In the jungle survival ‘Survival King: Tribe War’, ‘Jungle God’ Kim Byung-man, ‘Clown Dae-se’ Jung Dae-se, and ‘Marine Boy’ Park Tae-hwan are foreshadowing a fierce battle as they suffer unprecedented physical exhaustion due to the worsening weather.

The second round of the ‘Boat Race’, which airs on the 18th (today) at 10 PM, will begin. The ‘Boat Race’ is a mission where three team members board a boat for each team located 150m away from the beach, one representative swims to the boat, and then two others pull the boat back to the beach to collect the flag first.

Park Tae-hwan, the ‘Marine Boy’, who became a mercenary for the physical team, prepared for the ocean swimming mission, saying, “I have to do it”. However, Lee Seung-gi, the leader of the military team, said, “Tae-hwan shouldn‘t swim” and held back the ‘World Class’. Choo Sung-hoon of the physical team got angry and said, “How could that be”, but Jung Dae-se, who was Park Tae-hwan’s ‘former teammate’, also retorted, saying, “No matter how hard I try, I can‘t catch up”. At this, Park Tae-hwan grumbled, “You should stay out! And be quiet!”. As the argument over Park Tae-hwan’s participation escalated, Choo Sung-hoon eventually confirmed his participation by whining, “Tae-hwan isn‘t that good at swimming”.



When Park Tae-hwan competed, Kim Dong-hyun said, “This is definitely Tae-hwan’s game. He can‘t lose. The gamblers have a definite feeling that they will win or lose,” and guaranteed the physical team’s victory. However, Jung Dae-se, the swimming representative of the ‘Soldier Team’, also showed confidence, saying, “I‘m confident that I can swim too,” and Kim Byung-man, the swimming representative of the ‘Jungle Team’, showed strong will, saying, “If I make up my mind to do it, I have to do it.” That’s how the game began, but the weather suddenly worsened as dark clouds suddenly gathered. Park Tae-hwan hesitated due to the high waves, and Kim Byung-man was swept away by the rough waves and drifted.

The results of the ‘Boat Race’, which produced the ‘Episode 16’The Ultimate Survival King’’ with unprecedented stamina battles and worsening weather’, can be seen on the new TV CHOSUN entertainment show ‘Survival King: Tribal War’, which will determine the best survival king in Korea, at 10 p.m. today (the 18th). ‘Survival King: Tribal War’ is also released every Tuesday on the global OTT Netflix.
