Did ‘Physical: 100’ Winner Woo Jin Yong Receive Special Treatment From Netflix?

"Physical: 100" winner Woo Jin Yong is caught up in another issue after former reporter turned YouTuber Lee Jin Ho raised speculation about the reality star.

There's no doubt how the Netflix survival TV show took the world by storm - from its unique concept and interesting participants, viewers were hooked on every episode of the season. The 9-episode reality show featured 100 participants, who are the best of the best in sports and fitness.

"Physical: 100" contestants include Olympians, national athletes, sports icons, YouTubers, models, and more, but only one took home the whopping 300 million KRW or 245,000 USD. It was none other than snowboarder and CrossFitter Woo Jin Yong.

Unfortunately, after the finale episode aired, the Netflix show and Jin Yong were caught up in an allegation. Following the winner's response regarding claims about manipulation of the final game, a YouTuber sparks speculation about special treatment.

As obtained by a media outlet, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho posted a video on his channel, titled, "The creepy intervention of the production team that came out of the tail of Ouroboros," discussing an alleged special treatment that Woo Jin Yong got on the show.

Moreover, he mentioned that there is an issue regarding the order of players.

"This is structurally a game where it is impossible for Jeong Han Sam, who is number 3, to catch up with Woo Jin Yong, who is number 2, so the advantage or disadvantage is sharply divided," he explained.

In addition, the YouTuber shared that the order is determined by drawing lots so it is difficult to see the pros and cons of it.

"Structurally, number 2 should follow number 1, but in the semifinals, number 1 was supposed to follow number 2," he raised, adding that the order was set through draw lots, but the direction of turning 180 degrees was changed just before departure.

To recall, the Tail of Ouroboros is similar to a catch-the-tail game, where four contestants start running at the same time and need to tag the player in front of them to win the round.
