Jung Hyeon-gyu, the winner of “Devil’s Plan 2,” revealed his reasons for returning to compete in Season 3.

The production press conference for Netflix’s new reality show “Devil’s Plan: Dead Again” (hereinafter referred to as “Devil’s Plan 3”) was held at the Mondrian Hotel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the 5th. Co-directors PD Jung Jong-yeon and PD Choi Yun-hee, along with cast members Jang Dong-min, Hong Jin-ho, Ha Seok-jin, Oh Hyun-min, Jung Hyeon-gyu, Nucksal, Seo Chul-gu, Shin Dong, John Park, Jaejae, Stella Zhang, Yuri Sa, Kim Dong-jae, Lee Do, Jeong Won-young, and Hyeon Gyeong-ryeol, attended the event.

“Devil’s Plan 3” is a reality show that determines a single winner from among legends who have dominated brain-based survival games and emerging powerhouse players, set against an expanded stage and unpredictable variables. A total of 16 players—the largest cast in the series’ history—take part, completing a dream lineup that includes past champions, top-tier survival predators, and rising stars.

On this day, Jung Hyeon-gyu was asked about his reasons for returning to compete, given that he had received harsh criticism despite winning the previous season. He bowed his head once again, saying, “Since appearing on ‘Devil’s Plan 2,’ I have thought a great deal. I believed that as long as I won, it did not matter what means or methods I used, but due to my inexperience, I failed to consider the viewers watching. In that regard, I am still reflecting on the fact that I caused trouble for many people, including the audience.”

Shortly after, he boldly stated, “However, I wanted to prove myself this season by addressing those shortcomings with a more mature attitude. With that mindset, I decisively chose to challenge ‘Devil’s Plan 3.’”

He named Jang Dong-min, who holds the remarkable record of five consecutive survival wins, as his main competitor. Jung Hyeon-gyu said, “He is a formidable rival. Because Jang Dong-min is so well-known, I also wanted to see how we would measure up against each other directly. You will find out the result when you watch the broadcast,” piquing interest.

“Devil’s Plan 3” consists of 14 episodes and will be released exclusively on Netflix over three weeks starting from the 10th.

Meanwhile, last year, during his win in “Devil’s Plan 2,” Jung Hyeon-gyu faced harsh criticism claiming he had been “handed the victory” by actress Yoon So-hee, who participated alongside him, and was even embroiled in romance rumors. Ultimately, he directly denied the rumors of a relationship with Yoon So-hee in an interview commemorating his win in “Devil’s Plan 2.”
