(Following Interview 1) 'Devil's Plan 2' winner Jeong Hyun-kyu revealed his alliance with Super Junior's Kyuhyun and actress Yoon So-hee.
An interview with Jung Jong-yeon, the director of Netflix's original variety show 'Devil's Plan: Death Room' (abbreviated as 'Devil's Plan 2'), and winner Jeong Hyun-kyu took place at a café in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the 27th.
'Devil's Plan 2' is a brain survival game variety show where players from various professions stay together for seven days to compete for the best brain. It concluded with the 12th episode (final episode), released on the 20th, where Jeong Hyun-kyu emerged victorious.
However, there is a stronger criticism regarding the process rather than respect for the winner following Jeong Hyun-kyu's victory. This is due to the perception that Kyuhyun and Yoon So-hee, who formed a strong alliance with Jeong Hyun-kyu, seemed to sacrifice for him during gameplay, which has generated resentment.
In particular, reactions have emerged suggesting that Jeong Hyun-kyu 'was given victory by Yoon So-hee' in the finals. Jeong Hyun-kyu said, "In the living quarters, Kyuhyun, So-hee, and I stayed in touch and decided to compete funly together, excluding my piece along the way. I never imagined it would look like a 'dating rumor' in the process. Now we maintain a good relationship as brother and sister."
He also noted, "Kyuhyun and So-hee became a close team as we continuously won matches together. In a way, a sense of camaraderie blossomed and we worked hard as a team. I feel sorry towards the both of them. I requested their help as a strategic choice to win, and in that process, So-hee and Kyuhyun became my allies. I apologized for the trouble I might have caused, and they said, 'It's okay.'"
However, he emphasized, "I did not receive the victory at all; So-hee and I fought fairly and intensely. Given the seven-day journey, the stamina battle was a bit severe. It was difficult to approach the final match in 100% condition. Both of us did our best, which is true."
