How Team Korea secured the title

Based on the episode results from Netflix Physical: Asia, the competition progressed through multiple stages.

In the Preliminary Game, the Manual Treadmill Relay concluded with Korea covering 1,114 meters, Japan covering 1,024 meters, and Mongolia covering 917 meters. Korea earned an advantage for Quest 5.

Quest 5 required transporting a 2.2-ton supply wagon through an arena, lowering a bridge by rope climb, navigating uneven terrain, breaking a gate, and raising a drawbridge.

Korea completed the quest in 17 minutes 53 seconds, Mongolia in 25 minutes 15 seconds, while Japan did not finish within the one-hour limit, resulting in Japan’s elimination.

The Final Quest consisted of up to three games. Korea won the Wall-Pushing Match by taking the second and third rounds after Mongolia won the first.

Both teams passed all five rounds of the Iron Ball Dragging Match, leading to a simultaneous tie-breaker race. Korea reached their flag first, eliminating Mongolia.

Team Korea was then declared the winners of Physical: Asia, receiving the one billion won prize.

The final roster included Kim Dong-hyun, Kim Min-jae, Jang Eun-sil, Amotti, Choi Seung-yeon, and Yun Sung-bin, based on the team list shown in the episode.
