Lee Sang-min, the devilish move that shook the board of 'Game of Blood X'... a meticulous psychological warfare

Broadcaster Lee Sang-min dominated the game flow by showcasing seasoned psychological warfare in Wavve Original ‘Game of Blood X’. In the 4th episode released on the 17th, Lee Sang-min played a central role for Team P1, using a strategy that simultaneously gained the trust of his teammates while pressuring his opponents.

The 4th episode lasts 3 hours and 45 minutes. This running time reflects the production team's intention to densely capture the situations unfolding among the 20 cast members.

Calculated betrayal toward Yoohyeon and a preview of 'devilish acts'

Lee Sang-min's judgment was revealed during the process of selecting candidates for elimination. When Yoohyeon suggested purchasing additional voting rights, Lee Sang-min initially left room for negotiation to put the opponent at ease. However, this was a thoroughly calculated move.

Afterward, Lee Sang-min sought a reversal by revealing to his teammates that he had no intention of giving a vote to Yoohyeon. He stated, “From now on, I have no choice but to act like a devil.” This remark previewed a full-scale psychological war to exhaust Yoohyeon's funds.

Having been betrayed by Kim Kyong-Hun in the past ‘Game of Blood’ series, Lee Sang-min defined him as an 'untrustworthy person' again this season, showing vigilance from the early stages.

Analytical skills in item value that dominated the blind auction

Lee Sang-min's performance continued in the money challenge, 'Blind Auction.' In a situation where he had to estimate the value of undisclosed item cards, he read the situation by noting, “The expensive auction items will eventually lead this game.” In particular, he drew the trust of his teammates by specifically analyzing the market value of major items such as a Patek Philippe watch and a Warren Buffett lunch voucher.

In the 4th round, he distracted attention with unconventional play, such as hiding a cube inside his clothes to preemptively secure advantage cards. During the Seongsu-dong apartment auction, he even joked, “I don't have a house.” He discussed with his teammates how to utilize the secured cards, leading Team P1 to take the initiative in advantage card management and item selection.

Team confrontation structure composed of the strongest players from all seasons

This ‘Game of Blood X’ is a program with the nature of a 'Championship of the Strongest,' where cast members from Seasons 1 to 3 have gathered again. PD Jeon Chae-young designed the team competition so that the pride of each season would clash. Team P1 consists of Lee Sang-min, announcer Park Ji Min, former baseball player Jung Keun-woo, and police officer Lee Tae-kyun (Season 1 winner).

Team P2 faces former basketball player Ha Seung-Jin, poker player Hyun Seong-ju, rapper Yoon B, and doctor Lee Jin-hyung (Season 2 winner). Team P3 consists of poker player Hong Jin-Ho, rapper Xitsuh, consulting firm data expert Choi Hye-seon, and KAIST AI researcher Heo Sung-beom. Additionally, Team C (Challenger), which includes Kim Kyong-Hun, Yoohyeon, Kim Nam-hee, and Kang Ji-hoo, and Team R (Rookie), which includes Kwak Beom, Lee Kwan-hee, Shin Seung-yong, and Choi Yeon-cheong, have joined the fray.
