Physical: Asia is a South Korean reality competition series on Netflix, serving as a spin-off of the popular show Physical: 100. The series brought together 48 contestants from eight Asian countries, along with participants from Australia and Turkey, to compete in demanding physical challenges. Their goal was to earn the title of possessing the ideal physique and win a grand prize of one billion South Korean won.
The series is notable for expanding the Physical: 100 franchise into a pan-Asian and transcontinental format, highlighting its global appeal and setting the stage for further international adaptations. Its intense competition and diverse cast have drawn significant viewership and media attention, making it a trending topic in entertainment and fitness circles.
Recently, Physical: Asia has been in the news following its finale, which saw Team Korea triumph over other national teams, including Mongolia, in a closely watched final battle. News coverage has featured post-finale insights, such as a celebratory gathering between the Korean and Mongolian teams and an interview with the Korean team's captain about the overwhelming fan response. The show's prominence was further underscored by a regional marketing campaign partnership announced with a beverage brand.
