Basketball player Lee Kwan-hee is finding his first survival reality show experience to be a daunting challenge, admitting that the cold is more terrifying than his least favorite insects.

In the third episode of the Wavve reality show 'Bloody Game X,' set to be released on the 10th, Lee and his rookie team members, Kwak Bum, Shin Seung-yong, and Choi Yeon-cheong, face an "extreme survival" situation. They were relegated to an 'external survival site' after finishing last in the opening game, a "chair escape" challenge.

The show pits rookie contestants against teams that have previously competed in the 'Bloody Game' series. This format creates immediate tension and highlights the rookies' struggle to adapt to the harsh conditions and competitive environment.

Lee's candid admission about his fear of the cold underscores the physical and mental toll the survival challenges take on the participants. The episode promises to showcase the rookies' fight for survival as they navigate the difficult circumstances presented by the show.

I'm more afraid of the cold than the insects I hate the most.
