The Netflix show is far from the first time that Jo has been part of a fitness-related television series. Having participated in TvnD’s ‘Strongman’ in 2019, he won the competition and garnered much fame. Additionally, Jo showcased his acting skills in the second season of ‘Welcome to Waikiki,’ thanks to his portrayal of the son of the vacation home’s guest owner. Given his impressive physique and strength, the car dealer turned heads as soon as he entered ‘Physical: 100’ as people could not help but consider him a strong competitor.
In the first quest of the show, Jo was chosen by Hong Beom-Seok to fight in the death match. Determined to win the challenge, he held on to the ball with all his might and defeated the former soldier, leading to his promotion to the top 50. As it turns out, Jo’s performance impressed his fellow castmates, who chose him as the eighth most popular team leader among the remaining participants.
For the second quest, Jo’s team had to fight against Kwak Myung-sik’s group, and the former ended up winning the round. He partnered up with Choo Sung-Hoon‘s team for the next level to move a 1.5-ton ship. This awe-worth combination of people completed the task in 13 minutes and 34 seconds, easily winning the round. Jo and his team members had to choose one of the five tasks to enter themselves into for the fourth quest. Initially, he was unsure if he would go on to the next round.
However, the details of the very first game seemingly eased Jo’s nerves. The task known as Punishment of Atlas required the participants to hold up a heavy boulder for as long as possible, as only the last person standing would become a finalist. As soon as the task was announced, every head turned towards Jo as many thought it was a task he would surely win. Standing true to expectation, he ended up winning the task after holding up the given rock for over one and a half hours.
