Netflix’s Physical: Asia wrapped up on November 18, and things got spicy the moment Team Korea grabbed the crown. The show brought together super-strong athletes from eight countries: Korea, Japan, Thailand, Mongolia, Turkey, Indonesia, Australia, and the Philippines, each sending six contestants to tackle giant, sweaty team challenges.But once the home team won Physical: Asia, the internet practically burst into flames. Mongolia landed in second place, and their fans immediately went into detective mode. Japan’s captain Yushin Okami even posted something suspicious online for a hot minute before taking it down and saying he didn’t totally get what it meant. Then, on November 20, Dulguun Enkhtsogt, representing the Mongolian crew, stepped in with a long, calm message basically telling everyone to breathe, rethink the drama, and maybe stop blaming the scoreboard for everything.What did Dulguun Enkhtsogt say about backlash against Team Korea’s Physical: Asia win? View this post on Instagram Instagram PostDulguun posted his response on social media alongside photos of the Mongolian Physical: Asia squad. He thanked supporters but asked them to exercise caution."Please think once more about where and what you write," he stated.His message warned that harsh words could reach organizers and athletes from other nations. He rejected claims that Netflix rigged the competition in Korea's favor. The agency head explained why deliberate manipulation would be illogical. Netflix aims to transform Physical: Asia into a prestigious international event. Any scandal would destroy that vision."People with the grand goal of growing this into Netflix's Olympics would never risk manipulative acts," Dulguun wrote.He pointed out that strict regulations govern such productions. Korean athletes also had a clear edge: they had competed in seasons one and two already. This experience gave them familiarity with the format that other teams on Physical: Asia lacked. Dulguun acknowledged that hosting provides psychological benefits.He cited Korea's 3x3 women's basketball team as proof that home crowds boost performance. However, he noted the pressure cuts both ways. Korean athletes faced enormous expectations to win domestically. They also knew victory would invite scrutiny regardless."From the Korean team's perspective, both sides faced heavy burdens. The pressure of having to win since they host it domestically, and on the other hand, even if they win they cannot avoid misunderstanding and suspicion. Nevertheless, they succeeded, and the tournament winner was Korea," he observed.Despite finishing second, Dulguun argued his country gained something more valuable."But the country that gained the greatest value and achievement from this program, that raised its global presence and received much love, is undoubtedly Mongolia. The world's perspective of Mongolians has changed. Mongolian warriors proved that it was not just strength and stamina but also intellectual ability that was special. Warm messages supporting Mongolia have arrived from many countries, and we think it is natural to thank the Korean side and Netflix for creating this opportunity," he wrote.What’s next for the show?Dulguun hinted at future opportunities for Mongolian athletes."This project is not the end, now is the beginning," he said.He encouraged fans to channel frustration into healthy outlets like sports. His statement concluded by celebrating 35 years of diplomatic ties between Mongolia and South Korea. The message was clear: controversy shouldn't overshadow what both nations achieved together.Physical: Asia is streaming globally on Netflix.
