'Devil's Plan 2' Jung Hyun-kyu is at the center of controversy. From rumors of a Tinder boyfriend to a 6-time Seoul National University student, a silver spoon in his mouth, and military exemption… What is the real reason he is being criticized?

1. Controversy over the tone and sarcasm in Devil's Plan 2

In the recently released episode 8 of 'Devil's Plan: Death Room', Jung Hyun-kyu asked Choi Hyun-jun, "Do you know how to do math?" during a game, drawing the ire of viewers.

It may sound like a joke, but the tone and atmosphere were quite sarcastic, and viewers felt uncomfortable. After receiving a flood of malicious comments, he changed his Instagram profile to “I’m sorry” to indirectly convey feedback.

2. Is the Tinder guy controversy real?

When Jung Hyun-gyu appeared on “Transfer Love 2 ,” there was a post on a community saying, “I saw him on Tinder before.”


There was an article that said he was memorable because of his looks, but as this was being circulated again, the image of him as a 'Tinder guy' was added. Of course, this is just a claim by netizens, and he has never admitted it.

3. After 6 attempts, you got into Seoul National University. Did you study hard?


He directly revealed on the broadcast, "I did other things along the way, but after 6 attempts, I got into Seoul National University's Department of Physical Education." In fact, some say it was his 7th attempt since he was born in 1998.

The effort put in by repeat students is amazing, but some people criticize it or see it as over-hyped academic marketing.

4. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and even exempted from military service?

Jeong Hyeon-gyu boasts of his golden spoon specs, including his parents running a private equity fund and construction company, living in Banpo Jai, and owning several cars, including an Audi.


There are also rumors that he was exempted from military service as an American citizen.

5. Rumors of breakup with Sung Hae-eun… Playboy image?

Seong Hae-eun and Lee Sung-woo, who were a real-life couple in 'Transfer Love 2', had their Love Stagram posts deleted and unfollowed, sparking rumors of their breakup.


At the same time, rumors that he was a womanizer resurfaced.

I think that because I came from a dating program, I react more sensitively to dating issues.
