Jo Sung-Bin Gave it His Until the End
Thanks to his status as a well-known Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Fighter, Jo Sung-Bin had ensured the attention of his fellow participants from the moment he first stepped foot into the competition.

When the time came for team division for Quest 2, Sung-Bin may not have been chosen as a team leader, but that did not mean that players were not hoping to team up with him. In fact, leader Lee Jae-Yoon did not hesitate to choose him as the first person to join his team. The two were then joined by Lee Hyun-Jeong, Justin Harvey, and Joo Min-Kyung. During Quest 2, the team had to face the group led by Jung Ji-Hyun.
With enough determination, teamwork, and skills, Sung-Bin and his teammates were able to win their task in Quest 2, allowing them entry to Quest 4 without reservations. For this particular challenge, though, they now had to compete against two teams led by Hong Beom-Seok and Kim Dong-Hyun. Over the course of the four tasks in the quest, the teams had to try and win as many as possible.
In a nailbiting end to Quest 4, Sung-Bin was representing his team in the very last round, which had him neck to neck with his competition, with a chance to proceed to the next quest on the line. While Sung-Bin won the challenge with his team, he ended up injuring his leg severely. Hence, when it was revealed that all of the teammates had to race against each other for Quest 5, Sung-Bin felt conflicted.
Despite their respect for him, many of the players could not help but think that Sung-Bin’s led injury would lead him to be the last amongst him to compete in the first round of the race in Quyest 4. However, Sung-Bin was certainly not one to give up easily. he ended up actually securing a fourth place within his team for the quest. While this did mean that he would not be proceeding to the finals, the sheer determination he showcased cemented his place in the show’s history.
