I-LAND Episode 8 Reaction
Added 2024-07-21 00:56:48 +0000 UTCQuestion of the day: What is your favorite song between Fake Love, DNA, and I Need U?
In the last episode, the 12 remaining trainees were given a "BTS test!" Three units will perform iconic BTS songs: "I Need U," "DNA," and "Fake Love." 😭
We know who the strong/ talented Fake Love unit is and can't wait to find out who the rest of the units will consist of. 🔥
At the end of this test and episode, one trainee will be eliminated from I-LAND, losing their shot at debuting. 💔

"Is Taki is better than Geonu?" for me NO. Geonu is better than Taki in all ways.

2024-08-26 10:54:18 +0000 UTCI agree that Hanbin kind of stole the DNA performance. I was bummed the judges didn't recognize that. But maybe Hanbin did a better camera performance and, at a distance, he didn't the same impact as the other three. But from what we saw in the video of it, I think Hanbin killed that DNA performance.

2024-08-04 06:29:43 +0000 UTCi’m already seated for you to check out enhypen!! i will never forget their debut era because i was so impressed by how much they improved since i-land. my bias in enhypen is the member who everybody pretty much expected he’s gonna debut since day 1. 😌

2024-08-01 07:15:55 +0000 UTCI am SO excited for y'all do dive into Enhypen content hopefully after I-LAND and see your reactions to the team dynamics today! Obviously it's been a hot second since I-LAND so the boys have each grown a lot, and they've accomplished some amazing things already as Enhypen but still have SO much more ahead of them.

2024-07-21 12:16:57 +0000 UTCK is the sweetest person i love him 💜as a marathon runner he’s used to being alone and practice by himself 🙂↕️ it’s sad to seeing the hate he’s got and still getting
Pari
2024-07-21 12:16:27 +0000 UTCyeah am realising how much I loved hee sung and this episode is just the proof!! his talent and personality just shines through!!!! he is very well deserving! and niki was young, immature and ambitious ., I guess he was just trying to survive the harsh reality that is all and I hope he had the character development! familia I know hanbin and niki did well too performance wise but it’s not just about dance, it’s about vocals, expressions and overall stage presence and the attitude which makes it a whole!! so these lads had to get those ranks and needed improvement!
veenak
2024-07-21 11:22:15 +0000 UTCyeah niki just was trying to survive (i mean I get that’s how it should be) by himself again and again at this point like he did that even during the team matches…! I don’t stan Enhypen now so I don’t know much but I hope he’s had a character development!

2024-07-21 08:51:16 +0000 UTCI loved heesung in this episode. The fact that this is the elimination part of the series and yet he took time out of his own practice time to teach the other 3 members in his unit is admirable. It's like what Marisol said heesung isn't a selfish person. He always thing of the other people in his unit. It's what makes him a great leader. You can also see from every time heesung performs but it feels like bang PD has a bit of a soft spot for him. Maybe because he has technically been seeing heesung train for years as he used to train with TXT so he sees how good heesung is. This and next week's episode I think are my favourites! I can't wait.

2024-07-21 07:20:22 +0000 UTCLike I don't think it's that deep at all given the situation everyone was in but I was kind of on K's side on this one. If it was the first time Ni-Ki had prioritized himself over his team, fine, but it's a pattern at this point and it would really rub me the wrong way, too. I think Ni-Ki needed to hear what K had to say and Ni-Ki really has to drop that "me before all else" mentality. I don't follow Enhypen closely but I'm sure he's grown in that regard. He was really young and desperate and K was desperate in a different regard as the eldest. But ultimately, I think K was just offended by the youngest person there not discussing a change he made to the choreo that could very well effect all of them. And Mr. Son backed him up. So that's that.

2024-07-21 06:15:10 +0000 UTCwhen this episode aired the k & niki fight was a big thing a lot of people started to send k hate over it saying he was too harsh on niki although i agree k could’ve handled it better i also agree with k about the whole ad-lib thing, at the end of the day it’s all about teamwork even if it is a individual challenge + also i find it crazy people still bring up the this “fight” even though it was 4 years ago😭😭😭 like some people still hate k over this…

2024-07-21 04:35:22 +0000 UTCtaki is very talented and amazing but fake love did not suit him and it’s so unfortunate he got that song. i like to think that maybe things would’ve been a lot different if he was in the dna team T_T

2024-07-21 03:02:37 +0000 UTCThe I-land editing always cuts Marisol off, she gets stunned into silence 😂 Man it’s so fun watching this with you familia. I wanted to share my two cents on the ‘tense’ moment. I don’t think the issue within the DNA unit was a a result of evil editing (well the music is always soo dramatic) though it definitely will persist lol. I think it’s just at the point in the competition is making them all antsy and it manifests in either wanting to try anything necessary to secure their place (Niki’s ad-lib) or perfecting teamwork and cohesiveness which I think is what K wanted to prioritise. I’m pretty sure that K is actually the oldest of all the i-landers and I think that’s why he’s both the one they go to for comfort a lot but also the one they’re least comfortable pushing back on and if he wants to improve his leadership, he would have too recognise that and adapt patterns that work for different people. He also does seem to be VERY particular about taking care of the Japanese trainees since the beginning of the show but even so, I think Ni-Ki benefits from a gentle approach even if he’s being abrasive or not showcasing good teamwork lol. He’s so young and in such a high stress position but has such a stoic front that it might be difficult to forget. On the other hand, I think K finds it harder to deal with things like moodiness during practice or aversion of confrontation because at this point, he was 25 and it’s unfortunate but that’s considered ‘old’ for an idol at debut a lot of the time. I think he sees this as his last chance compared to a lot of the youngest trainees like Ni-ki, Ta-ki and Daniel. I don’t think either party here were in the wrong (though K was very harsh and should definitely fix that) even if Seungduk eventually ended up agreeing with K. He even said that they should all freestyle if they’re going to do an ad-lib and that might have been a good compromise but what do I know 😂 Oh and I think it’s unfortunate that winning the mini dance challenge automatically made Ta-ki a leader. I think had he had a choice, he would’ve preferred to have that benefit but elect someone else to lead but it’s ok, you learn and you live - everytime he cries I feel so sad he’s just so BABY it breaks my heart 😂😂 I think his confidence in his Korean isn’t great at this stage either so maybe that played a part. The part where he apologised that he was confused to Seungduk I CANT 😂 So looking forward to next week! :D

2024-07-21 02:56:26 +0000 UTCthe way you guys are already so impatient when the host talks lolll you guys are going to DIE with episode 12
connie cheng
2024-07-21 02:55:01 +0000 UTCOh about the k thing - I dont know if you guys know this already but k is japanese too and THAT discussion happened in japanese and when this ep aired he recieved a lot of backlash by japanese ppl cause they said that the words he used were very harsh than what they translated into english and even ppl who didnt understand japanese didnt like how he handled that situation cause hes very older than niki and many ppl saw it as how sometimes elders do things just cause they are elder they can get away with being rude to younger people anyways i personally dont think he deserved all the hate he got for it tho cause he is in a very stressful situation and he acted out but niki was just trying to do something different which might not be a very good thing since this is a TEST and you need to stick to the choreo given if its just a performance you can always do changes and adlibs but the test aspect of it kinda makes things different here i guess

2024-07-21 01:38:17 +0000 UTCQOTD: dna has a special place in my heart bc it’s the first bts mv i’ve ever watched :’) my hands are clammy why am i so nervous fjdndjdnfj also familia just letting you know that the first syllable of sunoo (선우) and geonu (건우) have the same vowel as seokjin (석진) so it’s not suh-NOO and guh-NOO but it’s SEON-oo and GEON-oo (like SEOK-jin)
