Netflix's 'Devil's Plan: Death Room' Crowns Jung Hyun-kyu as Winner Amidst Intense Drama

Netflix's reality show 'Devil's Plan: Death Room' has concluded its second season with unprecedented intensity and drama. Jung Hyun-kyu emerged as the winner, taking home the grand prize of 380 million won.

The final episode, released on the 20th, was filled with unexpected twists and turns, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. Jung Hyun-kyu, who was on the brink of elimination during the fifth main match 'Balance Mancala,' made a stunning comeback. The unexpected reformation of alliances led to mixed emotions among the players. The elimination of a key player left their alliance in tears, while a long-hidden secret revealed by another player caused shock and anger among the remaining contestants.

The unforeseen twists and the resulting fallout triggered a chain reaction of conflicts and confrontations among the players. The alliance of the 'Prison East' players became stronger, but the brutal fate of the prison matches, where players had to face off for survival, was unavoidable. After the fifth prison match 'Wall Go' and the sixth main match 'Doubt Betting,' only three players remained. The winner of 'Doubt Betting' advanced to the finals, while the remaining two faced off in the sixth and final prison match 'Formula Pyramid.' This led to the elimination of the twelfth player, leaving Jung Hyun-kyu and Yoon So-hee to battle it out in a three-round final.

In a fiercely competitive final, Jung Hyun-kyu claimed victory. He expressed his thoughts, saying, "Winning by any means necessary is what 'Devil's Plan' is all about. I gave my best at every moment."

'Devil's Plan: Death Room,' directed by 'Brain Survival Master' Jung Jong-yeon, captivated audiences with its innovative and intense games and intricate rules. The diverse characters of the 14 players, along with alliances, betrayals, and hidden secrets, heightened the thrill of the survival show. The players' fierce determination to win, their thrilling strategies, and the evolving relationships added to the excitement.

The show will host a fan event on the 23rd in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, where fans can meet the cast, including Justin H. Min, Kang Ji-young, Kim Ha-rin, Park Sang-yeon, Seven High, Son Eun-yoo, Yoon So-hee, Lee Se-dol, Lee Seung-hyun, Jung Hyun-kyu, Choi Hyun-joon, Tino, and director Jung Jong-yeon.

Meanwhile, Jung Hyun-kyu faced controversy for his remarks during the 'Balance Mancala' match, where he made sarcastic comments to Choi Hyun-joon, a KAIST mathematics graduate. In response, Jung changed his social media profile to 'I'm sorry' and reflected on his behavior, stating, "I realized how unpleasant I was. That was me. We're on good terms now."

Jung Hyun-kyu is currently studying Physical Education at Seoul National University and has a Mensa IQ score of 156. He gained popularity from the dating show 'Transit Love 2' and was in a real-life relationship with Seong Hae-eun, although breakup rumors surfaced in April after their couple posts were deleted from social media.
