Jo Jin-hyeong didn’t win the title of “Strongest Man” for nothing. His co-contestant Hong Beom Seok on Physical 100 failed to understand this, instead, challenge him and paid the price.
So, who is this Korean “Strongest Man”? Keep reading this Jo Jin-hyeong Bio to find out.
Jo Jin-hyeong On Netflix’s Physical 100
Netflix’s Physical 100 gathered 100 contestants — including Jo Jin-hyeong — from various ethnicities, ages, and genders and pitted 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 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.
So, for the first challenge, the contestants then were asked to hang on to 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.
Later, 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.
Surprisingly, Hong Beom Seok, who placed 28th in the first challenge, chose Jin-hyeong because he said he didn’t do best in the previous challenge and wished to show fellow contestants what he was capable of. But little did he know that Jin-hyeong was much more than he bargained for.
Even stupefied Jin-hyeong said that he was expecting someone of a similar build to him to choose him for the match. Nevertheless, he took charge of the ball, threw it aside, and called Beom Seok for a fight. Naturally, within 20 seconds bigger Jin-hyeong flung Beom Seok to the ground and won the match.
Overall, 50 matches took place in the same two arenas, just like The Challenge.
