Kim Eun-ji On Netflix’s Physical 100
Netflix’s Physical 100 premiered on January 24, 2023, and within a week it was sitting at the No. 7 spot on Netflix’s top 10 TV shows list. Created by Jang Ho-gi, Physical 100 followed 100 contestants — including Kim Eun-ji — from various ethnicities, ages, and genders as they competed against each other to prove their physical strength and ultimately for a chance to win the title of “most perfect physique” plus 300 million won (approx USD 243 thousand).
“Fight to the death. Survive to the end.” These were the words that appeared in the show’s trailer. The contestants competed to survive purely with their physical strength.
In the first ep, Kim and other contestants were placed in a massive space where plaster casts of their torsos sat on marble pedestals, arranged in concentric circles around a fountain. They then walked around, admiring each other’s plaster/actual bodies, objectifying and judging each other.
The show also radiated Squid Game vibes as assistants and safety personnel wore gray jumpsuits with most of their faces covered.
So, for the first challenge, the contestants were asked to hang on to a suspended apparatus lifted in the air. Through this, the participants quickly realized that the show was not only a test of brute strength but also endurance and mental strength.
Later, based on how long they lasted, the players were then placed in order from 100 to 1, and in order, they got to choose who they’ll face in the first quest — a fight over a ball.
Overall, 50 matches took place in the same two arenas, just like The Challenge. Yet Physical 100 stood apart from other gaming shows staging these in much more interesting ways and with a massive cast.
Does Kim Eun-ji Have A Boyfriend?

Recalling the good times with her co-star Elaine, Kim took to her IG in Jan 2023, to write, “Same room throughout the memorable filming Good physical sisters, I’m looking forward to the next episode. Please watch Sandfield War.”
To which, Elaine replied, “The three of us had a lot of memories haha I miss you my Sieun.”
Also, on Jan 14, 2023, Kim talked about Physical 100 on IG. “Finally released Thanks to “Hip’s Queen” after 1 year, Netflix appeared on “Physical 100” and was selected as one of the 100 strongest physical people. A year later, there are now 130,000 subscribers. The reason why the channel was created was that it was a space like my own diary because I wanted to contain the images of preparations for the competition. Thank you for your interest in work Netflix,” she wrote.
