For us mere mortals, working out is something you do because it’s good for your health — or for that delicious steam room gossip. But for the chiseled athletes, fitness instructors and actual Olympians of Physical: 100, fitness is a way of life. In Netflix’s first Korean reality survival series, 100 contestants in peak physical shape compete in a series of grueling tests of strength and endurance with the hope of being the sole survivor of the fittest. Now when we say “peak physical shape,” we’re not talking your average Gatorade-pounding gym bro. Over nine episodes, these brawny demigods who tout an unreal amount of strength will go head-to-head, faced with challenges such as dangling from a bar suspended above a pool to Ssireum — a traditional form of Korean wrestling. So before you step into the ring, here’s everything you can expect from Physical: 100.

The show will release two episodes a week starting on Jan. 24. There are nine episodes total, with the finale airing on Feb. 21.

Among the contestants is K-pop star Sunmi's backup dancer and Single’s Inferno Season 1 star Cha Hyun-seung , actor Kang Han (Mr. Trot Season 2) and rapper Ovan. There are also a handful of professional athletes, such as pro boxer Shin Bomire, Japanese mixed martial artist and 2002 Asian Games gold medal winner Yoshihiro Akiyama, 2018 skeleton gold medalist Yun Sung-bin (also known as the “Iron Man of South Korea”) and former Korean Navy SEAL and sniper Agent H.
The “final physique standing” wins 300 million won (about $250,000 USD).
