Superbon Discusses Changes Making Physical: Asia More Challenging than Physical: 100

As the reality show Physical: Asia reaches its midpoint, contestant and kickboxing superstar Superbon Singha Mawynn weighs in on the increased difficulty of this latest iteration compared to its predecessor, Physical: 100.

The Physical series has captured the attention of Netflix audiences, merging elements reminiscent of World’s Strongest Man and Squid Game. The first two seasons of Physical: 100 achieved significant success, prompting the launch of a new spinoff that continues to garner traction.

Physical: Asia features teams composed of elite athletes and fitness influencers from various countries, including Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Turkey, Mongolia, the Philippines, and Australia. Among the notable participants is the legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao.

Shifting from the solo competitions that marked the earlier seasons, Physical: Asia emphasizes teamwork, which Superbon argues enhances the show’s difficulty.“This is a team competition, not an individual one like before, ” he explained in an interview with ONE.“You have to rely on and trust your teammates, which adds to the challenge.”

Discussing the complexities of team dynamics, Superbon continued, “At critical moments, it’s important to be decisive. We must strategize together, and I often bring my experience from high-pressure environments, like my fights in Muay Thai, into the game.”

Superbon also shared how he became part of this exciting project, stating, “The production team reached out to me with the opportunity to compete. Having watched the first season, I was instantly intrigued, thinking, ‘This is something new and fun!’ It’s a competition that taps into physical capabilities rather than acting ability, which I find much more exciting.”

He noted, “If they had asked me to act in a drama, my answer would likely be no since it’s not my expertise. However, this competition utilizes physical abilities across multiple sports, which I find challenging and thrilling.”

You can now watch Physical: Asia Parts 1-2 on Netflix. As you await the release of the next episodes, be sure to check out details regarding the winners and eliminations from Season 2, along with discussions on potential changes to Physical: 100 and its narrative structure.
