In episode 12 of "Paradise Island", male and female players must participate in challenges set by the program.
Accordingly, the male player will be paired with the female player by drawing lots. Next, both must coordinate to pop the most balloons within 60 seconds without using their hands. The winning pair will receive 100 points.
After the show aired, a video clip of the balloon clip went viral on social media, attracting millions of views on Tiktok. In it, couples use their bodies to squeeze each other to make the balloon pop, easily reminding viewers of sensitive movements.
Some viewers left comments: "The game lacks sophistication, many offensive actions", "From beach team building to reality show on TV, too ugly", "What a strange game, watching it makes me blush"...
The game of squeezing the ball often appears in team building activities organized by groups and businesses. To break the ball, most players have to use their physical strength. However, if not careful, this game can easily cause offense.
In some cases, team building games on the beach, in groups with both men and women participating, have been condemned for simulating sensitive movements.
In the video, male members like Michael Truong and Wukong were criticized for using too much force, pulling Rayeon and Hooyeon close to their bodies to squeeze the ball. From their expressions, it can be seen that the two female members were quite hurt and embarrassed, not happy with the poor game.
In addition to the ball-smashing game, players in "Paradise Island" also participate in other challenges such as men carrying women across a bar, walking on three legs, and eating instant noodles.
At the end of the challenges, the winning couple has the right to match all players on dates.
