Physical: 100 (2023) s01e01 Episode Script

The human body does not lie.
This is the history of suffering
written by each contestant…
…and this is also where it leads to.
Across the world, there are many
different humans and body shapes.
So we asked ourselves…
…"Who has the perfect body?"
100 bodies will compete…
-Hang on!
-Hang on!
…to survive in extreme conditions.
It won't stop
until someone drops dead.
Only the most tenacious will win,
we know that.
We could kill if we were asked to.
In the end,
only one body will remain standing.
All the monsters are here.
They've all gathered here.
I came to win,
and I'll be number one.
It's beast versus beast.
It's really dangerous.
The throat. Go for the throat.
Our genders, specialties,
and weight classes are all different.
Take it! Take it!
"It's okay to kill."
I can crush everyone.
You never know
until you enter the arena.
Starting now,
we will search for the answer.
PHYSICAL: 100
EPISODE 1: THE PECKING ORDER
This is so cool.
Hello. For 21 years,
I've been a professional gymnast,
and my name is Yang Hak-seon.
I won gold
at the 2010 Asia Championship
and gold at the London Olympic Games.
When it comes to my physique,
I'd say I'm at the top of the group
at things like free gymnastics.
When I entered, I was the only one there
and it felt a little strange.
Oh, mine's here.
Damn.
Looking good.
Wow.
Whoa.
-Oh, hello.
-Hello.
-I'm gymnast Yang Hak-seon.
-Gosh, what an honor.
-Nice to meet you.
-Are we supposed to find our own?
Yes, I found mine.
It's right here.
Ah.
Hello.
I served in the special forces
for over 11 years.
I was the first Korean
to win the World Firefighter Games.
I heard the fittest people in Korea
were getting together.
I wanted to show people
how strong and reliable
Korea's special forces
and firefighters are.
What's all this?
Awesome.
Wow.
I'm a natural bodybuilder.
I'm Ma Sun-ho, the King,
and I hold the most
domestic competition wins.
MA SUN-HO, BODYBUILDER
I felt overwhelmed.
There were so many
fit-looking torso casts,
and seeing them all intimidated me.
It was also fun to look around.
Everyone looks so fit.
Hey, aren't you on the national team?
Hi, nice to meet you.
How are you?
Hi. Nice to meet you. Hello.
I'm Agent H, Hwang Ji-hun,
and I served as a sniper with the UDT,
under the Korean Navy's
Special Warfare Flotilla.
AGENT H, UDT RESERVIS
When I first came in,
all the torsos made me think
of a Greek temple,
and it was grand and imposing.
I thought,
"The production team went all out."
Hey, you're here.
Hello. Oh, dang.
-There are so many.
-Yes, there are lots.
Hello.
I am Kim Ye-hyun, I'm an ex-fencer.
I think I'm a pretty fit athlete,
and after I heard
other fit people were gathering,
I came on to win first place.
BANG SEONG-HYEOK, TRAINER
-Hello.
-Oh, nice to meet you.
-Hi.
-Wow, you're The King.
Not really. You have a great body.
Not at all. Not at all.
Your upper arm is as big
as my face is wide.
-Oh, yeah. Well, I guess.
-Your arm.
Thank you.
Hello, hello. You can speak English?
How are you all?
Hello, I've lived in Korea
for four years now.
And I look like an ordinary German,
but in my heart hides a real Korean.
My name is Florian. Nice to meet you.
Not only am I a fitness model,
but I'm also a TV personality.
My life's motto is "my body."
So after I heard about Physical: 100,
I want to try out a new challenge.
Hello. Hey.
You must be on the national team.
-Oh, yes. I'm Yang Hak-seon.
-Nice to meet you.
Yeah. Wow, your abs!
Wow. Gosh. Looks awesome.
-Hello.
-Oh, nice to meet you.
-Hello.
-Hello.
You're really tall.
I'm Kim Eun-ji,
a competitive fitness model
and fitness trainer.
What I'm looking to see is
if there are any women
with prettier bodies than mine.
Is there anyone with a body
prettier than mine?
What kind of place is this?
Whoa.
-Hello.
-Hello.
I was a little surprised.
As a woman, I was really impressed.
Ms. Chun-ri. How are you?
Hello, I'm Kim Chun-ri,
and I've been a bodybuilder for 17 years.
I thought it would be a waste
to not enter with my physique,
so I got interested
and decided to participate.
Wow, it's fascinating to see it like this.
-Hey, this is your sculpture?
-Oh, hello. This is my body.
Wow, your body is, in itself, a sculpture.
Your thighs. I'm lost for words.
What's going on over there?
One, two, three.
-One, two.
-One, two.
-I heard something snap.
-Three.
Okay, you pass for now.
How cool.
It's different to see them like this.
Wow.
-Hello.
-Wow. What a figure.
Hello.
-You have an amazing figure.
-Oh, me?
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
Anyone can tell you're an athlete.
I'm a sportsperson, yes.
Hello. I am female wrestler Jang Eun-sil.
I've been a wrestler
for seven years now,
and I do CrossFit and ssireum as a hobby.
I did nothing but work out
for over 20 years,
and I decided to join the program
to show my physical abilities.
Oh. There it is. "Jang Eun-sil."
Wow, so this is me.
My belly. Wow.
It came out nice.
Originally, uhm…
I'm a wrestler.
Wrestling.
A female wrestler.
You could pick up
and fling everyone around.
Just a bit, not too much.
Okay, you came prepared
to beat everyone up.
Oh, hey, nice to meet you.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Are you partners? A couple?
-No, we're brother and sister.
-Siblings.
-Brother and sister. Siblings.
Where are you from?

Hi.
Hello.
Oh, hi.
-Oh, I watched you a lot.
-I watched you a lot, too.
-Whoa.
-You look beautiful.
-Hello.
-Thank you.
Go on in.
He stands out too much.
Is this everyone here? All 100 of us?
-Who is he?
-That's BBULKUP.
-BBULKUP?
-Yes.
He was doing fitness
but then, uh,
he became an influencer
and he has a YouTube channel.
I believe he owns a business too.
I'm screwed. This place is freaking big.
Hey, there's a camera?
BBULKUP, FOOD SERVICE CEO
Ooh…
-Eu-ddeum.
-Huh?
Nice to meet you.
-Your name is…
-I'm BBULKUP.
B… BBULKUP? BBULKUP?
When I was younger,
I saw you in lots of magazines.
Hello.
I'm Shim Eu-ddeum.
I'm an exercise YouTuber
with 1.21 million subscribers.
I'm ambitious when it comes to exercising
or doing something physical.
Because my self-esteem is at 100,
I also want to give a perfect score
to my confidence in my body.
-Oh, hey, Eu-ddeum.
-Hello.
-Eu-ddeum, wow.
-Yes. Hi, H.

I saw you over there.
I'm a fan.
TARZAN, TRAVEL YOUTUBER
Isn't this the place?
-Tarzan's here.
-Wow.
Hey, you're here. Tarzan's here too.
Hey, you stripped already.
You took off your clothes.
-Hey, we're…
-You stripped already?
-That's crazy.
-Why is everyone so fit?
SON HEE-DONG, WRESTLER
SON HEE-CHAN, SSIREUM WRESTLER

a sergeant first class reservist.
My name is Kkang Mi.
KKANG MI, 707TH SMG RESERVIS
Yet another comrade. How are you?

Everyone else seems to know
someone else here.

Hello.
Yang Hak-seon, wow.
National team athletes,
weightlifters, bodybuilders,
they're all here.
The cream of the crop in Korea.
Hello.
-Hello.

have been for 17 years.
I work at

Oh, I'm too scared to look.

-I want to go home.
-Mommy.
-I'm scared.
Wow, look at his body.
It's no joke.
I'm pretty big
where I come from,
but I wasn't big after all.
There were so many bigger people.
I was so surprised.
Look at his forearm.
His forearm is
the size of my face.
He has killer forearms.
Whoa.
Hello.
-Oh, JJANG JAE.
-Oh, how are you?
Hello, I'm JJANG JAE the E-Tool.
Nice to meet you.
Hello. Hi.
CHA HYUN-SEUNG, DANCER
-Hello. Hi. Hello.
-Oh.
Oh. Yes.
Yesterday, uh, yesterday,
I saw him on a dancing show.
He's a dancer and yes, that's him.
-Everyone's here.
-Yes, everyone's here.
Gosh. There are all sorts of people.
This is beyond my expectations.
Hello.
Huh, who's she?
-Oh, hey.
-She's like a fairy.
Let's survive. Let's stay for a long time.
Hello.
-You're a cheerleader, aren't you?
-Oh, yes.
Hello.
Uh, my name is Jo Yeon-joo.
I'm a 24-year-old cheerleader.
I started on September 15, 2017,
and I've been cheerleading
for almost six years now.
Cheerleaders have
great physicality and movement
because they're always jumping
and doing somersaults.
-Cheerleading.
-You're here to cheer us on.
-Wow, Ms. Chun-ri.
-She's just…
Biceps, triceps.
-Hello. It's nice to meet you.
-Hello.
Hello. Bling bling.
Oh, I'm glad I came on.
Hello.
ELAINE, ACTRESS
I'm ELAINE,
an actor from Singapore.
As soon as I went in,
I noticed the glances.
"What is she doing here? What is she?"
I got that impression.
I thought, actually I, uh,
"Should I not be here? This is bad."
Oh, hang on.
Uh, hello.
I don't do love triangles.
Am I the only one who thought
this was a dating show?
Hello!
-Hello!
-Oh, my gosh.
Who's that?
Oh, I'm screwed.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Ha Je-yong,
the strongest man in Korea.
Nice to meet you.
He's so freaking funny.
PARK HYUNG-GEUN, MMA FIGHTER
Whoa, what's he wearing?
I bet he's strong
but not a good fighter.
Who's that?
He won an arm-wrestling competition.
For over ten years,
I represented Korea
in open-weight arm-wrestling competitions,
and currently, as a power-lifter,
I hold the Korean bench-press record.
Soon, I will break the world record.
My name is Ha Je-yong.
-Hello.
-Hello.
SONG A-REUM, KIM KANG-MIN,
BODYBUILDERS
No way, what is this?
Is he a human being?
Wow, shoot.
I saw him on YouTube yesterday.
Me too.
I watched him this morning.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
Kim Kang-min?
He's famous on social media
among competing athletes,
and has lots of fans.
-Hello.
-Hello.
We're a married
bodybuilding couple of the same age.
-I'm Kim Kang-min and…
-Song A-reum.
We've been married for,
uh, six years.
We have a six-year-old daughter.
Oh, here I am.
I saw the back
and recognized it right away.
This is mine.
Compared to the others,
my torso looks much better taken care of.
Oh, my god.
Does he push
1,000kg or something?
Yeah, I should compete again
in my next lifetime.
This lifetime's already, whoa…
We must be the only married couple.
We're the only couple.
Hello.
Oh.
PARK MIN-JI, LEE DA-HYEON
SSIREUM WRESTLERS
Wow. Whoa. Hello.
I'm the first female
ssireum wrestler to win a grand slam
and I play for Geoje City.
My name is Lee Da-hyeon.
Oh.
Oh, I look too arrogant.
Hello, I'm the goddess on the sand,
Park Min-ji.
When I say I play ssireum,
most people go, "What?"
But I love sports so much,
so I think I might get really fired up
with the competitive spirit.
Whoa.
Hello.
SEOL KI-KWAN,
NATIONAL TEAM BODYBUILDER
I'm a bit of a show-off.
-Hello.
-Hello.
KANG HAN,
NATIONAL TEAM BOBSLEIGH ATHLETE
KIM SIK,
NATIONAL TEAM SKELETON COACH
Nice to meet you.
-Hello. Hello.
-Hello.
-Wow.
-Hello.
JEONG BO-KYEONG,
NATIONAL TEAM JUDO PLAYER
Hello.
NAM KYUNG-JIN, NATIONAL TEAM WRESTLER
Isn't this the Olympic Games?
It's almost like the Olympic Games.
Everyone who works out is here,
from all over Korea.
This should be fun.
-Whoa.
-Awesome. Wow.
Oh! It's him! It's him! It's him!
Wow!
MIRACLE, DANCER
Choo Sung-hoon came in
and he had so much charisma.
I was startled, like, "Oh, he's here?"
Whoa! Choo Sung-hoon is here?
Whoa! This is madness.
I was in awe. I was in
the same space as someone like him.
I felt like a fan
whose wish had come true.
I saw a name
that didn't feel like it belonged here.
Was it wrong of me to come here?
Choo Sung-hoon. I'm lost for…
What are they gonna do
that they needed to bring him here?
I'm at ONE Championship.
I'm an MMA fighter, Choo Sung-hoon.
I started judo at three or four
and trained until I was 30.
After that, I did MMA for 17 years.
I compete with younger people, too.
I want to show people
that even at this age,
there's a way to beat young people.
Don't underestimate this middle-aged guy.
-I'd like to say hi. Hello.
-Hi.
When would you ever
get to shake his hand? I'm a fan too.
You end up going over,
you know. You can't help it.
-Hello, I'm OVAN.
-Yeah. Oh, I see.
-Hello.
-Gosh.
Gosh.
-Hello. Amazing.
-Oh, yeah.
-I'm a fan.
-Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
I shook his hand. It's crazy calloused.
His hand is so tough. Seriously, the skin.
I could feel sort of
an intimidating chi coming off of him.
There are so many
strong people here.
Hello. Hello.
Boxing. The pro-boxing champion.
Choi Hyun-mi,
the woman ranked number one in the world.
-Ah. Boxing number one, right?
-Best in the world,
among female boxers.
I'm the current
WBA Super Featherweight World Champion.
My current record is 18 wins…
one tie…
and zero losses.
I haven't lost yet
and I don't plan to in the future.
Wow.
You look nice together.
You make a nice couple.
-Hey, it's Caro.
-Hello.
-Hello. Hello.
-Whoa.
There's a CrossFit YouTuber
called Caro
and he has a beautiful physique.
I'd wish for nothing
if I had a body like his.
To be honest,
if I were all stripped naked,
I'd be close to perfect
from the neck down.
That's the truth.
Wow, he has such a nice shape.
You're here?
Hello.
From the human standard
that I know off,
considering strength and aesthetics,
Korean Hercules, Yong-seung,
is the strongest
and he has the greatest body.
Oh. Wow.
How do you get it
to look like that?
Wow, just look
at those ripped muscles.
Killer muscles.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Nice to meet you.
-Hello.
-Oh. Hello.
A student? What? What do we do?
A student?
A student came here instead
of going to school.
I think
he must have something special.
He's wearing a school uniform.
There might be something
-under that uniform.
-Yes, yes.
Now, I really don't know
what the competition will be.
-How old are you?
-I'm 18 years old.
Oh, really?
What sport do you do?
-I do taekwondo.
-Oh, taekwondo.
Are you on the national team
by any chance?
Yes,
I'm on the national team.
Oh, are you? There's no way
you're here for no reason.
I'm 18, I'm part of
the national taekwondo team.
Free sparring competitor, Kim Byeong-jin.
I came first
in the national team selection process
at this year's taekwondo
free sparring World Championship.
I came first in pairs.
I'll show you how fearsome
us teens can be.
Hello. Hello.
WOO JIN-YONG, CROSSFITTER
HWANG BIT-YEO-UL, CROSSFITTER
KWAK MYUNG-SIK, CROSSFITTER
Oh. Hwang Bit-yeo-ul. They're all here.
-Hello.
-Hello, it's nice to meet you all.
-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
Hello.
KIM MIN-CHEOL, MOUNTAIN RESCUE
Whoa.
Oh, my gosh, my goodness. Oh, my gosh.
Who is this guy?
His arms are all twisted. That's crazy.
That's out of this world.
Hello. I'm Jeon Young, the leader
of Korea's first bone-breaking team.
I designed the choreography
for Kingdom, seasons one and two,
and for Hellbound,
I designed the choreography
and worked on the motion capture.
That's the kind of thing I do.
Ms. Chun-ri.
Oh. Hello. Hello.
Wow!
The Doosan legend.
Nippert the baseball player
is here. Just wow.
He looks like he's at least
two meters tall.
203cm. The 203cm we saw before.
Hello. I'm Dustin Nippert.
2002, Arizona Diamondbacks,
uh, Major League Baseball Draft.
In 2011, I came to Korea
and to KBO Doosan Bears.
KBO TOTAL 1,000 STRIKEOUTS,
NO. 40 NIPPER
Hey, you can't put the tallest guy
next to the shortest guy.
What?
Is he here too?
-You didn't know?
-What, he's here?
-I think so. Look over there.
-I thought you two would know.
I asked and he said he wouldn't appear.
-Oh, really?
-Yes. This is crazy.
Oh? He's coming too?
He really has a great body.
He's good.
His muscles are so taut.
During my interview, the person I said
I feared the most was that guy.
-Oh, he's coming.
-Yes, I mean…
Bet he has the best physique.
I'm not sure if he'll come on.
But he's at that level
you can't catch up to,
even with great effort.
To put it in one word, all you can say
is that he's really a monster.
Oh, he must be
the 100th to enter.
Number 100, the ending.
The ending.
Where will he come in from?
The last national team athlete.
-Hello.
-Whoa.
It looked like
a beast was walking in.
It felt like I had come across
a tiger on the mountain.
I don't know why, but it was powerful.
The look in his eyes.
Where's mine?
His shirt might rip.
Hello, I'm Yun Sung-bin,
I'm an ex-skeleton player.
I won gold at
the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games.
Olympic athletes rarely get a chance
to show themselves off to the public
or share about themselves.
Our only chance is the Olympic Games,
which happen every four years.
So in many cases,
we're forgotten too soon.
I came on this show
because I wanted to show myself.
What a build.
His sculpture
can't even mimic his body.
Everyone here
is way beyond my imagination.
Welcome to Physical: 100.
Starting now, you will compete in games
according to the rules here.
Your uniforms are under your torsos.
Please start changing into them now.
Wow. I have to compete
with these people?
This is crazy.
All these famous people,
like, athletic people,
came together to compete for real.
It literally is Physical: 100.
People with various physiques
will get to compete
and I thought it would be fun.
The game is kicking off at last.
It felt real then,
so I got a little tense.
We will begin the games now.
I wish you luck.
PHYSICAL: 100
Whoa. It's beginning for real.
Oh, I'm so curious. Let's go!
-It opened.
-Wow, this is insane.
The door to heaven has opened.
Let's go.
What's this? I'm scared.
Oh, this is gonna be fun.
Wow.
Wait, there are numbers.
Wow. This is insane.
Oh, my god.
The numbers give
an ominous feeling.
I got the feeling
it would be like Squid Game.
Wow. This is an incredible setup.
Wow. A place like this exists?
What games will we play?
I got excited.
It's beginning at last.
What on earth will they do
with these people?
At last, it's time to show
what I have prepared.
I'll keep going until I die.
Wow, it's so much fun already.
This won't fall out, will it? The floor.
The floor?
You watch way too many movies.
Too many. The floor?
I can't guess
what they'll make us do.
Feels ominous. What will we do?
Wow. What is this?
100 contestants, welcome.
Wow.
To study
the most perfect physique,
regardless of gender,
age and race,
we invited you all here.
We have prepared five quests,
to find the most perfect physique.
The one to last to the end,
the final physique standing
will win 300 million won.
300 million won.
300 million won?
I wasn't expecting
300 million won.
I have to go all in.
Wow, 300 million won is wild.
It's an amount
I'd like to get my hands on.
I got chills.
300 million won
is worth betting your life for.
I should have exercised harder.
I really need to give my all.
300 million in cash?
That's awesome.
I'm gonna make it mine.
I'm gonna give it my all without regrets.
Then, we shall begin
the first quest.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
The survival rate
of the first quest…
is 50 percent.
Wow!
-Half of us will fail?
-Shit.
Isn't that too extreme?
-Are you kidding me? Are you joking?
-What?
But before we get to that,
there is a pre-quest mission
you must go through.
The rule is very simple.
Hang from a structure.
Hang from a structure.
Hang from a structure, the longest.
Wow, we're supposed
to hang from that?
-Where's the structure?
-I knew it.
We have to hang on?
Yes, hang from it the longest.
I was very flustered.
I had a bad feeling about it.
I weigh quite a lot.
Should I lose some weight?
Hanging is something
I'm more confident at.
I should win.
I currently compete
as an ice climber,
so I was confident
that I would most likely win.
Hang with the power of both arms
as long as you can.
Wow.
How am I supposed to do this?
The one who lasts the longest…
will receive a powerful privilege
that will give them an advantage
in their survival.
We're not dropped right away.
The one who lasts the longest gets
a privilege that'll help their survival.
They'll give a privilege, so I thought,
"Oh, I need to hang on."
I'll do everything in my power
for a benefit.
Regardless of gender,
we need to fight with all we've got.
Oh, I'll win. No matter what.
You are standing
on a number of your choice.
You will be divided into two groups
for the game,
according to the numbers.
Now, prepare yourselves.
QUEST: 0
GROUP 1
-I'm nervous.
-Me too.
I'm getting nervous.
Whoa, we have to hang on to that?
I don't think it'll be easy.
For the first time,
we get to see each other's capabilities
and I was panicking a little,
because the quest was something
I wasn't good at.
Yang Hak-seon is a gymnast.
I thought of course
he'd have an upper hand in this.
How should we hold on?
It depends on where we are
when the thing comes down.
-I did this.
-Oh, like this?
Yes, cling on like this
and droop downward.
-Just droop and relax your body?
-Relax.
Relax and droop.
Hanging is something
I'm confident at,
so I was feeling good for once.
Choo Sung-hoon was in my group.
So I thought, "Oh, let's just beat him."
When it comes to gripping strength,
I trained in judo,
so I'm somewhat confident about that.
So I think I could be in the top ten,
or something like that.
It's okay to hang with the bar
under your arms.
We can use our armpits?
-That's much better.
-Oh, if you go like this?
Yeah, it's much better.
The first group of contestants
for the Physical: 100 pre-quest mission
will begin the game now.
Oh, it's coming.
-It's coming down.
-Will I be okay?
-Oh, I'm sweating.
-It's coming. It's coming.
This is tense. So tense.
Good luck! Good luck!
Good luck!
-Good luck!
-Good luck!
Good luck!
I got goosebumps
when I saw the bars above my head.
My mind was racing
with all kinds of thoughts.
How should I hang from this?
I didn't feel nervous.
I didn't think much about it.
I just thought, "Let's try and hang on."
The thing is, this isn't the main game,
so I felt torn.
Should I give this my all,
or should I save some energy?
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
This is tough.
It's going up?
Come on, this is insane.
Wow, shoot. What is this?
It's going up.
Wow.
Shoot. There's water.
When the floor opened up,
there was a thick fog.
So we couldn't judge the depth.
it was so scary.
Won't you actually die
if you fall in?
I felt the kind of fear I felt
when I watched Squid Game.
It was really dizzying.
What? I have to survive this?
Oh, shit.
Oh, I didn't curse.
Oh, this is what you have to do.
Wow. This is no joke.
Come on. Let's do this!
Oh, no.
Let's do this!
Oh, no. What…
What was that?
Someone fell in already?
JEON YOUNG, MOVIE CHOREOGRAPHER
GROUP 1, 50TH PLACE
He dropped
as soon as we went up.
"You should last
at least ten seconds," I thought.
He fell off even when
there's a benefit if you win,
so this was clearly not his forte.
I can't hang on.
Whoa, they're falling in.
JO JIN-HYEONG, CAR DEALER
GROUP 1, 49TH PLACE
I couldn't manage.
I'd given up, but it hurt my pride,
to be honest.
I come first in
the strongest man competition, and yet,
wow, I wonder if
I shouldn't have entered this at all.
JUNG HAE-MIN, CYCLIS
I hadn't hung from anything
since elementary school,
so I wasn't confident.
But I thought I'd still give my best.
Hey, this is really hard.
They don't teach this at the gym.
I'm done for.
LEE SO-YOUNG,
54-YEAR-OLD FITNESS MODEL
GROUP 1, 46TH PLACE
KIM EUN-JI,
COMPETITIVE FITNESS MODEL
GROUP 1, 45TH PLACE
I thought I just
couldn't fail the first quest.
I had to keep hanging on.
AN DA-JEONG, BODYBUILDER
HWANG BIT-YEO-UL, CROSSFITTER
Wow. I think I'm getting cramps.
Gosh, my blood's not circulating.
JUNG HAE-MIN, CYCLIST,
GROUP 1, 42ND PLACE
Shoot.
CHO JUNG-MYUNG,
NATIONAL TEAM LUGER
GROUP 1, 41ST PLACE
I just couldn't do it. I was too heavy,
I couldn't endure my own weight.
-I fell so early on.
-I couldn't do it.
Not this. Lighter people
are bound to win this one.
YANG HAK-SEON,
NATIONAL TEAM GYMNAST, 53KG
-Why do you look so relaxed?
-I'm tired. So tired.
Keep going!
Keep going!
Keep going!
Wow, I'd feel so embarrassed
if I fail now. I should give it my all.
Hey, it's getting slippery.
No. You've got this!
No.
No, shoot.
No, shoot.
FLORIAN, MODEL, GROUP 1, 33RD PLACE
KIM JI-HAN, VOLLEYBALL PLAYER
GROUP 1, 32ND PLACE
They don't teach this at gyms.
Good luck!
Good luck!
AN DA-JEONG, BODYBUILDER
GROUP 1, 30TH PLACE
Oh, gosh. Da-jeong, well done.
-Wow, it's so scary.
-Keep going!
Wow, it's no joke.
Hold on!
-Good luck! Good luck!
-She's hanging in there.
Shit!
Shit!
JANG EUN-SIL, NATIONAL TEAM WRESTLER
GROUP 1, 28TH PLACE
What? It's humiliating.
The others are so good.
It's crazy.
You can do it!
CHOO SUNG-HOON, MMA FIGHTER
GROUP 1, 27TH PLACE
I fell much sooner than I thought so,
I'm not very pleased.
I thought I tried hard.
21!
20!
19!
Look at the wrestler.
He's amazing.
Wow, that wrestler's doing well.
He looks heavy but he's holding on.
Yes, he's enduring it.
Keep going!
Won't his shoulder dislocate
if he does that?
I know.
Because I'm heavier,
I did think I'd be at a disadvantage.
But I wanted to win this fight
against myself.
He was hanging by just one arm,
and I thought
I should avoid him at all costs.
He was withstanding
his own body weight,
it's really impressive.
You're doing well!
Let's get it!
My arm cramped up.
16 left. Go, wrestlers! Go Kyung-jin!
Hang in there! Don't fall!
Yeah, well done.
NAM KYUNG-JIN, NATIONAL TEAM WRESTLER
GROUP 1, 15TH PLACE
There'd been talk
about a privilege you gain,
so I thought, "Wow, I was in trouble."
I didn't feel that great.
You're doing great!
Yang Hak-seon looks relaxed. So relaxed.
Yang Hak-seon is asleep.
What? No, no, no.
Keep going!
HWANG BIT-YEO-UL, CROSSFITTER
Hwang Bit-yeo-ul
was in front of me.
I hung in as long as I could because
I wanted to be the last woman standing.
I didn't want to fail.
I had to show them.
-Ah, so amazing.
-The women are really impressive.
You're doing great! Hang in there!
JOO DONG-JO, MMA FIGHTER
GROUP 1, 12TH PLACE
Ladies!
Keep going!
LEE YE-JI, MMA FIGHTER,
GROUP 1, 11TH PLACE
-You did well.
-Oh, well done!
A woman.
Wow, she lasted this long?
-Wow.
-That's amazing.
-There's only one woman left.
-She seems in her element.
Am I the only woman left?
I wanted to come
in the top five of my group.
I thought I'd just hang on and then
use the privilege as best as I can.
My arms.
I propped myself up,
and my armpits became sore.
I had to work through the pain.
I thought this was going to be hard.
HONG BEOM-SEOK, EX-FIREFIGHTER
GROUP 1, 9TH PLACE
I should have gotten in the top five.
I felt like this was
a bad way to start off.
-Oh, the foreigner's doing well.
-Miracle, hang in there!
Miracle! Fight it!
Miracle, come on!
Six more, you can do it!
I'm afraid of deep water.
So that's why I tried even harder.
I can do it.
Keep going!
Grab it.
Oh, he does pole dancing
and CrossFit.
Yes, that's right.
Doesn't the gymnast look
too relaxed?
Yeah. Seriously.
He could be even reading
a book in that state.
He's even making
a V with his fingers.
It was much harder
than I thought.
But everyone else said
the gymnast would win this,
so I went, "Oh, I might as well win."
Wow, that guy at the end
looks too at ease.
Kyeong-baek, nice.
Hey, you can totally do this.
Wow.
Who is this guy?
He's my instructor, Kim Kyeong-baek.
My UDT senior and ex-drill instructor.
No way.
In our actual training,
we need to hang from things
in many situations.
I thought I could land somewhere
in the top tier.
Miracle!
Are you gonna give up?
Don't give up, man!
MIRACLE, DANCER, GROUP 1, 6TH PLACE
-You did amazing.
-Well done. Well done.
Nice, nice. Good one! Well done.
Good job, man.
Fight! Fight!
Wow.
I wanted to stay
as long as I could, but
Yang Hak-seon was close by
and he was on another level.
He just looked so at ease.
So I stayed as long as I could, and…
SEOL KI-KWAN, NATIONAL BODYBUILDER
GROUP 1, 5TH PLACE
Top five.
Congratulations.
-Keep going!
-Bit-yeo-ul!
Three to go.
-Three.
-Three?
Stay up there.
Stay.
Ah, I'm dying.
Go down.
There was a woman in front of me,
and she hung in there and didn't fall.
I used all my willpower.
That woman is amazing. Who is she?
-What sport does she do?
-CrossFit.
-Hang in there. Hang in there.
-Oh.
Should I just give up?
There are four left. Four.
-Just four! Four people.
-You're doing well!
You're doing well!
Should I stay a little longer?
Oh, he's feeling it.
He's feeling it.
Keep going!
-Three people! Three people!
-Wow, it's him.
-Oh, dang.
-Wow. So cool. So cool.
Can I come down now?
No, no!
I can't do it!
I can't do it!
HWANG BIT-YEO-UL, CROSSFITTER
GROUP 1, 3RD PLACE
She's the ace.
Wow, that was amazing. Amazing.
Bit-yeo-ul, well done!
God, that was so hard.
Are your arms okay?
I can't feel my arms.
I felt proud, actually.
I was the longest-lasting woman,
and I think I showed
that women are just as strong as men.
I think I did pretty well.
-Keep going!
-He's glaring. Glaring at…
You're a legend! Stay! Stay!
Gosh, they're amazing.
Just amazing.
Go, gymnastics legend.
Hang in there! Hang in there!
Go, Yang Hak-seon!
I've hung off things
for 21 years,
so I need to win at all costs.
If I lose here, all the gymnasts
nationwide will berate me.
I trained with
the UDT for 15 years,
and there were many situations
where we had to hang from things,
so I think I was very confident.
UDT! Go, UDT!
UDT, go get it!
-You're almost there.
-Last stretch. Last stretch.
Wow, a UDT soldier
and an Olympic gold medalist.
Go, go.
It's the last stretch. Last stretch.
That's his everyday life
right there. It's what he does.
You're almost there!
Almost there!
No, no, no!
No!
No! Stay! Stay!
Keep going! Keep going!
Nice, nice, you look stable.
I was up there a while,
and my arms got cramped.
And just when I realized,
"Oh, I'm really tired,"
I saw Kyeong-baek
hanging there motionless.
He's… he's so not shaking.
He's glaring.
He was hanging there
like a corpse, and I thought,
"He has a strong will."
"Whoa, I really
do not wanna compete with him."
He weighs more than me.
So I thought, "He must have an iron will,"
so I kept my eyes on him.
I didn't want to lose,
so there was a battle of wills.
Keep going!
-Where are you going?
-Where are you going?
That might tire you out
even more!
Nice! Well done. Well done!
-Wh… What?
-Oh, he changed his position.
He won't look.
He's refusing to look at the other guy.
Well done!
Go, Yang Hak-seon!
You're doing great!
Legendary gymnast, show them!
-Stay! Stay!
-You're doing well!
Don't look!
Think only of yourself!
The other guy is the same! He's the same!
Think of the 300 million!
The 300 million!
I think I'll look so pitiful
if I fall now.
Go, Yang Hak-seon!
There's no point in finishing second!
The fight for first place
is really fierce.
Keep going!
Nice! He's swaying!
My arms were numb,
but I couldn't give up,
so I decided to last as long as possible.
Go, Kim Kyeong-baek!
They're both shaking.
They both reached their limits.
Both… They're both shaking.
Do you think
they're both weaker?
No, no, no, no, no!
No! Muscle-attack! No! Get back up there!
Use your muscles! Yes!
Yang Hak-seon! Yang Hak-seon!
Yang Hak-seon!
He gave us an amazing scene.
It was incredible. He's awesome.
I was surprised by that.
There's a reason not just anyone
can win gold at the Olympics.
-Let's hang in a little longer.
-Oh, this might get tiring.
Go, UDT drill instructor, Kim Kyeong-baek!
Hey, if he wins,
he'll have beaten an Olympic medalist.
Seriously.
He'll have beaten him for real.
How great would that feel?
Let's hang in a little longer.
UDT Kim Kyeong-baek!
