Physical 100 Asia: Netflix Reveals International Athletes

On October 24, 2025, Netflix officially announced its highly anticipated new survival competition, “Physical: Asia,” during a global press conference. This new Netflix show expands the globally popular “Physical: 100” universe, gathering legendary international athletes from across the continent for an unprecedented test of strength. Producer Jang HoGi revealed that the series will feature 48 contestants from eight different Asian nations, promising a competition on a scale never seen before.

Team Korea’s ‘Avengers’ Lineup

Representing South Korea is a formidable “Avengers Team” of athletic titans. The press event featured several of these stars, including former skeleton national team gold medalist Yun SungBin and Ssireum champion Kim MinJae. They were joined by Amotti, the celebrated winner of “Physical: 100 Season 2 – Underground,” former national team wrestler Jang EunSil, and four-time CrossFit Games qualifier Choi SeungYeon. The team’s leader, Kim DongHyun, the first Korean fighter to enter the UFC, also joined the conference remotely, underscoring the team’s powerful composition for this intense survival competition.

Producer Jang HoGi’s Vision

Producer Jang HoGi shared his excitement for elevating the series. He explained that “Physical: Asia” will move beyond the original format with larger and more diverse quests. The production team has designed large-scale missions inspired by the cultures of the participating countries. Viewers can anticipate breathtaking challenges set on a giant shipwreck and within a collapsed castle, pushing the international athletes to their absolute limits.

Global Powerhouses Join the Survival Competition

This new Netflix show truly lives up to its name by bringing in legendary international athletes from across Asia. The press conference connected remotely with several of these global competitors. Japan will be represented by Okami Yushin, who holds the record for most wins in UFC Asia. From Thailand, former volleyball player and current actor James Lusamekae will compete. Australia’s contender is none other than former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker. The roster of international athletes also includes traditional Ssireum wrestler Erhembayar Bayarsaikhan from Mongolia, Turkish oil wrestling champion Recep Kara, and Indonesian bodybuilder Egetsu The Executioner. These athletes are part of a larger cast from eight nations, including South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Mongolia, Türkiye, Indonesia, Australia, and the Philippines.

What to Expect from Physical 100 Asia

The upcoming series promises to combine fan-favorite quests, such as the iconic “ball stealing” challenge, with new, culturally rich missions. The show aims not only to find the ultimate physique but also to celebrate the diverse athletic traditions of Asia. This format is set to create a thrilling new chapter in the world of survival shows, similar to the high stakes seen in competitions like Bloody Game Season 3: A Survival Competition of Legends and Newcomers.
