Broadcaster Lee Sang-min has returned to survival variety shows after 11 years, dominating the early flow of the Wavve original variety show 'Game of Blood X.' In the program, which premiered on the 3rd, Lee Sang-min secured 270 million won for Team P1 by utilizing his negotiation skills and psychological warfare.

Lee Sang-min Returns to Survival Games in Wavve's 'Game of Blood X' After 11 Years

'Game of Blood X' is a survival variety show where participants must survive under unpredictable rules using both their brains and physical abilities. This season is structured with teams composed of representative players from Seasons 1, 2, and 3, a Challenger team consisting of participants from other survival programs, and a Rookie team made up of new faces.

Season 1 Veteran Returns as Part of Team P1

Lee Sang-min participated as a member of 'Team P1,' which consists of Season 1 veterans including Jeong Keun-woo, Park Ji-min, and Lee Tae-gyun. In the first hurdle, the 'Chair Restraint Escape' mission, he showed altruistic physical play to become the first to succeed in escaping, entering the mansion faster than anyone else to open the game.

Information Warfare Creating 270 Million Won

The key moment came during the process of determining the team funds. After predicting that the team belonging to Hong Jin-ho would choose the highest amount, Lee Sang-min drew the participants' attention by revealing his income from last year. Ultimately, Team P1 chose their own team funds, securing a stable starting point of 270 million won.

As the game intensified, Lee Sang-min shook the board by strategically leaking information rather than monopolizing it. He caused confusion in Team P2 by dropping hints about which team had the highest income, and he proposed a deal to Team P3, saying, "If I give you information, give me at least 5 million won." It was a move to create favorable conditions for his own team by constantly poking at the interests of opposing teams.

Checking Kim Kyung-hoon and 'Running Mate' Psychological Warfare

He also did not hide his wariness toward competitors. Lee Sang-min showed strong hostility toward Kim Kyung-hoon, who has extensive survival experience, saying, "Don't even come near me." In the money challenge 'Running Mate,' he engaged in psychological warfare by spreading false information to disrupt opponents.

Even in unfavorable situations, his aggressive attitude continued. Lee Sang-min showed bold behavior by climbing over a wall to eavesdrop on the opposing team's conversation and publicly declared war against Hong Jin-ho and Heo Sung-beom. However, as he has moved actively from the beginning, he is becoming a target of intense monitoring by other teams.
