Single’s Inferno is the latest Netflix reality dating TV series, this one has an island twist. The show is based in Korea, with contestants “stranded” on a hot, dry, and deserted island with one another, forced to cook with basic ingredients and hike to fetch their own water.
If they manage to catch the interest of another contestant, they can escape to “Paradise”; an all-inclusive luxury hotel, where they can finally learn each other's ages and occupations, which they are forbidden from revealing while on the island. A team of hosts provides their input on the drama as it unfolds. After binging the series, audiences may be curious as to how the contestants are faring, but in the absence of further seasons, more information on the contestants can be found on their Instagram.
(Warning! Spoilers ahead!)
Kim Hyeon-Joong
Kim Hyeon-Joong is a personal trainer and model who pursued Song Ji-a on Single’s Inferno. After receiving a note betraying her interest (“Oppa?”), Hyeon-Joong brought Ji-a to paradise, and all seemed well until his workout buddy from outside the show, Cha Hyun-Seung, arrived. While they battled for Ji-a’s affection, Hyeon-Joong didn’t reveal much of his personality. On his Instagram, he posts pictures from his modeling and fitness gigs, and he also reposted memories of Single’s Inferno, notably of him with the other male contestants on the island. Although he left the island with Ji-a, it’s unconfirmed if they have remained together after the show.
Kang So-Yeon
Although Kang So-Yeon is probably best remembered for the heated conversation between her and Moon Se-Hoon where she tried to discourage him from pursuing Shin Ji-Yeon, So-Yeon also had her sweeter moments. Her friendship with Yea-Won was one of the most memorable from the island. In Paradise, we learned that she is a boxing coach, and she often posts various workouts and sports videos on her Instagram as well.
Although she was originally hesitant about Oh Jin-Taek’s forward pursuit of her, they definitely warmed up to one another. During one of their several trips to Paradise together, they even slept in the same bed, and So-Yeon gave Jin-Taek an impressive massage. By all accounts, they still appear to be together after leaving the show as a couple.
Moon Se-Hoon
A restaurant owner and the relentless pursuer of Ji-Yeon on the show, Se-Hoon keeps his Instagram fairly quiet. Populated only with a few modest selfies and some childhood photos, Se-Hoon only recently appears to be pursuing a life in the public eye, dabbling in modeling.
Doubtless, he is one of the most controversial members of Single’s Inferno for his unwillingness to give up on his connection with Ji-Yeon and his confrontation with So-Yeon. Although audiences were skeptical of his chances, he managed to win Ji-Yeon's heart after explaining himself in Paradise, and there is speculation that they are still together.
Song Ji-a
Audiences are divided on Song Ji-a’s appearance on the show. A makeup and beauty Youtube guru, Song Ji-a is currently embroiled in a controversy for advertising fake designer products on her Youtube channel while being sponsored by the brands being copied. Controversy aside, she was the most popular female contestant on the show, winning the interest of three contestants and wooing them all with her flawless beauty and mysterious charm.
Her Instagram account has exploded since the premiere of the show, with a current following of over 3 million. She shows off beauty brands and outfits on her Instagram and while it appears that her relationship with Hyeon-Joong didn’t last, she certainly made the most of her time on Single's Inferno.
Shin Ji-Yeon
Se-Hoon’s preferred sweetheart, Shin Ji-Yeon was averse to his advances at first. In Paradise, however, they had a heart-to-heart and got drunk by the poolside. Her Instagram was recently hacked, so she started a new Instagram account and has already amassed over 800k followers. She also recently started a Youtube account, where she has posted a Q&A but hasn’t yet answered the question of if she and Se-Hoon are still together after leaving the island, although fans claim they have been spotted in each other's Instagram stories.
Oh Jin-Taek
Oh Jin-Taek went straight to So-Yeon’s side on Single’s Inferno, and by all accounts has stayed by her side since the show ended. Although they had some communication issues after he went to Paradise with Ji-Yeon, their next date in Paradise seemed to seal the deal. He is a co-owner of a menswear brand, Ascottage, and in his free time models his pieces on his Instagram or plays tennis. He has also recently posted photos from the show with his fellow male contestants.
An Yae-Won
An Yea-won received little screen time in comparison to the other contestants, but it was impossible to miss the adorable friendship between her and So-Yeon. She struck up a small romance with Kim Jun-Sik, but not much else was featured of her on the show.
From her date in Paradise, it was revealed that she is a model and Pilates instructor. She recently posted a video with Cha Hyun-Seung, and she frequently interacts with the other cast members on Instagram. Her humor shines through in her posts, even though she had little opportunity to showcase it on the show.
Kim Jun-Sik
Yae-Won and Kim Jun-Sik seemed to have some chemistry, but neither was much featured during the show. During their date in Paradise it was revealed that he owns a health food brand, and he was also shown working out. His Instagram features his health food brand, Kamee, and workouts, and he also appears in some modeling shoots. It’s not confirmed if he and Yae-won remain together after the show, as they have not been spotted on each other's Instagram.
Kim Su-Min
Arriving a little too late to steal anyone’s heart, Kim Su-Min was interested in Se-Hoon even though he was busy pursuing Ji-Yeon. Despite her disappointment with Se-Hoon, she kept up a positive attitude on the show, encouraging the other contestants in their pursuits. Her Instagram features her dimpled smile that was much admired by the hosts of Single’s Inferno. A model, primarily for beauty and skincare products, Su-Min’s Instagram features mainly selfies and her enjoying various travels.
Choi Si-hun
The surprisingly young-looking Choi Si-hun reminded the other contestants of a “Kpop star”, but he’s actually the CEO of a fashion brand. Although he was fascinated by Ji-a, he didn’t manage to win her attention back even though they spent a night together in Paradise. He also caught the attention of Su-min. On his Instagram he primarily posts his modeling photos and occasionally models his own headwear, which you can find on the Instagram account: @hoten_org.
Seong Min-Ji
Seong Min-Ji surprised audiences with her introduction to Se-Hoon, where she revealed her love of video games and hip-hop. Although Se-Hoon was intrigued by their differences, it wasn’t enough to land her a date in Paradise. On her Instagram, she shows off photos of her modeling, and also recently posted a throwback to her time on Single’s Inferno. Although she arrived later than most of the contestants, she managed to win the sympathy of the hosts with her unique personality.
Cha Hyun-Seung
The dancer and model caught the attention of the female contestants when he arrived at the island, and it was revealed that he was already acquainted with Hyeon-Joong and Ji-a. He had a cute moment of flirting with Yae-won in the cooking area but ultimately ended up taking Ji-a to Paradise. On his Instagram he posted memories from Single’s Inferno alongside his modeling pictures and videos of him performing various choreography. The hosts recognized him as a famous backup dancer who went viral for performing with SunMi in 2018.
