'Single's Inferno5' final couple that made headlines, Choi Mina-soo and Lee Seong-hoon's 'current couple' reportedly fell through, with multiple eyewitness accounts emerging.
Recently, eyewitness reports claiming to show the current status of Lee Seong-hoon, a contestant on the Netflix original reality show 'Single's Inferno5,' have rapidly spread across domestic and international social media and online communities. The released photo caught attention by showing Lee Seong-hoon appearing to enjoy a theme park date with a woman.
In particular, Lee Seong-hoon and the woman in the photo exuded a friendly atmosphere. They stood side by side in line for a ride and waited, and when they sat on a bench, Lee Seong-hoon naturally placed his hand on the woman's leg, creating an intimate atmosphere. This raised suspicions that the long-haired woman in the photo might be Lee Seong-hoon's real girlfriend.
Naturally, speculation arose that Lee Seong-hoon and Choi Mina-soo, who became the final couple on 'Single's Inferno5,' did not continue as a 'current couple.' On 'Single's Inferno5,' Choi Mina-soo and Lee Seong-hoon formed a final couple after contrasting scenes in which Choi Mina-soo wavered early on and Lee Seong-hoon persistently confessed, creating mutual affection. As a result, some lamented that the reality differing from the broadcast undermines the immersion of 'Single's Inferno5' avid viewers.
However, the 'Single's Inferno5' production team has not issued a separate official statement on the matter. Lee Seong-hoon recently deleted his personal social media accounts, so his exact current status is unknown, and Choi Mina-soo, who runs personal social media, has not made any separate comments regarding the matter.
Meanwhile, the 'Single's Inferno' series production team will release 'Single's Inferno reunion' today (Feb. 14) to celebrate 'Single's Inferno5,' which produced a record five final couples, the most in the series' history. To commemorate the Netflix series 'Single's Inferno,' the platform's longest-running reality show, reaching No. 2 on Netflix's non-English TV shows top 10 through season 5 and achieving the series' highest-ever record, the 'Single's Inferno5' cast is expected to gather again to candidly share behind-the-scenes footage and stories after the broadcast.
In particular, the 'Single's Inferno reunion' is expected to attract attention as it will reportedly cover whether the final couples are 'current couples.' In this regard, Kim Jaewon, Kim Junghyun and Park Suji, the producers who directed 'Single's Inferno5,' told domestic reporters on Feb. 13, 'There are many stories that there are no
Above all, producer Kim Jaewon said regarding whether contestants on the 'Single's Inferno' series would date publicly, "We have always felt it is a pity that people seem hesitant about public dating. Honestly, I don't understand that part. They were on a dating show, so why hesitate to date publicly? While preparing for season 5, we tried to put such a clause in the contestants' contracts and sought legal advice, but the lawyer said it was 'unconstitutional' because the constitution protects the freedom of private life, so it couldn't be done. So when we met contestants, we persistently asked whether they intended to date publicly. We mainly chose those who said okay,' he revealed as an anecdote.
He also said, "Anyway, it is the part viewers are most curious about, and the reunion is to honestly ask and hear answers. It will be revealed, but we asked every couple what their current relationship is and they gave candid answers, so there may be aspects that viewers can confirm through the broadcast."
