Chapter Index





    # Before revealing the mission.

    The first thing viewers see is.

    ㄴOh people are coming in

    ㄴAre those the participants?

    ㄴSeems like they stand in front of their own torso?

    It was a scene of participants finding their torsos while chatting with each other.

    Since there are 300 people, they can’t show everyone like in a trailer.

    They show pre-interviews of standout individuals.

    Giving a rough preview of their occupations and what they might show.

    A general preview is provided alongside.

    Because of this, viewers would normally.

    ㄴOh? This one looks

    ㄴPretty strong?

    ㄴMight be a good match

    Have moderate expectations.

    Become fans of someone.

    Empathize with them.

    But now the situation was quite different from “normal.”

    ㄴIs Kim Donghu coming out last?

    ㄴTHE DONG-HU is it you again

    ㄴEveryone’s obviously admiring Kim Donghu’s torso lol

    ㄴBut isn’t this too much favoritism? Standing alone in the center with strong lighting;

    ㄴ’This is real physical prowess’ < too obvious;

    ㄴThe production team is pushing him, what can he do about it lol

    ㄴMad because your country isn’t featured?

    ㄴOh you’re from that country? lol

    Physical 300 originally had few Korean participants.

    As if the PD was desperate to create physical competitions.

    They brought in all the physically capable people from around the world.

    And as rankings went down, the number of Koreans naturally decreased.

    And even among those Korean participants, none were considered championship contenders.

    Then Kim Donghu suddenly appeared.

    ㄴKim Donghu come out quickly!!!

    ㄴStill, all the other contestants are impressive too

    ㄴCan he really win this? Just because it’s made in Korea…

    ㄴRight, but everyone appearing looks fierce lol

    ㄴIt’s good they’re giving him attention, but I’m worried about his performance.

    People were half expectant, half worried.

    While Kim Donghu was certainly impressive.

    The other participants had credentials that couldn’t be ignored.

    But.

    -“Championship contender? Who do I think? Well, everyone seems weaker than me… If I had to pick one.”

    Kim Donghu?

    There was one name that kept appearing in the pre-interviews with championship contenders.

    -“Someone stronger than me? Physical prowess is about strength! Obviously it’s me! But if I had to pick someone… it’s Kim Donghu.”

    That name was.

    -“A hexagon… in that aspect, at this point… hmm, it would be Kim Donghu.”

    Kim Donghu.

    In some ways it was obvious, but.

    ㄴHuh?

    ㄴWhy pick Kim Donghu?

    ㄴUnexpected

    In Korea, it was considered quite an unexpected answer.

    The reason was the difference in image.

    In the East, especially Korea, Kim Donghu’s image was primarily as an “actor.”

    But in the rest of the world, his first image was as a “boxer.”

    No matter how good his movies were or how impressive his acting.

    The impact of being a boxer seen by over 200 million people was greater than his role as Tarzan.

    The video of that match was still circulating.

    Some analysts were still studying Kim Donghu’s fighting style.

    And there was one more hidden reason.

    ‘I can’t pick someone from the same Western country.’

    ‘You think I’d pick a rival from a neighboring country?’

    ‘I’ll never pick you.’

    They didn’t want to mention their neighboring rivals in these interviews.

    For whose benefit?

    Anyway.

    For various reasons, Kim Donghu was implicitly selected as the championship favorite.

    And when Kim Donghu finally appeared, that atmosphere was palpable.

    ㄴWow look at everyone’s eyes lol

    ㄴEveryone stops talking the moment Kim Donghu appears

    ㄴBut wow, he doesn’t lose presence even among those using substances

    ㄴHey bro once pulled a light aircraft with his arms

    ㄴHey bro could actually kill someone with his fists

    ㄴHey bro is Batman

    ㄴHey bro can eat for 17 hours straight

    ㄴWhy are all these actually true lolololol

    Physical 300 official.

    Owner of the perfect torso.

    The protagonist Kim Donghu appears.

    Immediately the screen in front of them lights up.

    And the explanation of the preliminary test, long-distance running, follows.

    ㄴ100 people per group, 3 groups wow

    ㄴGroup A has Kim Donghu and Cade Walker

    ㄴOh so they’re setting records with this?

    ㄴBut if they do 3 rounds, they’ll be running for a total of 1 hour

    ㄴLegendary

    And as soon as the explanation ends, the groups are divided.

    Without further delay, the long-distance running begins.

    Beep!

    The participants start running in formation at the signal.

    ㄴIt’s advantageous to run in formation at first

    ㄴYeah, need to conserve energy thinking about all 3 rounds

    ㄴOnly fools would sprint here lol

    ㄴLooking at Group B, they’re all running like that

    ㄴGroup C too, all 3 groups will probably follow a similar pattern

    ㄴInevitable, running strategies are all similar

    Just as viewers were starting to lose interest,

    expecting similar patterns across all groups.

    Tadadadadak!

    Suddenly someone breaks away to the front on screen.

    Only showing legs for now, not the face.

    ㄴWho is that?

    ㄴHow stupid

    ㄴWhat intelligence?lolol

    ㄴNothing changes by sprinting here

    ㄴIt’s endurance running not sprinting, doesn’t he know the rules?

    Viewers criticized whoever it was for being foolish.

    Then when the face of those legs was revealed.

    ㄴAh ah…

    ㄴDonghu!!!

    ㄴWhat are you doing

    ㄴThis is endurance running, Donghu ㅠ.ㅠ

    Korean viewers and worldwide audiences were shocked.

    ㄴSuddenly sprinting?

    ㄴReally stupid

    ㄴMaybe he doesn’t understand the rules?

    ㄴThis isn’t just about running fast

    ㄴWhy was he featured last anyway?

    ㄴIt’s a Korean program so they overhyped the Korean

    ㄴPhysical prowess isn’t just about the body, the mind is important too

    ㄴPerfect torso doesn’t prove everything about a person

    ㄴIf he drops out quickly, this will be so embarrassing

    They seized the opportunity to criticize.

    Through Netflix parties.

    Viewers watching the video in real time said Kim Donghu made a wrong choice.

    Meanwhile, in the video, Kim Donghu quickly took the lead.

    -“At first I wondered what he was doing, doesn’t he know endurance running?”

    Simultaneous interviews showing the feelings of other Group A participants.

    Like the viewers.

    -“Honestly, I thought he was an intelligent athlete… I was disappointed to find out he wasn’t.”

    They had faces that couldn’t understand Kim Donghu’s actions.

    Then suddenly their expressions changed,

    and they all said consistent things.

    -“But we were the stupid ones.”

    -“He’s a devil. I can’t believe someone can do that with a smiling face.”

    The Group A participants even contorted their faces and ranted.

    -“Honestly, Group A participants should get an advantage, we ran with a devil.”

    -“*BEEP* King! Hell! Train! We were on it! Without even agreeing!”

    -“It was a hell train, really… and Donghu wasn’t even trying.”

    -“He handled 100 people like children… I really felt the difference in class.”

    ㄴHuh? What are they saying suddenly

    ㄴWhat on earth is happening?

    ㄴThey were calling Kim Donghu stupid a few seconds ago, why do they hate him now?

    ㄴWhat happened lol

    Viewers were curious.

    And soon they witnessed it.

    ㄴ?

    ㄴ?

    ㄴ?

    ㄴIs Kim Donghu controlling the pace from the front?

    ㄴTrying to kill everyone who doesn’t break from the group lol

    ㄴOnce you raise the pace, you can never lower it

    ㄴWow he’s at the front of the formation, setting his own pace to kill everyone

    ㄴBut can he really do this? How good is his stamina?

    With a bright smile.

    Without any distortion, Kim Donghu steadily increased the formation’s speed.

    ㄴPeople who can’t match the speed fall behind and drop out

    ㄴAlmost like falling off a cliff lol

    ㄴThe way they look at Kim Donghu with resentment is the killing point lol

    And those who couldn’t handle the suddenly increased pace were eliminated.

    ㄴWhere are all those people who called Kim Donghu stupid?

    ㄴAh lol they were just jealous and took the opportunity to criticize

    ㄴWhy start with insults when everything would be revealed in minutes lol

    ㄴJealous of Kim Donghu? That’s funny

    ㄴThe video is now just fixed on Group A lol

    ㄴOf course, what’s the point of showing Groups B and C just running normally

    ㄴMeanwhile in Group A, Kim Donghu is pulling the hell train lol

    99 top physical specimens.

    Unable to overtake a single leader.

    ㄴThere’s only one way to break this

    ㄴWhat is it

    ㄴTake the lead from Kim Donghu and control the pace yourself

    ㄴThat’s just a very long way of saying it’s impossible lol

    In the 3-round endurance run.

    Kim Donghu never once lost the lead.

    And Cade Walker, who experienced it all from beside him.

    -“How did it feel running next to him? Are you really asking me that now?”

    After the preliminary test.

    In an interview, he evaluated Kim Donghu like this.

    -“That guy is just crazy, his eyes are different. There are many such athletes among the elite, I know, I’ve seen many. I’m an NFL player.”

    Even Cade Walker, with his height over 190cm and weight close to 110kg,

    called the ultimate physical specimen, shook his head.

    -“What did Netflix bring in for ratings? Change the title to 1:299.”

    The screen shows Kim Donghu running again with clear eyes.

    -“Let’s compete in another event, Kim Donghu.”

    Episode 1 ends there.

    And in the preview for Episode 2.

    -“Cade, would you like to have a match with me?”

    Coming down from the top.

    It was Kim Donghu challenging Cade Walker to a duel.
