Participants Named Niki Actually Have Dancing Skills and Impressive Stage Performance. This 14-year-old participant had a place in the I-LAND hostel.
"I-LAND" presents the latest episode on Friday (10/7). In the latest episode of the Mnet survival event, a Japanese participant named Niki reaped negative comments from the audience because of her bad attitude.
Niki actually has dancing skills and an impressive stage performance. In the inaugural episode, the 14-year-old participant also gained a place in the I-LAND dormitory along with 12 others. While 11 other participants who did not pass were brought into the Ground, a training area where there was no chance to debut.
Niki initially entered I-LAND with Taki, a 14-year-old participant who also came from Japan. The audience quickly fell in love with their friendship, but were surprised when Niki instead chose to send Taki to the Ground.
In the second episode, Taki remains loyal to Niki by forgiving the "betrayal" of his friend. He even supported Niki when he danced in the middle of the I-LANDers show. Many viewers hope that Niki shows the same love to Taki.
Unfortunately the audience's hopes were dashed in episode three. When Taki was chosen to return to I-LAND and Niki was demoted to Ground, Niki did not look happy about it. Niki was then criticized by the audience for having a bad attitude, being selfish and lacking teamwork skills, especially when having to take care of a teammate who was sick.
However, Niki's supporters claim that Mnet does not show the whole story and that Niki is another victim of evil editing. "Evil editing" is making video edits as if participants gave a negative reaction to their colleagues.
Fans also reminded the audience that Niki was only 14 years old and that there was a fine line between constructive criticism and intimidation. No one, including entertainers and public figures, may experience cyberbullied under any circumstances.
"I-LAND" itself only presents the third episode and there is still much to be learned about the trainees. Fans hope viewers will be able to see Niki's new side and fall in love with all the trainees as the show progresses.
