    For me Ni-ki's journey to become a member in enhypen is the most heartbreaking one because of all the criticism from other fans and him being unable to communicate easily because of the language barrier and him unable to express his feelings, how he lost his confidence after staying so much in the ground and him thinking that he isnt skilled enough when in fact he is the most amazing dancer that has a really nice vocal color. when he was called to become a member of enha i cried my eyes out and when i saw his reaction it broke my heart so much. Seeing him now as a member of enhypen realy made me realize how i-land took such a toll on him to the point he can't even relax and be himself, I am so glad that in enhypen he is now acting like his age and he seems to be really having fun. I am also glad that the other enhypen members treasure him so much, I can't wait to see them grow together and become one of the best kpop acts (heart emoji)

      Same. But being selfish isn't always a bad thing. I am selfish but it's human nature. To say your not selfish is wrong. He wanted to win and he will do anything to get that except hurting people and he should. But that can't be termed as selfish. That was the first time I was really disappointed about Mnet. i didn't know much about Mnet or care about it but when they started to show Niki in that light. I got really mad. Evil editing.

      Same, I don't why people saw him that way. Being a dancer is a lot of pressure and well with time you become a little different from the others becuase we know how we do things. We have been working to become stars for years. But people just want to make us feel bad sometimes. We have a lot of pressure to be perfect but people just don't realize that we give our whole life to this just for people sending hate to him went he was in I-LAND. It wasn't fair that they will treat him that way😭. I just can't some people just send hate we out knowing what is truely happeing and how it can affect people.

    idk if anyone else saw it, but he has a *leader* mindset even if he isn't aware of it. people naturally are drawn to him, not only because of his skill at dancing, but his ability to create an atmosphere of hard work and diligence. take the grounders Fire performance as an example, he lead that and they killed it because of his leadership! everyone looked so hungry to win. to have that at the age of 14 is insane and really is a gift that ppl weren't able to see during the show. they mistaken his strong drive to win with selfishness and i will always feel bad for the hate he (only 14, a kid) got by a bunch of sensitive people who prob doesn't know what it was like to live alone at only 14 in a foreign country with a foreign language as theirs just for the slim possibility of debuting. anyway, look at him now. he is loved by so many people and you can just tell how much happier he is. this boy got so many solos!! not to mention he has the most loving hyungs and most loyal/supportive fandom (nikitties) with him 🥰🥰🥰 ty to those who rooted for him since day1 and those who are now

    Some viewers seem to have forgotten just how young Ni-Ki is. He had to move to another country to be in a highly competitive program. Plus, understanding and communicating in a second language. The pressure he felt had to have been enormous. I think Ni-Ki is more the quiet type. With time and experience, he will open up more.

    Everyone took advantage of Niki because he was young. He had low rankings throughout the whole show and he was basically always in the ground, where he was always burdened by having to teach everyone the moves and help them get out of the ground while he stayed there. And when he finally ranked high everyone was just confused about it. He’s an amazing dancer but he was just ignored.
    And when K said that he only thinks about himself really angered me. Niki helped everyone in the ground and was constantly the leader even though it was slowly draining him of his confidence.

    it was heartbreaking that almost no one was talking about ni-ki in weverse during I-Land days, i always cried when i see ppl hating him in the chatroom like calling him 'talentless', saying he deserve to be eliminated cuz he have a 'bad personality'.. I was so confused that time for I never saw anything wrong with what he was doing.. Some ppl need to learn that he was still a child, learn to understand them and not jump to conclusions nor believe rumours. I was concerned since he never smiled, but as ppl started to recognize his talent and potential, when he finally climbed up the ranking, I was so shocked and happy at the same time bc its the first time I saw him smile (well not really since he was smiling on their way to iland when they were introducing the applicants, but it was the first time based when they started).. The ilanders were shocked too. He worked so hard for his dream, the story of him immediately dancing too just after he woke up. It was a very hard time for ni-ki and us nikitties, but we never gave up. I believed in him since the very first, I'm so happy that he reached his dream and he finslly seems very happy and is now being playful. He is so chaotic. He deserves to be loved. I love him so much!

    Ni-Ki suffered in i-land a lot and i’m glad that it has been paid off. What I’m most proud of is his growth. When he first entered i-land, his eagerness was up to the roof that he tend to think of himself more than others. That’s not particularly a bad thing, that’s actually great, but it didnt work for Ni-ki that well. He got eliminated in the first test, and then in ground, instead of just focusing on himself, he helped the team first in the best of his ability. He guided them, taught them, and was even very strict. A lot of people found him wrong since he was a bit short tempered, but he’s really just eager to perfect the team. He immediately changed from wanting rank 1 & focusing on himself to helping the grounders in need. After the second test, he still lead the team even when he didnt move up to i-land. And after losing the dance battle, it took a very huge toll on him that he didnt want to lead anymore, but in the end he still took the leader position not for himself but for the grounders. When he entered part 2 it didnt get better because even after always doing his best, he never got the badge. Before the results of the 3rd test, Ni-ki did so well that even Jake said it’s time for him to be in the purple room. But Ni-ki just pointed at the 7th bed. Before, he wanted part 1-2 & center because he was really eager to debut. But after everything that has happened, he didnt want to be on the highest ranks, but simply just wanted to be part of the 7. I’m so so glad he ranked 2 after the third test. And ofcourse, finally debuting!! I recently watched his live with Jake and Sunghoon (my dog is cuter line) and he’s very very happy. I’m so glad. I actually still think he’s too young to be in this shitty industry, but i’m relieved to know he’s in enhypen. He’s gonna grow so much more

      Damn I remember that time he said he didn't care if he gets to be in the purple room as long as he's part of the debut team, it doesn't matter to him as long as he debuts... in that moment I felt so desperate for him to debut that I swore that if he didn't make it, I might probably not support the group... I was this desperate I voted for him on my 2 accounts and forced my sister to make an account to vote for him too...
      When his name was called to debut, I actually just froze and just couldn't react right away but I was so happy for him...
      Honestly, I love all the members in ENHYPEN considering that all 7 of them that debuted were my top 7 (I was so close to crying when they were about to announce the last member because Sunoo was there and I thought he won't make it but he did, I was so relieved cuz my sister liked him but I forced her to vote for Ni-ki, I'm guilty for this)
      It was the 1st time I watched a survival show that I was really completely satisfied with all the members that debuted because all the one's I hoped to debut debuted... I just had more of a soft spot towards Ni-ki since he was so young and had so much talent and he reminded me so much of how Taemin was when he was way younger...

And whenever 11:11 PM, I wish that he's ok, that he'll debut. The feeling of having an anxiety thinking he might not be safe or is he fine physically and mentally or is he sleeping comfortably or is he eating well. Knowing that he almost has less screening time.
    He was criticized, trended in a wrong way, hated for his 'translated' words, misunderstood for his actions, downgrading his skills and talents, a freaking article abt his b4d attitud3 which doesn't makes sense, was predicted to be eliminated..
    He once lost hope, confidence and almost gave up.
    Yet, a 14-year-old kid who was critized made his debut last November 30, 2020. His fancams now have millions of views. He's loved by many and maybe the most popular now. The fruit of his hardwork.
    And I'm proud to say that during those times, I was there. Nikitties are there. We aren't his parents, sisters, relatives or even not his friends but whenever we see Ni-ki, proud is not enough. Proud is an understatement.

    Everybody knows Ni-Ki is extremly incredibly talented in dancing and his dancing skills never were doubted. Many people became his fans because of his amazing dance skills. Most of engenes don't consider Ni-Ki as a vocalist since he's not the best singer in the group, and engenes unofficially gave him a main rapper position. But the funny thing for me is that I noticed Ni-Ki because of his voice. Not rap, but singing voice. When I saw ENHYPEN's performance for the first time, I didn't know who is who and who is the best dancer, who is the main vocal and etc. I knew nothing about them, I haven't watched I-LAND at that time. But Ni-Ki's voice caught my attention and he became my bias immediately. Now I know and love them all, but Ni-Ki's voice is still and forever will be my favourite. I hope to see his growth in the future when people start appreciating him as a vocalist as well.

Also trusted ni-ki to be leader for fhe ground. There were a lot of judgements, misunderstanding and sad moments but now I am so proud of ni-ki, his more mature but also playful.

      ​@@Marv1383 sorry for my late reply, but I just wanna make it clear. What K said was not about the language barrier but about Ni-Ki not expressing his feelings. Every time K started scolding him, Ni-Ki mostly didn't say anything back or walked away. K wanted Ni-Ki to speak up and explain what's on his mind and why he did what he did - changing the choreo, not listening to the leader. Ni-Ki was desperate, K thought he's just selfish and yes, K couldn't understand him since K never was in danger of elimination. Ni-Ki should just open up and talk about that but he couldn't. He was only 14 after all, second maknae after Daniel, though many i-landers/grounders treated him like he's older and doesn't need any emotional support (nonsense). Plus, not only Ni-Ki but everybody in K's team had problems with openly sharing their opinions with K because he was tough as a leader.

To think that he had to go through this at such a young age.
    But all is well now. He debuted and is receiving lots of love and attention. I may have not followed iLand (I would've probably been more devastated for him if I did) and it's around 2 years late but I'm happy that he debuted and can't be thankful enough for people who really put him as an Enhypen member. Ni-Ki is one of my favorite dancers in kpop of all time.

      He was helping his teammates LONG before K’s comments. Honestly K was way too hard on him. It wasn’t like he made up his own choreography for one - it was something V did plus it was a BTS challenge and the producers had made a huge deal about it being an “individual’s” test not a group one. Also, K’s comment about him being selfish was ridiculous. K had not been in ground to see how much Ni-Ki ‘took the lead’ and helped ALL ground members. If K would have asked anyone there, every person could talk about a time Ni-ki helped them. K was always one of my favorite performers but he definitely had arrogance/control issues that he needed to work on. (It took his whole group confronting him about it before he started to change). He was way older than Ni-Ki and Ni-Ki looked up to him so much, K could have handled this so much better.
      Ni-Ki was working so hard and all the I-landers/Grounders loved him. If he was so selfish and only thought of himself no one would like him.
      Ni-Ki is a sweetheart and was from the 1st ep. The editing was just horrible!

    I'm not sure why people don't realize how damaging it can be to hate on a 14 y.o. (or honestly at any age) I can tell most of the viewers of i-land are definitely young, and I mean like under 18, so it may be difficult to watch the show without being affected by Mnet's editing. Still, it is extremely unfair to use one scene to rationalize the continuing hate for Ni-Ki throughout the show. As viewers, we're no trainees, we never trained like them, never experienced the desperation of wanting to debut.
    Rather than using the term "selfish," why couldn't Ni-Ki be described as ambitious, earnest, or determined? Someone made a good point of how Ni-Ki was never really "babied" by other contestants, and I feel that it has a lot to do with the vibe Ni-Ki gives off - independent. Boy is skilled and I'm sure people know that he has a lot of potential. However, just because he seems like a strong-willed boy, doesn't mean it makes it more justified to hate on him.
    I'm glad Ni-Ki is getting the recognition he deserves in Enhypen and his growing affection for his members. What triggers me still is how many people still watches clips of I-land on YT and proceeds to say things like "wow Ni-Ki was so selfish, hope he grows out of the arrogance in Enhypen." Like....???? WHAT bye. I will agree, however, that there is still room for growth. Okay, done venting 🤣 great video by the way!! really carries out the fury in me HAHAHHAA.
