Since being crowned the winner in the South Korean extreme survival show in the finale, which dropped on Netflix on Feb 21, the CrossFit athlete and the show’s producers have been under attack over allegations that the final rope-pulling match was unfair. In an interview with South Korean media outlet Ilyo, he said the match was halted twice and the first time was on request from Woo, who reportedly said the equipment was making a lot of noise.
“I played that match by the rules and gave it my best. Yes, there were interruptions to the match that were completely unexpected to the production team, contestant Jung Hae-min and myself – and so the match didn’t go as smoothly as we anticipated,” he said.Woo, who is in his 30s, did not mention the second time that the match was reportedly halted and moved to another location by the production team, which Jung had revealed in his interview.
