After the Netflix show 'Physical: 100' was embroiled in controversy over past acts of assaulting performers after the show ended and controversy over manipulation of the finals.
In the last episode of 'Physical: 100', which was released on the 21st of last month, Woo Jin-yong, who is a crossfit player defeated Jung Hae-min, a cyclist, won the grand prize with 300 million won in the final of the rope pull.
However, there were some rumors in the media that the winner was changed when the final was held multiple times due to issues like broadcasting equipment. However, the production team had made a statement: "There is a pause and resume period when the game starts to check for audio issues and listen to the opinions of the players. But there was no rematching that overturned the result of the show."
However, when the show's runner-up Haemin Jung revealed in an interview with Sunday Newspaper on the 28th of last month that the production team had interfered with the finale and replayed it twice. The Controversy over fabrication arose again.
Jeong Hae-min said: "I’m the one who started the game, but the difference was too huge. The big brothers watching on the screen said the speed difference was about 3 times. When we passed in the middle of the game, Woo Jin -yong held up the stopped game and the production team said, 'There's too much noise.' We couldn't use the video to broadcast because of audio problems," he said.
He continued, "I don't want a rematch or money, and I hope there is no attack on the winner, Woo Jin-yong," but "Until now, the only thing I wanted from the production team is the reason why I lost. But if it was broadcast, I would understand everything, whether it's a rematch or not. "I can leave it as a memory. I am an athlete. Things could happen, but it is difficult to accept it."
Meanwhile, 'Physical: 100', a Netflix original, is an extreme survival diversion where 100 people pride themselves on being physically fit to find the best body with the strongest physique.
However, after the end of the show, controversies about the past of school violence and assaulting the girlfriends of the performers broke out. And this time, they got into trouble because of the controversy over manipulation on the result of final's night.
