Hello. I'm a professional swimmer
and former member of the national swimming team.
Jung You-in.
I've won 18 gold medals from national games alone,
and in total, there's too many to count.
I actually got famous for my physique.
I think when people see me, they'll say, "Yeah, I get why she's here."
I thought I was pretty big, but...
[gasps] No way.
Everyone's in such amazing shape here.
It was around then that I started getting nervous.
This is fun. Oh, found it.
Wow.
Nice to see you.
[whoops softly]
[Andre] Amazing.
It looks like an art exhibit.
[You-in] Oh.
Hello, there!

- [You-in] I've seen you a lot. - Wow.
[Andre] Hello, I'm Korean national rugby team player, Andre Jin.
I think rugby is the perfect sport because it's got everything.
It's the toughest, for sure.
I wanna show off the appeal of rugby players.
There it is. Okay.
This is so cool.
[bright dainty music playing]
Ah!

I'm a former national team rhythmic gymnast.
SHIN SOO-JI NATIONAL TEAM RHYTHMIC GYMNAST
There were 100 torsos all spread out.
And all of them had killer physiques.
Wow, everyone here is crazy fit, aren't they?
[chuckles]
Mine was really small, so I had a hard time finding it.
Man, I thought I was so cool when they were molding it,
but now I feel like I'm tiny.
[chuckles]
[Te-se] Wow.
[rock music playing]
No way.
- Oh. Look at this. - [Andre] Oh?

[Te-se] Hello.
I'm a 39-year-old former soccer player, Chong Te-se.
I started out in the J.League.
[stadium audience cheering]
I got to play in Germany, after the World Cup.
And then I played in Korea.
I was known for my specialization in body checking and shooting to score.
If we're talking physically...
[sucks teeth] ...I was always off the charts.
So I thought I might just be the perfect person for this show.
I think I'm one of the most physically gifted players in Asia.
So far, we've only had athletes, right?
- Yeah, just athletes. - Oh, you're right.
- There will be a lot of us this season? - [Soo-ji] National team members.

Yeah, this belongs in a museum, don't you think?
I think you're even bigger now.
- Oh, thank you. - [Soo-ji] Yeah, you're even more--
[Te-se] You've bulked up since then, haven't you?
- Yes. - I've heard of chocolate bar abs,

What kind of training do you have to do to get ripped like that?
- [Soo-ji] You're incredible. - [Eun-hee chuckles]

[Dae-jin] Hey, everyone, my name is Jung Dae-jin, and I'm a sports model.
JUNG DAE-JIN SPORTS MODEL
I'm proud to say, I've won the most titles
under the sports model category in all of Korea.
Wow, so I'm finally doing this.
- [Min-kyung] Oh, hey. Yup. - Hey.
- Oh, someone's here. - She's petite for sure.
- Oh, look. It's a woman. - Huh?
Okay, good.
- Do I literally know everyone here? - Suddenly, I feel great.
[laughs]
[Seung-hee] She looks really, really young, though.
- [Seung-hee] She's like a baby. - Where is it?
- Unnie. She's like... - What?
- She's like a professional weightlifter. - Yeah.
- Huh? - Yeah. I can tell by her outfit.
- She looks so young. - She's a weightlifter. I saw her socials.
- Seriously? - [You-in] It's like I know everyone here.
[Soo-ji] But her upper body is so slim though.
And here I was starting to feel confident just based on her looks.
- Hello. - [Dam-bi] Hi.
How's it going?
Where's mine then?
[cheeky music playing]
Oh, it's right over here.
- [You-in] Is this it? - [Dam-bi] Oh, thank you.
- Wow, seriously? - [Dam-bi] Yeah.
- I'm 151.8 cm. - [You-in] It is.
- [You-in] You are? - They rounded down.
[Soo-ji] They took away the decimal point.
- They rounded down. - They should've rounded up.
- [Soo-ji] I know, right? 152. - Jeez.
[bright music playing]
Hello.
- Hi. - Oh, you're here.
- [laughs] - Hey.
- [You-in] Glad you're here, unnie.
[Te-se] You're track and field.
- [man] You can tell right away. - [Te-se] Her uniform gives it away.
[Ji-eun] I've been near the peak for a while
when it comes to track and field.
But I wanted to know what my limits were.
That's why I came here to Physical: 100.
[Dae-jin] It's like we got every sport.
- [Tae-bum] Looks like it. - [Dae-jin] Yep, like, almost all of them.
Doesn't it feel like it's gonna be even more intense than Season 1?
- Totally. - [Te-se] Yeah, I think it just might be.
- Hello. - [Tae-bum] She's here.
- What's up? - [You-in] Hey.
- What does she do? I'm so curious. - [Soo-ji] She looks great.
[You-in] Whoa, I'm gonna guess, special forces?
Uh, no, actually, I'm an arborist. I work with trees.
- Did you say trees? - [Da-eun] I climb trees for a living.
- Whoa! - [Da-eun] You're a swimmer.
Yes. Yeah. [chuckles]
- [Seung-hee] That's fascinating. - Oh, really?
[Da-eun] Hello, I've been an arborist for five years,
and I'm a member of the Korean Arborist Association.
Hong Da-eun.
I climb trees, averaging about 20 meters, deep in the forest.
I do pruning, collect seeds.
Put it this way, arborists basically do anything that has to do with trees.
I've got a lot of what I'd like to call survival stamina.
So I'm hoping I can show off a bit of that stuff.
My manual labor strength, I guess.
[Tae-bum] Whoa.
Wait, is that a tool belt?
[Andre] Did something break down?
A repairman.
- I'm so curious. - [Bong-yun] Hello.
- I'm a carpenter. - [Soo-ji] He's got a hammer.
KIM BONG-YUN CARPENTER
- No weapons. No weapons allowed. - [Andre] A carpenter?
Don't tell me you're here to break these already.
- [Tae-bum] That's so cool. - [Seung-hee] Amazing.
I guess it's not a national team special then, is it?
[Seung-hee] No, we've got such a diverse group.
[man] Physical: 100 really is a party for people from all walks of life.
Things just got really interesting.
I'm getting a good measure of everybody's strengths.

Can't be an accident that he arrived right after that last guy.
- [laughs] - [Andre] I'm telling you.
[Hee-jeong] Think he's gonna cuff us right now?
They're standing together.
[chuckles]
[Da-eun] They're standing together. [chuckles]
I feel like you did this on purpose, didn't you?
[contestants laughing]
- [Young-ho] Man. - Oh, my God.
- I can't. - He looks like...
I should take you in?
I feel like I need to cover up my tattoos right now.
They knew what they were doing.
- [Seung-hee] That's hilarious. - That's funny as hell.
[You-in] We got a fun group here. We do.
This is great. Can't wait to meet everyone.

[suspenseful music playing]
[gunshots firing]
I'm currently training in jiujitsu.
And I'm a brown belt.
Besides that, I also do CrossFit, I swim,
I run, pretty much everything.
I've been working hard, so I've been hoping for some projects
where I could show off my hard-earned gains.
But then I thought Physical: 100 would be the perfect place to do that.
It looks nice. [chuckles]
[intimidating music playing]
[Kyu-ho] Oh. Oh, my.
Wait, what?
Whoa. [chuckles]
Oh!
Oh, no way.
[Sung-min] A few spots over there was a 200-kilo torso.
There's no way. Really?
Ah, he's gotta be the owner of that big torso we found earlier.
[Andre] Hyung, look at this one. It's gotta be a sumo wrestler.
- [Te-se] Wow. 200 kilos. - Two hundred? Jeez.
[Andre] That's a lot.
- [Dae-jin] Yeah, they've gotta be massive. - [Min-su] It's just... Wow...

- [man 2] Oh, wow. - Guys, this is the one.
The 200-kilo torso.
Why did we come here?
[Kyu-ho] Hello. My name is Lee Kyu-ho, and I've been an actor for 23 years.
I was on the Netflix show Money Heist: Korea.
I played a character named Oslo, who's part of a group
that pulls a heist on the national mint.
It kinda feels like we're walking onto a movie set, the two of us here.
Hello, everyone. Hi.
[Kwang-jae] Hello. My name is Park Kwang-jae,
and I'm a basketball player turned actor.
I play a lot of villains, killers, and whatnot.

I end up getting killed a lot in my shows.
But I'm gonna give it all I've got to survive here.
Whoa. He's massive.
- I feel like they might have set us up. - [laughter]
[Young-ho] We've got a bunch of cops over here, this reeks of a set-up.
But wait, we haven't even done anything.
I feel like this says something about me, man.
[Dae-jin] This group seems so diverse this time.
[bright cheeky music playing]
[man 1] Whoa, what's this?
[contestants' surprised exclaims]
Dang. A magician?
He's a ballet dancer.

I'm a cosplayer and athlete.
My name is Power Who YAMI. That's me.
I joined Physical: 100 because I wanted to show the world
that there are cosplayers out there that are fit
and take good care of themselves.
- [Soo-ji] What's he supposed to be? - [man 1] Cosplayers nowadays are so...
- [man 1] Oh, my gosh. - [Soo-ji] Wait, what's he doing?

- [woman] Kabaddi. - Hey. Hi.
[Jang-kun] I was a standout player in the Indian professional league.
That's how I got all these nicknames, like "Korean King,"
"The BTS of India" and so on.
I guess that's how popular I got over there.
If you think of kabaddi in Korea, you think of Lee Jang-kun.
Whoa, he's a national athlete.
[Young-woo] I was always so proud of our Korean flag.
Seeing it in this contest made it scary.
[Young-ho] What is it, Independence Day with all the national flags?
- [contestants chuckling] - Damn, I'm impressed.
[intimidating music playing]
- [man 1] Hello. - Hello.
JUNG JI-HYUN NATIONAL TEAM WRESTLER
[man 2] Damn, cauliflower ears. He's gotta be tough.
I'm the 2004 Athens Olympics wrestling gold medalist, Jung Ji-hyun.
[stadium audience cheering]
[Ji-hyun] I became the youngest wrestler ever to win a gold medal
and by winning in Athens at the age of 22.
I also competed three times in the Asian Games.
I won gold and silver medals.
At the Asian Wrestling Championships,
I won three times, for three different weight classes.
I thought Nam Kyung-jin and Jang Eun-sil represented wrestling well in Season 1.
But it was kind of lacking.
I decided I needed to compete,
to show everyone the true power of wrestling.

Earning me the nickname, "Mr. Ippon."

they usually think of it as a quiet sport.
So I wanted to show everyone that there are golfers out there
who can also partake in these powerful performances.
Looks like we've got pretty much anyone who's anything in their respective fields.
- You're right. - [Ji-hyun] Yeah.

HEO KYUNG-HEE NATIONAL TEAM RUGBY PLAYER
GO MIN-JUNG CROSSFITTER
He's a front-runner for sure.
[Ho-yeon] I used to watch him on YouTube.
That dude's next level.
Not just in terms of cardio, but he's also got strength.
Nine, ten.
Hello. I'm a CrossFit enthusiast. Amotti.
[Amotti] There's a saying. My favorite saying goes,
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."
And since this isn't going to kill me,
I might as well use this opportunity to grow even stronger.
- I was expecting you, you know? - Oh, really?
Since you weren't on Season 1, I thought maybe this time.
- Thank you. - First place.
No way. There's no way.
Only a few left.
- I feel like he'll be last. - Yep.
[Jae-yoon] To make a cool entrance. [chuckles softly].
[expectant music playing]
- Oh, I know that name. - Wow, that's awesome.
- Not sure. - It's...
So if you were on Season 1, can you come back?
[Soo-ji] Uh, is that allowed?
I have no idea.
You know, yeah. He was in Season 1 and he's coming back.
- Huh? Really? - Yeah, I know.
People can come back the next season?
- [Min-kyung] Well, he lost by a hair. - [GPT] Oh...
[Min-kyung] So maybe that's why.
[rock music playing]
[contestants applauding]
Oh, wow.
Hello.
What the...
- [man 1] What? - [man 2] So he's back, huh?
- [man 3] Guess so. - [man 4] He's here again.
[man 2] I wouldn't think you can do that.
[man 4] Yeah, I know. I thought the same thing.
- [contestants applauding] - [Sung-hoe] Hello, sir.
- Hey, you're here too. - [Sung-hoe chuckles]
It's Hong Beom-seok.
- [man 5] Isn't this his second time here? - [man 6] Yes, he's back.
[man 7] Hong Beom-seok?
HONG BEOM-SEOK SEASON 1 CONTESTANT
[man 8] A firefighter.
[woman] That's insane.
[Beom-seok] My name is Hong Beom-seok.
I was a firefighter and I participated in Season 1.
- [starting whistle] - [I-taek] Good luck!
[Season 1 contestants cheering]
[I-taek] He's fast. He's really fast.
[man 1] He's dropping it.
[Season 1 contestants groaning]
[Min-ji] Oh, well. There's really nothing he can do.
- [Seong-min] Forty seconds! - [Season 1 contestants exclaim]
[man 2] Forty seconds!
[Kkang Mi] Twenty seconds!
[man 3] Three...
[Season 1 contestants exclaim]
[Beom-seok] Getting eliminated like that...
it really hurt my pride, and I was pretty disappointed in myself.
After Season 1 ended, I pulled myself together.
And really worked on my mental fortitude also.
So in Season 2, I'm just gonna go all in, do-or-die,
and make sure that I'm the last one standing.
[Cheong-myeong] That's a strong contender.
KU SUNG-HOE 707TH SMG SERGEANT FIRST CLASS RESERVIST
Hong Beom-seok is in the building.
They put together one hell of a cast, seriously.
[Ho-yeon] It's time for the final boss to show up.
- Right there. - Or maybe the main character.
[Kwang-jae] Oh, I wonder who the last person's gonna be.
- Who was the last one on Season 1? - Yun Sung-bin.
Oh.
I wonder who it'll be this time.
[chuckles]
[man 1] I'm curious about their entrance.
[woman 1 chuckling]
[woman 2] Last one.
[intense music playing]
[contestants applauding]
[man 2] There's our protagonist.
- [contestants cheering] - Nice to meet you.
KIM DONG-HYUN MMA FIGHTER
Oh, jeez! You've gotta be kidding!
[impressed exclaims]
[Yeon-su] No way! He's here?
- Oh, man. - That's crazy.
[man 3] Dude, I knew it. I knew this would happen.
This is nuts, bro.
I'm Kim Dong-hyun, I'm a fighter. I turned 41 this year.
[commentator exclaims]
[commentator] Hathaway is out cold! Dong-hyun Kim!
[Dong-hyun] I was the first Korean to fight in the UFC.
And out of 28 matches, I have 22 wins, and 4 losses.
I've only ever lost four fights in my entire life
and that's in the welterweight class
which has some of the strongest fighters in the world.
Just because I appear on variety shows doesn't mean I'm just a celebrity now.
There's still a fighter's blood running through my veins.
I'm approaching this how I'd approached the UFC.
And I'm gonna think of this as my first real match in six years.
Once they face off against me,
they're gonna realize why I've only ever lost four times.
I've gotta get on his team for sure.
[chuckles] I have to. No matter what.
- Really. - The Cicada is here, hm.
- [man 1] I'm getting nervous. - [man 2] Wait, isn't he the OP?
[man 2] How is this even fair?
[man 3] Whatever happens, I hope I don't face him. [chuckles]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Master] Physical: 100.
One hundred contestants, welcome.
We are here to determine beyond age, beyond gender,
and beyond race, who has the most perfect physique of all.
Going forward, you will participate in a range of quests,
with your torsos on the line, to prove your physical capabilities.
[rocks rumbling]
Now, please change into your uniforms.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Jae-yoon] There was this fear that crept up inside me
and made me question how far could I possibly get
competing among all these professional athletes.
[Sung-yeop] There were people with better bodies than me,
so I started feeling a little nervous.
[Emmanuel] Prepare well. It's not gonna be easy.
[Min-jung] Whoever I'm up against, I know I'm going to win.
[Amotti] I'll show them just how scary people who do CrossFit can be.
[Min-su] No matter who I go up against,
I can't imagine losing.
[uplifting music playing]
[Master] Today, you are all gathered here
to find the peak human form. The perfect body.
Here we have just one rule.
You must survive the competition
using nothing but the strength of your own body.
The last contestant,
the final physique left standing,
will win...
300 million won.
- Oh, my God. - [Master] Three hundred million won.
Wow, 300 million.
- [man 1] Wow. - [contestants applauding]
[man 2] That's a lot of money.
- Oh, my gosh. That's insane. - Whoa...
[Master] Good luck. May you survive until the very end.
[Mun-kyeong] I wonder, can I really survive till the end?
[Yeon-su] That's when it really hit me. This is Physical: 100.
[Dae-jin] I only get one shot. A once-in-a-lifetime chance.
[Dam-bi] I'll show them that big things come in small packages.
[ominous bell dinging]
[hip-hop music playing]
[man 1] What's this?
[man 2] What do we got here?
[man 3] Yo!
- [woman 1] What the heck? - [man 4] Wow, no way.
- [applauding] - [woman 2] This is just the first one.
Physical: 100 is insane. Damn.
I've never seen anything like this before ever.
[laughs]
This really is amazing. How did they set all this up?
Where did they get so many?
[intimidating music playing]
[Master] Physical: 100 pre-quest.
The pre-quest is...
[intimidating music intensifying]
...manual treadmill running.
[man 1] There was just an ocean of them.
They were all spread out.
One hundred treadmills. Where'd they find them?
[Dong-hyun] It was like one of those mega gyms in Las Vegas or something.
Man. The scale of it.
They made the impossible a reality.
- [woman 1] This looks incredible. - [man 2] Oh, no.
[contestants groaning]
I've never done this before.
Oh, this sucks.
Bro, I hate it so much.
[contestants groaning]
[man 3] I really suck at this.
I have terrible stamina.
- Manual treadmills are... - Yeah, these things are no joke.
Man, they're way different
- from the standard ones. - Completely.
I guess it depends how you approach it.
- Right? Approach is key. - Totally.
- [man 4] Still beats hanging. - [man 5 laughs]
[man 6] Hope no one gets a heart attack.
[woman 2] We are tasting blood.
I am in trouble. [chuckles]
This is literally hell.
PARK DA-SOL NATIONAL TEAM JUDO PLAYER
Honestly, I was glad to see them.
[Ha-yan] I'm pretty confident when it comes to
my cardiorespiratory endurance, so I liked my odds here.
[woman] Unnie, do you run a lot?
I've never used one of these before, ever.
It's a first for me, too.
My element is water, so this is new to me.
[Ji-hyun] Once I started, I realized how hard it was.
The treadmill runs on your strength alone,
so it felt at least 1.5 times harder to use than a normal treadmill.
[man 1] No one is stoked about this.
[man 2] I mean, who loves running? Seriously.
[Dam-bi] Oh, track and field people are gonna have an edge here, huh?
- [woman] For sure. - [man 3] Are there track athletes here?
[Dam-bi] Yep.
[man 4] She's one, isn't she?
[man 5] She's a 400-meter runner.
[Ji-eun] Since running is my expertise and we were given treadmills,
I thought to myself, "Man, I really hit the jackpot here."
Man, I'm running against a professional runner?
[chuckles]
[Te-se] I went on a special training regimen, just to prep for this.
I figured I had to focus on running in order to really play to my strengths.
As a soccer player, I've had extensive training in this area.
So I think I lucked out on this one.
[Dong-hyun] Man, standing in the back's better.
It's better to run and watch.
[woman] You could glance back as you run.
I'll trip. [chuckles]
[Dong-hyun] I'm confident about muscle endurance
and running for a long time,
so I figured this was gonna be the perfect time to showcase my strengths.
[woman] Oh, I bet Hong Beom-seok would be good at this.
He used to be a firefighter.
And I think he was in the army.
[Beom-seok] I'm still the first and only Korean
to hold the championship title. I won the World Firefighter Games.
And about 80% of my body has been tuned for running.
So I felt pretty confident, since it was a field I excelled at.
CrossFit people would be really good at this.
Yeah, definitely.
[man 1] Amotti's gonna sweep this.
He should be pretty used to it.
[man 2] This is just another day at the gym for people who do CrossFit.
[woman] Yup. Like, as natural as breathing.
AMBER YANG CROSSFITTER
[Amber] To be honest,
this kind of thing was pretty routine for CrossFitters like us.
So I figured it'd be pretty doable.
[intimidating music playing]
[Master] And now, the pre-quest mission will begin.
- [man 1] Yeah! - [deep exhale]
- Man, I'm really scared right now. - [Jae-yoon] The pre-quest mission.
[Master] The pre-quest mission consists of three rounds.
[man 1] Three rounds?
- [man 2] Man, what? - [man 3] What? Now?
[Master] The first round will last for ten minutes.
[man 4] No way.
[Master] All 100 contestants will run.
The distance covered is logged
and the bottom 50 are eliminated.
50 ELIMINATIONS
[Master] ...eliminated.
[contestants' shocked exclaims]
- [man 5] What? - Right away?
[Master] Only the top 50 will survive.
50 SURVIVORS
So it's not just about time.
[man 6] We'll have to run like crazy for ten minutes.
Man, that's intense.
- This is brutal, man. - [man 7] Oh, no.
[Master] The second round will last seven minutes.
Fifty contestants will run and 40 will be eliminated.
Leaving only ten contestants.
[contestants' shocked murmurs]
[man 8] This sounds really hard.
[Master] The third and final round will last five minutes.
The final ten will run
and the winner will be decided.
- [woman 1] Wow. - [man 9] Running?
[Dae-jin] Actually, I was getting worried because these were manual treadmills.
How's this gonna be fair, you know?
That's what I was thinking.
But they're measuring distance, which definitely changes things up.
[Beom-seok] I better not go all out from the start.
So I started calculating my pace inside my head.
[Master] Every contestant participating in the pre-quest
can move on to the next quest.
All contestants will be ranked from 1 to 100 based on how far they ran.
And said rankings will be marked...
on your bodies.
[man 1] That's actually messed up, man. Way too far.
- [man 2] That's really screwed up. - [woman] Wow.
Jeez, it's like we're getting branded or something.
- [man 3] That's gnarly. - [man 4] That's hardcore. Damn.
[Master] And that number will provide you with a significant advantage
as you start your first quest.
[contestants murmur excitedly]
Significant? Wonder how.
[man 1] Guess we gotta go hard then.
Oh, damn it. I really should have used these more.
[man 2] All right. Let's do this, then.
[man 3] I'm gonna run like a dog.
[Dae-jin] I've always been confident in running.
[Amber] Let's get in the top ten.
[man 4] Leave any and all regrets.
[You-in] I'm terrible at running.
However, swimmers take pride in our cardiorespiratory endurance, so.
[Dong-hyun] I was a welterweight when I fought,
but even running against lightweights, I never lost.
I take pride in that.
[Master] Now then, let the game commence.
[man puffs]
[whistle blowing]
[footsteps rumbling]
Let's go!
- [woman 1] We've got this! - [contestants yelling in agreement]
- [woman 2] Come on! - [man] Don't get hurt!
[woman 3] All right.
[Min-su] The thing's actually kind of hard to control.
That really threw me off at first.
[Ho-yeon] I ran for a bit and thought, "This is doable."
LEE HO-YEON MODEL
[man 1] Man, this isn't easy. Oh.
[tense music playing]
[KNUCKS] I kind of got in the zone, and I was really pumped up.
I just got, like, fully zoned in.
[Jong-hun] I was all over the place.
Then, my heart started racing up and down.
KO JONG-HUN POLICE SPECIAL OPERATION UNIT OFFICER
[Yeon-su] My only thought was, "I'm screwed."
"Can I really run that fast for that long?"
[footsteps rumbling]
[Sung-oh] As soon as I started the challenge,
my hamstring cramped up.
WI SUNG-OH TRAINER
Guess this just isn't my day.
[groans in pain]
[Won-hee] My knees hurt.
It was hard to maintain my balance. It started getting to me.
[footsteps rumbling]
[Kyu-ho panting]
[Kyu-ho] I'm not sure if it's because it was my first time doing this,
but this thing was just really hard to control.
I just thought, "Okay, it's impossible for me."
[panting]
[Ji-hyun] I could see Chong Te-se was in front of me.
I knew he would be a good runner since he used to play soccer.
Just as I thought, he killed it.
[Te-se] There was no question for me that I could totally beat these people.
I felt confident that I could make it into the top ten.
[Master] Seven minutes left.
[intense tense music playing]
Keep it up, everyone!
- [contestants shouting] - Come on! Push!
[woman] All right! Go!
[Dam-bi] Weightlifters never have to run for ten minutes straight.
When they said, "Seven minutes left," I already wanted to give up.
[man 1] Kim Dong-hyun was just cruising along at a great speed.
[man 2] The man still got it, that's for sure.
KIM DONG-HYUN MMA FIGHTER
[Hyeong-kyu] Wow, man. That guy really made it look so easy.
I was watching him just take these long strides
and running with force.
Maybe it's 'cause he's a rower, but he was pulling as he ran.
[contestants grunting]
[woman] Keep going. You've got this, come on!
[Jun-hyuk] I wanted to give up so bad.
JANG JUN-HYUK WRESTLER
[man 1] Keep going!
[indistinct encouraging]
[Master] Three minutes.
[woman] Hang in there!
[man 2] Yeah!
[Min-kyung] Three minutes left and I couldn't keep up my pace anymore.
I thought, "Man, this really isn't easy."
[contestants' hyped-up shouts]
[woman] Come on, guys!
[Amber] I realized at some point that I was falling apart.
- [man 1] Don't give up! - [woman 1] Move!
[man 2] Almost there. Let's go!
[man 3] I came this far, so I decided to grit my teeth and hang in there.
[contestants panting]
[woman 2] Almost there!
- [man 4] One minute! - [man 5] One minute! One more!
- [man 4] Let's keep it up! - [man 6] Home stretch!
[Master] One minute.
- [woman 3] Stay strong! - [woman 4] Let's go!
[man 7] Come on!
[intense music playing]
[man 8] One minute felt like a year.
[man 9] We're almost there!
- [man 9] Almost there! - [contestants shouting]
[intense music continues]
[Master] Ten seconds left.
- [man 10] Ten seconds! - [man 11] Okay! Wrapping up!
- [man 12] Keep going. - [contestants shouting]
[whistle blows]
[contestants' exhausted groans]
[contestants panting]
[clears throat]
[Min-jung] My legs wouldn't keep moving.
[exhausted panting]
[man] Damn it!
[Te-se] I was seriously so tired.
It really felt like hell. Yeah.
It was like I was being punished for something.
[groans]
[coughs]
[Dong-hyun] I kept getting phlegm every time I coughed.
But it turned out to be blood.
It just shows how much effort I put into this.
[Master] I will now announce the bottom 50
for round one of the pre-quest mission.
- [man] Wow. - [woman] That's sick.
[deep exhale]
It's so messed up.
Hope I'm not 100.
[Jang-kun] I really gave it my all, too, damn it.
I'd be bummed out.
[Young-ho] I'd be so sad and disappointed. I'm gonna go for it.
Please.
[Master] Here is the result.
[suspenseful music playing]
Wi Sung-oh.
[light clanging off]
[Sung-oh] I figured ranking 100th is better than ranking 90 or 80-something.
Let me tell you this, now my goal is to erase those zeros, you know.
[Master] Lee Kyu-ho.
LEE KYU-HO, ACTOR 99TH PLACE / 828 M
Jang Sung-yeop.
Ju Sung-min.
Jang Jun-hyuk.
I achieved my goal. [chuckles]
I made it to 89th.
[Master] Shin Soo-ji.
Kang So-yeon.
Back in the day, I was so confident in my cardio.
I think it was a huge miscalculation.
[Master] Lee Won-hee.
I expected it, but it still felt awful.
The fact I didn't make it into the top 50, actually, that really hurt.
[lights clanging off]
[Master] Those ranked in the bottom 50 are out
and may not participate in round two.
[rock music playing]
TOP 50
Preliminary quest.
Manual treadmill running.
The second round will have ten survivors
and 40 eliminations.
Ten? Top ten?
- [man 1] Pre-quest mission. - Jeez... Manual.
[Master] The round will last seven minutes.
- [Dong-hyun] Okay. Not too bad. - [woman] Oh, seven minutes.
That's gonna be hard.
No, yeah. That's hardcore.
[Dae-jin] I know myself. I'm a very competitive person,
so I have to come in first.
JUNG DAE-JIN, SPORTS MODEL R1 10TH PLACE
Top ten, I don't know.
Jeez, I honestly don't see it happening.
[Dong-hyun] When I was talking to my colleagues,
I told them that I was just doing it for kicks.
But deep down, I wanted to show everyone what I was made of and how I got here.
[deep exhale]
[Master] The game will start once the whistle blows.
- [man 1] Yeah, let's go! All right! - [whoops]
Let's do this, guys.
[shouts]
[suspenseful music building]
[whistle blows]
- [woman 1] Come on! Move! - [woman 2] Let's go!
- [woman 1] Move it! Come on! Move! - [woman 2] Let's go!
[man 2] Go, go!
[whistle blows]
[woman 3] Wow. They're awesome.
[woman 4] All right. Let's go.
[man 3] Whoa!
AMOTTI, CROSSFITTER R1 6TH PLACE
[man 4] Wow, look at them. They're running even faster than before.
[Kyu-ho] Hot damn. He's a great runner.
[Young-ho] So this is what it takes to make it into the top 50?
[man 5] What's with these people?
Do they not get tired?
[Ye-joo] Jeez, he runs really well.
HONG BEOM-SEOK, FORMER FIREFIGHTER R1 1ST PLACE
His strides were really different.
Not to mention, he was keeping up this really fast pace the whole time.
I mean, even these big dudes were still running.
I started having doubts.
[pensive music playing]
[Sung-bin] It felt like time just stopped.
JO SUNG-BIN, MMA FIGHTER R1 14TH PLACE
[Ki-hyuk] I wanted to die.
It was-- I mean, we shaved three minutes off, right?
But somehow seven minutes felt way longer than ten.
[Tae-bum] The first thought that crossed my mind
was that hanging challenge would've been way better.
- [Master] Five minutes left. - [woman 1] Five minutes!
[indistinct encouraging]
[man 1] Hang in there, guys! Hang in there!
LEE JANG-KUN KABADDI PLAYER
[man 2] Keep going!
KIM DONG-HYUN MMA FIGHTER
AMOTTI CROSSFITTER
[Amotti] I was still doing okay. I know how to pace myself.
So instead of using it all, I decided to save my strengths,
so I could unleash it all at the very end.
[man] Man, these people are not kidding around.
Let's go, people in their forties!
[Ki-jun] Let's go, people in their forties!
All right, Kang Ki-jun!
KANG KI-JUN, PORTER R1 3RD PLACE
[You-in] So, he just kept on shouting as he ran.
"Let's go, people in their forties!"
But he was running better than the people in their twenties.
I run about three times a week.
And then for fun on the weekends, I run marathons.
[Ki-jun] So I figure, I'll run like I always run.
Keeping my eye on the prize and just aim for the top ten.
KANG KI-JUN PORTER
[man 1] Come on!
- [woman 1] Let's do it! - [man 2 cheers]
[woman 2] Whoa, Ji-eun's running really well.
[man 3] Track and field, am I right?
KIM JI-EUN TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETE
[Ji-eun] This was my time. I felt like my pride as a track athlete
would take a serious blow if I didn't really show my stuff here.
So I ran like hell.
[panting]
I wanted the advantage.
I wanted my edge over the competition.
PARK HA-YAN HANDBALL PLAYER
[woman 1] Damn, that lady in the front is killing it, for real.
[Ha-yan] As it stands, I actually work out more now than when I was still playing.
So I set a personal goal to place first among the women.
[man 1] Get those knees up!
- [Master] Three minutes left. - [woman 2] Almost there!
- [man 2] Three minutes, guys! Let's go! - [woman 3] Three minutes!
[man 3] So close. Come on!
Yeah!
Do it! Go!
[man 4] Keep moving. Don't stop!
KIM HYEONG-KYU NATIONAL TEAM BOXER
[Hyeong-kyu] That's when I started running out of breath.
People up front were running so well.
So I kept trying to catch up to them and that seriously messed up my pace.
[woman 4] You can do it!
Shit.
[Young-ho] Man, I'm about to swear.
[man 5] Let's go!
Oh, damn it. This is so exhausting.
POWER WHO YAMI COSPLAYER
[YAMI] As the minutes passed,
I honestly felt like just tapping out and lying down.
But none of the people in front of me stopped running.
I wanted to stop, but everyone else was still running
like their lives were depending on it or something.
So I couldn't stop.
[Amotti] I started thinking "Maybe I can rest a little."
But as soon as I thought that, I realized...
if I slow down, they'll catch up.
So I decided to keep going
and try to cover as much distance as I possibly could.
- [man 1] Hang in there! - [woman 1] Don't give up!
- [woman 2] Just keep going! - [Master] One minute.
[man 2] Almost there!
- [woman 3] Let's go, guys! Let's go! - [man 3] Just a little more!
[man 4] How are they? They're still running.
HAM YOUNG-JIN POLICE OFFICER
[Young-jin] As it went, the last minute was the hardest.
[Jee-hyuk] I have to run faster than the people in front of me.
I was determined. So I just kept running like a madman.
- [man shouts] - [woman] Here we go! Come on!
[Ji-hyun] I knew I had to keep moving.
I had to make it into the top ten no matter what.
[Dong-hyun] This is it. The only chance to show them.
[man 1] Final stretch, guys. Final 30 seconds!
- [Master] Thirty seconds. - [man 1] Let's go!
[shouts]
- [man 2] Keep it up! - [woman 1] All right!
[man 2] Keep going! Come on!
[man 3] Andre!
- [woman 2] Come on! - [man 4] Going even faster now!
[man 4] Let's go!
[man 4] Ten seconds!
- [Master] Ten seconds. - [man 4] Ten seconds! Come on!
[contestants' encouraging shouts]
- [grunts] - [woman 3] Come on!
- [woman 4] You've got this! - [man 5] Let's go, handball!
- [shouts] - Whoa!
[fast-paced electronic music playing]
[contestants] Five, four, three, two, one.
- [whistle blows] - [woman 5] Wow, amazing!
- [whistle blows] - [contestants applauding]
[woman 6] Man, you guys are really good at this.
[woman 7] That was so cool.
[man 6] That final stretch was insane. That was crazy.
[contestants panting]
[Jang-kun] I gave absolutely everything I had at the end.
[panting]
I'm so tired. [chuckles]
[Ha-yan] I'm so proud of myself.
I didn't give up halfway and kept running until the end.
[Master] Announcing the bottom 40
for round two of the pre-quest mission.
[man] Man, I wonder who's in the top ten.
[Master] The 40 individuals announced
may not take part in round three.

[Master] Jung Dae-jin.
[groans]

while still gaining the advantage.

[Beom-seok] There were ten people left standing at the end.
I took a look at every single one of their faces. One by one.
And I could tell that none of them really looked like runners.
So then I felt like I could get first place.
[Master] The final third round of the manual treadmill run
provides a powerful advantage...
going into the first quest.
This round will last five minutes.
[deep exhale]

They're still so light on their feet. [chuckles]
[man 4] Their strides are just different.
[man 5] Where is the energy coming from?
[tense music playing]
[Dam-bi] They just ran for ten minutes,
and then they ran for another seven minutes.
I mean, they're incredible.
[breathing heavily]
[man 6] Wow, Dong-hyun's strides are something else.
[man 7] He's so tall, he's covering so much ground.
- [man 8] He's fast. - [man 9] Insanely fast. It's like...
KIM DONG-HYUN MMA FIGHTER

[man 12] Hong Beom-seok, he just kept it steady like a robot.
He just seemed so stable. His strides and breathing.
It was pure perfection.
[Beom-seok panting]
[Beom-seok] Since it's something I'm good at,
I'm gonna give it my all,
so I don't have any regrets like I did in Season 1.
[man 13] All right, let's go!
[man 13] Kick it up a notch, baby.
[heavy breathing]
[man 14] They're getting tired.
HA MOO-KYOUNG HANDBALL PLAYER
[Moo-kyoung] I was getting worn out, because I used up
too much stamina in round two.
[Woo-jin] "Grit your teeth and keep running."
That was the only thought in my head.
PARK WOO-JIN COAST GUARD OFFICER
[man 1] He's so light on his feet.
Even his breathing's light.
AMOTTI CROSSFITTER
[woman 1] Wow, he looks like he's floating through space or something.

[woman 1] Fifteen seconds!
[contestants shouting encouragements]
[man 19] Give it your all!
[man 20] Ten seconds!
[Te-se] Time started moving so slowly, and ten seconds felt like 30 seconds.
[Amotti] I just thought, "Man, this is insane."
[Beom-seok] I think I pushed myself too hard in the beginning.
And it was a battle against myself more than anything.
[slow tense music playing]
[Dong-hyun] No one dies from running.
Let's do this. Let's show them that the Stun Gun is here.
[man 1] Let's go!
[man 2] Almost there!
[woman 1] Ten seconds!

[panting]
[man 7] Are you sure you're not a robot? 'Cause I'm not convinced.
[man 8] That was awesome. That's just-- Damn.
[man 9] How is he still standing?
Hyung? Breathe.
I'm totally fine.
[Sung-bin laughs]
[groans]
Those ten seconds felt like forever.
[Te-se] Like 20 seconds passed, but it was five.
[Master] The final round of the manual treadmill run
has come to an end.
Now,
I will announce the final winner after tallying the scores for all rounds.
- [man 1] Whoa! - [woman 1] Wow.
[Sung-hoe] Man, I wonder who's in first.
[man 2] Amotti. I bet it's Amotti.
[man 3] Amotti seemed to have great cardiorespiratory and muscular endurance.
[woman 2] I don't know. I'm pretty sure it's gotta be Hong Beom-seok.
[Jee-hyuk] I was going to take first place no matter what.
[Dong-hyun] I take pride in my ability to run
longer than anyone else without slowing down.
