viewers, because from the beginning Woo Jin Yong did not grab much attention compared to other contestants.
During his journey in “Physical: 100”, Woo Jin Yong has established himself as a strong player, performing well in both individual and team challenges. In the first episode, Woo Jin Yong only appeared for a few seconds. He was not chosen to be a team leader, but joining the MMA fighter Choo Sung Hoon’s team, Woo Jin Yong continuously defeated his opponents to win.
Before entering the final challenge, Woo Jin Yong revealed that he was the first national team athlete for South Korea’s National Snowboarding Team but could not participate in the Olympic Games, because at that time Korea wanted to focus on “more promising sports”. The purpose of Woo Jin Yong participating in “Physical: 100” is to make people pay more attention to snowboarding.
In the final round, Woo Jin Yong was not a perfect player. He had 3 times almost been eliminated from the competition.
In the “5-angle tug-of-war” challenge, he won by almost 2 seconds against a climbing lifeguard, who was eliminated in this mission. Next, in the challenge of “square flip”, a game that requires speed, Woo Jin Yong was still in the top 2 dangerous contestants. He was lucky to win when his opponent was out of strength. In the next challenge, he was considered a strong contender to win but was once again almost eliminated when he slipped and failed to ring the bell according to the rules of the game. Thanks to his perseverance and “never give up” spirit, Woo Jin Yong took the final win, taking home $230,000.
Woo Jin Yong was born in 1986, has a Master’s degree from the Graduate School of Physical Education. He was also a coach of the National Snowboarding Team, holding the position of Chairman of the Korea Snowboarding Committee. Later, Woo Jin Yong became an expert in the field of CrossFit. This is a combination bodybuilding that helps to increase strength to the highest.
