Who won Physical: Asia? All you need to know about the final quest and Netflix’s 1 billion KRW winner

On November 18, 2025, Netflix released the final three episodes (10, 11, and 12) of Physical: Asia, marking the conclusion of the competition. Team Korea won the competition, securing their win over Mongolia during the final quest. After the Castle Conquest, the final game was a six-on-six All Out Team Match. It consisted of three games, with every member on the court.

First is the Wall Pushing Match, where teams try to shove three central walls of different weights, roughly 300 kg, 100 kg, and 200 kg, into the rival side’s area within five minutes. The squad that pushes more of the walls into the opponent’s territory across all three lanes takes the win, with Korea clinching victory by taking the last two rounds.

Next comes the Iron Ball Dragging Match, where all six players are strapped to a heavy iron cluster. They have to haul it to their own flag within a three-minute time cap, played over five rounds, with the load rising in line with each team’s combined body weight. Mongolia’s weights go from 100 kg in round one to 180 kg in round two, 260 kg in round three, 360 kg in round four, and 410 kg in round five.

Meanwhile, Korea pulls 110 kg in round one, 190 kg in round two, 270 kg in round three, 380 kg in round four, and 430 kg in round five. Finally, a tiebreaker between Mongolia and Korea has both sides starting together and racing to grab the flag. At last, Team Korea finishes first to secure the overall title and the grand reward of ₩1 billion, which is roughly between 700,000 and 730,000 US dollars.
