Viewers of Netflix's Physical 100 have taken to Reddit to discuss their appreciation for competitor Yun Sung-bin. Physical 100 brought together 100 different athletes with diverse backgrounds, ages, genders, and body types. The ultimate goal of the show was to find the "perfect" body by tasking competitors with a series of challenges that would test different disciplines. Physical 100 is similar to The Challenge due to both shows' shared goal of finding the ultimate athlete, although Physical 100 boasts multiple Olympians and professional sports figures in its cast.

Yun arrived at Physical 100 with a physique that other contestants highly admired. The impressive athlete was the very last out of all 100 contestants to enter the large meeting room in the first episode, and his very presence shocked and intimidated even the fiercest competitor there. Known as "Iron Man," Yun competed in the 2014, 2018, and 2022 Olympics, securing gold in skeleton racing in 2018 at home in South Korea during the Pyeongchang games.

Physical 100 Fans Were Awed By Yun's Performance

In a Reddit thread started by user u/BatSniper, Physical 100 viewers discussed Yun's impressive performances and his experience in skeleton racing. Throughout the series, many were rooting for Yun to take home the ultimate prize money of 300 million won (about $227,000 USD). Despite a strong start and countless admirable performances, Yun ultimately lost during a brutal elimination to determine the final five players, along with other fan-favorite Physical 100 players like Dustin Nippert. Nevertheless, Redditors were blown away by Yun's overall performance and finished the show with the Olympian still on their minds.

Physical 100's Yun Showed Off His Skills From Skeleton Racing

One user explained Yun's popularity by pointing out how "Every competition starting with the first team challenge really showcases how crazy impressive he is...this dude is like a super-soldier." Yun lives up to the super-soldier title, especially during his stand-out performances in the one-on-one game that served as the second quest for players and during the mini-game the players made up in their off-time. "The Sergeant jump game only proved it further," another user wrote, referencing Yun's ability to easily jump atop a stack of mats up to nearly six-feet high.

On top of Yun's physical ability, which would make him a great match for American reality competition shows like The Challenge, viewers respected that he brought more awareness to the sport of skeleton racing. Yun stated on multiple occasions during the show that he wanted to represent skeleton racers well, and Physical 100 was a great platform for him to demonstrate just how much power and skill are needed in the sport. One user said, "Thanks to the show and him, he brought this sport more popularity...I guess we'll all be watching skeleton racing in the next Winter Olympics."

Physical 100 introduced viewers to an assortment of strong personalities and impressive athletes, but Yun stood out as a cutthroat competitor. Viewers will likely continue to discuss his performance online for quite a while, eagerly looking forward to where they can see him next. Until his potential return to television, Yun will continue his vigorous workout routines that helped him make such a strong impression on Physical 100.
