[UPDATE: MNET confirms there were injuries but says they weren't trying to cover it up]There is growing concern over lack of safety precautions for Mnet's I-LAND (one participant was injured)

[Moon Jellyfish]

I hope the injured person is alright and it wasn't too serious

yikes mnet survival shows are cursed or smth

[UMJI MOODS]

These television stations learned absolutely nothing from Wendy's accident. 

[hynapia]

WTF poor staff and poor the boy that was injured. And who's even petitioning to support those two??

Mnet shows are a mess. I was actually excited for this show but idk what's even gonna happen now.

the last part of the article about the petition makes this journalist seem a bit...????  i guess the bad publicity articles coming now that it's getting so close to the date. attention..

nonetheless people get hurt all the time on set. i feel bad for the staff and contestant.  hopefully no one else is hurt and the set is fixed. 

 

edit: UPDATE - [200624] Statement release at today's Press conference:

yeah mnet should've never been given the opportunity to host another survival show. I hope the staff and contestant recover and the other trainees stay safe

[turn it up!]

I'm confused about the petition thing. Like who made the petition to support those 2? The director of this show?

that last part is weird to me.

honestly since i assume bighit have invested in this show too, it would be nice they give some advice to ment/cj about transparency and releasing detail clarification statements in a timely matter. it's better to know the facts (negative or positive). then just be stringed alone by sensational journalist.

exactly it's random af. seems like it has nothing to do with i-land, but was just added on by the journalist to add more fire to this situation. idk tho?

tbh I'm not sure which part you're referring to but this show is literally a collaboration between bighit and CJ ENM so of course they invested

now there's people in twitter (mostly oneits) already shitting on the iland trainees that don't have anything to do with this. They should clarify who are they referring to tbh.

Did that say one fractured their arm? That...no this show needs to stop production to insure the safety of the contestants are met.

Yes I know it's collab. But i'm talking specifically invested meaning financially too. Of course, we don't know what percentage Bighit put in..but still apparently A LOT of money was spent on this show and it's set. It has been in the works for 3 years.

not surprise. people are going to make comparison to the whole producer situation. 

this is why i said official statement should be released to give more details on what happen. apologize if necessary too.

[satoori]

apparently i-land have started to put banners up in the streets of seoul and the show has been positive trending too. so...the timing idk...

on twitter i'm seeing others say not to believe everything without confirmations.

In theory a stage like that may seem cool, but yeah that looks hazardous
