Popular Former “I-LAND” Contestant’s Heated Post About The Show Sparks Divided Reactions
A popular former I-LAND contestant sparks mixed reactions with his heated post about the show.

Recently, former contestant Daniel, now known as Kyu, gained attention for his heated tweet about the show.

Kyu has re-debuted with a whole new image, but netizens have noticed the star still being asked about the show, seemingly not wanting to be linked to the show and his past on a new step of his career.
@intoshinyu He deserves all the love not just because he’s Daniel from Iland but KYUDED as a soloist 🩷 #foryou #foryoupage #kyuded #danielkim
On April 30, Kyu shared a tweet on his personal X account, saying “f*cckkk iland.”

Many defended the reaction, sharing how he joined the show at a young age and it seemingly sparked a lot of bad memories with the way the contestants were treated and managed. Others added that it must be hard to try and establish a new career with people still bringing up the past.
Imagine being a solo artist doing your own thing, and people still act like you’re stuck in a 2020 survival show. He’s literally building his own path now, Move on people!
