“I-LAND 2” Producers And Judge Monika Accused Of “Forced Hate” Towards A Popular Contestant
Netizens have accused Mnet’s I-LAND 2 and a judge of “forced hate” towards contestant Kim Sujung.
Sujung was already known to netizens as a talented dancer who appeared on Street Dance Girls Fighter 2 as part of “TEAM MANNEQUEEN.”
Netizens believe that during the past episodes, Mnet has been doing Sujung “dirty” with their evil-editing, and in the recent episode, they feel that one judge has been “singling” out Sujung with “forced hate,” and it’s Monika.
In the recent episode, Sujung was on a team for a dance performance where they performed BLACKPINK Lisa‘s song “MONEY.” They impressed the netizens at home, and even the judges seemed impressed while watching the contestants.
As a professional dancer, Sujung gained a lot of attention for her skills and moves.
Yet, at one point, when the spotlight was on Sujung to do a specific move…
Monika was caught criticizing it, saying it didn’t seem clean-cut enough.
The critiques seemingly led to the scores as she got the joint lowest of the group with 77, alongside Son Juwon and Mai.
MAIN DANCER JUDGE SCORES
1. BANG JEEMIN – 97 points
2. JEONG SAEBI – 81 points
3. KIM SUJUNG – 77 points
3. MAI – 77 points
3. SON JUWON – 77 points#ILAND2 #아이랜드2 @mnetiland pic.twitter.com/e0R9LZKcEO— ILAND ɴ/α CENTRAL ⚘ (@ILAND2CENTRAL) June 20, 2024
When the episode ended, netizens believed that Monika “hated” Sujung and criticized the scoring of the contestants, especially Sujung and Juwon, who are trained dancers.

On TikTok, fans were also shocked how Sujung and Juwon got the lowest.

PLEASE PRIORITIZE HER. SHE’S NOT PRODUCER FAVORITE, AND MNET HATE GER.

However, when the topic of Monika’s comments and treatment towards Sujung were discussed on TikTok…
@kimsujungdefender just say you hate her since the beginning because she want to be an idol monika. you always throwing hate to her every perfomance. shame on you, and im so disappointed. — HELLO, PLEASE KEEP VOTING KIM SUJUNG. DONT EVER THINK SHE SAFE. SHE NEVER SAFE. PLEASE PRIORITIZE HER. SHE’S NOT PRODUCER FAVORITE, AND MNET HATE GER.

The views were more mixed. While some agreed that Monika was being unfair, especially compared to the other contestants, many pointed out that her credentials mean that she is a much better person to critique someone, even if they’re a talented dancer like Sujung.
Mnet has been accused of rigging, evil-editing, and bias towards contestants in the past, and it seems like netizens believe the the same is true for I-LAND 2.
