Netflix Variety Show 'Physical: Asia' Unveils Intense First Look Video!

Netflix variety show 〈Physical: Asia〉 has raised expectations by announcing a massive quest that captures Korean and Asian cultures. The physical war 〈Physical: Asia〉 featuring 8 Asian countries competing under their flags is the first national competition of the globally beloved 〈Physical〉 series. It promises thrilling matches from athletes of diverse sports representing Korea, Japan, Thailand, Mongolia, Turkey, Indonesia, Australia, and the Philippines.

If the first season of 〈Physical: 100〉 held fierce physical competitions in the world of the Greek temple Pantheon, then 〈Physical: 100 Season 2 - Underground〉 received great love with upgraded physical competitions set in the vast world of an underground mine. This time, 〈Physical: Asia〉 will engage in a more immersive physical competition, featuring a massive quest that encompasses the diverse history and culture of Asia, centered around the host country, Korea.

The first look video released on the 26th showcases the explosive physical confrontations of 48 athletes from 8 Asian countries, along with a massive quest that embodies Korean and Asian cultures. From the intense scene of a defense captain guarding a palace and a judge wearing a hat inspired by a fearsome grim reaper standing in the shadow of a bright moon illuminating the pitch-black darkness, it is striking. The majestic game begins grandly with the guardian deity Jangseung, the traditional large drum, and the Haetae that distinguishes right from wrong, revealing the grandeur unique to the 〈Physical〉 series. Additionally, the fierce physical clashes of each country, set against the backdrop of 'the place where the sun rises,' one of the origins of Asia, and quests that involve enduring enormous Jangseung or pulling unusually heavy stones promise an overwhelming scale. Above all, the addition of grand music made with traditional Korean instruments elevates the dopamine of the physical competition.
