Netflix's 'Physical: Asia' is set to reveal episodes 7-9 today, featuring high-stakes team representative battles where Korea fights for survival.

The upcoming episodes will determine the four countries advancing to the fourth quest through fierce team competitions. Korea, placed in Group A alongside Australia and the Philippines, faces a perilous showdown. In the previous episodes (5-6), both Korea and the Philippines were tied for second place, leaving their fate hanging by a thread in the final 'sack throw' game, pushing them to the edge of elimination.

Against Australia's formidable strongman, Eddie Williams, Korea's AmoTee and the Philippines' Justine Hernandez will go head-to-head in a critical match for their teams' survival. The tension is palpable as viewers wonder which nation will overcome this challenge to advance to the fifth quest.

Meanwhile, Group B will see an intense clash between Japan, Mongolia, and Türkiye. The first game, 'Pillar Jump,' promises a thrilling contest where a single mistake can decide the outcome. Much anticipation is building around whether Japan can achieve revenge against Türkiye, who defeated them in the finals of the first quest, 'Territory Capture.' The competition is expected to be neck-and-neck, with incredible displays of endurance in 'Stone Changguu Hold,' remarkable strength in 'Long Hang,' and all-out effort in the 'Sack Throw.'

With four of the eight national flags already down in 'Physical: Asia,' only four countries will survive to determine the final three in the fourth quest, 'Battle Rope Relay.' Featuring three representatives each, this quest demands extreme physical stamina and skill, making each nation's strategy a captivating point to watch.

Director Jang Ho-gi commented, "You will witness quests, strategic battles, and overwhelming physical competitions that might surpass even the previous 'Physical' season," adding, "No one's survival is guaranteed here. Please watch and see which three countries will make it to the end."

As the first-ever national competition in the 'Physical' series, 'Physical: Asia' has garnered a massive global response. Upon its release on October 28th, it recorded 5,200,000 viewing hours in its first week, ranking third in the Global Top 10 TV Shows (Non-English) category. It also entered the Top 10 lists in 44 countries, achieving the number one spot in eight of them. Notably, it landed in the Top 10 in participating countries like Korea, Thailand, Türkiye, Indonesia, Australia, and the Philippines, reaffirming its global popularity.

The extreme physical war where only four nations can survive, 'Physical: Asia' episodes 7-9, will be available worldwide on Netflix today (11th) at 5 PM.

Netizens are expressing their anticipation, with comments like, "AmoTee is amazing! I really hope Korea wins and advances again!", "This competition is so intense, it's making my palms sweat. Go Team Korea!", and "The foreign athletes have incredible physiques, but I hope Korea can keep up."
