NetflixIf you’re shipping a pair of Single’s Inferno Season 4 cast members or hoping to see love blossom in the upcoming Season 5, it might be best not to get those hopes up too high, judging by the number of couples who’ve made it past the Netflix dating show’s finale.
Reality TV is always trying to spark love, whether that be by shoving singletons in a villa for weeks on end à la Love Island or removing the factor of physical attraction in Love is Blind. But whether couples can go the distance in the real world is a whole other matter.
Single’s Inferno seems to have a winning format when it comes to fostering romantic relationships. Contestants are left stranded on a deserted island, and must decide who they like best to go on a date to Paradise with.
With the release of Season 4 on Netflix earlier this year and Season 5 in the pipeline, you might be wondering whether any past couples have actually lasted. And, well, let’s just get into it…
Single’s Inferno couples who dated after the show
Kim A-rin and Kook Dong-ho – Season 4
NetflixThese two were fan favories in Season 4 of the Netflix series, and though they are yet to confirm their relationship status, many believe they dated after the show. Firstly, they both shared photos of them in a tribute post after the finale, and they spoke about their feelings for one another at the cast reunion.
In March 2025, A-rin posted photos of her with Dong-ho, as well as fellow cast members Park Hae-lin and Kim Tae-hwan. “A-rin and Dong-ho are wearing the couple rings,” wrote one fan. “They are so adorable.” Another wrote, “If they’re actually dating I will be so happy.”
However, more recently, fans have started to suspect that they’re not together. One wrote on Reddit, “Y’all based on the latest Youtube videos… it seems that they are not together. Basically there is a video where they ask Dong-ho who he would like from the other seasons and he named three people which included Hye-seon and Ha-jeong.
“Then Ha-jeong released a review video of the last episode of Season 4 with Min-seol where she stated her interest for Dong-ho. Min-seol also supported that by saying to DM her (Ha-jeong). So, basically why would Min-seol encourage that if Dong-ho and A-rin were together, wouldn’t that be mad disrespectful?”
Also, they haven’t been spotted out and about together, nor have they posted any pictures together online. In other words, if they are dating, they’re hiding it very well.
Jo Yoong-jae and Choi Seo-eun – Season 2
NetflixJo Yoong-jae and Choi Seo-eun from Single’s Inferno Season 2 were previously the only couple from the Netflix show to end up together… until recently.
You see, Yoong-jae and Choi Seo-eun – who chose each other first to go to Paradise – were one of the few pairings to date long after the reality show finished filming.
They were a fan-favorite pairing thanks to their authentic interactions. When they headed to Paradise, they discovered they’re close in age: Seo-eun, an artist, was 28 at the time, while finance worker Yoong-jae was 32.
The Single’s Inferno couple chose each other in the Season 2 finale, and seemed to be going strong, even appearing at a fan event where they answered questions about their relationship in early 2023.
However, last year, eagle-eyed fans noticed the couple had deleted comments and photos of each other from their Instagram accounts and they both haven’t shared any updates together since then.
The likeliest answer is that they have broken up, although this hasn’t been officially confirmed by either of them.
All of the Single’s Inferno couples so far
Across Single’s Inferno Seasons 1-4, there have been 15 final couple-ups. Alongside the two mentioned above, they include:
Song Ji-a and Kim Hyeon-joong – Season 1
NetflixJi-a and Hyeon-joong seemed like a match made in heaven, but they did not continue dating after matching at the end of Single’s Inferno’s first chapter.
Following the show, Ji-a ran into controversy for wearing fake designer clothes, while fans later spotted the pair were no longer following each other on Instagram.
However, Hyeon-joong cleared up speculation that they had fallen out, telling Maeil Business Newspaper, “There had been a lot of attention [on us] and Ji-a also wasn’t following me.
“I didn’t want unnecessary rumors to start circulating so that’s why I decided to unfollow her too. There were no other reasons. Honestly, I had no idea that there was a controversy at the time.
“Because of the ongoing situation, I had an even harder time reaching out to her. Even right now, in this moment as I talk about it, it’s really hard. However, what I can say is that the Ji-a I got to know is a kind and bright friend who works extremely hard.”
Shin Ji-yeon and Moon Se-hoon – Season 1
Although Se-hoon had his eyes set on Ji-Yeon from the start, the pair broke up after appearing on the streaming service’s dating show.
However, they remained friends, even sharing a Q&A on Ji-yeon’s YouTube channel together where they discussed their time on Single’s Inferno.
Kang So-yeon and Oh Jin-taek – Season 1
NetflixSo-yeon and Jin-taek were one of the strongest couples of Single’s Inferno’s debut chapter, and while it was speculated that they continued dating after the finale, both have moved on.
In 2023, it was revealed that Jin-taek had started a relationship with PR specialist Lily Baek, although it’s unclear if the pair are still together.
Kim Jun-sik and An Yea-won – Season 1
NetflixYea-won and Jun-sik captured the hearts of fans thanks to their endearing interactions and zero-drama approach to dating. The pair went their separate ways after the show but remained friends.
As Yea-won revealed in a Q&A, “After the filming was done, we came back to our normal lives, and I had a lot of things to work on because I wasn’t able to do my work for nine days. So, I was really busy figuring those things out…
“The situation wasn’t like where I could meet him after my work and stuff. We did meet up a few times and kept each other updated, so we decided to stay good friends.”
Shin Seul-ki and Choi Jong-woo – Season 2
NetflixSeul-ki threw a curveball in the Single’s Inferno Season 2 finale when she went for Jong-woo, one of the many men who were vying for her attention throughout the second chapter.
But judging by their social media interactions post-filming, it looks like they are yet another couple who ended up as friends rather than partners.
Kim Se-jun and Lee So-e – Season 2
NetflixWho wasn’t rooting for So-e in Season 2? Although she attempted to connect with Yoong-jae, it wasn’t meant to be, but she found her match with Se-jun after he joined the cast later on.
However, they didn’t last as a couple and are just good friends. The same can be said for the rest of the cast. In fact, So-e recently shared an update showing she’s been working on a filming project alongside “oppa” Jong-woo.
Lee Gwan-hee and Choi Hye-seon – Season 3
NetflixIn what might be the most turbulent relationship in Single’s Inferno history, Gwan-hee was finally able to make a decision at the very last moment, going with his original choice, Hye-seon.
Despite their whirlwind romance, they sadly didn’t make it together, citing difficulties in maintaining a long-distance relationship. But as is always the case, there are no hard feelings.
Last year, Gwan-hee confirmed the news in a YouTube video, saying, “First of all, I want to tell you that we are not a couple.” He went on to say it was too difficult as they both have busy schedules, but they still keep in touch with each other.
Kim Gyu-ri and Park Min-kyu – Season 3
NetflixBoth Gyu-ri and Min-kyu had a rocky ride on Single’s Inferno Season 3, but it all appeared to be worth it in the end as they chose each other as their final couple.
It doesn’t look like they dated after the show finished filming, as they weren’t photographed together. However, they do follow each other on Instagram, indicating they’re likely still friends.
Choi Min-woo and Yu Si-eun – Season 3
NetflixMin-woo and Si-eun made Single’s Inferno history in the Season 3 finale, becoming the first couple to choose each other despite having never been on a date to Paradise.
Although they haven’t confirmed their relationship status, it appears from their social media interactions that they’re just close friends.
In September 2024, Si-eun revealed she and Min-woo appeared on a catwalk together. Taking to Instagram to share a photo of them both, she wrote, “It was an honor to be on the show of Hyun-ju Kim. Minwoo, thank you for your support.”
An Min-young and Lee Jin-seok – Season 3
NetflixMin-young and Jin-seok were like the old married couple of Single’s Inferno Season 3, having made a connection in Paradise at the very beginning. Although they had their challenges along the way, they eventually ended up together.
However, in January 2024, Jin-seok confirmed the pair didn’t continue dating due to their respective careers, but there’s no hard feelings.
“Since Min-young and I each have our own businesses, we are focusing on our own work, so we are not dating at the moment,” he told Osen, before adding that they have “good feelings” towards each other and are both “doing well.”
Lee Si-an and Yuk Jun-seo – Season 4
NetflixThese two were the strongest prediction from the very start of Season 4, with the pair enjoying a number of Paradise dates together. As Single’s Inferno host Dex said when they chose each other, “She chose the person who made her heart race.”
Although they looked like they could go the distance as a couple, in March 2025, the pair appeared on The Manager, where Jun-seo confirmed they are no longer dating and are just good friends.
Bae Ji-yeon and Kim Tae-hwan – Season 4
NetflixAlthough Ji-yeon grew unsure about her feelings towards Tae-hwan due to what came across as a lack of interest in her, she ultimately picked him and vice-versa in the Season 4 finale.
The pair hasn’t publicly commented on whether they dated after the show, but they also haven’t been spotted together, leading to speculation that they didn’t continue getting to know each other.
This theory was strengthened by an interview in which Ji-yeon expressed a mutual interest in Dex after he did the same towards her.
Kim Hye-jin and An Jong-hoon – Season 4
NetflixWhile they didn’t get as much screen time as some of the other couples, Jong-hoon reassured Hye-jin about his feelings towards her, saying he “never swayed,” which she found “touching.”
Much like many of the other couples on this list, their relationship status is unknown. However, they haven’t been spotted out in public together, suggesting they didn’t continue dating after the show.
Single’s Inferno Seasons 1-4 are streaming on Netflix now. You can read more about Season 5 (which is coming in 2025) and check out the new TV shows to stream this month.
