According to a media outlet, Jung Hae Min told South Korean news portal Ilyo the truth behind the last quest. During his interview, he mentioned about revealing "what is the truth and what is a lie" from his point of view.
Jung Hae Min said that Woo Jin Yong stopped in midway because his opponent's equipment was making a lot of noise. However, after checking, they found no problems and the production team added lubricant and oiled the machines.
Jung Hae Min also recalled that after resuming the game, the production team halted the game for the second time and was asked to move to a different location.

He recalled that one from the team said mentioned a problem with the audio and couldn't use the video footage.
"As long as you're okay with (a rematch), we will shorten your rope and start again," the production team said, as mentioned by Jung Hae Min.
Initially, he refused and pointed out that couldn't redo it since he used up all his strength.
"Back then, I felt a sort of pressure that the rematch could not be helped, even if I had continued to say no," he said, and even came to the point when he asked himself, "My head was filled with the thought, 'Am I not allowed to win this?'"
On the other hand, Jung Hae Min explained the reason he spilled the tea regarding the "Physcial: 100" controversy. He pointed out that he was not after the cash prize nor a rematch but wanted the show to feature how the situation was actually played out.
In addition, he didn't want the public to attack the "Physical: 100" winner Woo Jin Yong, who has been silent since the issue sparked.
