The participant Park Ji-yeon from 'Better Late Than Single' expressed her thoughts on the show's conclusion.
On the 5th, Park Ji-yeon posted a long message on her social account saying, "Hello. I am Park Ji-yeon, a participant from 'Better Late Than Single'."
She reflected, "Last summer was truly a series of dream-like moments for me. As someone who has never been in a relationship, I wondered if I could truly open my heart to someone and if it was okay to show my true self to so many people. I was frightened, but I mustered the courage to decide to participate. Although I was quite clumsy and had many shortcomings since it was my first time, it was a precious time that allowed me to reflect on myself."
She continued, "I sincerely thank the viewers who may have felt uncomfortable with my clumsy and unstable appearance for being understanding of my shortcomings. I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the production team and all the staff who allowed me to experience unforgettable moments. And I sincerely thank the matchmaker Eun-ji who taught me that in order to love someone else, I must first love myself."
In particular, Park Ji-yeon said, "Above all, through this journey, I met truly precious friends who shine like jewels. We laughed together, shared concerns, talked all night, and traveled together, creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. When I think of that time, the first word that comes to mind is 'gratitude'. Our moments together were much more profound and honest than what was shown on the broadcast, so I will cherish this friendship even more and strive to become a better person myself."
The photos released alongside captured a private gathering of the female participants from 'Better Late Than Single'. They were seen continuing their friendship even after filming, going on trips and dining together. However, the absence of Lee Do, one of the female participants, from all the group shots has left a feeling of disappointment.

At that time, Ha Jung-mok, who developed a straight romance with Lee Do, turned his affections towards Park Ji-yeon toward the end of the program, and they both chose each other in the final selection. However, after filming ended, they have not clarified whether they are 'real-life couple' or not, leaving fans curious.
