The Netflix variety show 'Devil's Plan: Death Room,' which became an issue due to bullying controversy among participants, has completed its second fierce plan of the devil with a winner emerging.
'Devil's Plan: Death Room' delivered intense immersion in its final episode, released on the 20th, filled with surprises after surprises. Jung Hyun-kyu's remarkable counterattack, in the fifth main match, 'Balance of Mancala,' when he was on the verge of elimination, and the unexpected reorganization of the alliance created a mix of happiness and sorrow. The elimination of a player who had fiercely competed together brought tears to the alliance he belonged to. Additionally, the revelation of a secret that a player had hidden until then resulted in shock and anger among the remaining players.
A huge unexpected twist triggered a chain reaction. Conflicts among the alliances and confrontations between players intensified. The alliance of players in the prison had become strong with hostility, but ultimately, the brutal fate of elimination in the prison matches could not be avoided. After going through the fifth prison match, 'Wall Go,' and the sixth main match, 'Doubt Betting,' only the final three remained.
In 'Doubt Betting,' the player who came in first advanced to the finale first, and the remaining two faced off in the sixth and final prison match, 'Arithmetic Pyramid.' A total of 12 eliminations occurred, and the final two competed in the finale three times. As expected in the finale, an incredible winner emerged after a fierce battle. The champion, Jung Hyun-kyu, expressed his feelings, stating, "Winning by any means feels like 'Devil's Plan.' I did my best at every moment."
'Devil's Plan: Death Room,' produced by brain survival master Jung Jong-yeon, presented a high immersion with new and powerful games and intricate rules. The diverse character plays of 14 dedicated players, along with alliances, betrayals, and hidden twists, maximized the thrill of the survival variety show. The intense competitive spirit and thrilling strategies of players who poured everything into victory captivated audiences worldwide.
Amidst the hot popularity, 'Devil's Plan: Death Room' will hold a fan event on the 23rd (Friday) in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, to meet fans. Among those attending are actor Justin H. Min, currently active in the U.S., along with participants Kang Ji-young, Kim Ha-rin, Park Sang-yeon, Seven High, Son Eun-yu, Yoon So-hee, Lee Se-dol, Lee Seung-hyun, Jung Hyun-kyu, Choi Hyun-jun, Tino, and producer Jung Jong-yeon.
'Devil's Plan: Death Room,' which once again demonstrated the strength of K-brain survival variety shows, can be found on Netflix.
Meanwhile, Jung Hyun-kyu found himself at the center of an issue after receiving a torrent of negative comments ahead of the final episode's release.
In the eighth episode of 'Devil's Plan: Death Room,' released on the 13th, Jung Hyun-kyu was caught on camera making a sarcastic remark, asking Choi Hyun-jun, "Can you do arithmetic?" when he did not follow his intentions during the game.
While the two were in an alliance, Choi Hyun-jun had placed a strange move with betrayal in mind, and Jung Hyun-kyu expressed his confusion with his remark. However, viewers displayed discomfort with Jung Hyun-kyu's continued tone. In this context, some netizens visited Jung Hyun-kyu's social media to vent their anger with comments like, "You asked someone from the KAIST Math Department if they can do arithmetic," and "Why do you keep calling Seven High 'Poker'?" followed by various other explicit criticisms.
In response, Jung Hyun-kyu changed his profile message from "Not Park Hyun-kyu" to "I'm sorry," indirectly providing feedback for the second week's broadcast of 'Devil's Plan.'
