I-land ep. 12 (REACTION)

first episode of it's ok not to be ok dropping next monday!

I-land ep. 12 (REACTION)

Comments

The results still hurt til this day.. however I’m very glad EJ, Nickolas, Taki, Hanbin and K (+any others I missed) debuted 💔

Genesis Levinthol

For the choice of leaders its mostly up to the members but hybe encourages that the oldest not be the leader. They do this for the oldests mental health down the line, plus it could cause problems in the future. This way when the leader is struggling the oldest is able to offer some guidance and keep everyone in check mentally.

rciny

Re-watching this ep I jus remembered txts schedule at the time and this was filmed super late at night and txt filmed a stage before going there so they didnt have time to eat at all, and soobin had to film an mc thing right after. Which could explain why they didnt react as much during the performances/when the results were announced😭

rciny

Can you guys react to the debut show of stray kids?

YIJIE XU

Actually, most kpop groups have the odd number of ppl for the formation of their dance lol.

YIJIE XU

i think yall didn't understand why the girl said that, during the truth or dare game sunoo was disappointed when he didn't win no. 1 for being good looking that is why she said that.

peppapig isabitch

at the end of the day, they're all friends and they all debuted. Taki supremacy.

Neeko

I was late to discover I-land so I enjoyed rewatching along with your commentary and can’t wait to watch the next I-land for girls group with you. Thank you. It ‘s a great reality talent show.

Michelle Hall-Norvell

If you read the rest of the thing on google about Jungwon being the leader, you’d have known that the reason why Heeseung didn’t want to be the leader was because he is the oldest member. In Korea, the oldest has the most authority and younger members would’ve felt less comfortable disagreeing with the eldest which would’ve wrecked their teamwork (it would’ve basically created unnecessary tension). As for the 7 member thing, I remember hearing from one of the producers somewhere that 7 is a perfect number for a group for formations because you can have someone in the centre and an even number of people on either side, I guess odd numbers are just really great for dance formations visually.

moonchild 03

Agreed

moonchild 03

K is really good but I wouldn't give him all the credit.

KD 🍃

That's exactly what I thought. K has a potential to be main/leader so in their business point, they could think of making a separate group centering K. It's like how Bang PD started his vision of creating BTS with RM.

Lisa

Please watch kingdom legendary war!!!

Jenny CD

lmao no one venting out about k not being in the group; he is not & will never be. The show a year gone yet immature toxic people still making appearances even now..sigh. Is it so hard to be kind in life?

HybeStan

I don't know if you guys know yet but both Ta-Ki and K are gonna debut in 2021 in a bighit Japanese group:)

Cleooo

If you want more survival shows I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YG TREASURE BOX!!!

Kahlia Gilbert

lmao the show is over stop venting out about k not being in the group.

scenrs

please check out Enhypen&Hi episodes!

Maria Valencia3

Amberr, the show is over or not is not the point at all. The fact is, there are people like you both who are still talking bad about K in year 2021 now like you both are the ones stuck in Iland when the show is over like almost a year ago lol & En has even debuted without K. Wouldn't it be nice if fans can praise and hype about their favs without dragging anyone else. Yes what you say is your opinion, i can and do respect different opinions even if it is not favorable to K, fair enough. But I draw the line & I need to speak up with what Montana is saying " if k was in the group they would also not be a long term group because his personality what from i have seen is really toxic sometimes, if k was in enhypen they would fight all the times " as it is unfair to K, besmirch his good reputation and clearly toxic to me especially when what she said is not true as we all watch Iland, the boys had issues, resolved them and we know that K is not like that, if not why would the boys themselves chose him the most as the person they would want to have as a real brother midway Iland Q&A and again he was chosen by all in finale to be their leader? (this question I'm waiting for Montana to reply, not directed at you Amberr, pls). Obviously the boys are not insane but they made the decisions because they love and respect K, not because he is 'toxic and fights with them all the time ". If anyone cannot see and cannot believe these testaments by the boys themselves who were actually involved, then I am sorry to say that you are just being immature or also toxic when you make defamatory untrue remarks on K or anybody. Just as I respect your opinion abt K's talent even though it was not favorable about K's talent as it is your opinion, pls respect mine. I do not want to continue or argue with you amberr.

HybeStan

they weren't being toxic to anyone it's their opinion let them have it. just because K did this K did that, whatever. if the person feels that way then who cares. the show is over now girl LOL.

amberrr

Montana, if K as you said his personality is really toxic, then pls reply why do the boys chose K the MOST amongst all the Ilanders as the real brother they would love to have midway Iland Q&A (why did he get the most votes? the most loved amongst them by votes right) AND why if you watch the final which we saw all the boys UNANIMOUSLY had decided and chose him to be their leader (by your reasoning becos he is toxic, because he will fight with them all the time as you said ? Common sense says they would choose a leader because they respect and believe that person will lead the group well. K, like Heeseung, Ni-ki had issues while leading but the boys all resolved amongst themselves. I am tired of armchair critics saying K is toxic over real testaments by the boys who were actually involved. Can you pls just stop the toxicity. If you cannot support OT23, then pls support & comment on your favs without saying negative things about K or any others. Also Iland almost a year gone. Can we all move on from Iland. Yes comment here as anyone watch Iland here, fair enough to even say K does not stand out as that is someone's opinion, i respect that, even though K was the only 1 of 2 who got ranked 1st twice by the PDs & never been to the ground but... please stop the negative toxic comments which are contrary to what the boys had shown us (which was K chosen as most loved by their own votes and they chose K as their leader even to the end of Iland which shows that he is not toxic but because they love and respect him). These boys are working hard to reach their dreams, so even If we cannot support all of them, then pls just support your own favs without being toxic to others. Spread love people.

HybeStan

Not sure you are aware. K is not doing solo as he debuting with Hybe Japan bg with Nicholas, EJ, Taki & a few new members. Waiting for the group's socmeds to drop anytime.

HybeStan

same here, if k was in the group they would also not be a long term group because his personality what from i have seen is really toxic sometimes, if k was in enhypen they would fight all the times

Montana 🎀

honestly i just didnt see k in the group. he never really stood out to me. heeseung is an ace and all the boys in enhypen are one of a kind talent that have soooo much potential. i mean look where they are after only 6 months. they're super young and k is already 24. so enhypen is perfect as they are. yall need to react to more enhypen/enhypen&hi

amberrr

that doesnt make much sense cause they'd be hating on niki too since he's japanese as well...

Angie

Listen, listen, listen.... K as a solo artist. Just think about it!

jae

I love how invested you all got in this show. Love your reactions.

Arlene

Oh really? I never knew about that.. But yeah same I’m happy he still got a chance to debut.

Kataniah

No, the big inpact was the stupid rumors made by 14 year old Korean girl who didn’t want K to debut because she and xenophobic group want the group with only Korean. They were not only spread fake rumors/hatred toward to K, but also sending Bighit and belift requests for his decline by text and fax every day. It was so horrible really horrible. And the girl who spread the rumors issued apology right after the debut members were decided. Wtf.I don’t think it was the main reason for his elimination, but it surely gave a big impact for global voting. I really wanted him to debut not in Enhypen but with Jay and Niki.. but now I’m really happy he will debut with other great members in Japan.(because there are no horrible antis here)

onetaka

I feel like K maybe lost a lot of global fan votes because of that drama between him and Niki and then between him and Heeseung.. I remember reading some comments when the episode aired and people didn't like how K reacted to Niki in the DNA practice and then when he was taking the lead over Heeseung in the Flicker test even though Heeseung was the leader. So especially with Niki and Heeseung fans, I feel like maybe they didn't end up voting for K that much because of those events that happened..

Kataniah

K's gonna debut soon but like the stuff ya spitting were facts ong

Seagull

You know there are i-land behind on mnet yt channel... can please react to it... its fun

mui

bro this show took me thru more emotional trama then my 38 years of life and 3 kids...im not ok

irony wilson

WATCH YG TREASURE BOX!!

Seri

I genuinely think sunoo in ENHYPEN and K in the new group is a much better fit and balance for both of them. the producers knew what they were doing.

Haven

I honestly think Sunoo was the better choice for en-. as talented as K is with performance, they already had ni-ki, Heeseung, etc; they already had basically an entire group full of stronger/fiercer/opinionated characters. Sunoo was the PERFECT person to balance out the group instead of just having a team full of leaders like they would've with K. yeah K naturally excelled in performance & leadership, but so did most of the other en- members. sunoo is able to add his talents of charm, personality, & entertainment/variety sense to the group, which don't come as naturally to the other boys, and are pretty much just as necessary to being an idol as singing and dancing. and this isn't like a major thing, but i also feel like sunoo's age was just a better match with the rest of the group vs adding a 24 yo. K is amazing, but I think sunoo just adds more variety to the group as a whole.

Haven

React to enhypens very good dance practice!!

An

K Taki Nicholas Euijoo and Kyungmin from ILAND + new members from audition will debut with HYBE Labels Japan this year. (BIG HIT CORPORATION has changed to HYBE Corporation already) Bang PD has proved his words already😊 For more info > hybelabelsjapan.com

Alisa U

um they have all rights to complain. Its their patreon and their OPINION lol. All you had to do is respectfully disagree, not try to come for them.

Mel_.Chanelll

you guys definitely should watch enhypen&hi to understand the bonds between the enhypen members and how everything lead to their debut.

en1130

I don't quite remember, but I think there was a video where all of the members of Enhypen got together and decided who the leader will be. Oh also, if you guys have time, please check out Enhypen&Hi episodes!

小蝶 丶

Please react to ENHYPEN's Very Good cover at KCON! IT WAS ICONIC!!!

An

Yeah, these people are what I am talking about..Haters gone hate. This is the reason I can’t purely root for enphypen.

onetaka

totally agreed. I don't know why some people still obsessed with the certain event but not want to see what they don't want to see. I guess they don't want to admit K was adored so much by most of ilanders.

onetaka

Despite what you said about how K will clash with group and they can't be so easy going with K as we saw happened, all the Ilanders actually chose him to be their leader as seen in the finale; that shows that they have worked things out since, like and respect him more than enough to want him to be their leader. Also K is the one who got the most votes (why him, not anyone else?) when they were asked midpoint Iland to choose whom they would choose to have as a real brother. yes, they had their differences but also they worked things out. I am a K's fan, cried, wanted K to debut then, but with time I also love the current line up of Enhypen. I guess i have moved on & see positive in things.

HybeStan

Also if you're interested I recommend to watch Hanbin's NYEL performance 🔥

Untitled VIP

If you wanna watch other survival shows I recommend YG TREASURE BOX 😉 Anyway, thank you for watching I-Land with us. I had so much fun!! Let's support Enhypen and Bighit Japan group where K, Taki, Nicholas, EJ and Kyungmin will debut 💓

Untitled VIP

K is debuting in another group soon

thde16mw

Sunoo is the J-Hope of the group i'd say. The balance in the group

thde16mw

a lot of people thought sunoo was safe and didn't vote for him

thde16mw

I hope so because the second oldest after K are Nicholas and EJ (same age as Jay, Jake) right now..

onetaka

also this was filmed in 2020 btw LOL given taken literally came out 2 months after the show ended. like i-land ended in sep and given taken came out in nov

orangehdizzle

imo i thought it was p obvious who the producers were going to pick. sunoo was the perfect idol image, one of fans favourite, and fits with the groups age range. k was way older than the rest of them. i think everyone who voted for sunoo b4 switched to jungwon at the last vote cuz they probably thought sunoo wouldve gotten first so they decided to vote for jungwon instead. but im not gonna make this long cuz bruh those text in the comments r LONG AF LMFAO bruhs submitted a whole ass essay. but yeah as a fan it sucks but it makes sense as to why they picked one over the other

orangehdizzle

please watch Enhypen&Hi and their Debut Showcase. im sure you'll have fun and won't regret it, especially Enhypen&Hi. It really showed what happened right after I-land, everything was new & hectic so you can really see them grow. also, i guess by now you already know that Hanbin, K, Taki, Nicholas, EJ & Kyungmin are surely going to debut. Love your reactions! I really hope you react to Enhypen &Hi and their Debut Showcase.

cece

Also! There is a video explaining why Jungwon became the leader. we were all surprised too but it makes a lot of sense when you watch it 😊

JustCakie

I honestly hope Daniel ends up debuting as well. He had huge potential he just needed a little more training. He’s still so young

JustCakie

I think K was done dirty by the rumours and by his age. At the beginning of I-LAND there were lots of older boys around his age but in the final lineup he would have been the oldest by 4 years so that might have played into the producers decision not to pick him. It’s incredibly unfortunate bc most of us wanted them to debut as 9, but regardless it looks like K is going to head the Japanese group so clearly bighit always had big plans for him

JustCakie

Enhypen debuted and all the 7 members deserve it. Just want to add despite what some others have said about K, he is much loved and respected by the Ilanders as they have worked out things becoz as we saw in the finale, all the Ilanders unanimously chose him to be their leader and also midway point in Iland as seen on MNET YT video, K was the one chosen the most as the real bro they would want to have. Iland has ended half a year ago. Let us support all our boys, no hate on anyone pls & let us move on from Iland. I wish Enhypen, Bighit Japan bg, Hanbin and all Ilanders immense success and good luck to them all!

HybeStan

Please react to Hanbin’s NYEL performance

Laura Duncan

I was so upset that K didn’t make it...

Laura Duncan

Totally relate to your feelings at the end. Sunoo was my fav from day one, he made me happy and seeing how hard he worked, if I had watched while voting took place I would have always voted for him... but there at the end.... when it was producers choice... I was as shocked as y’all. Also Jungwon being leader makes a lot more sense once you hear enhypen’ s interviews about that.

Kaeldra3

I was a little surprised because there were so many comments ask to watch enhypen&hi. I came into Patreaon to wait for BTS Documentary or Bonvoyage... I want to react to the U-Quiz broadcast that will air tomorrow..lollol

Baaamm

i don’t think the difference between oldest to youngest matter that much but they r adding other members to the groups who r probably going to be closer to k’s age

pip pop

personally if it was k instead of sunoo i think think he would clash with the rest of the group as, like u said he has sort of a leader presence. also hes way older than them and theyve expressed how they cant be so easy going with him compared to, say, heeseung. anyways i reallyy love the final lineup. and just because jungwon hasnt been the leader in i-land doesnt make him a bad choice, they dont have to be a carbon copy of bts or rm or jungkook. the group balance>>> and thats all im happy about.

Jazko

pls watch enhypen and Hi season 1..its the continuation of their journey from iland to debut.

thatz valencia

The rumor of K during at the end of Iland really affects his votes tbh. And im so pissed at that, but lets be honest, picking top7 is hard as shit! you cannot drop anyone from the top9..the stress we gone through the final episode..we balled out. Sunoo is perfct to balance the team..and i know Bangpd will not let go of K. And yeah..K will debut under HYBE Japan..the first group. He is directly will debut under BH Japan together with Taki, EJ, Kyungmin and Nicholas and they opened audtion to add some members...so lets look forward to that. Iland is the best show...roller coaster of emotion but i dont think ill watch the girl version.

thatz valencia

Whatever people are saying is just all conjecture because we are not Bang PD. I think It’s ok to guess and explain what you think. But please don’t spread any hatred, false information and especially stupid rumors made by stupid antis. Also, some people are talking about their personalities? Blah blah.... WHO the hell They think they are? HOW the hell they know and judge trainees by unfairly edited MNET program.

onetaka

What doesnt make sense to you? thats how it was. But later after the group was formed the rumors about K was fake. So he can debut now, not anymore with Enhypen because during this time there was a rumor about him. And I know that K is going to debut Imao

Moonsyulle

I don't actually believe the rumors of K actually affected their decision. That's not confirmed by anyone at bighit that's just an assumption. If I had to guess the reason, it would be because Sunoo fit the dynamic of the group better.

mariejoyy

K, taki, ej and 2 other islanders are debuting as a global group, they posted a video 3 months ago on the bighit YouTube announcing they will debut but no details about group name or when they will debut yet

Nessabrownie IG

Doesn't makes sense since K and Taki are apart of a group thats gonna debut as a global group

Nessabrownie IG

Y'all should definitely react to Enhypen&Hi season 1 because it literally follows right after this its only like 4 episodes.

LovetheDove

The only reason K wasn’t chosen was because of some rumors about him making racist comments

Mimi

I believe the reason why sunoo was picked is because he balances the group out. Its as you said before heesung and K is damn near like the same person, I feel as though it would mess up the group dynamic and they would constantly get compared to one another so you have to have one or the other. If you look at BTS their roles or positions don't overlap with each other so I think it was a smart move and I'm happy with the results.

LovetheDove

Jungwon being called the leader was a big surprise to us all. However, I can't imagine it not being him now. Heeseung still leads them in practices it was mentioned in Vlive. We have to remember there are different roles in a group. Heeseung performance leader like Jhope. Jungwon is more of the Human Resources Leader like RM. In Hindsight I think is great that it works out that way because Heeseung can act like a goofball with the younger members and not have too much on his plate.

Estion

K wasn't chosen by the Producer, because there was a rumor about K that he was racist, the producers don't wanted to take the risk if the rumor had been true, K would then harm the whole group. That's why they took Sunoo. And that what I said it's true. Not because K was too good for the group or that Sunoo have more this and that, so the comments from other people and thoughts why they pick Sunoo instead of K is totally wrong. First of all I thought the same like all other why they pick Sunoo instead of K. But my friend told me about the rumor about K and that has been confirmed. The story what I just said that he's being a racist. PD didn't wanted to risk anything to harm the group or get full of hate if K would be there (only if the rumor was true) but after Enhypen was formed the rumor was just a big fake from someone who brought this up. + Sunghoon was rank 6 After Sunghoon, rank 7 is actually K And rank 8 was Sunoo. But because of the rumor, they pick Sunoo. If there wouldn't be rumors about K, then K would actually be one of Enhypen.

Moonsyulle

Watch Enhypen&Hi they are going to decide who should be the leader ^^ Also Jungwon is the youngest leader in all other kpop groups ^^ and just want to say something. Jungwon is a good leader and have the skills for that. I think people should stop saying Heeseung should be it this and that. Heeseung is sick of it and don't want to have all the burden on him, Heeseung is like the second Leader just for Jungwon. Heeseung is already been the center and the oldest, he's just helping nothing more. So I think people should stop saying Heeseung should be the true leader.. etc.. Jungwon is doing a great Job. And also we shouldn't compare Heeseung as other BTS member. We shouldn't compare the Enhypen members and other groups. Just stop with that.

Moonsyulle

You have to watch enhypenhi the first episode shows what happened right after they found out who was in the group it really good!

Gracie Pritchard

I just found this amazing compilation of some of Jhope’s verses. I was wondering if you guys could react to it. Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/p_yrjIeO_wI

Kimberly Mejia

yall NEED to watch Enhypen&hi now.

The Time Is Funny

Don’t worry about K he is debuting in the Big hit global group based in Japan actually with Taki ❤️

Kiara

Great reaction💜💜Also I think the reason they might have picked Sunoo over K is because as talented as K is the group would have more variety if sunoo was in the group. As an example in Bts all of the members are known or better skilled in something like all members of Bts are skillled dancers but jhope is known for his street style dancing and jimin is known for contemporary dancing etc. I feel like with the 6 members already chosen from the global voting, I feel that there styles clashed a little. I feel as talented K was Sunoo personally and sunoo unique talents that the other members weren’t as good as like doing cute concepts or more light hearted things, having Sunoo in the group instead of K gave the group more variety. That’s what I think

KIKI

Actually a lot of people thought K was going to be picked as the producers pick. I was nervous to see your reaction because I knew K was your bias. After watching i-land again I realized the producers picked Sunoo because he brought something different to the table. Bang Pd's words to Sunoo were that he hopes he "gives joy to the world" & I think this was one of the reason why he was picked. Many of us gain energy from seeing him perform. Sunoo was born to be on stage, you can see how much he enjoys it.You mentioned how J-Hope reminds you of Sunoo. Sunoo is a literally serotine boost (happy pill). I think the group needed that. But Sunoo is more than just a happy pill. His vocals are insane. You should watch him singing I Like It during their fanmeet. His vocals are top tier. Like you mentioned, K & Heeseung were similar since they both had leader characteristics. Also, Ni-Ki & K are both great dancers but since Ni-Ki & Heeseung had already been picked they needed something else in the group. I hope you get to love these 7 members more & more. You should definitely see them interact in ENHYPEN & HI or watch other of their live performances to understand why this mix is perfect. Also, I am glad the group wasn't composed by 8 members. I don't think it would had been fair to the other i-landers especially Daniel, Hanbin, Taki, & Geonu who had made it to the 2nd part but got eliminated.

An

you should totally react to enhypen&hi 4 episodes of 40 mins each and you see the process from iland finale to enhypen's debut. Here you see how Jungwon was picked as the leader!

Mari Pellecer

BigHit is debuting a new group as a japanese group. The current members confirmed are K, Taki, Nicholas, EJ and Kyungmin

Mari Pellecer

don't worry k, taki, EJ, nicholas and kyunming are going to debut in big hit japan and hanbin is as a soloist at the moment He perform at the big hit new year concert https://youtu.be/AP3S5LFwFFE https://youtu.be/Zj_VOoKjogE

Denis *reactions*

I honestly love Enhypen as they are and i would have loved if 8 or all 9 of them debuted but 🤷🏾‍♀️ i was definetly suprised when K didn't make it because everytime i guessed on who i thought would be in the group K was always one of the members but i am happy that he is debuting in a group (THIS YEAR) with Ej,Nicholas,Kyungmin, Taki and additional members that will be chosen through auditions. Its crazy because if you look at the global votes if they wouldn't have had the producers choice K would have debuted because he was 7th place but seeing enhypen content i could not imagine Enhypen without Sunoo. Enhypen is apart of belift lab which is a subsidiary under bighit so Enhypen are mostly managed by belift. Hanbin (he is also under belift lab)has had a fan event online with performances and such and he has done the opening performance for the bighit labels new years eve live and he has been doing things as a solo artist(he has twitter but we do not know when he will debut). The new group that K and the other iland trainees are going to be in is debuting under bighit japan. Bts has taken family company photos with txt and another artist under bighit, Lee hyun and there is a long behind the scene video where they interview eachother and talk about things they want to do together such as performing together, singing a song together,playing games, etc but that is it. Txt and enhypen has done a show together it was recorded before enhypen officially debuted but it was released this year(it was a new year special) and i really enjoyed it. oh and the show was in 2020 , Enhypen literally debuted that same year. Iland ended on september 18th and enhypen debuted on November 30th, they prepared in such little time. I recommend you guys watch enhypen&hi it starts right after the xhow and they immediately prepare for debut. Also Taki, NI-KI, and K are all japanese. There was a video released to announce the leader and they all took some type of test and Jungwon and Heeseung were the last option based on the results, Heeseung since he is already the center and oldest wanted to just remain as that without putting to much burden on his shoulder being a leader, the eldest, and center and he wanted the members to be able to come to him as an older brother and be albe to talk easily to him so he talked to Jungwon and felt that Jungwon would be a great leader.

Reemah

You guys should watch enhypen and hi. And also TXT and ENHYPEN did a two episode show you can also watch it both shows are on YouTube on the big hit YouTube channel with English subs.

Sheryse

As for jungwon being the leader you sould watch the youtube video about that I recommend you watch Enhypen and I season 1 they started filming it right after the show

tee

I personally think the reason why the producers chose Sunoo over K is that K is an amazing dancer we all know that but with Sunoo the group would be able to do cooler more relaxed concepts like i believe Sunoo brings more to the team with all the bubbly concepts and stuff - that's why i think they chose him And yes K is going to debut with Taki and other members in a japanese group and Hanbin and Geonu are gonna debut solo i believe

tee

Given the fact that the group could only consist of 7 members, I was happy with the results and I think this was the best outcome. The dynamic between the members is great, they are all closer in age and fit together well, and I can't imagine any of the members not being in ENHYPEN. The producers were smart for picking Sunoo, although he might not be considered the most talented, he has a charm and personality that the group can't go without, and he's also charismatic and has a great voice. K is very talented, no doubt, particularly in terms of dance/performance skills and as a leader. But the group has Ni-Ki who's the obvious main dancer, Heeseung as the ace with performance skills on par with K, but Heeseung is the best vocalist and also has leader qualities. I think we all thought Heeseung would be the leader, but ENHYPEN went through a long process in choosing the leader which resulted in Jungwon being best suited to become the leader. I've noticed with Bighit groups that the leader doesn't always have to be the oldest (for example RM and Soobin). So using the argument that K should be in the group to be the leader is less valid. In I-LAND we saw how the members weren't as comfortable with talking with K when he was the leader, since he's the oldest. That's why I think the this was the best outcome, the members are all close in age and fit well, Heeseung being the oldest but not with the same age difference that K has with them. The group is perfect as it is, and I can't see K taking any one of the members place tbh.

Nini

You described everything I felt. I cried over K's elimination everyday for a week. I cried, slept, and when I woke up I cried again. 2 of my ults were K AND Sunoo, so you can imagine how I felt. I couldn't celebrate, I knew I was going to cry no matter the result between those two:/ And K ranked 7 in the final... it's just that the producers choosed Sunoo due the reasons (I also think that) you already mention. I low key thought that K was going to be choosen, but I was sad because I wanted both. Anyway, I'm so happy that K is going to debut, I want to see him in Korea buy I guess it's fine!

Elizabeth S

I completely agree with everything you said! it should have been 8! its really rare to have 2 active groups with the same number of members... and until the day I don't understand why k is not there? he was picked 7th globally so if it wasn't for the producers he would have debuted instead of sunoo, ofc nothing against sunoo he's also talented. Anyway K will debut with Taki and some other ilanders in the next bighit Japanese group!

Judith Lopez Nicole

I think you guy have no right to complain about how the global voters voted I personally didn't see k in the group after watching I-LAND. It not right at all and seven members were needed not 8 or 9 bighit knows what they are doing. I sorry you guy that ain't it I voted everyday and started how to see the ENHYPEN how they are now so I am very happy with the global votes.

JaMeah Jackson

K and Taki will debut in the same group even they are 8 years difference.

onetaka

Sorry for saying this, but I'm happy with the debut group, it was my top 7. I wish K and Taki the best, but I love ENHYPEN now.

Jocelyn Pardo

tahily berrelleza

This was such a great journey to go on with you guys, you're reactions are always hilarious. I always love hearing your honest opinions and rants because they're full of humor, emotion and thoughtfulness. It's fun to see and hear the gears turning as you descend into everything. I-land was definitely an experience, and I can't wait to see more of your post-iland reactions like the Flicker stage (manifesting Let Me In and 10 Months). I also am sooooo excited for It's Okay to Not Be Okay, it's such a masterpiece of a show!!

Because K (& Jay)was my all time bias and he was the reason for me to keep watching the Iland, I literally couldn’t sleep that night, and couldn’t stop crying for week. I couldn’t get over it.. K and Niki were same role as main dancer and they are both Japanese. And Niki already ranked in 4th. I also thought that Heeseung and K are 2 alphas who can be center clash? (But I love their performance together on Fire and Flicker so much) If K ranked higher than 6, he could debut for sure. But choice of either K, Sunno, or Daniel , PD’ decision was that Sunno’s character is so different from others and necessary for the group(popularity, balance, concept image, or age difference..?) Even I’m K stan, I kind of felt that there was no way Sunoo would be eliminated. Sunoo is also one of kind. But it was all my guessing. Bang PD didn’t explain the exact reason, so people were guessing, fighting with fans each other and bashing and hating K and Sunoo mostly...(Why Sunoo over K because K is more talented than Sunoo.. Sunoo is too weak.. K was problematic personality so he shouldn’t be in the group anyway.. Because K is too old for the group..) It was horrible, and actually still now.. Viewers have rights to vote for who they want, but viewers don’t have any rights to bash them, spread hatred, judge trainees personalities. I’m like WHO the hell you think you are? All the trainees did nothing wrong but just tried really really hard and put their all efforts to achieve their dreams. Anyway, You guys are lucky to know that K will debut with other great members( Taki!!!!) right after finishing the Iland. But we had to suffer for 3moths without ANY information on K whatsoever. The last thing I remember him was his sad and humiliated face. Is he ok? Is he still trainee for which company? Now we know more why Bang PD didn’t choose K for Enhypen. The PD already had the plan for K (maybe Niki) for sure. Otherwise boys won’t debut this fast. Bang PD never waste K's talent, no way. K was prepared for Bighit Japan( either K or Niki depending on the result) because I remember that Bighit Japan had started operating and recruiting employees at the same time as iland was started. So I’m so excited for their debut in Japan, and I can’t wait to see their performance again!! And I’m sure Daniel will debut next year!!!? I hope, He should! Thank you for your reaction to the Iland. I was really enjoyed watching! ( sorry for my bad English) P.S. ( there was another reason K’s vote wasn’t high enough; Antis malicious action that they were spreading hatred, slander and false information. Those rumors were made by 14year old girls who didn’t want K to debut, but had always high possibility of debut, and they just wanted the group to be only Korean. After the final, when their bias were chosen for Enhypen, they issued apology on tweeter( wtf). It wasn’t of course the whole reason for K’s elimination, but it gave some impact... As the same Japanese,I was so sad angry to see many people were misunderstanding, manipulating by stupid rumors and hating him, calling him racist and slandering him.. I still can't believe why people can do such a horrible things)

They started a reality show right after I-land which is amazing by the way Called “Enhypen&Hi” It’s shows their new growth and bonds as a new group They performed at MAMA, and you guy’s should watch their debut Show is amazing 💗 They also won awards (not from mama they were just performers) They have a lots of V-live both pre-debut and debut (that’s where most YouTube videos come from) And yes hair colored is 😌 And One-Leader (Jungwon) is one of the youngest, a lot of people questioned why he’s they leader and not Heeseung. I think being a leader doesn’t go by age or talent it’s about caring about others options and feelings. Heeseung had a lot of roles in the group (he’s my bias by the way 😭😌) Am glad he give it to One leader because as far as now he’s a wonderful leader☺️

Queen dd

But what about bts’ documentary series, or Bon Voyage?? Are y’all still gonna start watching those?? I was hoping you’d start after I-Land. I can’t wait for you guys to see them 🤩

raeven b.

I know you guys don't agree with global voting, but I think you forget that you have to have a fanbase if you expect for a kpop idol group to become successful and to stay successful. You want to see what the potential fans like most about this fledgling group. They each have their own charm that will hopefully bring in fans and more support. And I genuinely don't quite understand why you keep bringing up that the people who watch now don't get to vote. People who watch past American Idol shows can't be mad that they can't vote now lol. If you didn't catch the show when it first aired, it sucks but oh well. I missed out on one of the global votings too haha. I do hope you guys get to watch the next Into the I-Land show in time!!!! Oh and about K. I was pretty shocked when he didn't make it into the group so I went online to figure out why and apparently a lot of people were accusing him of being racist. I don't know if there was any substantial evidence behind this claim though. Either way, I hope he and Ej, Nicholas, Taki, Kyungmin, and etc do well in their group in Japan! It's been fun watching with you guys XD

theGeekOutGirl

And I don't know if you noticed, but in global voting K went 7th and Sunoo 8th. Also I remember I felt good and sad at the same time. K was sooo good all the time, he even was 1st last test, producers gave him hope:((( And the Sunoo too, he was the best of chamber 5 and 2 times the 1rst in global voting... and at the end he was 8th, 8th!! That hurts:( And Iland was filmed in 2020! ^^

Elizabeth S

will you guys not be watching bts bon voyage or any of the movies?

Michelle Longson

HELPPPPPP THIS IS SENDING ME

Maria

And a 9 year difference with the maknae

Maria

Agreed.

Maria

Can you please react to their mama performance

Maria

Actually, they did tests to know their leadership skills and everything. The 2 members who showed more leadership skills were jungwon and heeseung, then they decided that it was better if jungwon was the leader because heeseung had already too many roles ^^

Elizabeth S

hope you guys watch the Stray Kids survival show! that shi was HEATTT

mrwhitesan

BUT! the good news is that K is deducting in a Japanese group with Ta-ki, Nicolas, Kyungmin, and EJ under big hit :D

Nanna

I feel you guys... I was crying because K didn't debut, and I was too sad to congratulate Sunoo even tho I loved him, but you just naturally get attracted to a person more than the other one (which in my place was K) but now I can't be happier that Sunoo is in Enhypen and honestly right now I can't really see K in Enhypen... I love him, but as I have seen Enhypen content that has come out, I think that Sunoo was a great(er) choice for to put in Enhypen.

Nanna

i think an other reason why they choose sunoo and not k is the age difference. Like k is 23 and heeseung at that time was 18 and heeseung would be the second oldest after k this is a 4 year difference which is idk a lil weird u know?

pip pop

Also just so you know Enhypen has another reality show called Enhypen&Hi that takes place right after this. Plus they post vlogs on their youtube channel vlogging their journey like BTS did. You still get to experience their growth with them.

Just_iny333

exactly. sunoo also matched the others’ vibes and concept a lot more. and k as a person just did not sit right with me

Sherly

K, Taki, Kyungmin, Ej, and Nicholas are going to debut under Big hit Japan so they’ll be based in Japan and are still having auditions to add more members to the group. There’s a video on bighit’s channel.

Joy Marie

same sunoo was my favorite (not bc of his looks obvs.) but i would have been way sadder if sunoo woudnt have made it. Also i didn't vibe with k's personality tbh

pip pop

K, Nicholas, EJ, Kyungmin and Taki are set to debut as a Jpop boy group under Big Hit Japan in 2021. They're currently looking for new members.

Just_iny333

Hitman Bang is really smart. He recognizes talent and that's why I don't question his decisions. He has a plan for everything. K is super freaking talented, but he just doesn't match the Enphyen vibe that much. Just like how Heesung matches Enhpyen more than he would have TXT. K not debuting though would be a waste of talent that's why Bang started another group and K is going to debut in that one. When one door closes another one opens

Em

i-land was in 2020 it finished in september and they debuted in november

pip pop

I love how hitman said to sunoo, to connect the world with Enhypen to give joy. it felt like he was the connecting point to complete Enhypen. Lot of people missed that sentence, means so much

jess

I’ve been waiting to say they are debuting a Japanese group with K, Taki, Nicholas, EJ, and kyungmin 😭+ more I think 😅 they aren’t gonna let talent go to waste. Even Hanbin has been super active with BeLift (maybe a soloist). Heesung also is the oldest in Enhypen, being the oldest and the leader is so much weight on your shoulders and may be difficult to talk to. As far as I know, that’s 13/22 ilanders who’s dreams are still coming true.

Erica Lopez

I think Enhypen is perfect the way it is, I personally didn't have the liking for K's behavior in most of the episodes, he's great and all but I prefer Sunoo since his personality is bright and easy going and a lot of people want to watch someone like that. I can't imagine Enhypen without Sunno. that's like having BTS without J-hope, every group has that one person whose the sun and brings bright and positive energy to the group. last year bighit said they were going to have a Japan boys group K, Taki. Nicholas, EJ, and Kyungmin and additional members. i think its a win- win for ya'll.

Queen dd

I also thinking they should’ve just debut all nine but bang pd already had their concept prepared and all the groups are connected (bts, txt, and enhypen) that’s why they had to keep it at 7 😕

Joy Marie

I was also against the whole global votes thing like yes you should involve the audience as well but they gave them way too much power and then when the producers ranked them properly and with logic many people were upset saying the producers are biased and they don’t know what they’re doing. Like huh? These are the people that made bts 😅 I was still happy with the results though, k broke my heart but I’m glad he’s still getting to debut under big hit along with other iland members.

Joy Marie

Please watch the show "ENHYPEN&HI" (the video taken exactly after the i-land show ended) and you can also search on youtube "BIGHIT JAPAN DEBUT PROJECT" there you'll got K, TAKI, KYUNGMIN, EJ and NICOLAS in one group preparing for their debut

anata_

I remember being kinda disappointed when I heard the answer of the korean girl, I mean... the previous girls talked about their performances and that kind of stuff, I would have liked to hear the second girl talk about Sunoo's voice, his facial expressions in his performances and things like that :(

Elizabeth S

HAHA. My reaction was the exact opposite in the finale. I was happy as fuck when K didn't make it.

Sherly

To be honest I think the reason Sunoo's votes dropped so much was because everyone who voted for him thought he'd be safe so they voted for others (mainly Jungwon because he went from ranking low to 1st). I think like you said I agree K and Heesung were in par in terms of talent and if you think about it, due to the global votes all the boys who were determined to be in Enhypen filled all the positions that K could have filled. K's strongest position would be dancer but Niki and Jay were already in Enhypen already, and with Heesung in there, I think the producers were just being tactical as overall Sunoo's personality as well as his popularity would be more of an advantage to Enhypen... Jungwon is the leader, following from Bighit's past in picking leaders, they pick them from input from members of the group as well as considering personality assessments, (if you think about TXT, when just considering their personalities alone Soobin compared to the other four members is way more laid back, a little awkward, gets flustered quite easily and is quite shy (TXT consists of four extroverts and one introvert who is the leader lmao), but as a person he fills the position of leader as he is the one who fills that role the best as he has the personalit to nurture and encourage the other members which is what TXT as a group needs when considering all of their personalities). In Enhypen&hi there is an episode which shows the process behind picking Jungwon as a leader - like I said it is based on personality assessments as well as input form members- in Enhypen's case they seem to have set positions in the group (like BTS does (so like some are main vocal, main dnacer, center, rap line and so on) and unlike TXT (TXT have no set positions apart from a leader as they're all main vocalists, main rappers and main dancers). Heesung's set position is center, he is also the oldest, and I also think Bighit as a company (whom Enhypen are half signed to as they are under Belift) dont have a history of having the oldest as a leader - from a cultural point of view especially in South Korea where age seniority matters a lot it makes sense. I think a reason Heesung also didn't want to be a leader is as the oldest there is always going to be a blockade which might make the other members not wanna talk freely about ideas to him because he is the oldest, aswell as the fact that he would have way too much on his plate as he is the center and the fact that as the oldest members he does have the responsibility of being the eldest. As a team in Enhypen Jungwon is the most neutral and a middle ground in terms of age, as a team they need a person who can mediate and make decisions impartially for the team, which is what Junwon is fit to do, hence him being leader makes sense. I think its gonna work out for K too, he's actually gonna debut with Taki in his home country which is really great. You should definitely check out a variety show (it's a two episode special): Playground. It's a show which allows seniors and juniors of labels to play games with each other and TXT and Enhypen are on it together - so you can imagine how chaotic the two reps were lmao... Btw, thank you for the reactions. They were really fun to watch every Monday : )

Bina

They announced that there is gonna be a new group from BigHit Japan with K, Taki. Nicholas, EJ, and Kyungmin and additional members.

Tahlia

i was shocked but also not shocked when i found out heeseung wasnt the leader but it makes sense. Heeseung is already an ACE himself with singing,dancing and etc. But on top of that, he is the eldest member which comes with more responsibility. Having heeseung as the leader would just be tons of responsibility on mainly him and it would be too much pressure. On their show Enhypen&hi, one of the episodes discussed who was gonna be the leader. As they were going through their own thoughts and criteria Jungwon and Heeseung were great canadiates and it made sense why Jungwon became the leader. Even at his age (he's the second youngest). I hope you guys end up watching their show enhypen&hi.

Tahlia

I completely agree with your input on them being set on debuting 7 members. i thought it was very odd and normally companies avoid debuting same sex groups with the same number of members for that very reason. They run the risk of being compared to BTS for that and I think they could've debuted as 8 or 9 and would've stood out a lot more with less conflict

milky

You should watch Enhypen&Hi, It follows directly I-land, it shows the behind the scenes of I-land right after the finale, and leads to the first album of Enhypen. It's not very long too. Heeseung wasn't chosen as leader because he already has a big role as the main vocal and oldest member, so he thought it would put too much on his shoulders + talking about problems without worrying about the age aspect. Jungwon also seems to fit as leader, you can watch this on Enhypen&Hi too ! K and Ta-Ki are debuting with EJ, Kyungmin and Nicholas and other membres who aren’t announced yet as a group with Big Hit Japan.

Marie

episode 2: https://youtu.be/tw3DuI6CAgY

tia

Will u guys watch ENHYPEN AND HI????

Cluster

episode 1: https://youtu.be/00MBzKHRs2Q

tia

also txt and enhypen were actually in a show together before enhypen officially debuted and it aired a little over a month ago if you wanna check that out it's sort of like run but with txt and enhypen where you see them bond a bit more if you want the link

tia

jungwon can not only understand both sides but he's also able to talk well and that's something you need when you are a leader, you have to focus on everyone's opinion and try to make everyone come into an understanding with both the company and the group, being the leader is much more than just putting your team first but it's also not being afraid to talk with them or the company and set boundaries with each other and jungwon has the personality for that according to the videos be lift put out when deciding the leader and the rest of the group seemed to agree :)

tia

the reason heesung isn't enhypen's leader is because he's already their ace, he's talent in singing, dancing, and rapping, in a way he's the one that sets the bar for the other members not to say that the others aren't talented because they are 100% talented but heesung just brings a bit more and on top of that he's the eldest in enhypen so he has this responsibility to look after the members and be there for them while also having to set the bar so they can all grow if he was leader it would be way too much for heesung it would make it for him to lead while also having to comfort the members when something goes wrong so that's why he didn't want to be the leader it would've taken a physical and mental toll on him and everyone actually decided that jungwon would be best because he's not the oldest nor the youngest he can understand both sides

tia

enhypen has a show after their debut called enhypen & hi they just started their second season of it, season one is them working to debut and the making and also in episode 1 a little behind the scenes of iland after the final

Montana 🎀

Yall should watch enhypen&hi season 1 to find our what process they went through before debuting. Their first day at work, how they chose the leader and also album preparation. The first episode started right after iland ended.

vmin bts

Idk if you guys knew, but during that specific voting season K got in a controversy on Twitter where people found his old twitter account and translated some of his tweets that a lot of people deemed racist. And even though he didn’t debut in enhypen, K and some of the other I-Landers are set to debut in Bighit’s new Japanese group. Geonu also has his own personal twitter account where he thanked fans for his birthday projects @/geonu___ ! I also recommend checking out enhypen&hi which takes place right after this episode up to debut (I personally like to recommend that cause it brings out the boys personalities more) and enhypen&hi s2 just started taking place right after debut :)

Kenzie

I-land ended in september 2020 not 2019, enhypen had their debut in november + belift is a joint venture between Bighit ent & CJ ENM. Basically both of them half own belift

Ivy

EEEEEEEEEE LEGGOOO

JamMmin
