The Ultimate Battle for National Honor is Here
From the creators of the global phenomenon Physical: 100 comes a competition more intense and emotionally charged than ever before. Physical: Asia is now streaming on Netflix, and it has completely changed the game. Forget individual glory; this is a war for national honor where one misstep can send an entire country home. With a staggering ₩1 billion Korean won (approximately $700,000) on the line, the stakes have never been higher.
The series brings together elite athletes from Korea, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Mongolia, Turkey, and Australia to compete in a series of grueling quests designed to test the limits of human strength and endurance.
A Roster of Legends and Returning Fan Favorites
The lineup for Physical: Asia is packed with globally recognized sports icons, confirming this is the must-watch competition of the year. Each team is captained by a formidable athlete, creating epic showdowns between legends.
Meet the Team Captains
- Team Philippines: Manny Pacquiao (Boxing)
- Team Australia: Robert Whittaker (UFC)
- Team Thailand: Superbon (Muay Thai)
- Team Korea: Kim Dong-hyun (MMA)
- Team Japan: Yushin Okami (MMA)
Adding to the excitement, fans will see familiar faces return to the arena. Physical: 100 Season 1 standout Yun Sung-bin and Season 2 winner Amotti are back, joining Team Korea in its quest for dominance. Their presence confirms the series’ commitment to assembling the absolute best in physical prowess.
Brutal Challenges and an Unforgiving New Rule
What makes Physical: Asia so terrifyingly compelling is its core twist: this isn’t just about individual survival. In a devastating new rule, if a single member of a team is eliminated, their entire country’s team is immediately disqualified. This dynamic forces athletes to rely on teamwork and strategy, as one person’s failure means failure for all.
The challenges are bigger and more elaborate than ever, taking place on massive sets constructed across an area the size of five soccer fields. Competitors will face everything from a king-of-the-mountain battle on a shifting sand dune to a desperate scramble for supplies on a sinking shipwreck.
Producer Jang Ho-gi warned of the intensity, telling The National, “By bringing national pride into the equation, the battles will be more intense, more emotional, and more unforgettable than ever.”
How to Watch Physical: Asia
You don’t want to be the one left out of the conversation. The first four episodes of Physical: Asia are already available to stream on Netflix. The remainder of the 12-episode season will be released in batches every Tuesday, ensuring the suspense builds week after week. As alliances form and rivalries ignite, which nation will rise to conquer all and claim the title of the first-ever champion of Physical: Asia?
