Yes, I reacted to Kyu! 🤗

Marco Gennuso

Daniel is now a soloist and his name is Kyu and debut two month ago with a song Tempo. I think you did reaction to him if I’m not mistaken. I’m watching your reaction to I-Land. Oh by way I think K is 6’2 in height.

The cameras everywhere - ENHYPEN grew up on camera. And that’s why we joke that they are always paranoid fir cameras and can spot a camera a mile away.

Omg i feel the same way about Jungwon and Daniel like i've been watching recent enha content and randomly thinking wow he looks like Daniel from i-land lmao

No no, I love reading all the nitty gritty details haha. Thank you for sharing! I just wish they showed more of the performances instead of 30 seconds of them 😅😅

Marco Gennuso

Haha, don't worry I'm still gonna watch survival shows! Just trying to diversify my content on Patreon 🤗

Also, ages in this show are pre change to international. So take away a year or two from everyone. Daniel is the youngest. I think 14, but could have still been 13. Ni-Ki is next youngest on the show and is 14.

Well that was fun 🙂. I’m so excited to see your reaction to the rest of the episodes you haven’t gotten to see yet because there are some iconic events yet to be experienced. I’m also happy to be with you from the beginning, because I always have a lot to say. Probably much to the dismay of the reactors 😂. If I’m too much, just tell me to shush lol. Couple observations from this episode (don’t worry, I am very mindful of not giving spoilers for future episodes). 1) Ni-Ki. Keep in mind always that while this is a Big Hit (Hybe comes later) show, it is also still MNet (CJ ENM). You are familiar with MNet. We know how they like to Edit. The show sold Ni-Ki / Taki besties vibe, but also glossed over they only trained together for a short time and then Ni-Ki joined Nicholas and Hanbin unit to train. They are from the same country about the same age. Naturally they will gravitate towards each other, but not the bestest of best friends. They have known each other for a short time. Ni-Ki moved to Korea at 13, by himself, knowing zero Korean with a drive and a dream to debut in a group that will take the world by storm. He’s experienced the possibility as a SHINEE kid. Boy is DEDICATED to the dream. Just something to think about along the way. 2) Geonu. I’m going to preface saying I like him. So don’t twist this as not liking the kid. I agree with you and disagree with you about his Heeseung voting. My problem with it is that he voted on a different standard than all the other contestants he evaluated. He had heard the rumors of how good Hee is and set a standard in his mind for him specifically and when that standard wasn’t met, didn’t vote for him. It’s a very K-pop standard toxic culture. Fans set a standard and when idol do something different or don’t meet those standards they tear them down when the idol never asked to be placed on that pedestal. And Geonu admitted that’s why he didn’t vote for him. Because he was less than what he had set as a standard to reach for Heeseung personally. I agree if he was judged in the same level as everyone else and Geonu said he still just wasn’t impressed, I’d be ok with it. But being judged on a different standard is what I wasn’t on board with. I also noted how Heeseung, even knowing Geonu didn’t vote for him, still voted for Geonu. Thought it was classy of Hee.

Marco! So happy for this! You had said you were taking a competition show break so I was sad bc I’m such an idol competition junkie! Loved i-land and K was always my number 1. I am still salty over his evil editing and the results however I knew he would come out a winner somewhere so thank you @team!

He is Jeong Ichan, the guy that auditioned with Jiwoong, Jongwoo and Seunghwan (32:24 in your reaction ep2), then missed his high note on Danger, ended up being the last survivor in round 1, Then killed the IU song with Daeul and Doha and then didn't put in the effort in Switch, then got eliminated in the second round. This is his profile: https://kpop.fandom.com/wiki/Ichan

Yes, I remember it was during Covid now. I wonder if the isolation concept would have still been a thing if there was no Covid situation? Interesting nonetheless!

Marco Gennuso

Thank you for the info! Wow, I've watched Geonu now in Build Up and Road To Kingdom: Ace of Ace! Kyungmin from 8Turn?? You're joking 😅😅 (Also in Road To Kingdom: Ace of Ace). Jaebeom was on Boys Planet?? I'll have to play through my reaction to that and see what I've said about him.

Marco Gennuso

iland is intense lol make sure you have a box of tissue and snacks near by

Diana Jackson

Thank you so much for watching ILand! I can't wait. By the way, the training periods mentioned at the beginning are only for the period that they trained at Hybe, because Jungwon trained at SM for 3 years before training at Hybe/Bighit for 1 year and 4 months.

Beth LaRue

Jung Jaebeon is Ichan from boys Planet. He is Sunoo's Best friend.
