The competition features a remarkable 30% participation rate of former and current national representatives from various fields, including FBI diplomats, mixed martial arts players, police officers, soldiers, actors, and idol singers.

Yes! People will finally get to see Kim Dong Hyun as a world class athlete and not just as a tv entertainer. I hope he's still got it. The final of the 1st season was boring too, so I hope the quests have upped their game and find the best all rounded individual.
