Singer and television personality Kyuhyun is currently facing significant backlash from Korean viewers regarding his behavior on the Netflix reality competition show, ‘Devil’s Plan 2’. Initially praised for his strategic gameplay, public opinion shifted as the series continued, with many now accusing him of being rude, manipulative, and lacking honesty.
Many viewers have voiced their dissatisfaction, stating that Kyuhyun seemed more focused on forming and breaking alliances rather than engaging with the core puzzle-solving aspect of the game. This has led to accusations of “politics” overshadowing his intelligence in the competition.
Viewers Discuss Kyuhyun’s Gameplay
As the show progressed, a growing number of viewers pointed out that Kyuhyun appeared to prioritize social maneuvering over demonstrating his problem-solving skills. Many expected contestants to showcase their intelligence and strategic thinking in the puzzles, but observations suggested a different approach from Kyuhyun.
One netizen made a direct statement about his involvement in the game, commenting:
“Other than finding the clock, what did Kyuhyun actually do? He was just busy with political maneuvering and cliques. Never come on a survival show again.”
Attitude Towards Kang Ji Young Draws Attention
A notable point of concern for many viewers has been Kyuhyun’s interactions with fellow contestant Kang Ji Young. Several people found his tone towards her to be disrespectful and unnecessarily aggressive.
“What’s with the way he talks to her? Does he owe her money or something?”
Another person added:
“He’s been consistently rude to her throughout the game; it’s hard to watch.”
Inconsistent Decisions and Justifications
Another major point of criticism centered on Kyuhyun’s inconsistent gameplay and his explanations for his choices. Viewers mentioned instances where he would create alliances with the goal of eliminating a specific contestant, only to later change his target when it seemed beneficial to him.
One netizen highlighted this shift:
“He said he wanted to take down Hyun Joon, then suddenly turned on Hyun Gyu instead. Why even make alliances if he’s just going to flip whenever he wants?”
Many viewers shared their disappointment regarding his attempts to explain his actions, feeling that he was harming his public image and reputation through his behavior on the program.
Reactions from viewers regarding his overall conduct on the show included:
“What’s with his tone? It’s so annoying?”
“Kyuhyun isn’t even caring about his image anymore. What’s gotten into him after appearing on so many variety shows?”
“I’m having different opinions about Kyuhyun after this show.”
“What Kang Ji Young said is so true. Why is Kyuhyun speaking like that?”
“I really don’t understand why he has to show his worst side if he’s going to continue to be in the entertainment industry.”
“I think this is his true character coming out.”
“Why is he talking to Kang Ji Young like that?”
“He was the worst. I’m so disappointed in him.”
“He got so triggered by what Kang Ji Young said because what she said is true.”
“He was the one who created cliques, but acted like he didn’t. Wow.”
“I mean, if he was going to betray his teammates, then be upfront about it. Why does he have to justify his actions?”
“I don’t want to see Kyuhyun anymore.”
“These survival shows are only fun when the contestants are smart and really solve the puzzles with wits, but all he’s doing is political play.”
“Please don’t come out on these survival shows anymore.”
“His image is plummeting.”
“They need to stop casting celebrities who create alliances like this and need to cast people to really play the game.”
“He’s such a coward. My facial expression was the same as Kang Ji Young’s as soon as I heard Kyuhyun’s excuse.”
“What’s with the way he talks to her? Does he owe her money or something?”
These comments indicate a clear shift in how a segment of the audience perceives Kyuhyun following his participation in ‘Devil’s Plan 2’.
Kyuhyun’s current activities include his ongoing music career and appearances on various variety shows, and it remains to be seen how this feedback from ‘Devil’s Plan 2’ will influence his public perception moving forward.
