Legendary Physical players' full-scale national competition begins.
The Physical war featuring eight Asian countries under their flags, 'Physical: Asia', finally opens today (28th) with the first national competition in the 'Physical' series.
With a vast world and quests depicting Korea and Asian cultures teased, the first quest is the 'territory conquest' in which players from eight countries fight to seize territories atop a giant sandcastle. It is expected to be an intense search battle where each country's strength can be assessed. The 'territory conquest' will be an unpredictable match decided not only by powerful strength but also by each country's hidden strategies and teamwork, and it is expected to trigger a dopamine explosion.
The following second quest is an extreme 'shipwreck transport' in which teams must move more boxes and sacks from a giant wreck. The diverse tactical battles of each Asian country with rich cultures will make it impossible to look away even for a moment.
Producer Jang Hogi said, "We had a hard time gathering people who are really difficult to bring together," and added, "Numerous great matches and reversal stories will unfold. Because it is a national competition, the competition was fierce, but regardless of the results, please show interest and warm support for all participants from each country who competed with their best effort."
Physical: Asia is hosted by Korea, which becomes stronger the more it sticks together and never gives up, and features Japan with meticulous competitors, Thailand with the Muay Thai spirit, Mongolia the giant of the steppe, Türkiye the descendants of warriors, Indonesia with explosive energy, Australia with overwhelming physicality, and the Philippines with the blood of champions — eight Asian countries, each fielding six players, for a total of 48 participants.
Foremost among them is the legendary Filipino Manny Pacquiao, who made boxing history by winning titles in eight weight classes, followed by Japan's Yushin Okami, who holds the most UFC wins in Asia, Australia's former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, Korea's first UFC fighter 'Stun Gun' Kim Dong-hyun, and other legendary players from across Asia who will engage in fierce real-match battles.
The Korean team, centered on Kim Dong-hyun, will include former skeleton national team gold medalist Yun Sung-bin, ssireum champion Kim Min-jae, 'Physical: 100 Season 2 - Underground' winner Amotti, former wrestling national team member and 'Physical: 100 Season 1' standout Jang Eun-sil, and CrossFit Asia No. 1 Choi Seung-yeon. Also expected to appear are traditional sports athletes from each country, such as Korean ssireum, Mongolian wrestling, Türkiye oil wrestling and Thai Muay Thai.
The first through fourth episodes of 'Physical: Asia', which open the grand gateway to the Physical war fought under national flags, will be released on Netflix today (28th).
