What is the controversy surrounding Physical: 100?

In the finale of season 1, CrossFit athlete Woo Jin Yong won against cyclist Jung Hae Min in a rope pulling contest. But after the episode was shown, viewers noticed that Woo’s rope seemed easier to pull than Jung’s. As the round was played three times, some allege that Jung was winning the first part until Woo mentioned his rope had issues. Jung also supposedly won the second part, but they had to do a third one because there were problems with the sound. After agreeing to a third match, Jung lost to Woo.

“Jung Hae Min is very discouraged by what happened on the show. I think Jung Hae Min is not associating with Physical: 100 at all after the show because of what happened on set,” an anonymous insider told Hypebae. MBC, the network that produced the show, stated, “We can confirm it’s not true the final game was done three times. The production team is discussing taking legal action against these baseless rumours.”
