Kyuhyun is receiving backlash from Korean netizens following his recent appearance on Netflix's 'Devil's Plan.'
Earlier in the series, Kyuhyun received a favorable response from viewers, being praised for his clever gameplay. However, as the show progressed, his actions sparked backlash with viewers accusing him of being rude, manipulative, and lacking integrity in the survival game show.
Many viewers slammed Kyuhyun for engaging in "politics" rather than focusing on solving the puzzles, which is the core element of the game. Many viewers pointed out that instead of showcasing his intelligence, Kyuhyun seems more interested in forming and breaking alliances to serve his own survival.
One netizen wrote, "Other than finding the clock, what did Kyuhyun actually do? He was just busy with political maneuvering and cliques. Never come on a survival show again."
Also, another latest point of criticism has been his attitude toward fellow contestant Kang Ji Young. Several viewers found his tone condescending and unnecessarily aggressive, with one saying, “What’s with the way he talks to her? Does he owe her money or something?” Others added, “He's been consistently rude to her throughout the game; it’s hard to watch.”

Another major complaint is Kyuhyun’s inconsistent gameplay. Netizens cited instances where he would form alliances to eliminate a contestant, only to change targets later when it suited him. Another netizen questioned, "He said he wanted to take down Hyun Joon, then suddenly turned on Hyun Gyu instead. Why even make alliances if he’s just going to flip whenever he wants?"
Many viewers expressed disappointment in his attempts to justify his actions. They are criticizing the singer for tainting his image on the show and ruining his public reputation.
They commented:
"What's with his tone? It's so annoying?"
"Kyuhyun isn't even caring about his image anymore. What's gotten into him after appearing on so many variety shows?"
"I'm having different opinions about Kyuhyun after this show."
"What Kang Ji Young said is so true. Why is Kyuhyun speaking like that?"
"I really don't understand why he has to show his worst side if he's going to continue to be in the entertainment industry."
"I think this is his true character coming out."
"Why is he talking to Kang Ji Young like that?"
"He was the worst. I'm so disappointed in him."
"He got so triggered by what Kang Ji Young said because what she said is true."
"He was the one who created cliques, but acted like he didn't. Wow."
"I mean, if he was going to betray his teammates, then be upfront about it. Why does he have to justify his actions?"
"I don't want to see Kyuhyun anymore."
"These survival shows are only fun when the contestants are smart and really solve the puzzles with wits, but all he's doing is political play."
"Please don't come out on these survival shows anymore."
"His image is plummeting."
"They need to stop casting celebrities who create alliances like this and need to cast people to really play the game."
"He's such a coward. My facial expression was the same as Kang Ji Young's as soon as I heard Kyuhyun's excuse."
"What’s with the way he talks to her? Does he owe her money or something?"
