Can’t get enough of the hit Netflix reality show Physical: 100? Well, you’re in luck because Chinese media giant Tencent has announced the launch of a new fitness-themed show that seems to be similar to the hit Korean Netflix competition.
In Physical: 100, a hundred participants duked it out for a 300 million Korean won (S$308,800) cash prize through a series of physically demanding challenges.
But back to the new show.
According to Tencent, their show, I Can, will see participants team up to endure a series of physical challenges.
The winning team will then face an all-star team comprised of international challengers. The show is currently recruiting participants, with no restriction on gender. The minimum age to take part is 18.

Unsurprisingly, netizens have begun comparing I Can to Physical: 100, with many criticising Tencent for copying the latter show.
“Our creativity is still lacking, after so many years, our variety shows are still copying Korean shows,” one netizen wrote.
Others, however, expressed that they were really looking forward to the show, thanks to the rumoured cast.
Some shared that they were looking forward to Wang’s appearance, since he was a Youth Olympic fencer.
