Season 2 of Physical: 100, a program in which 100 contestants compete to find the most perfect body, has successfully concluded with the release of its final episode. Physical: The 100 Season 2 gained great popularity immediately after its release, ranking first in Netflix’s Global Top Ten Non-English TV Shows. Let’s talk about the secret to the popularity of Physical: The 100 Season 2, which captured the hearts of viewers by showing off its various charms, with Kim Dong-hyun, a hot contestant. welcome. It’s an honor to have you on our news channel, welcome.
[김동현]
I am also honored.
[앵커]
The final episode was released this week. It feels like you’ve completed a long journey, so let’s hear your thoughts briefly first.
[김동현]
It’s been about 6 years since I competed as a martial arts athlete. There is still a burning desire to win within me. After we finished filming last year, I couldn’t sleep for a while. There are so many things I regret. But after watching the broadcast this time, I couldn’t sleep again because of my competitive spirit. I am solving this problem by exercising as much as I did when I was a player.
[앵커]
Since then, many fans have said that a lot of photos and videos of them working out have been posted on social media. What were you so disappointed about?
[김동현]
I’m not the type of person to feel sad and regret after a match is over. I don’t know if I’ll ever have an opportunity like this again, but I’ll have to prepare. I was happiest when I always lived with the mindset of preparing for competition. So, I do my best and wait for the will of heaven. I have to do my best with this mindset, and because I didn’t do that, I thought I failed. I felt inadequate and worked really hard… Although I am not currently active as a martial arts athlete, there will be more physical competitions in the future. If so, I am training hard with the mindset of being an active athlete.
[앵커]
Perhaps that’s why people around me have recently commented that my body is in better shape than when I was on active duty?
[김동현]
When I was a player, I did my best and worked out almost without a day off. Was I not trying enough? Because I’m almost 10 years older than I was back then. However, I am also looking for the cause as I see that I have improved physically and in terms of my records compared to my previous records. It’s better than it was then.
[앵커]
Let’s also talk about what’s inside the broadcast program. First of all, there are quite a few survival programs in Korea, such as singing and dancing. A survival program was conducted with the concept of finding the best body. I am quite curious about the background of the appearance. Have you been contacted?
[김동현]
When I saw Choo Seong-hoon, who is close to me, participate, I had no idea what it was like, but after watching the broadcast, I realized that this was a competition for me. The mission that is so famous that it is said to be the most signature mission is ball capture, where players take the ball from each other. This is because, even when I was a mixed martial artist, I was best at fighting against each other, even in mixed martial arts. This is a competition for me, so if there is a competition called physical competition, I want to go out and win, this is the next problem, and I really want to try to steal the ball, so if it happens again, I will definitely participate. Stealing the ball, I saw that one thing and did it.
[앵커]
When you received an offer to appear, did you say that you would do it right away without hesitation?
[김동현]
Yes, I have the confidence to stick with anyone when it comes to winning the ball, so I have my own nickname, Cicada. So let’s show this, with this mindset. I think I did it with the mindset of giving it a try with a light heart and not thinking too much about it.
[앵커]
That mission is still showing up on the screen right now. It’s a mission to steal the ball, but the ball is next to you and you’re stuck with the opposing player. As you said, I think this is a scene that clearly shows the power of the nickname Mammy Kim. Did you choose your partner yourself?
[김동현]
you’re right.
[앵커]
He looks like he’s quite muscular and strong at first glance. How did you choose him?
[김동현]
Before that, there was the first quest, and since you could choose your opponents in order of your best record, I was able to choose even very easy opponents. However, I couldn’t make a decision until then, but the atmosphere of the field and everyone’s atmosphere was such that I felt like there would be boos right away if I picked a player who was weak or a player that no one expected to win. So, I keep thinking about the players who still look strong, and there are battles between us, but it is also a challenge for me, so I still want to show something by clashing with strong players. I am also a mixed martial artist, but it is a professional sport and requires spectators and fans to exist. So, with that in mind, I chose a slightly stronger player. I had a lot of regrets a few times along the way.
[앵커]
The person who holds the ball until the end within the limited time is the winner. They took it with just a few seconds left. Was that staged? Or, since you broadcast so much, is this a staged plan? There are many reactions like this. What do you think?
[김동현]
In a way, I am thankful that they think of me very favorably. I was so strong that I gave up a few times and thought, I’m in big trouble, and I’m going to go home like this. These thoughts… I had all kinds of thoughts. I don’t like this kind of tight competition. I like one-sided matches. So it was very difficult. Still, I didn’t give up until the end, so I think it was a great fight. I feel so fortunate.
[앵커]
So, I think a very famous match was created. Afterwards, a group exhibition was also held. He served as a team leader there and was also selected by many participants as the team leader they wanted. What did you focus on most when selecting team members?
[김동현]
Even though I do martial arts, I am a clever person who uses my brain well within a martial arts athlete. In the martial arts world, I am still very intelligent. So, I did a lot of analysis, and I don’t know what will be involved in this physical mission, but it may require some strength, stamina, or speed, but from what I’ve seen, anyone around 85kg can do it well. Even a player weighing 85kg can achieve the speed and stamina of a full lightweight, and a player weighing 85-90kg can have the same strength as a player weighing over 100kg. However, athletes who are too light or too heavy cannot do relative work. So, I think I chose a player who weighs around 85kg and is not injured.
[앵커]
There, player and captain Kim Dong-hyun was in charge of intelligence at the time?
[김동현]
Many people don’t know, but I am an intelligent person in the martial arts world.
[앵커]
When you watch your broadcasts, you often hear people say you have good sense.
[김동현]
We hear a lot in this industry about quickness, good sense, and cunning.
[앵커]
You’ve said this before, but I know you don’t like talking about things like this. I’m in my 40s. She was one of the participants in their 40s, but since there were many participants in their 20s and 30s, she might have felt some physical pressure or felt relatively pressure. How did you prepare?
[김동현]
When I turned 40, it was my first time experiencing it. I’ve heard many stories, and people say that when you retire in your 40s, your physical strength declines due to old age, but when I compared the records numerically, I found that if you don’t drink or smoke, manage your diet to a certain extent, and exercise, it hardly drops, and even if it does, it’s less than 5%, almost insignificant. I think and believe that it does. So I quietly analyzed it on my own and found out that I didn’t fall because I retired, but because I retired and didn’t exercise as much as I did when I was active. I’m in my 40s, and the reason my physical strength and athletic ability has declined is because I didn’t exercise as much as I did when I was younger. If you think about it, all players are like that. Then, I believe that if I exercise the same way as I did in my 20s, and if I take care of myself as much as I did when I was a player, even after retirement, I believe that I will not decline at all, and when I compare my actual athletic ability, I believe that it is almost the same, and that is how I exercise.
[앵커]
Hearing that story makes me reflect on my own neglect of exercise, and I think viewers will also think that if they want to build a body like Kim Dong-hyun and the contestants and maintain a healthy state, they should exercise. How would you like to exercise on a daily basis?
[김동현]
What I really want to tell you is that I am also an athlete, and when I was an athlete, I think I worked out three times a day almost non-stop. He used to exercise even on holidays. However, while he was not a player and working on a broadcasting program, he neglected exercise. Now that he has been working out once or twice a week, I think I can understand why he is not good at exercising. It’s not difficult to go to the gym if you keep working out as a routine, but if you suddenly try to go after not doing it, it’s very difficult even for me. So, you have to really make up your mind to go once every two days or once every three days, and if you go for the first time in a long time, you get muscle pain all over your body, so you just get more tired and don’t do as much. So, it’s really difficult to do even a little bit consistently, but if you really want to exercise, rather than doing it all at once, do it consistently for even 20 or 10 minutes, and this becomes your daily routine. Then, you can gradually increase the intensity and increase the time, so it’s good to do it consistently. I would like to tell you that this is something that even real athletes find difficult to do sometimes.
[앵커]
It seems like working out together is very important. I heard you also work out with people you became friends with after the program?
[김동현]
It is not easy for athletes to exercise alone. If I exercise alone, I get distracted and want to quit. I think colleagues are important. It’s great to have one or two people I work out with, so I train a lot with actor Lee Jae-yoon, who I was close with even before filming the physical, Amoti’s younger brother, who I became close with through the physical, and with the martial arts juniors on our team. I’m doing it.
[앵커]
I heard you’ve been exercising more lately, so seeing your body improving makes you feel a bit disappointed about this, but you might be thinking about going out again next time. What do you think?
[김동현]
Next time I go, I’m sure I’ll win. It is unconditional. I’m so sorry, so next time I get the chance, I’ll definitely go out there, and when I go out, I want to show myself properly one more time.
[앵커]
Just listening to the tone in which you speak now seems to convey a sense of regret. This Physical: The 100 Season 2 ranked first on the non-movie category show chart immediately after its release. In fact, it is said to be a hot topic in many places. As a mixed martial artist, you may have always had a lot of foreign fans, but have you noticed that there have been more of them recently?
[김동현]
What I can feel these days is that many people use SNS. I’ve been using SNS for quite a long time, and I see people following me from the other side of the world, such as Brazil, Europe, Asia, and the United States, sending me messages and leaving comments, and I can’t help but think that the popularity of physical is amazing. It makes me think.
[앵커]
Have you ever received a casting request from overseas broadcasters, YouTube, or entertainment programs?
[김동현]
I haven’t come yet. If you come, I have English skills because I have done quite a few UFC fights in Las Vegas. I have to go right away.
[앵커]
Would you like to say something to the people involved?
[김동현]
It may not be to that extent to the officials, but if you call me, I would like to go and show you the physicality and potential of Korean martial arts athletes.
[앵커]
great. And through the program called Physical 100, we also confirmed Kim Dong-hyun’s abilities as a player. Recently, some people may be familiar with the images seen on various entertainment and entertainment broadcasts. As a performer at the production site, what do you think is the competitiveness of K-content and K-color?
[김동현]
As for filming Physical 100, I didn’t prepare much. What I felt when I went to Physical 100 was that it was really big and that this wasn’t entertainment. And the moment I arrived, the stage was so grand that all the players were immersed in it. The athletes who participated in the Olympics thought that it was a more important game than the Olympics, and I also thought of it as more important than any other UFC game. So, I feel like I was underprepared and it’s a shame. It almost felt like they were fighting for their lives, and the players cheered when they won and cried when they lost. If it’s an entertainment show of this level, there’s a reason why people all over the world watch the physical scenes. It felt really great and I got goosebumps.
[앵커]
I think the effort and sincerity of not only the performers, but also the production crew, and those who prepared the set in advance, probably made this content competitive. Kim Dong-hyun, this is a different story, but did you vote in advance?
[김동현]
I’m going to do it now.
[앵커]
Do you do it now? I think there are a lot of people who support us, so it would be good to hear a little bit about Kim Dong-hyun’s plans for the future.
[김동현]
As I briefly mentioned earlier, I always create goals or motivation for myself, and even though physical training is not an official Olympic event or sports event, I cannot participate in mixed martial arts competitions in the future, so with the mindset of being an active physical athlete, I will strive to achieve at least 60 years of age even if I am not in the future. Maintaining this body until I live. My goal is to exercise at least twice a day and spend my time like this. From now on, my goal is to do my best in the tasks given to me, and if I go on a broadcast, I will do my best in that area, such as doing makeup.
[앵커]
I think that they are loved by many people because they are so good at showing aspects that suit each position. I would appreciate it if you could have a positive influence on many people while maintaining a healthy mind and body. I will listen to this today. It was Donghyun Kim. Thank you.
[김동현]
Thank you.
