'Survival King 2' Kim Byung-man, Yook Jun-seo, and The Boyz's Young-hoon face a crisis.

On the afternoon of the 20th, the first episode of TV CHOSUN's global survival show 'Survival King 2' depicted elite survivalists from South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia engaging in fierce survival battles in the Hualien jungle in Taiwan.

Thanks to the performance of Yook Jun-seo, a former UDT member, South Korea's 'Team Kim Byung-man' won the first mission and took the lead, showcasing their momentum from the start.

The first mission was a distress mission requiring teams to reach the assembly point using only a map and compass. Yook Jun-seo quickly set the direction by stating, "There's a flag in the 160th-degree direction," and led the team. Upon discovering a key hanging on a tree, he immediately volunteered, climbed the tree, and secured the key in one go, solidifying his role as the action squad leader of 'Team Kim Byung-man'.

Next, 'Team Kim Byung-man' from South Korea and 'Team Shih Kai' from Taiwan encountered each other at a river along the path to the assembly point. Kim Byung-man surged ahead with incredible speed, instantly widening the gap, while Yook Jun-seo and Young-hoon followed closely behind. 'Team Kim Byung-man' arrived at the assembly point first by a narrow margin, securing first place in the first mission. 'Team Shih Kai', 'Team Hero', and 'Team Yoshinari' arrived at the assembly point in that order.

The second mission was a one-on-one arm-wrestling tournament featuring representatives from each team. Yook Jun-seo of 'Team Kim Byung-man' easily defeated 'Team Shih Kai' in the first round to advance to the finals. His opponent in the finals was Japan's Yoshinari, who had defeated 'Team Hero'. The match between the UDT ace and the Asian Jiu-Jitsu Championship champion ignited the atmosphere. Both competitors engaged in a tense battle without yielding, but ultimately, Yoshinari emerged victorious. However, during the fierce struggle, Yook Jun-seo's elbow twisted, resulting in a serious injury.

The third mission was fire-starting, an essential condition for survival. In Hualien, notorious for its high humidity, each team had to start a fire using only the tools from their survival kits. Kim Byung-man urged, "We must start a fire before the humidity rises further," and began gathering materials. However, Yook Jun-seo, who had been injured in the earlier arm-wrestling match, complained of severe pain, stating, "I can't even wear gloves." Eventually, after receiving painkillers from the team doctor, Yook Jun-seo reaffirmed his determination, saying, "I will do my best," and returned to the mission.

Kim Byung-man demonstrated his expertise by using ropes to support trees, allowing the injured Yook Jun-seo to exert force comfortably, and focused on caring for his teammates. While the survivalists fought hard in their own ways, the victory in the fire-starting mission went to Taiwan's 'Team Shih Kai', which demonstrated logical leadership. 'Team Kim Byung-man' overcame the crisis of injury and succeeded in starting a fire in second place. Japan's 'Team Yoshinari' managed to start a fire only after nightfall, while 'Team Hero' ultimately failed to start a fire, facing a crisis.
