‘Physical: 100’ Controversy Sparks Anger Among Viewers + Public Wants Woo Jin Yong to Return the Trophy

"Physical: 100" winner Woo Jin Yong is facing criticisms after the Netflix survival show got caught up in a controversy.

After the finale episode was aired, the 9-episode reality series faced countless allegations, including manipulation claims regarding the last round.

Released on January 24, "Physical: 100" took the world by storm as Netflix introduced a hundred participants who would battle out to see who among them would win the 300 million KRW (245,000 USD).

Only the strongest, the fittest and someone who has strong stamina could win the game, and surprisingly, one of the underdogs Woo Jin Yong became the first winner of the survival-reality show.

Unfortunately, he is currently making headlines after first runner-up Jung Hae Min exposed the truth behind the alleged manipulation.

Olympic cyclist Jung Hae Min breaks his silence after a rumor sparked that the last challenge was done multiple times and accused the production team of manipulating the game.

During his interview with news portal Ilyo, the athlete said that he initially wanted to keep things to himself and accept the result of the show but what prompted him to speak up is Netflix's explanation behind the claims.

It comes after the production team of the hit show mentioned in an interview that no re-match occurred. Moreover, producer and showrunner Jang Ho Gi also pointed out that the allegation was a lie.

After hearing this, he considered his stance and stressed in his interview about "the truth and what is a lie" from his point of view. He said that Woo Jin Yong stopped the show midway after complaints regarding his equipment making a lot of noise.

Following his revelation, viewers were dismayed about the outcome of the show with some attacking "Physical: 100" Woo Jin Yong on Instagram.
