The reason “Physical: 100” Shim Eu DDeum gets criticized after surviving the consolation match

Youtuber Shim Eu Ddeum, who is appearing in Netflix’s hot program “Physical: 100”, is being criticized by netizens.

Episodes 5 and 6 of “Physical: 100” released on February 7th, showed the contestants joining a team competition called “Sand moving fight”.

In this game, the team that piled the most sand within the time limit won. The rules were simple, but the contestants struggled and sweated a lot. In the case of the Australian Tarzan team, Shim Eu Ddeum was seen only opening and holding the bag for her team members. In fact, she didn’t even try to move the sandbags. Perhaps that was why she didn’t look so tired after the game was over. 

25 people who lost in the “Sand moving fight” then participated in a consolation match. 5 people who could hold onto a string attached to a torso that weighs 40% of their own weight the longest would be given the opportunity to revive. After the fierce match, Shim Eu Ddeum, Kim Sang Wook, Lee Joon Myung, Sung Chi Hyun, and Choi Sung Hyuk survived and advanced to the third round.

After watching this scene, Internet users poured out criticism towards Shim Eu DDeum. They commented, “Shim Eu DDeum was advantageous because she didn’t even use energy in the sand game”, “Other girls moved sand but she didn’t”, “Male participants were eliminated because they were already exhausted in the sand game that”, etc. However, some others also defended Shim Eu DDeum, saying “The sand game is a team game, Shim Eu DDeum did her best with her role”, “It was not Shim Eu DDeum’s fault. It was the production team that planned such a game”, etc.
