The winner of the Netflix variety show 'Devil's Plan: Death Room' (hereafter 'Devil's Plan 2'), Jung Hyun-kyu, recently expressed his cautious stance regarding the controversy surrounding him and his relationships with two women, Seong Hae-eun and Yoon So-hee, who have drawn public attention.

In the interview conducted on the 27th in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Jung Hyun-kyu drew a line regarding the breakup rumors with Seong Hae-eun, with whom he developed a couple relationship through TVING's 'Transit Love 2', stating, 'After 'Transit Love 2', Hae-eun and I have been cheering for each other until now.' He added, 'I was reluctant for the couple relationship itself to become a product,' and said, 'So I expressed that we became a couple only indirectly. I can only say that we are still just cheering for each other.'

He also mentioned his relationship with actress Yoon So-hee, with whom he reached the finals while maintaining a union until the end in 'Devil's Plan 2'. Regarding the suspicion that Yoon So-hee conceded her victory in the finals, he emphasized, 'I did not receive the championship as a concession at all,' stating, 'We fought fiercely and fairly, and both of us did our best in a physically challenging situation.'

Jung Hyun-kyu also commented on the exaggerated interpretations of his relationship with Yoon So-hee. He explained, 'I only said let's stick together until the end with Kyuhyun and So-hee during activities; I never imagined it would appear as though we were in a romantic relationship,' and added, 'Now, we are maintaining a good brother-sister relationship.'

Earlier, Jung Hyun-kyu faced a controversy over his harsh remarks at the beginning of the broadcast, leading him to post 'I am sorry' on his social media profile, which he recently deleted, resulting in further controversy. He did not provide a separate explanation regarding this, but said, 'I have reflected a lot on myself due to this incident,' and added, 'I realized that I am an immature and incomplete person, and I want to have some time alone to heal for a while.'

Jung Hyun-kyu, who gained the nickname 'Seoul National University Songgang' after gaining recognition through 'Transit Love 2', is drawing attention once again by winning 'Devil's Plan 2'. However, as controversies continue regarding his championship process, interpersonal relationships, and remarks, interest is focused on what steps he will take in the future.
