It has been confirmed that PD Jang Ho-gi, who generated a national syndrome and explosive popularity in Mongolia with the Netflix variety show 'Physical: Asia', met with the Mongolian prime minister while producing a spin-off program. It is a monumental moment that shows the popularity of 'Physical: Asia' in Mongolia.
On the 9th, OSEN reported that PD Jang Ho-gi recently visited Mongolia to film the spin-off version of 'Physical: Asia', 'Physical: Welcome to Mongolia', and a meeting with the prime minister was arranged.
'Physical: Welcome to Mongolia' is a friendship travelogue of the Korean team and the Mongolian team that faced off in the 'Physical: Asia' finals. It is a program that captures what happens when the Mongolian team, which had visited Korea for filming, invites the Korean team to their hometown Mongolia this time, and it is set to premiere on the 24th.
The reason their meeting is even more anticipated is that 'Physical: Asia' is enjoying tremendous popularity in Mongolia. The athletes who competed as the Mongolian team are reportedly being treated as "national heroes".
Moreover, this trip drew attention because in the 'Physical: Asia' finale, leader Erhenhgbayar said, "If I receive the prize money for winning, I will use this money to invite the Korean team and take them on a trip to Mongolia," and Kim Dong-hyun responded, "We will go to Mongolia with our prize money," creating a promise.
To keep their promise to each other, the two teams who met again in Mongolia will show a "real Mongolian-style" trip through a travel schedule personally planned by Mongolian traditional wrestling champion Erhenhgbayar, featuring places where real Mongolian people go on outings and the restaurants they visit, rather than the images often seen in Mongolian content.
A variety of sights will also be revealed, including the special training methods passed down by Mongolian traditional wrestling champion Erhenhgbayar and Mongolia's vast grasslands where a thousand horses run and play. Ochir, a member of Cirque du Soleil who is active as an actor in Mongolia, is expected to present Mongolian home-cooked dishes he prepared at home to his friends, attracting interest in what the taste will be like. In addition, a special guest who will surprise everyone is set to join, adding to curiosity about their identity.
With confirmation that PD Jang Ho-gi, who led the 'Physical' series, held an impromptu meeting with the Mongolian prime minister, anticipation for the upcoming 'Physical: Welcom to Mongol' is also growing.
Meanwhile, the 'Physical: Welcome to Mongolia' spin-off of 'Physical: Asia' was produced in a total of four episodes, and episodes 1 and 2 will be released on Netflix on Dec. 24 (Wed). Episodes 3 and 4 can be seen on Dec. 31 (Wed). <
