In September 2023, Netflix's K-brain survival, The Devil's Plan, which will determine the main character of 500 million won, will be unveiled. Fans are paying keen attention to whether The Devil's Plan will become a new concept survival program that surpasses The Genius, which was considered the original genre entertainment and the highest level of survival games ever.
The Devil's Plan is drawing attention because it is the first entertainment program produced in partnership with Netflix, the world's No. 1 OTT company, since producer Jeong Jong-yeon, who created The Genius, quit CJ E&M and moved to a company founded by producer Kim Tae-ho.
Recruitment of general participants through auditions, game progression through camp, all-time prize money, and bold choices by Netflix are expected to differentiate it from survival games so far.

Who will be the winner who will take up to 500 million won in prize money in a meticulous brain battle between the participants. Let's dig into the information about the 12 participants who jumped into The Devil's Plan, the all-time brain survival game that Netflix has ambitiously prepared.
Player Info
In November last year, an audition was held for ordinary participants, and a video was released that they were looking for new players around the same time. However, it was carried out in strict secrecy so that nothing about the program as well as information about the players could be known.
In the process, Kwak Joon-bin's appearance was confirmed through a media outlet on June 25, and all players and program information were finally released on July 26.
KWAK JUN BIN
Kwak Joon-bin is a creator who runs YouTube related to world travel and food exploration, and is the first player to be revealed through an article among 12 participants in The Devil's Plan.
Kwak Joon-bin is loved by viewers for his unique affinity and humor, as shown in tvN's recently popular entertainment show, Busan Boys: Sydney Bound.
He is the best travel YouTuber with more than 1 million subscribers within 3 years of opening YouTube, 1.64 million now, and 350 million cumulative views on videos.
It looks friendly and comfortable like a friend living next door, but it is enjoying the highest popularity by filming a cosmetics commercial that only the best handsome men of the time are filming.
This is the first time that an Internet broadcaster has been immediately recruited to a Korean survival program, and the YouTube name is Kwak Tube, who is expected to show off his presence in the devil's plan with various foreign language skills, comfortable speech, quick adaptation and survival skills.
Kwak Joon-bin, along with science YouTuber Kwedo, is also an official fan community subscriber to the YouTube channel "Calm Down Man" (Lee Mal-nyeon), which is expected to be a point to watch how their friendship will work in the game.
And he participates in the devil's plan under the real name of Kwak Joon-bin, not Kwak Tube.
SEUNGKWAN
Seungkwan, a member of SEVENTEEN, a world-famous idol group, is the team's energizer and main vocalist. As soon as Seungkwan joined the company as a trainee, he sang so well that he was chosen as the main vocalist.
Amid news that Seung-kwan will join The Devil's Plan, his fans are showing a lot of interest in The Devil's Plan and Seung-kwan, leaving comments supporting his performance on various posts related to the program.
As a result, The Devil's Plan is expected to hit the jackpot as Seventeen's fandom CARAT is added to the existing fandom that is enthusiastic about PD Jung Jong-yeon's survival program.
Seung-kwan, who is passionate about his unique bright personality, active behavior, and everything, is expected to be more active in The Devil's Plan as he has been active in many programs with wide connections, affinity, and unique entertainment.
However, Seung-kwan, who temporarily suspended his activities since July this year due to poor condition and health reasons, is currently doing his best to recover his health, including rest, mental and physical stability, and walking exercise. I hope you come back to us as soon as possible in a bright and healthy way.
HA SEOK JIN
Ha Seok-jin, who proved his genius as a representative the Brainiacs among Korean celebrities through tvN's entertainment, The Brainiacs - Problematic man, will show a decisive shot with cool judgment and seriousness in The Devil's Plan.
Ha Seok-jin, who is more than 180cm tall and has a handsome face, and is a graduate of Hanyang University's engineering school and has the best brains in Korea's top 1% level with mathematical ability and concentration.
But it will be interesting to see how his characters contribute to his political influence in The Devil's Plan, such as being a little blunt compared to other contestants, being somewhat less expressive and vocabulary, and needing time to get acquainted with strangers.
PARK KYUNG RIM
If I describe Park Kyung-rim in a word, I can say that she is the youngest woman in her 20s to win the entertainment award, which is unprecedented in the history of Korean broadcasting entertainment. This record has not been broken yet, and Park Kyung-rim is the only celebrity in her 20s to win the grand prize, especially since the entertainment awards were created.
Park Kyung-rim was so popular that she proudly won the grand prize in 2001 when she was only 23 years old.
Currently, as a representative film MC in Korea, she is active in recognition of her excellent hosting ability to see her anywhere she promotes films such as film production presentations and previews.
Park Kyung-rim is the oldest participant in the Devil's Plan, but is expected to play the game most skillfully among the participants with his experience, unique friendliness, and excellent talk from his long career in the entertainment industry.
KWEDO
Kwedo, who majored in astronomy and space, has been studying for 13 years in graduate school, but is one of the talents who served as a policy adviser to the Blue House.
He is also a science YouTuber who runs the YouTube channel Unrealscience with 880,000 subscribers and 140 million cumulative views.
Having a relationship with Kwak Joon-bin, he is strong enough to appear on the YouTube channel of Calm Down Man and talk for nine hours without a break.
In The Devil's Plan, he will show scientific cool analysis and a high understanding of games and prove that games are also science.
GUILLAUME
Guillaume Patry is a first - generation professional gamer with a history of winning the starcraft league and a broadcaster from Canada who is now also a professional poker player.
Although he is usually positive and optimistic, he is expected to have a lot of survival play skills and anomalous attack unique to professional gamers that can reverse the situation.
Guillaume has been consistently mentioned as a person who is expected to appear in various brain game survival programs, including The Genius, among fandom enthusiastic about brain survival games. He is also a participant who is receiving great expectations and attention from them as he joins The Devil's Plan.
KIM DONG JAE
Kim Dong-jae, who joined the program through an open audition to the public in November last year, is a participant who received a perfect score in the written screening, and everything is veiled.
He is currently a student and poker player at Korea University and has won the Asian Poker Competition held in December last year.
Poker player Kim Dong-jae, who will participate for the second time after The Genius's Kim Yoo-hyun in PD Jeong Jong-yeon's brain survival game, is expected to show another unpredictable charm as he joined the program through numerous competitors.
SEO DONG JOO
Seo Dong-joo, who graduated from MIT, one of the best universities in the world, and earned an MBA, is currently a U.S. lawyer and a participant with a brilliant academic background and career that can be called a genius.
As a member of FC Fire Moth of SBS's popular entertainment show Girls Who Hit Goal, he also showed extraordinary talents in athletic ability, physical strength, and mental strength, and I think these skills will be helpful in the breathtaking survival process for six nights and seven days.
And Seo Dong-joo is the fourth lawyer to participate in Jung Jong-yeon's survival game, and armed with genius brains, logic, strong physical strength and mental strength, I'm looking forward to breaking the survival jinx of existing lawyers who failed to pass the game.
SEO YOO MIN
Seo Yoo-min, along with Kim Dong-jae, is an American orthopedic surgeon selected through open recruitment to the public, is said to be passionate and trilingual enough to come to Korea from the United States to participate in The Devil's Plan.
Although he/she is a regular person, he/she is the only one who has the least information among the participants because there are few external activities such as SNS.
This is the third time that doctors have appeared on PD Jeong Jong-yeon's survival entertainment show, but the fandom's response is that it is not easy to predict because the performances of previous doctors are extreme.
It is unpredictable, but it is expected to show a different charm from other players as he is a participant with a unique passion for brain survival games.
LEE SI WON
Like Ha Seok-jin, he is an actor, but he is also an inventor with more than 10 patents and industrially applicable utility models as a representative brain from Seoul National University.
Lee Si-won not only gained recognition as an actor through numerous works, but also revealed an unexpected presence through research and invention.
For her, invention is a way to express love to solve the other person's discomfort. Just as inventions that require ingenious ideas, in-depth observation, and sharp problem-solving skills, attention is being paid to how creativity will cope with various difficulties in this survival game.
LEE HYE SEONG
Lee Hye-seong is a KBS 43rd public recruitment announcer who graduated from Seoul National University's business department and is currently working as a freelancer. She has never missed the top spot in the school since she was a student, and she is said to be one of the brains that has always been in the top 50 in the country.
Lee Hye-sung, who is the same agency as Jeon Hyun-moo and also became famous as Jeon Hyun-moo's ex-girlfriend, continues to expand his activities such as advertising, YouTube, and Netflix dramas as well as announcers.
Come to think of it, PD Jeon Jong-yeon's survival entertainment shows always familiar jobs such as lawyers, professional gamers, actors, doctors, and announcers.
Among them, announcers continued to be included, and the unwritten rules were observed in the devil's plan. It is speculated that the reason is that the performance of the announcers who have appeared so far has been so impressive.
We will see how she will survive this survival with her sincerity and persistence, known as a hard worker since her school days.
CHO YEON WOO
Cho Yeon-woo is a professional Go player of the Korea Baduk Association, a producer of Kakao TV Go games, and an Internet broadcaster who runs a go-related YouTube channel. He is fluent in English enough to be in charge of Go TV English broadcasting after graduating from a prestigious university in Singapore.
Jo Yeon-woo, who succeeded in joining the professional team as the No. 1 player in the women's game when he was in his second year of high school, is now doing his best to spread Go at home and abroad by pursuing entertainment through Go.
Baduk is an event that requires an excellent understanding of the situation, overall strategic planning, and meticulous tactics, so baduk players who participated in the survival game showed enough ability, but they were unexpectedly eliminated at the beginning of the game.
Therefore, it is expected to be an interesting point to watch whether Cho Yeon-woo will overcome the early elimination jinx by showing his outstanding skills like a Go elite with sharp insight and winning move.
The Devil's Plan, Info
The Devil's Plan is a program designed by the Devil's proposal to unmask humans through extreme survival games played to decide the best brains while living together for a week.
And The Devil's Plan is Netflix's first brain game survival program in Korea. It is also Jung Jong-yeon's first Netflix debut to hit all survival programs such as The Genius, Society Game, and The Great Escape.
Genre: Survival, real variety
Launch Date: Scheduled for September 2023
Episode: Undecided

With up to 500 million won in prize money at stake, all participants are expected to engage in a fierce war of nerves with all kinds of tricks to win ugly rather than meaningless beautiful defeat.
Conclusion
The Devil's Plan is a work that will be compared to the two programs because it is already the end of Wave's Blood Game 2 and Tving's The Time Hotel.
However, The Devil's Plan is bound to draw keen attention from viewers with the expectation that it will be the first follow-up to The Genius, which formed a huge fandom in eight years.
The value of Ugly victory and Beautiful defeat emphasized by The Genius at the time was changed to Ob viciorias tupes bella in Latin, which can be interpreted in English as Beautiful defeat is meaningless, pursue ugly victory.
I hope that producer Jung Jong-yeon's Netflix entertainment debut film The Devil's Plan, which captivated viewers with unexpected and brilliant ideas every time, will write a new history of survival entertainment following The Genius.
