Who is the Physical: 100 Season 2 narrator? Netflix’s brutal reality competition series returns with a new season and the ominous voice is back to add a chilling tone.
In Netflix’s Squid Game, it was The Front Man. In Ninja Warrior, it started off with Takashi Matsuo. There’s always someone behind the pain, whether they’re a baddie or someone offering frantic, hilarious narration.
Physical: 100 Season 2 brings back 100 contestants in peak physical shape, pitted against each other in a series of gruelling “quests” to win a large cash prize.
Before each challenge, a mysterious voice informs the contestants what the survival rate will be, and what to expect – but who is the narrator?
Who is the Physical 100 Season 2 narrator?
Kaiji Von Tang voiced the narrator and in the English dubbed version of Physical 100, and will likely return for Season 2.
He is best known for voice work in the likes of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Lookism, Tekken: Bloodline, and more.
In the first trailer, the narrator can be heard saying: “We have invited you to explore the most perfect physical body, regardless of age, gender, and race.”
When the first season of Physical 100 aired, many piqued interest at the familiar narrator’s voice. Many had their suspicions it was Tang. However, one user eventually reached out to Tang on Twitter, writing: “Senpai, I have a question. You wouldn’t happen to be the narrator in the trailer for Physical: 100 on Netflix, would you?”

He didn’t reply, nor did he like the tweet or acknowledge it in any way. Five days later, he confirmed he was the narrator in his own post.
Yes I am the Narrator in Physical: 100 >— Kaiji Von Tang (@KaijiTang) February 4, 2023
“Yes I am the Narrator in Physical: 100,” he wrote. “I’m also the host/narrator for Run for the Money. Honestly, if you’re watching a live-action dub I’m probably in it somewhere.”
Run for the Money is a Japanese reality series that tasks celebrities with running away from the “hunters” – the longer they evade them, the more money they win. It’s also available to stream on Netflix.
While Kaiji narrated the English version of Physical 100, it’s unclear who narrated its original Korean counterparts. In an official first-look at the season, the Korean narrator appears to be the same as the first installment.
For now, it can be speculated that Kaiji will return as the narrator for Physical 100 Season 2. This is based on the Korean version likely being the same voice. Fans will have to wait and see if Kaiji lends his grandiose voice for the new seaon once again.
Physical 100 Season 2 airs on March 19, 2024 on Netflix. Have a look at our other content below:
