What is the perfect physique?
Welcome, 100 contestants.
What's this?
It's a real mine!
This place is massive.
From now on, you will participate in quests to prove your physiques.
Let's go!
May you survive until the end.
What's this? A maze?
-Catch them! - Are we out if we get caught?
I never imagined this.
- What a monster. - Go for the leg!
They're like bloodhounds.
Whoever the opponent is, I'm going to eat them alive.
I must've been hungry for competition.
I came here to win.
I was ready to take them down.
I didn't know it'd be this intense.
Hold out!
This is crazy.
Let's go!
This is a prison.
It's like we're lab rats.
This show is insane.
This is what you call a deathmatch.
We're challenging the limits of humankind.
You can do it!
It won't go up!
-They're falling! - What is this?
If I don't get my head on right, I won't be able to survive.
This is hell.
Physical: 100.
The second study.
PHYSICAL: 100 UNDERGROUND
EPISODE 1. RUN TO THE LIMIT
This is so cool.
Hello.
I'm a former national team swimmer
and current professional swimmer.
I'm Jung You-in.
I have 18 gold medals just from national competitions.
In total, I have too many to count.
I became famous for my physique.
So I think people will say, "She's perfect for this show."
I thought I was built, but...
Oh, wow.
There are so many people with great physiques.
I think that's when I started to get nervous.
This is going to be fun. Oh, there it is.
It's nice to see you.
Is this an art exhibit?
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- You're a former national team swimmer. - Yes, that's right.
- I saw you on TV. - You're a rugby player.
- That's right. - I've seen you before.
Hello, I'm Andre Jin,
and I'm a national team rugby player.
I think rugby is the perfect sport
that contains a bit of everything and requires abilities in all areas.
So I want to show what rugby players are made of.
I found mine. Okay.
This is so cool.
- Do you know each other? - Yes.
This is no joke.
Hello, my name is Shin Soo-ji.
I'm a former national team rhythmic gymnast.
SHIN SOO-JI NATIONAL TEAM RHYTHMIC GYMNAST
There were 100 torsos in the room.
And they all looked amazing.
Everyone's physique is no joke.
Mine was small and hidden behind all the massive torsos.
I thought mine looked so cool when they were molding it,
but it looks so small here.
This is awesome.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Te-se, I didn't know you'd be here. - Here I am.
Hello.
I'm Chong Te-se, a 39-year-old former soccer player.
I started my career in the J.League.
After the 2010 World Cup, I played in the German league.
And I also played here in Korea.
My specialty was using my body to make scoring opportunities.
My physical attributes were always off the charts.
So I thought I'd be perfect for this show.
I think I'm one of the most physically gifted players in Asia.
We only have athletes so far.
- You're right. - That's right.
- Will there be many athletes this time? - National team athlete special.
- I'm scared.
- Another national team athlete. - Hello.
- He's a national team athlete. - Hello.
- Hello.
There are so many famous people.

JOO MIN-KYUNG NATIONAL TEAM ARM WRESTLER
Te-se.
- Oh, my goodness. - Hello.
- Is he human? - Seriously.
I think mine came out the best.
You have a great physique.
This should be in a museum.
I think you look even bigger now.
- Thank you. - I know, right?
- You bulked up since then, didn't you? - Yes.
These aren't chocolate abs.
- They're more like blocks of tofu. - Tofu.
Unbelievable.
I couldn't believe he was a fellow human.
He's like a monster.
KIM MIN-SU BODYBUILDER
Wow, this show is no joke.
- He has a really nice body too. - He does.
He has such a good posture.
GPT FITNESS YOUTUBER
Everyone looks amazing.
That torso looks huge too.
Oh, hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Oh, my. - She looks amazing.
- She looks stronger than me. - I know.
- I already lost. - She's ripped.
I could never beat her.
Never.
Everyone was in awe when they saw me.
It felt good.
How much exercise does a woman have to do to get that big?
You're amazing.
KANG EUN-HEE BODYBUILDER
- You must've worked so hard. - Exactly.
- But seriously, everyone's so huge. - Right.
I look so scrawny in comparison.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm a big fan of yours.

I finally get to participate in this.
- Hello. - Hello.
PARK SEUNG-HEE NATIONAL TEAM SKATER
Someone's coming. It's a woman.
I like her.
- How do I know everyone? - I like her already.
She's so young. She looks like a baby.
Where is it?
- Soo-ji. - Yeah?
- I believe she's a weightlifter. - What?
- She's dressed just like one.
- She looks so young. - I saw her on social media.
- Really? Her upper body is so slim though. - I know a lot of the people here.
KIM DAM-BI WEIGHTLIFTER
I felt a little more confident when I first saw her.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
Where's mine?
It's right here.
- This one? - Thank you.
- Really? - Really?
- I'm 151.8 cm. - It is.
- Are you 151.8 cm? - They rounded down.
They removed the decimal.
- They should've put 152 cm. - They should've rounded up.
Hello.
- Hello. - You're here.
Hi.
- Hello. - Hello.
She's a track and field athlete.
- You can tell right away. - Her uniform gives it away.
I've been near the top for a while in track and field.
But I wanted to test my limits, so I came on this show.
There's someone from every sport.
- Everyone's here. - We have people from every sport.
Don't you think it'll be much more intense than Season 1?
MO TAE-BUM NATIONAL TEAM SKATER

- Hello. - They're here.
- Hello. - Hello.

I'm Hong Da-eun, a fifth-year arborist.
We climb trees deep in the forest that are over 20 meters tall
and do things such as pruning, collecting seeds,
and basically anything related to trees.
I've gained a lot of survival stamina.
I think that's what I can show off.
Manual labor strength, so to speak.
Look at those tools. How unusual.
Did something break?
Is he here to repair something?
- I'm so curious. - Hello.
I'm a carpenter.
KIM BONG-YUN CARPENTER
Weapons are banned.
Is he going to break all of these?
- That's awesome. - How cool.
At first, I thought it was a national team athlete special.
We have a really diverse group.
This show brings together people from so many different backgrounds
and it was really interesting to see the diversity.
Looking around, I can somewhat gauge everyone's strengths.
- Hello. - Hello.
AHN SUNG-HWAN, JANG YOON-SUNG FOOD SERVICE CEOS
JUYANG FASHION INDUSTRY CEO
I wonder what they do.
Why are they so handsome?

He's sexy.

- Hello. - Hello.
It's Kang So-yeon!
KANG SO-YEON TV PERSONALITY
Single's Inferno.
She was on Single's Inferno...
and now she's coming on Physical: 100?
I did wonder if she was on the wrong set.
This is so cool.
- Someone's coming. - Someone's coming.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Man, his aura. - Hello.
I wonder what he does.
- He sure leaves an impression. - He does.
How do I find my place?
Hello.
Did he come from filming The Roundup?
- They must be filming nearby. - Oh, are they?
This feels so awkward.
SEOL YOUNG-HO MMA FIGHTER
- Hello. - Hello.
- Wow, a police officer. - A police officer?
- A police officer. - Hello.
It's a police officer.
Hello. I'm Ham Young-jin, a former national judo team athlete.
I became a police officer through a special recruitment track
for martial arts experts.
HAM YOUNG-JIN POLICE OFFICER
- He's so cool. - He's a police officer.
The police officer entered right after the other guy.
There must be a reason.
- I'm telling you. - He should arrest him.
They're right next to each other.
This two shot of us is a bit strange.
- Jeez. - Oh, my gosh.
That's hilarious.
I feel like I should arrest him.
Should I at least hide my tattoos?
Why did they put us next to each other?
That's hilarious.
There are so many interesting people.
This is fun. I hope everyone gets here soon.
Oh, that's...
- That's a celebrity. - A celebrity?
He's really buff and does judo. He's an actor.
He has a great physique.
Gosh, hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
See? I told you.
He's really famous.
LEE JAE-YOON ACTOR
Hello. I'm Lee Jae-yoon, and I'm an actor.
I'm currently training in jiujitsu.
And I'm a brown belt.
In addition to that, I'm doing CrossFit, swimming,
running, and a variety of things.
I was hoping for projects where I could show my hard-earned physique.
I think Physical: 100 is the best show for me to do that.
It came out nice.
What the...
No way.
There was a 200 kg torso a few spots away from me.
I thought, "Can a person really be 200 kg?"
That must be the owner of the biggest torso.
Look at that person. The sumo wrestler.
- 200 kg. - 200 kg?!
Yes.
- This person must be massive. - I know.
Is it possible to beat someone who weighs 200 kg?
- If he pins you down... - I don't think it is.
Imagine a physical battle with him.
- Hello. - Hello.
He was the one.
The 200 kg contestant.
Why are we here?
Hello. I'm Lee Kyu-ho, and I've been an actor for 23 years.
I was on Netflix's Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area.
I played Oslo, who was a part of the group that robbed the national mint.
It looks like a movie set with both of us walking in together.
Hello.
Hello. I'm Park Kwang-jae, a former basketball player
and a current actor.
I usually play villains such as killers
and thugs.
I also played the so-called Protein Monster.
I often die in the movies and TV shows I get cast in.
But I'm going to try my best to survive until the end here.
They're huge.
I think we were placed in the wrong spots.
There are police officers to the left of us.
We didn't even do anything wrong.
I feel humbled for some reason.
I think the occupations are more diverse this time.
What's that?
A magician?
He's a ballerino.
What's that?
KIM HEE-HYUN BALLERINO
- The entrances are getting fancy. - Hello.
- Hello.
Did he fall?
What was that?
I'm Noh Sung-yul, a member of Team1llusion.
NOH SUNG-YUL MARTIAL ARTS TRICKER
Are we allowed to show off?
They should've told us.
We could've shown off too.
- I'm looking forward to this one. - Hello.
POWER WHO YAMI COSPLAYER
He has three swords.
Hello.
I'm currently working as a cosplayer.
My nickname is Power Who YAMI.
I wanted to show that there are cosplayers who have great physiques
and take good care of themselves.
That's why I decided to participate.
- What's his concept? - Cosplayers nowadays are... Oh, wow!
What is he doing? I'm curious.
- He put it in his mouth. - He put one in his mouth.
He's prepared so much.
You're awesome!
I thought there would be more to it.
Hello.
- Look who it is. - He's here.
Hello. I'm Lee Jang-kun, a former national kabaddi team player.
LEE JANG-KUN KABADDI PLAYER
- Kabaddi. - Hello.
I was a standout player in the Indian professional league.
That's how I got the nickname, "Korean King."
They also gave me
the nickname "The BTS of India" because that's how famous I am there.
If you mention kabaddi in Korea, you think of Lee Jang-kun right away.
He's a national team athlete.
I was always proud of the national flag emblem,
but this was the first time that it scared me.
I feel like it's Independence Movement Day with all the national flags around.
It's incredible.
- Hello. - Hello.
JUNG JI-HYUN NATIONAL TEAM WRESTLER
He has cauliflower ears. I'll have to watch out for him.
I'm the 2004 Athens Olympics wrestling gold medalist, Jung Ji-hyun.
I became the youngest wrestler to win a gold medal
by winning my first gold at 22 in Athens.
I participated in three Asian Games
and won gold and silver medals.
I also conquered three weight classes
at the Asian Wrestling Championships.
In Season 1, Nam Kyung-jin and Jang Eun-sil represented wrestling.
But I thought it was a little lacking.
I decided to participate in order to show the power of wrestling to the masses.
Someone's here.
- It's him. - It is him! I told you.
The legend.
KIM HYEONG-KYU NATIONAL TEAM BOXER
"Mr. Ippon."
LEE WON-HEE NATIONAL TEAM JUDO PLAYER
- Hello. - National team judo player.
- Hello. - Hello.
Judo legend.
I can't believe it. I haven't seen him in so long.
Hello. I'm Lee Won-hee, and I was the first Korean athlete
to achieve the grand slam in judo.
We have the ippon in judo.
I thought of different methods I could use to win quickly.
That's how I was able to get a lot of ippons.
I eventually got the nickname, "Mr. Ippon."
- Oh, Tae-bum. - Yours is right here.
It's cool that the athletes are in uniform.
- They're here. - Hello.
WI SUNG-OH, TRAINER KANG SEUNG-MIN, FITNESS YOUTUBER
- They're smiling. - Look at their shoulders.
He's a YouTuber. His combined Big Three is 780 kg.
They're no joke.
I don't want to go against them.
They look like actors.
JUSTIN HARVEY, LEE HYUN-JIN ACTORS
He reminds me of Kingsman.
- Hello. - Hello.
HUNTER LEE FBI
PARK HA-YAN, HA MOO-KYOUNG HANDBALL PLAYERS
I've never seen such a pretty handball player.
She's so pretty.
- Are you serious? - Hwang Choong-won.
HWANG CHOONG-WON HEAVY EQUIPMENT COMPANY CEO
The Iron Squad.
We're done for.
Hello.
I run a construction equipment management and rental business.
I'm Hwang Choong-won, a man who carries his weight on the work site.
I really got into working out
because I was in the special forces in the military.
That inspired me to start working out.
When it comes to physical strength, I think I'd be in the top 1%.
He's shining.
It got really bright in here all of a sudden.
Another one here.
GIBSON US ARMY OFFICER
Look at his body.
CHANG YONG-HEUNG RUGBY PLAYER
What's his sport?
Rowing.
KIM DO-HYEON NATIONAL TEAM BOXER
KIM JEE-HYUK NATIONAL TEAM ROWER
Everyone's so buff.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
He's a football player.
Check out his shoulders.
American football?
LEE JUN-HA FOOTBALL PLAYER
He's a long-drive golfer.
He's a champion.
When you think of golf,
you usually think of it as a calm sport.
I want to show that there are golfers out there
capable of showing powerful performances.
It seems like the best of the best from every field is here.
- I think so. - Yes.
- The best of the best. - Seriously.
Hello!
JO SUNG-BIN MMA FIGHTER
- Sung-bin. - Oh, my.
He's here too?
His belts are so cool.
That's what you call an entrance. Going around and greeting everyone.
SIM YU-RI MMA FIGHTER
UFC.
I think I should go home.
We're in trouble.
AMOTTI CROSSFITTER
He's a YouTuber.
HEO KYUNG-HEE NATIONAL TEAM RUGBY PLAYER
GO MIN-JUNG CROSSFITTER
He's a front-runner.
I watched his YouTube videos.
His physique is very impressive.
Both his cardio and physical strength are great.
Nine, ten.
Hello. I'm Amotti, and I'm a CrossFit enthusiast.
My favorite saying is,
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."
In any case, I won't die doing this.
So I'll stay in the mindset of getting stronger and survive.
- I was thinking you'd participate. - Really?
You weren't in Season 1, so I knew you'd show up this time.
- Thank you. - You'll be the winner.
No, it's impossible.
There's not too many left.
- I think he'll show up last. - Yes.
He's going to make a grand entrance.
- I've heard his name before. - It's awesome.
I'm not sure who he is.
Can a contestant from Season 1 compete again?
Is that possible?
I don't know.
He was in Season 1 and he's coming back.
- Really? - Yes.
So former contestants can come back.
- He lost by a hair. - I see.
So I guess he's giving it another go.
Hello.
What?
He's back?
He came back.
I didn't think you could participate twice.
Neither did I.
Hello, sir.
Nice to see you here.
Hong Beom-seok.
This is his second time, right?
Hong Beom-seok.
HONG BEOM-SEOK SEASON 1 CONTESTANT
A firefighter.
That's awesome.
I was a contestant in Season 1.
I'm Hong Beom-seok, a former firefighter.
Good luck!
Wow, he's really fast.
He dropped it.
There's really nothing he can do.
- Twenty seconds! - Twenty seconds!
Getting eliminated like that
really hurt my pride, and I was disappointed in myself.
After Season 1, I gathered myself.
And I worked on my mental strength as well.
So in Season 2, I'm going in with a do-or-die attitude
to survive until the end.
We've got a strong contender.
KU SUNG-HOE 707TH SMG SERGEANT FIRST CLASS RESERVIST
Hong Beom-seok is here.
They put quite a cast together.
Now, it's time for the final boss.
The main character.
I wonder who will be the last to appear.
- Who was the last to appear in Season 1? - Yun Sung-bin.
I wonder who it'll be this time.
I'm curious as to how he'll make an entrance.
The last one.
The man of Season 2.
KIM DONG-HYUN MMA FIGHTER
You're kidding me!
He's here!
This is crazy.
I knew it.
I can't believe this.
I'm Kim Dong-hyun, a 41-year-old MMA fighter.
I was the first Korean to fight in the UFC.
My record is 28 fights, 22 wins, and 4 losses.
I've only ever lost four times in my life fighting in the welterweight division
that's known to have the world's strongest fighters.
Just because I appear on variety shows doesn't mean I'm an entertainer.
I'm still a fighter to the bone.
I'm going to think of Physical: 100as the UFC
and go in with the mindset
that I'm competing for the first time in six years.
As soon as they come face to face with me,
they'll understand why I only lost four times.
I have to be on the same team as Dong-hyun.
No matter what.
- Dong-hyun. - The Cicada.
It's fitting that he's here.
How is this fair?
He's going to be so tough to beat.
Whatever we do, I don't want to face him.
Physical: 100.
Welcome, 100 contestants.
We invited you all here
to search for the most perfect physique,
regardless of gender, age, or race.
From now on, you will be participating in quests
that challenge your physiques with your torsos on the line.
Please change into your uniforms now.
I was a little intimidated
because I didn't know what I could achieve competing against professional athletes.
Seeing everyone's bodies
made me feel anxious but competitive at the same time.
I think I'll be able to beat everyone.
I'm going to show how intimidating a CrossFitter can be.
No matter who I go up against,
I can't imagine losing.
You are all gathered here today
to find the best body and perfect physique.
There is only one rule here.
You will have to rely solely on your own physique
in order to survive to the end.
The one to survive until the end,
the final physique standing,
will win...
300 million won.
Wow, 300 million.
That's a huge amount.
May you survive until the end.
Will I be able to survive here?
I really made it to Physical: 100. It's hitting me now.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I have to take advantage of it.
I'm going to show them that big things come in small packages.
What's this?
What will it be?
- What's this? - This is amazing.
- Physical: 100 is insane. - It's no joke.
I've never seen something like this before.
It's incredible. How did they prepare all this?
I wonder where they got all these.
The Physical: 100 pre-quest mission.
The pre-quest mission is...
a manual treadmill run.
There were so many treadmills spread out in front of me.
I kept wondering where they got all of them.
It felt like I was in one of those huge gyms in Las Vegas.
It was massive.
They turned imagination into reality.
- Come on! - Oh, no.
I've never done this before.
I'm screwed.
I hate this the most.
You're joking.
I'm terrible at this.
I'm in big trouble.
- This won't be easy. - Manual treadmill.
It's completely different from an ordinary treadmill.
- It depends on the rules, right? - Right.
It depends on the rules.
It's better than hanging.
Someone might have a heart attack.
We're going to taste blood.
I'm in big trouble.
This is hell.
PARK DA-SOL NATIONAL TEAM JUDO PLAYER
Honestly, I was glad.
I'm fairly confident in my cardiorespiratory endurance,
so I felt like I had a chance.
Do you usually run a lot?
This is my first time using this machine.
I've never used it either.
I'm used to being in the water. I've never done this before.
I tried it and it was so hard.
The treadmill runs on your strength alone,
so I think it's 1.5 times harder
than running on an ordinary treadmill you find in a gym.
No one seems happy to do this.
Who enjoys running?
Track and field athletes definitely have an advantage.
Exactly.
Is there a track and field athlete here?
Yes.
Isn't she one?
She's a 400-meter runner.
Running is my expertise.
So when I saw the treadmill, I felt like I hit the jackpot.
I'm running against a professional runner.
I did special training for Physical: 100.
I figured I had to focus on running in order to really play to my strengths.
The training I did as a soccer player will come in handy here.
So I think I got lucky.
The people in the back have an advantage.
It's better to run behind people.
Take a look back from time to time.
I'll fall.
I'm confident when it comes to
muscular endurance or exerting myself over a long period of time.
I thought this was the best event to showcase my abilities.
I think Hong Beom-seok will be good at this.
He used to be a firefighter.
And from what I know, he was also in the military.
I'm still the first and only Korean
to hold the championship title in the World Firefighters Games.
About 80% of my body has been tuned by running.
It's something I'm good at, so I'm not too worried.
- CrossFit athletes would be good at this. - Exactly.
Amotti will come in first place.
He should be pretty used to this.
This is a piece of cake for people who do CrossFit.
Exactly. It's in their daily routine.
AMBER YANG CROSSFITTER
Honestly,
it's nothing new to CrossFitters.
So I thought I had a good chance.
The pre-quest mission will now begin.
Yeah!
- This is crazy. - Pre-quest mission.
The pre-quest mission consists of three rounds.
Three rounds?
- What? - Rounds?
The first round will last ten minutes.
- Ten minutes. - No way.
All 100 people will run simultaneously.
After recording the distance covered, the bottom 50
will be eliminated.
50 ELIMINATIONS
- No way. - Right away?
Only the top 50 will survive.
50 SURVIVORS
Just running for a long time won't cut it.
We have to run like crazy for ten minutes.
This is tough.
This is brutal.
The second round will last seven minutes.
50 people will run and 40 people will be eliminated.
Only ten people will survive.
- This is no joke. - Seriously.
This is going to be really hard.
The third and final round will last five minutes.
The final ten will run
and one will become the final winner.
- Wow. - Running?
I was honestly worried.
I wondered how fair it would be
to have us compete on manual treadmills.
But it turned out distance was what matters,
which made things different.
I can't go all out from the start.
I was thinking about how to pace myself.
All 100 contestants participating in the pre-quest mission
will move on to the next quest.
However, the distance covered by each person
will decide their ranking from 1 to 100.
And the rankings...
will be marked on your bodies.
That's too much.
- That's so cruel. - That's cruel.
- It's like we're being branded. - That's cruel!
That's hardcore.
That number will grant you a privilege
that will give you an advantage in the first quest.
A privilege.
An advantage? What will it be?
I have no choice but to go all out.
I should've run on these more often.
Let's do this.
I'm going to run like a dog.
I've always been confident in running.
Let's just get in the final ten.
Let's not leave any regrets.
I'm not good at running.
But as a swimmer, I take pride in my cardiorespiratory endurance.
I was a welterweight in my fighting days,
but I've never been outrun by a lightweight fighter before.
And I take pride in that.
The pre-quest will now begin.
Let's go!
- We got this! - We got this!
Don't get hurt!
It was kind of hard to control.
I was a little flustered in the beginning.
I ran for a bit and thought, "Oh, this is doable."
LEE HO-YEON MODEL
I thought, "Wow, this isn't easy."
I got in the zone,
and I just got really pumped.
I got this crazy feeling.
I was all over the place.
My heart started racing, and the pressure got to me.
KO JONG-HUN POLICE SPECIAL OPERATION UNIT OFFICER
I just thought I was doomed.
I wasn't sure if I could run fast for a long time.
I got a cramp in my hamstrings as soon as I started running.
WI SUNG-OH TRAINER
So I thought, "Today's not my day."
My knees were hurting,
so it was hard to maintain my balance and it really got to me.
I don't know if it was because it was my first time,
or if it was just me, but it was rather hard to control.
It was impossible from the beginning.
Chong Te-se was diagonally in front of me.
He was a soccer player, so I assumed he'd be good at running.
And as expected, he was great.
I felt like I could beat these people.
I felt confident that I could get into the high rankings.
Seven minutes left.
We got this!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Weightlifters never have to run for ten minutes straight.
I wanted to give up at the seven-minute mark.
It seemed like Kim Dong-hyun was running with ease.
He still had it.
KIM DONG-HYUN MMA FIGHTER
Jee-hyuk made it look so easy.
I was watching from behind.
He was taking big strides and was running with power.
I don't know if it's because he's a rower, but he was pulling as he ran.
- We got this! - Let's go!
- Let's go!
I wanted to give up so bad.
JANG JUN-HYUK WRESTLER
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Three minutes left.
Hang in there!
I couldn't keep my pace up at the three-minute mark.
So I thought, "This really isn't easy."
I started to feel it.
I was getting tired.
- Let's go! - We got this!
I came this far, so I tried my best to hang in there.
We're almost there!
- One minute! - One minute!
- Let's go! - One minute.
One minute left.
- Let's go! - We got this!
One minute felt like a year.
We're almost there!
- Almost there! - Let's go!
Ten seconds left.
- Ten seconds! - Ten seconds!
I couldn't move my legs.
I was so exhausted.
It felt like hell.
It felt like the heavens were punishing me.
Every time I coughed, phlegm came up.
But it turned out it was blood.
That's how much effort I put into it.
The bottom 50 for the first round
of the pre-quest mission will now be announced.
- Wow. - Oh, my goodness.
This is a bit cruel.
There's no way I'm last.
I really gave it my all.
I'd be so disappointed.
I think I'd be so sad and disappointed.
Please.
Here are the results.
Wi Sung-oh.
I figured ranking hundredth would be better
than ranking ninety or eighty-something.
My goal is to erase the zeros from 100.
Lee Kyu-ho.
LEE KYU-HO, ACTOR 99TH PLACE / 828 M
JANG SUNG-YEOP, BODYBUILDER 95TH PLACE / 1,222 M
JU SUNG-MIN, KOREAN MEDICINE DOCTOR 98TH PLACE / 1,130 M
JANG JUN-HYUK, WRESTLER 89TH PLACE / 1,494 M
I still achieved my goal.
At least I was in 89th place.
SHIN SOO-JI, RHYTHMIC GYMNAST 87TH PLACE / 1,512 M
KANG SO-YEON, TV PERSONALITY 84TH PLACE / 1,577 M
Back in the day, I was very confident in my cardio abilities.
I overestimated myself too much.
LEE WON-HEE, NATIONAL TEAM JUDO PLAYER 60TH PLACE / 1,781 M
I expected it, but I still felt terrible.
The fact that I couldn't get into the top 50 was a huge blow.
Those ranked in the bottom 50
cannot participate in the second round.
TOP 50
The pre-quest mission.
Manual treadmill run.
There will be ten survivors in the second round.
Forty people will be eliminated.
Ten people? Top ten?
What on earth...
This round will last for seven minutes.
- That's not bad. - Seven minutes.
This might be a little hard.
- Good luck. - This is really tough.
I'm very competitive,
so I have to come in first.
JUNG DAE-JIN, SPORTS MODEL R1 10TH PLACE
I can't make the top ten.
That's impossible.
When I talked with my colleagues, I told them I was just giving it a go.
But deep down, I wanted to prove myself
and show everyone why I was here.
The run will start when the whistle blows.
- Let's do this. - Yes!
We got this!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
- Let's do this!
Look at them.
AMOTTI, CROSSFITTER R1 6TH PLACE
They're definitely running faster than before.
Wow, he's a great runner.
So this is how you have to run to get into the top 50.
What's with these people?
Don't they get tired at all?
Wow, they're such great runners.
HONG BEOM-SEOK, FORMER FIREFIGHTER R1 1ST PLACE
His stride was different.
He was maintaining a fast pace the entire time.
Seeing those bulky men run so well made me question myself.
It felt like time stood still.
JO SUNG-BIN, MMA FIGHTER R1 14TH PLACE
It was killing me.
It went from ten to seven minutes, so we shaved off three minutes.
But the seven minutes felt much longer.
The first thought that crossed my mind was that hanging would've been better.
- Five minutes left. - Five minutes!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Hang in there!
LEE JANG-KUN KABADDI PLAYER
Let's go!
KIM DONG-HYUN MMA FIGHTER
AMOTTI CROSSFITTER
I was still doing okay.
I didn't want to use up all my stamina, so I decided to pace myself.
I wanted to unleash it all at the end.
They're all so good.
Let's go, everyone in their forties!
Let's go, Kang Ki-jun!
KANG KI-JUN, PORTER R1 3RD PLACE
While he was running,
he kept yelling, "Let's go, everyone in their forties!"
But he was running better than people in their twenties.
I run about three times a week.
I also compete in marathons during the weekends.
I figured I'd run like I always have
and aim to get into the top ten.
KANG KI-JUN PORTER
Let's go!
You got this!
Ji-eun is running so well.
You can't beat a track and field athlete.
KIM JI-EUN TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETE
I felt like my pride as a track athlete would take a blow
if I didn't show something here,
so I gave it my all.
I wanted to win the privilege
and get a leg up on the competition.
PARK HA-YAN HANDBALL PLAYER
That's crazy. The woman in the front is so good.
I've been working out more than when I was an active player.
My personal goal was to place first among the women.
Lift your knees!
- Almost there! - Three minutes left.
- Three minutes left! Let's go! - Three minutes!
You're almost there!
Let's go!
KIM HYEONG-KYU NATIONAL TEAM BOXER
I started running out of breath.
The people in front of me were running so well.
I increased my speed thinking I had to keep up with them,
and that messed up my pace.
Damn it.
I'm about to swear.
Let's go!
I'm so damn tired.
POWER WHO YAMI COSPLAYER
I wanted to give up and just lie down.
But none of them were stopping.
We were allowed to rest,
but they were all just going at it.
So I couldn't stop.
The moment I started thinking I could rest a little,
I realized if I slowed down here,
everyone else would catch up.
So I decided to keep going
and tried to cover as much distance as I could.
- Hang in there! - Let's go!
- Hang in there! - One minute left.
You got this!
- Let's go! - Just a little more!
This is crazy. They're all sprinting.
HAM YOUNG-JIN POLICE OFFICER
The one-minute mark was the toughest.
I have to run faster than the people in front of me.
I just ran like crazy.
I have to hang in there and just run.
I have to get into the top ten no matter what.
There won't be another chance. I had to show them here.
Last 30 seconds!
- Thirty seconds left. - Let's go!
- Keep it up! - Let's go!
Come on, Andre!
They're getting faster. Almost there!
Come on!
Ten seconds!
- Ten seconds left. - Just ten more seconds!
Just ten more seconds!
Let's go, handball!
- Five, four, three, two, one. - Five, four, three, two, one.
Wow, that was amazing!
They're all so good.
They're amazing.
That final stretch was insane.
I gave everything I had at the end.
I'm so tired.
I'm proud of myself.
I'm glad I didn't give up.
The bottom 40 for the second round
of the pre-quest mission will now be announced.
I wonder who made it.
The 40 people announced
cannot participate in the third round.
Okay.
The eliminated people will now be announced.
Kim Ji-eun.
I really gave everything I had,
so I was a little disappointed.
Park Ha-yan.
Good job everyone.
It was my goal to come in first among the female contestants.
I did it. I achieved my goal.
Lee Jang-kun.
Lee Jang-kun didn't make it?
Jung Dae-jin.
I got eleventh place.
From a strategic perspective, I think it worked out.
I could sit out on the third round and save up my strength
while also getting the privilege of a high rank.
LEE JAE-YOON, 40TH PLACE / 3,298 M KANG CHEONG-MYEONG, 18TH PLACE / 3,666 M
JUSTIN HARVEY, 26TH PLACE / 3,481 M MO TAE-BUM, 43RD PLACE / 3,277 M
Those ranked in the bottom 40 cannot participate in the third round.
The ten final survivors
for the third and final round of the manual treadmill run
will now be announced.
Top 10 out of 100 means they're no joke.
Kim Dong-hyun.
KIM DONG-HYUN, MMA FIGHTER 10TH PLACE / 3,803M
I've never lost when it comes to running, especially in long-distance running.
I just thought it was do-or-die.
HA MOO-KYOUNG, HANDBALL PLAYER 9TH PLACE / 3,843 M
PARK WOO-JIN, COAST GUARD OFFICER 8TH PLACE / 3,879 M
Chong Te-se.
Wow, Chong Te-se made it.
He's been retired for a while too.
But he still keeps himself in good shape.
Andre Jin.
ANDRE JIN, NATIONAL TEAM RUGBY PLAYER 6TH PLACE / 3,969 M
KANG KI-JUN, PORTER 5TH PLACE / 3,990 M
Amotti.
Amotti. Nice.
His stride was impressive.
AMOTTI, CROSSFITTER TIED 3RD PLACE / 4,047 M
KU SUNG-HOE, 707TH SMG RESERVIST TIED 3RD PLACE / 4,047 M
KIM JEE-HYUK, NATIONAL TEAM ROWER 2ND PLACE / 4,153 M
Hong Beom-seok.
The front-runner!
HONG BEOM-SEOK, FORMER FIREFIGHTER 1ST PLACE / 4,160 M
There were ten people left at the end.
I looked at all their faces.
And none of them quite looked like a runner.
So I thought I had a good chance.
The manual treadmill run
that provides a privilege in the first quest.
The third and final round...
will last for five minutes.
It's a battle between the best.
Now that I've made it this far, I got even more competitive.
I believe I can win.
It's nothing I can't handle!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
No one dies from running.
I need to get first place.
- You got this! - Let's go!
Let's go!
They're so light on their feet.
Jeez, they're running so fast.
Their stride is different.
Where do they get the energy?
They ran for ten minutes, then for another seven minutes.
They're incredible.
Wow, Dong-hyun's stride is something else.
He's tall so he covers a lot of ground.
- He sure is fast. - He really is.
KIM DONG-HYUN MMA FIGHTER
This comes down to who gets off to the best start.
Everyone's going to go for it at the end, so that won't do much.
HONG BEOM-SEOK FORMER FIREFIGHTER
Hong Beom-seok's speed is something else.
- That guy? - Yeah, Hong Beom-seok.
He has a really good pace.
And he can maintain that fast pace.
Hong Beom-seok is like a robot.
He was so stable with his stride and his breathing.
His running was perfect.
It's something I'm good at.
I want to give it my all,
so I don't have any regrets like I did in Season 1.
You're doing good!
Kick it up a notch.
He must be getting tired now.
HA MOO-KYOUNG HANDBALL PLAYER
I pushed myself too hard in the second round,
so I didn't have any energy left.
All I could think about was to bear down and keep running.
PARK WOO-JIN COAST GUARD OFFICER
He's so light on his feet.
Even his breathing is stable.
AMOTTI CROSSFITTER
Wow, it's almost like he's floating in space or something.
It's like he's in zero gravity.
- One minute! - One minute!
Let's go!
I can do this.
- Let's go! - Hang in there!
Everyone's picked up the pace.
They've picked it up.
The guy at the end is maintaining his pace.
I think he'll come in first.
I really don't know who will win.
- Thirty seconds left. - Last spurt, come on!
Wow, look at him run!
Let's finish strong! Pick it up!
Pick up the pace!
Wow, they're actually going faster.
Let's go!
Twenty seconds. Let's go!
Wow, they're going faster.
They're amazing.
- Fifteen seconds! - Fifteen seconds!
- Go! - Let's go!
Until the end!
Empty the tank!
- Ten seconds! - Ten seconds!
It's like time slowed down.
Ten seconds felt like thirty.
I thought, "This is insane."
I think I went too fast in the beginning.
It was a battle against myself.
No one's ever died from running.
I thought, "Let's do this. Let's show that the Stun Gun is here."
Keep going! You got this!
Almost there!
Ten seconds!
- Nine, eight, seven, six, - Nine, eight, seven, six,
- five, four, three, two, one! - five, four, three, two, one!
- ...two, one! - ...two, one!
That was crazy.
- Good job. - That was amazing.
Good job.
Great job.
- They're all monsters. - Seriously.
He's like a robot.
It's amazing that he's standing.
- Breathe. - Breathe.
I'm perfectly fine.
Those ten seconds felt like forever.
I thought we were 20 seconds in but only 5 seconds had passed.
The final round of the manual treadmill run has concluded.
The final winner,
determined by the cumulative distance across all three rounds,
will be announced.
I wonder who it'll be.
I think Amotti will be first.
I think it's Amotti.
He had great cardiorespiratory and muscular endurance.
It has to be Hong Beom-seok.
I'm going to take first place no matter what.
I take great pride in my ability to run long distances without losing speed.
The pre-quest mission with a privilege on the line.
The winner of the manual treadmill run is...
The final winner is...
