'Single's Inferno5' opened the door to Netflix variety shows in 2026 with an unstoppable dopamine party.
On the 20th, Netflix original variety show 'Single's Inferno5' released episodes 1 through 4.
From their very entrance, the solos' dazzling appearances drew attention, and Hong Jin Kyung repeatedly marveled, "Is Korea fertile?" The solos, each with different charms, had an exciting first meeting. From Kim Goeun, who conveyed a feline charm and a strange attraction, to Kim Minji with a frank and straightforward personality, Park Heeseon who caught eyes with doll-like visuals, and Ham Yejin who captivated with a graceful atmosphere, the female solos revealed a strong presence the moment they appeared.
The male solos also drew attention with no less charm. The lineup that completed the 'visual explosion' of Single's Inferno included Shin Hyunwoo, who overwhelmed viewers at once with a rugged physique; Song Seungil, who was indifferent yet kind; Yun Hyunje, who had a bold straight-forward charm; Kim Jaejin, who drew the MCs' attention with a relaxed attitude; and Woo Seongmin, who had a gentle charm.
Right after the heaven-bound match ended from the first meeting, new solos joined Hell Island one after another, adding tension. From Choi Minasu, who caught eyes with a captivating dress, to Im Subin with a quiet but solid charm, Lee Joo-young with a bright, sunshine-like smile, and Lee Seonghun with a soft charisma, the unpredictable currents on Hell Island deepened.
The signature 'Hell Island game' of 'Single's Inferno,' which returned in a dramatic way, was also upgraded. Following couple dodgeball, the couple photo shoot mission — appearing for the first time on 'Single's Inferno' — induced bold, close physical contact among the solos and triggered a dopamine explosion. The couples who won the heaven-bound spots amid constantly shifting love lines added to viewers' excitement with their dates.
As the producers had emphasized, "pay special attention to the night of the truth game," the truth game, with fixed questions and a no-comment rule added, became harsher and more intense than before. In particular, the female solos' straight-forward advances collided head-on, creating dizzying moments, and the solos' love lines flipped in an instant, creating what could only be called "a scene of great confusion." As the unpredictable developments left even the five MCs stunned, Kyu-hyun, who watched, said, "I'm so confused," unable to continue, and Hong Jin Kyung expressed anger, saying, "Who planned this, why are the planners so mean?"
PDs Kim Jaewon, Kim Junghyun and Park Suji, who designed new triggers to win the solos' hearts once again, emphasized the importance of honesty, saying, "We believe the value of 'honesty' in dating shows is so important it can never be overemphasized." They added, "We have once again realized that honesty is the greatest weapon," and signaled that viewers can expect even more honest and unreserved fierce battles for love from the solos, raising audience anticipation.
Episodes 5–7 of 'Single's Inferno5' will be released on Netflix on the 27th.
