Kim Byung-man and 'Physical Team' Choo Sung-hoon in 'Survival King: Tribal War'

Two team leaders, born on the same day, 'Jungle Team' Kim Byung-man and 'Physical Team' Choo Sung-hoon, are caught in a peculiar power struggle.

In the upcoming first episode of TV Chosun's variety show 'Survival King: Tribal War', airing on the 7th, four teams with top-notch survival skills in their respective fields will gather for the first time. The 'Physical Team', consisting of Choo Sung-hoon, Kim Dong-hyun, and Park Ha-yan, spotted the 'Jungle Team' members Kim Byung-man, Kim Dong-jun, and Jung Ji-hyun approaching them. In response, 'Physical Team' leader Choo Sung-hoon humorously welcomed the shorter team by asking, “Is this a team that matches heights?” Kim Byung-man retorted with a laugh, “We are the 'Hobbit Team'.”

Meanwhile, Kim Dong-hyun remarked, “I thought only our team had an elder, but they have one too. I thought we would be outmatched, but it seems balanced,” playfully referring to the 'elders' Kim Byung-man and Choo Sung-hoon. Kim Byung-man humbly responded, “Their elder is an active fighter, while I'm just an elder.”

Choo Sung-hoon also praised Kim Byung-man, saying, “In the jungle, you're much stronger. It's unfair if you step in,” acknowledging Kim Byung-man as the 'king of the jungle'. The close friends and same-age team leaders, Kim Byung-man and Choo Sung-hoon, who know each other's strengths well, will showcase how they survive in 'Tribal War' in the first episode of 'Survival King: Tribal War'.

'Survival King: Tribal War' premieres on the 7th at 10 PM.
