Jo Jin-hyeong didn’t win the title of “Strongest Man” for nothing. His fellow contestant Hong Beom Seok on Physical 100 failed to understand this, instead challenging him and paying the price.
So, who is this Korean “Strongest Man”? Continue reading this Jo Jin-hyeong Bio to find out.
Jo Jin-hyeong In Netflix’s Physical 100
Netflix’s Physique 100 gathers 100 contestants — including Jo Jin-hyeong — of various ethnicities, ages and genders and pits them against each other to prove their physical strength and ultimately for a chance to win the title of “most perfect physique” plus 300 million won (approx. USD 243 thousand).
In the first ep, Jin-hyeong and the other contestants are placed in a large chamber where plaster casts of their bodies are placed on marble plinths, arranged in a concentric circle around a fountain. They then walk around, admiring each other’s plasters/real bodies, objectifying and judging each other.
So, for the first challenge, the participants were then asked to hold on to a suspended device that was lifted into the air. Through this, the participants quickly realized that the performance not only tested brute strength but also endurance and mental strength.
Then, based on how long they last, the players are then ranked from 100 to 1, and in that order, they have to choose who they will face in the first quest — a ball fight.
Surprisingly, Hong Beom Seok, who placed 28th in the first challenge, chose Jin-hyeong because he said he didn’t do his best in previous challenges and wanted to show his fellow contestants what he was capable of. But he doesn’t know that Jin-hyeong is more than he bargained for.
Even a dazed Jin-hyeong says that he expected someone similar to him to pick him for the match. Nevertheless, he takes over the ball, throws it aside, and calls Beom Seok to fight. Naturally, in a little over 20 seconds Jin-hyeong threw Beom Seok to the ground and won the match.
In total, 50 matches take place in the same two arenas, like The Challenge.
