Jang Dong-min, who won the championship, said "It was the hardest of all the survival games I've ever participated in."When I came home after recording for a total of 12 days, my family was surprised to see my skin-deep face. When I weighed myself, I lost about 10kg and it was 63kg."
In response, the crocodile "We also lost weight due to poor meals, but Dong-min rarely ate because of the broadcast."From the beginning, if you see yourself eating when you talk about important strategies, you will lose concentration in the broadcast," he said, thoroughly organizing the table and limiting meals. But he didn't eat at all."
On the other hand, Hong Jin-ho complained of unfairness, saying, `It's edited like I'm the only one who eats too much.' "I had no choice but to eat snacks or ramen because the meal was so poor, but the viewers cursed, "Why does Hong Jin-ho always eat?" he explained. "Actually, when editing the scene, I caught a lot of people accidentally eating when I was talking about important things."
Explaining about the harsh environment of 'Blood Game 3', Hong Jin-ho was hospitalized with a pneumothorax diagnosis after filming, and discharged a month after surgery. I got a shot for a month because I had a circular hair loss"I didn't watch the show because I didn't want to be stressed out more." he said.
He responded "As the program was so popular and the cast actively broadcast reviews, many people responded "Where the hell is Hong Jin-ho doing?" But I don't have time to do that because I'm raising children right now."
The crocodile also testified to the harsh filming environment. He said "When I was living in poverty, I really wanted to run out"It was real that I had to sleep in that space where the water was leaking and the humidity was rising."," he recalled.
"It was so hot that I tried to enter the space where the ghost casino opened, and the production team closed the space and turned off the air conditioner," he continued. "I could see how strong the production team was. It was a real environment where there could be no controversy over manipulation," he stressed.
Regarding the controversy over narrative editing after the broadcast of 'Blood Game 3', Jang Dong-min was adamant that "I feel it every time I do a survival program, but not every participant's story can be treated fairly."
He explained that "18 members filmed 24 hours a day for 12 days, and if you edit this vast amount into 14 episodes, you will be left out of someone's story.'"Personally, it may be regrettable, but it can't be helped."
Hong Jin-ho also understood the production team's editing method, saying, "Some people may think that their narratives were not sufficiently contained, but due to the nature of the program, it can't be helped."
A total of four players, including Jang Dong-min, Hong Jin-ho, Crocodile, and Heo Sung-beom, were in the final of "Blood Game 3", but Heo Sung-beom could not join the photo shoot due to schedule problems.
Interviews and pictorials of Jang Dong-min, Hong Jin-ho, and alligators are available online in the February 2025 issue of 'esquire'.
