The intense physical warfare of ‘Physical: Asia’ has officially begun.

Today, April 4th, the competition heats up with the first elimination round in ‘Physical: Asia,’ a battle of physical prowess among 8 Asian nations.

The high-stakes deathmatch, ‘Ball Scramble,’ will determine which countries advance, with Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines – all having lost the previous ‘Shipwreck Transport’ quest – fighting for survival. Only two of these four nations can emerge victorious.

‘Ball Scramble,’ a signature challenge of the ‘Physical’ series, adopts a best-of-five format in this national team competition, incorporating both one-on-one and two-on-two matches. The introduction of two-on-two ‘Ball Scramble’ for the first time in the series promises an even more dynamic and unpredictable contest.

This particular game is known for allowing underdogs to triumph through skill and determination, regardless of physical size, offering an explosive surge of dopamine. Adding to the excitement, a matchup between boxing legend Manny Pacquiao and Thai Muay Thai champion Superbon has been teased, amplifying anticipation.

Following the elimination round, the third quest, ‘Team Representative Battle,’ will commence. This will pit the two surviving nations from the deathmatch against the four teams – Korea, Mongolia, Türkiye, and Australia – who secured their spot by winning the ‘Shipwreck Transport’ quest, making it a six-nation showdown.

The ‘Team Representative Battle’ quest is set to feature massive challenges inspired by Korean traditions, designed to heighten viewer immersion. Four games – ‘Extended Hanging,’ ‘Doljangs-seung Endurance,’ ‘Sack Toss,’ and ‘Pillar Leap’ – will test the limits of human endurance. The outcome will depend on the diverse physical capabilities and strategic planning of each nation.

Points will be awarded based on performance in each of the four games, with the lowest-ranked nation being eliminated. Viewers can expect a thrilling drama as the competition unfolds.

Episodes 5 and 6 of ‘Physical: Asia’ will be available worldwide on Netflix starting today, April 4th, at 5 PM.

Korean netizens are buzzing with excitement, with comments like 'The real physical battles are finally starting!', 'I'm curious to see who gets eliminated between Japan and Thailand,' and 'I have to watch the Manny Pacquiao vs. Superbon fight live!' showing high anticipation.
