Netflix's entertainment show `The Greatest Rugby: Die or Win' is ready to give a strong impact to viewers by capturing the vivid sense of rugby in its all-time production scale.

'Strongest rugby: To die or to win?' is a sports survival entertainment show that shows the real game of rugby players who continue their desperate advances by throwing their whole bodies for the glory of victory?

On the morning of the 5th, a production presentation of the Netflix entertainment show `The Greatest Rugby: Die or Win' was held at CGV I'Park Mall in Yongsan, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Producer Jang Si-won, director of the production, announcer Jung Yong-gum, Korea Electric Power Corporation Na Kwan-young, Hyundai Glovis Jeong Yeon-sik, POSCO E&C Oh Ji-myung, OK E-Men Rugby Team Lee Yong-woon, Korea University Kim Won-joo and Yonsei University Seo Woo-hyun attended the meeting. Choi Ho-young, an athlete from the South Korean military athletic unit, was unfortunately unable to attend the scene.




Producer Jang Si-won, the director, said, `The first thing I felt at the rugby field was the shock of the sound rather than the visual"In order to capture the sound and urgency of the physical fight between the players, all the players were equipped with their own personal microphones." "The sound of flesh and bones hitting each other is chillingly vivid. I wanted to convey this to the viewers as well"To minimize interference with the game, he created a special custom microphone device that can be attached to the back of the neck, capturing the breaths and movements of actual rugby games.

I also paid attention to the visual aspect. The Strongest Rugby succeeded in capturing the rugby game from various angles by putting in 140 cameras per game. Producer Jang said, `Rugby broadcasting is rare in Korea, and even in Japan, we film the game with about five cameras. But we used 140s to record the moment without missing it", he explained that the broadcast was implemented in an independent way, such as the English Premier League broadcasting system.

The set of 'strongest rugby' is a super-large space implemented under the huge support of Netflix. Chang said, "I wanted to make a set reminiscent of the Colosseum like a gladiator's stadium. Designed to increase the cast's immersion, this set doubles rugby's fierce competition and thrill." He also expressed confidence, saying, `I wanted to make it look like a winter game by laying snow, but even the actual set will be sufficiently surprising.'




A total of 15 episodes of 'Strongest Rugby: Die or Win' will be released on Netflix on the 10th, and the second episode will be released sequentially every week.
