Will Kyuhyun apologize after criticism over The Devil's Plan season 2 gameplay? Singer says ‘Wish I had made…'
The Devil's Plan: Death Room also known as The Devil's Plan season 2 aired its finale episode on May 20, with college student Jung Hyun Gyu coming out on top as the winner. One other strong contender among the cast was Super Junior member Kyuhyun, who made an exit after some troublesome moments with other participants. A major moment that has been causing backlash on the internet is his conversation with Kang Ji Young where netizens are calling out his tone. Now, the singer has clarified his stance regarding the matter. After being flamed for talking unkindly to the news broadcaster, who left just after he exited, Kyuhyun took to the fan communication platform Bubble to speak to his admirers. He tried to calm their nerves, saying, 'They probably couldn't include everything in the broadcast, so the production team and I think the same that it's a shame [all of it was not revealed or I wish had made it in too], but it is what it is. I'll tell you the full story later. Don't be too upset! And just in case [you think otherwise], [I'm clarifying that] the participants are so close, we really understand each other and have such a great relationship, so please see us in a good light. Everyone has their own perspective!' While Kyuhyun has not publicly apologized to the concerned people, it appears that the singer has clarified it personally and plans on revealing the truth to his fans. At the same time, he has also maintained that since everyone has their own 'perspective', it's probably not possible to please everyone.

Why is Super Junior's Kyuhyun facing backlash from The Devil's Plan Season 2 viewers? Fans call out his 'victim play'
Super Junior's Kyuhyun is currently facing a wave of backlash online following his recent actions on Netflix's high-stakes reality show The Devil's Plan. He was initially celebrated for his sharp mind and calm personality. However, the singer's shift in behavior throughout the show has left a sour impression on many viewers. Some are now calling his strategy calculated, dishonest, and lacking in sincerity. When The Devil's Plan premiered, Kyuhyun quickly emerged as one of the more promising contestants. His early victories in puzzle-based challenges and his composed social demeanor earned him praise across social media and online forums. Many admired him for his logical thinking and seemed to view him as a strong contender for the ultimate title. However, as the competition grew fiercer, Kyuhyun 's gameplay allegedly took a drastic turn. What once appeared to be a clever strategy now seems, to some viewers, more like 'manipulation.' Instead of focusing on the intellectual challenges, Kyuhyun began relying more heavily on strategic alliances: forming groups, shifting loyalties, and leveraging influence to eliminate stronger players. Such tactics are not uncommon in survival-based games. But fans argued that his moves lacked consistency and undermined the show's intended focus on intellect and fair competition. Several viewers criticized the idol for 'playing politics' rather than puzzles. A recurring sentiment among netizens is that Kyuhyun's approach prioritizes social dominance over brainpower. This is contrary to what the show aims to celebrate. Many pointed to specific instances where Kyuhyun would team up with certain players for mutual benefit, only to betray them late. They described it as a cold and opportunistic manner. Another point of controversy has been his interactions with fellow contestant and actress Kang Ji Young. Viewers claimed Kyuhyun's tone in several conversations with her came off as condescending, abrupt, and unnecessarily aggressive. This added fuel to the fire. Many felt that his conduct crossed the line of healthy competition and bordered on disrespect. Online communities have since been filled with critical commentary. Some fans expressed disappointment. They had expected more integrity and logic-based performance from Kyuhyun, especially given his early potential. Others expressed concern that the singer's onscreen persona on The Devil's Plan could damage his public image beyond the show. The show is directed by veteran producer Jung Jong Yeon. He is known for masterminding shows like The Genius, The Great Escape, and Girls' High School Mystery Class. The Devil's Plan brings together contestants from various walks of life. They include celebrities, scholars, and online personalities. Over the course of seven days, they live together and compete in games designed to test mental strength, logic, and social strategy. The winner is crowned the ultimate brain among them.

Singer Kim Hyun-sung returns, overcoming singer's nodule
After 15 years of silence, beloved balladeer reclaims his voice While some artists dream of bigger concerts, world tours or exploring new genres, Kim Hyun-sung had a simpler, deeply earnest dream: to sing again. Kim, who debuted in 1997, captivated listeners with his beautiful tone and emotional delivery. Now, after a 15-year hiatus, he returns Sunday with 'Trying to Love Again,' which marks his first official release since 2010. Kim was forced to step away from music due to persistent vocal cord issues, and spent years in rehabilitation and training to get his voice back. The new track is a nostalgic pop ballad inspired by the 1990s, the genre and style in which Kim is most confident. 'A few years ago, I wasn't even sure if I could continue as a singer. To be able to release a great song again — it's overwhelming and something I'm deeply grateful for,' Kim said in an interview in Gangnam, southern Seoul, Wednesday. Cho Young-soo, a hit-maker since the 2000s, crafted a track in a 1990s ballad style tailored to Kim's strengths. Lyricist Kim Eana penned the lyrics with great care, softening hard consonants to avoid straining Kim's vocal cords. 'When I first read the lyrics, the word 'earnestness' stood out right away,' Kim shared. "That one word felt like it was comforting all the years I had struggled." Though the song has an analog, emotional quality that contrasts with current K-pop trends, Kim noted that the composition was simplified so that even younger listeners who are used to repeated beats, for example, could appreciate it. Impressively, he also hits a high C-sharp in the third octave — the same note range that once defined his music. It was the song 'Heaven' that brought Kim widespread acclaim, but it also marked the start of his vocal decline. 'I developed vocal nodules in my late 20s and continued singing despite it, which caused more damage,' Kim explained. As vocal strain led to repeated onstage mistakes, he eventually stepped away from the spotlight and began a quiet life as an office worker in 2018. The desire to reclaim his voice never left him. After work, he dedicated himself to vocal training. 'There were certain negative labels that defined me — 'a fallen singer,' 'a singer who lost his voice.' I couldn't let my career end like that.' 'There were moments I truly doubted if I could ever recover,' said Kim, noting that he has reclaimed about 85 percent of his full vocal capacity. His return to the public eye began with an appearance on the second season of 'Sing Again,' a JTBC competition that gives forgotten singers a second chance. Despite his damaged vocal cords, Kim's perseverance on stage moved judges and viewers alike. He vividly remembers the moment Super Junior's Kyuhyun, one of the judges, wept while watching his performance. 'That performance could've easily ended as just another failed comeback by an old singer. But Kyuhyun cried for someone he had never even met before, and that completely changed the energy in the studio.' Before releasing his new song, Kim personally shared it with Kyuhyun, who offered his full support. 'With this song, I want to say, 'I've made it back,'' Kim said, promising to continue sharing good music. 'I want to reach a point where people no longer talk about my vocal issues. I'd love to just go on as one of many artists simply releasing one's song.'
