Netflix reality show 'Single's Inferno' season 5 once again shook viewers around the world and proved its presence with record-breaking results.
The highly stimulating romance formula, into which the 'Somejalal' production team poured their expertise, worked without fail in Single's Inferno season 5. The unprecedentedly frank and confident singles' nonstop flirting war sparked a heated response just two weeks after release.
On Wednesday the 28th, according to the Netflix Top 10 website, Single's Inferno season 5 recorded 4,600,000 views (view count calculated by dividing viewing time by the work's total running time / on Jan. 19-25) and 23,600,000 hours of viewing, entering the global Top 10. In addition to ranking second in the Netflix Top 10 TV non-English shows institutional sector, it also made the Top 10 lists in 32 countries including Korea, Australia, Brazil, Japan and Singapore, marking the highest record in the series' history and demonstrating the grandeur of the legendary dating reality series.
In episodes 5-7 released on the 27th, as Kyuhyun said, "Everyone is confused," the post–truth game turmoil portrayed an intensified level of inferno. A tense battle of nerves erupted as tangled emotions fought for love. Above all, the unexpected entry of the "ssangmegi" inferno tightened the tension even more.
In particular, the relentless spat between Kim Minji and Choi Mina set the stage for the "queens' war," and the power struggle among Shin Hyunwoo, Woo Seongmin and Jo I Geon, who bulldozed straight toward Kim Go-eun, continued to shake up the love-line landscape. The singles' love lines that reversed moment by moment, and their unpredictable choices that even made the strong‑hearted Dex shout "I give up," delivered the thrills and dopamine that can be experienced only on Single's Inferno.
Immediately after the week two release, online boards and social media were filled with responses such as "It hit my dopamine" (Instagram @wwww****), "It's literally teto itself, Single's Inferno is fun" (X @Bull********), "The panelists seem like inside‑out characters lol" (YouTube @daram****), and "He's the textbook example of a younger man. Almost at textbook level" (YouTube @user*******).
Episodes 8-10 of Single's Inferno season 5 will be available on Netflix on the 3rd.
