On Aug. 6, Netflix released the first four episodes of its new Korean competition reality series, The Influencer. The show follows 77 of Korea's most popular influencers as they battle it out in a social survival game to prove their worth and determine who has the biggest influence. The last one standing will not only claim the title of the ultimate influencer but also receive a hefty prize of 300 million won.

So, how are the contestants eliminated? Well, they'll be participating in various challenges where the losers are eliminated. There are a total of five rounds, with the first round only seeing 30 influencers moving forward to the next round. That means 47 of the 77 contestants are eliminated in round one. That's a huge cut!
