PKL 2024: This returning Foreign Kabaddi star took part in a Netflix Show

The Pro Kabaddi League Season 11 is around the corner. After the auction process, the new season is set to start within a few weeks.

A plethora of Kabaddi stars will take part in the tournament this season. The dynamic league, which started for the first time in 2014, has grown in leaps and bounds and is set to enthral the fans again.

Amid the number of top Indian players, there have been a few foreigners who have stamped their authority. The likes of Fazel Atrachali, Shadloui Chiyaneh, Mohammad Nabibaksh have stormed into popularity in recent times, but Jang-Kun Lee is the first foreigner who came to prominence with Bengal Warriors in the inaugural season.

And Jang-Kun Lee is making a comeback after a break due to the pandemic. Patna Pirates secured him for Rs 17.50 lakh during the PKL auction. Lee received many messages from his Indian fans urging him to return, and he is thrilled to be back in the league.

Jang-Kun Lee took part in Netflix Show

During the pandemic, Lee played for the Korea Kabaddi Club in Busan and took part in a Netflix reality show called Physical 100. The show featured 100 athletes from various sports, testing their physical capabilities. Lee underwent rigorous training for the show, building muscles for a more dramatic look. He described the experience as both heavy and fun, enjoying the chance to showcase his strength as a kabaddi player.

Lee's Journey on Physical 100

Physical 100 brought Lee fans from different countries like Brazil, Indonesia, and the Philippines. His journey on the show ended in the fourth quest, but it was an enriching experience. He proudly displayed his abs, which he had worked hard to build during his training for the reality show.

Lee's participation in Physical 100 not only tested his physical abilities but also expanded his fan base globally. Despite ending his campaign in the fourth quest, he gained admirers from various countries who appreciated his strength and dedication.

Returning to PKL after such an experience has made Lee even more eager to perform well. He is excited about rejoining Patna Pirates and playing in front of enthusiastic fans once again.

Lee's dedication to kabaddi remains strong despite his ventures into other activities during the pandemic. The Patna Pirates are hopeful that Lee's presence will boost their performance this season.
