Actor Kim Dong-jun has become the first 'Survival King' by showcasing his versatile skills as a 'jungle idol' on 'Survival King.'
Kim Dong-jun appeared in the final episode of TV CHOSUN's 'Survival King: Tribe Wars' (hereafter 'Survival King') aired on the 9th, where he worked with Kim Byung-man and Jung Ji-hyun as part of the jungle team.
On that day, the jungle team, which included Kim Dong-jun, faced off against the military team in the finals. Before the final match, Kim Dong-jun expressed his determination, saying, "I can pour everything I have into this. I'm excited and thrilled," and added, "I want to compete in the final without any regrets."
Following this, Kim Dong-jun prepared for the finals with Kim Byung-man and Jung Ji-hyun. He ignited his enthusiasm by learning wrestling techniques from Jung Ji-hyun and built teamwork through sincere conversations with his two older brothers.
In particular, Kim Dong-jun impressed everyone with his stamina, comparable to that of a national athlete. In the finals, he was the first to run to the mission site, surveying the surroundings while thoroughly searching the abandoned dock to obtain the first clue key caught on a post.
After that, Kim Dong-jun quickly solved the quiz like a brainiac, made a raft out of barrels, and paddled to the final mission site. He showcased his passion by giving his all until the end, proving himself to be a 'versatile idol' with both physical strength and brains.
Upon becoming the first 'Survival King,' Kim Dong-jun remarked, "Physically, we might be considered the weakest, but I don't think just having strength guarantees victory in the competition," and added, "After ten days of competition and survival, those moments remain in my mind like a panorama, captured as a single photograph. We did it."
The jungle team, led by the first 'Survival King' Kim Dong-jun, returned to Korea and went on a luxury vacation as a reward for their victory. Even during the vacation, special training continued under Kim Byung-man's leadership, and Kim Dong-jun showcased his outstanding abilities in paragliding training, clay shooting, and zip-lining, impressing everyone.
Meanwhile, Kim Dong-jun has announced his participation in the drama 'New Recruit 3,' raising expectations.
