Seol Ki-Kwan On Netflix’s Physical 100

If you love The Squid Game (the show or the series) then you’ll love Physical 100, where 100 contestants, including Seol Ki-Kwan, from various ethnicities, ages, and gender come together to compete against each other and prove their physical strength. But it’s not just the title of “most perfect physique” that the victor takes home. They are also entitled to the winning money of 300 million won (approx USD 243 thousand).

“Fight to the death. Survive to the end.” These were the words that appeared in the show’s trailer. The contestants competed to survive purely with their physical strength.

In the first ep, Seol and other contestants were placed in a massive space where plaster casts of their torsos sat on marble pedestals, arranged in concentric circles around a fountain. They then walked around, admiring each other’s plaster/actual bodies, objectifying and judging each other.

Later, for the first challenge, the contestants then hung onto a suspended apparatus lifted in the air. Through this, the participants quickly realized that the show was not only a test of brute strength but also endurance and mental strength. Finally, based on how long they lasted, the players were then placed in order from 100 to 1, and in order, they got to choose who they’ll face in the first quest — a  fight over a ball.

Overall, 50 matches took place in the same two arenas, just like The Challenge. Yet Physical 100 stood apart from other gaming shows staging these in much more interesting ways and with a massive cast.

Before the show premiered on January 24, 2023, Seol took to his IG to write, “It’s going to be crazy, but the fight of Korea’s physical tops. Fight to the death and survive to the end. Regardless of gender, age, or race.”
