I-Land | Ep 7 Reaction

Comments

i thought k was alright in part 1 but the second there where grounders in the top 7, and above him he became so bitter... i was actually disappointed cause it seemed like his whole character changed.

Oops! I accidentally deleted my earlier comment: Sunoo has the “it”factor and you were spot-on,Jeff, when you said it’s wise for producers to take someone with special charisma and audience connection and then level up their skills. Sunoo had talent already but with extra years of experience in Enhypen, he’s even more fantastic. There are so many good singers and dancers in the world but having that special audience connection (where they cheer you on and embrace you into their hearts, homes and devices) is rare. Enhypen lineup has it in spades—great lineup. At first I wanted an 8th spot for K (and he’s not even my bias but I recognize his talent and stage presence) but now I get the producer’s vision.

i think they are talking about the person who said they didn't like Sunoo cuz he ranked high in global voting. Not you, @Jemma

Jeff - if you watch the HYBE 2020 NYEL (New Years Eve Live) on Weverse, Hanbin did a solo performance to kick off the show. He left BE:LIFT (or Big Hit) to pursue his own interests, not sure where he landed, but he is on Instagram if you want to follow him. Geonu/Jimin are with Just B (Jimin also from the Ground - he barely got screen time!); Kyungmin was to debut with the Japan debut group (with K/Nicholas/Taki/EJ) but he decided to leave. They were featured in the 2021 HYBE Briefing (posted in November). I have high hopes for this group and cannot wait for their debut!

K's mistake was being too controlling

Andrea Hernandez

NI-KI was the one evil edited from the start, K was just potrayed accurately, but K fans cannot acccept his mistake sadly ever

Andrea Hernandez

What is wrong with you? This comment is not about you. I do not even know who you are. Dear, Lord, drink some tea or something, not everything is about you.

Sammay

Girl, calm down. I neither critized Sunoo as a person nor as an artist. I don't care how he placed or how well he did. I was referring to the editing and the fan hate K got for stating his opinion. Much like you are attacking me for stating my opinion, he got a lot of shit for asking questions that have a valid base. A lot of people were surprised the top 2 places so high, including the I-landers themselves. Also, now that you confirmed you were talking about me: who the fuck do you think you are? You have absolutely no right to go ahead and insult absolute strangers that happen to have a different opinion just because your favourite isn't their favourite too. This is a safe space for civil discussions, something you apparently know very little about.

I think you are not looking at the whole picture. If Sunoo went to Ground 2 times it was because the ilanders voted him out not because he does not have skills or did the test wrong. Sunoo had one of the best entrance tests, even better than K's and Sunoo got 20 votes out of 22 to go to I-LAND while K had fewer votes than Sunoo, but I guess that since they had to get rid of 4 people in the 1st round they voted for Sunoo because maybe they didn't like him, but not because of talent since people with low potential stayed in I-LAND like for example Youngbin or Seon. Sunoo came back to I-LAND because the producers chose him for his abilities and he even got 5th place after the Fire test but the ilanders voted for him to leave I-LAND again without any justifiable reason, but they kept people with low potential/talent/skills like Seon or Jaebeom just for political reasons or because they liked them better. Then Sunoo went to Ground again even though he never deserved to go because of his high score in Fire and the ilanders knew he got 5th and they didn't care. Afterwards, Sunoo was the vocal representative of Ground and did a great job, even some producers praised him but unfortunately Ground lost. After that, Sunoo came back to I-LAND in Pt. 2 through the global votes and took the first place in the global vote and you say that K is right because those who were in Ground have less skills than those who were in I-LAND? Even though Sunoo got only good scores and good opinions from the same producers and yet the ilanders and some people did not care that he is talented but maybe some ilanders did not get along with him (like K) and only voted him out because of his personality, but they kept people who are not or were not better than Sunoo like Seon, Jaebeom, Kyungmin and Youngbin? That doesn't make sense. I think you have to watch the episodes again and realize that Sunoo deserved a high spot since the first episode and even though he was on Ground it was never due to "his lack of skills" but rather they voted unfairly for him and he still came back for part 2 and debuted.  Also, K can be very good at dancing but he is not better than Ni-ki and K is not a good singer, Sunoo is a great and sable vocalist. So, if we are going to compare skills, K may be a better dancer than Sunoo but Sunoo is 1000 times a better vocalist than K. Also, K has bad temper and he does not care about others opinions but rather do whatever he wants and that would have ruined Enhypen, their chemistry and teamwork.  Finally, Sunoo is not just a pretty face or he was or is just popular and because of that he got a spot in Enhypen. Sunoo is very talented and you will see that during part 2 that he got high scores, positioning himself as the 4th place with the best overall final scores among the 9 finalists in the final episode, but it happens that people always underestimate him and do not value his talent. Maybe you should pay more attention and realize that was wrong about Sunoo and he did many questionable things to almost all the Enhypen members during the show, and Sunoo was one of the stronger constestans since episode 1 so he deserves everything and all the Enhypen members too.

Sammay

Me?

Jemma Park

Do you mean me, @Irma? Either way, it's not nice to insult someone over having a civil discussion.

Svenja Ebert

You are not an Engene or part of the fandom. Dear Lord, you are an hipocrite, shut up.

Sammay

That does not delete that fact that even if it was edited or not, the part when he said that about Sunoo with his own words and mouth is real.

Sammay

I am not saying here that the top 2 do not deserve in the global votings, they do as people voted them. Just saying that MNET also not helping & as seen on MNET's previous Kpop survivor shows, they are not great with foreign/Japanese contestants . As seen on the 24/7 cam & someone compared it to the above episode & posted on YouTube, K did not shake his head when Sunoo was announced 1st, MNET 'evilly' edited it in to that crucial timing. If we look during the announcement, the other trainees were seen being surprised/shocked too by the top 2 rankings (& as many like me also expected Heeseung the all rounder ace to be in top 2), but instead of interviewing the others, MNET conveniently chose to interview K & also asked the leading question to K why he was surprised with the top 2 rankings.

HybeStan

Yes Jeff, I'm watching I-Land for the first time with you, but I don't mind spoilers. So, don't censor yourself! I also think K didn't deserve all of this crap. He gave a valid concern about Heeseung not being first. Heeseung pretty much ripped apart every stage he went on. The other 2 didn't stick out to me that much tbh. But whatever, it's all over anyways.

Svenja Ebert

Watching this show again its actually interesting because I'm now noticing that Sunoo was kind of always at the top since the beginning. He was voted into I-land the very first round then the boys randomly kicked him out then he was brought back by the producers and ranked top 6 by producers only for I-landers to vote him out for no reason again. So maybe its not so surprising that he ranked so high by global voters...

milky

I'm sure behind the scenes they helped him, and with all the other tests the members had to rise to that leader position before others stepped in to help. I think it's also a learning curve for everyone involved and they all needed to learn how much to help certain people when leading.

haohao

when I watch this EP I feel really sorry for Sunoo and happy at the same time its not his fault the he is way more popular than the other guys. and because he is my bias that time, K really got into my nervess, like how dare he. being talented is way more better than being skilled because talent, we are born with that but We/I can learned to become skilled sooo that time I'm sorry for his fans but I really hate K

Geraldine Solis

What really pissed me off with the fake love team was that none of the hyungs BOTHERED TO HELP TAKI 🤬 they were so willing to help the rest of the i-landers in previous tests, but not when taki knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT BEING A LEADER. I kept shouting at the screen WILL YOU FUCKING HELP HIM???? 😤

Tristan _MBB

Jeff said it here and I agree that grounders were absolutely set up to fail. So making it out of ground was incredibly hard. I would have been shocked if Sunoo got first by producers choice because he hadn't been able to show enough of himself yet, but him getting the fan vote? Absolutely makes sense to me. I get that he's not your choice, but he was millions of people's choices. And I didn't say that no one else was surprised Sunoo was first. I said that no one else was as vocally upset as K was during that moment. I said I was disappointed in him because its okay to not like the ranking but he literally was muttering "I don't get it" "how is this possible" out loud in front of everyone. Thats unprofessional and not kind imo. I didn't hold it against him and I can understand not wanting certain people to get number 1! Everyone can have opinions. Jungwon had one too in this episode, but he kept it to himself in front of the group. That's just my take! I have always vibed with Sunoo. And so I wanted him to win. I think it was explained very clearly that it was fan votes vs. producers choice. Questioning why people like someone is strange in my opinion. Like lots of people like things I don't! You know? But Jeff explained it well too that K was probably just concerned and confused as to why people who came from ground could get number 1. It's a stressful environment and these guys probably weren't always showing their best sides.

Jemma Park

so u disliked sunoo & daniel over something they had no control of?? learn to differentiate between the ranking of talent and the ranking of global popularity bc obviously sunoo and daniel were gonna rank high in the global voting as they were the most liked trainees within the audience. + out of all the trainees, sunoo had that natural idol persona which was appealing to people (especially in korea)

jennielvr_

I have to disagree. Episode 7 REALLY made me dislike Sunoo and Daniel before I remembered why they ranked so high. It has nothing to do with how talented they are and more with the fact that they lost basically everytime and were still 1st/2nd. I would have been OK with 4th/5th but anything more than that just rubbed me the wrong way. Idk if it's because I'm German and quite obsessed with Rules or of my personality Type. I didn't vibe with Sunoo in general but that's also because he is the personality type I don't vibe with both irl and kpop. He reminds me of Jin from BTS, Young Jae from Got7 or Chen from EXO. I just mentioned them because idk how to explain the personality type I mean so they are my reference. Of course now that Sunoo is in Enha I couldn't think about the Group without him in it, I got over none of my Top3 being in the Group even before their debut, but I wanted to just explain that because you said something about no one being upset like K was or something like tgat idk it's 4am and I just woke up 10min ago 🤣

BaoziBang

I remember being so proud and happy when Sunoo placed first because he was the only member I really cared about getting in. Everyone else was up in the air. The 12 here were all good to me. And I understand that K was probably not mean to the members who got first in person, but the way he acted was a little rude in my opinion. I wasn't someone who hated on him or turned on him, but I remember being disappointed in him. Him saying he "didn't understand why" those guys ranked higher literally doesn't mean anything or hold any weight. Clearly they were all chosen by producers to begin with to compete and then globally Sunoo and Daniel made an impact. It's not that hard to understand. I wish he had kept some of his opinions to himself because I feel Sunoo was made to feel a little uncomfortable due to the fact that he said "people were confused as to his high ranking." Like it's not confusing at all. He's a born idol. But overall the hate K received for the intense editing around the situation was hard to watch. And to be honest, Jungwon said here that "unexpected people" might debut, which is similar to K, but he just wasn't as vocal as it was being announced. I disagree with Jungwon too. No one here would be unexpected. They're all talented and it was both producer and fan vote as they progressed. I digress, I always felt anxious watching this show lol. It's why this show and others like it are hard for me to fully get behind. These young guys get judged harshly every week.

You forgot to put Mother after Wyatt just fyi my heart sank

serenity

ONF’s Wyatt’s recently passed away while they were a d still are, promoting their latest cb poppin’. I really hope he gets to go to her funeral and be with his family for a bit.

Tristan _MBB

Jaebeom is now en-chan and is a song writer/producer. He’s already contributed to lots of songs since i-land.

Tristan _MBB

Ahhh I’m not ready to rewatch part2😂 I have to get ready before getting all the struggles from the next episodes😖😂

Dan

the thing i hate about the ranking for the global voting is that we, everyone who voted, didn't know it was about the ranking. we were told we needed to vote on the person we wanted to keep in i-land so a lot of the votes went to grounders/ilanders who had a lower chance of staying in the top6. of course we also voted for them out of fear since we didn't know who the 6 ilanders who were gonna stay were. the voting started before we knew who the 6 candidates were and apparently they used the votes of the week between episode 5 & 6 for the ranking and the votes of the week between episode 6 & 7 for the final 6 seats. which i still find unfair cause we only voted with the thought "i want you to not get kicked out" so A LOT of the votes went to grounders who didn't make it in the end but could've if they added the first week of votes.

Liesje

I’m really glad you enjoyed the episode. Following Part2 of I-land is emotionally difficult. BTS really made this episode special especially because it was the 7 episode and BTS is 7. I also want to just add to some comments you mentioned. Sunoo global voting where unpredictable, but fans really enjoyed how he was always interacting with the camera, he has “idol” personality. Daniel was also very liked by fans. Also about Sunoo strength and stamina, he has talk about in a live that he actually is really strong now and he wouldn’t be able to do Kpop if he was not strong. Fans were worried but I think the members take his health seriously and so does the company. To add a fun fact, Ni-Ki never took off the hanbok Jungkook gave him lol, I think it’s special because jk is BTS maknae now ni-ki is ENHA’s. Really been enjoying rewatching I-Land from a different perspective, thank again Jeff😊

Lupe

sunoo & daniel were one of the most liked trainees (if not the most) on the show so showing clips of K looking displeased (which was edited) and basically saying that sunoo and daniel didn’t deserve it, looked rlly bad to the fans who were watching which resulted in them disliking K.

jennielvr_

delluna
