The finale of Netflix’s hit dating reality show, Single's Inferno Season 4, has left fans buzzing with excitement and speculation about the newly formed couples. Released on February 11, 2025, the final episodes marked the conclusion of the longest season yet, comprising 12 episodes.
Viewers had been eagerly awaiting to see which contestants would pair up and who would leave the island paradise known as Inferno. The production team, led by Kim Jae-won, has highlighted the suspense and emotional evolution of the participants throughout this season, and the finale did not disappoint.
Among the final couples, Lee Si-an, who had garnered significant attention throughout the season, found herself at the center of romantic drama. Despite having several suitors—Kim Jeong-su, Jang Theo, and Yuk Jun-seo—Si-an eventually chose to accompany Jun-seo to Paradise. Her decision, made against the safer bet of Jeong-su, has sparked discussions among fans about her emotional instincts.
“When I was editing Season 4, I was quite perplexed seeing Si-an’s final Paradise date and seeing her final choice,” commented Kim Jae-won, validating Si-an's serious consideration of who to choose. "She was very serious about her choice, and she considered all the aspects and made the right choice for her." This reflects the balance contestants must strike between emotions and logic.
Another couple leaving together was Kim Tae-hwan and Bae Ji-yeon. Despite Ji-yeon’s initial concerns about Tae-hwan’s feelings, he chose her, affirming their bond. This match followed Ji-yeon’s expressed hesitance but eventually culminated with mutual affection.
Competition also remained fierce, particularly for Kook Dong-ho, who was central to narratives involving multiple women. Eventually, he and Kim A-rin selected each other as partners, confirming their chemistry developed during their time on the island.
Meanwhile, An Jong-hoon and Kim Hye-jin proved to share solid emotions; Jong-hoon emphasized his unwavering choice for her with the statement, “I’ve never been swayed,” reinforcing the dedication both showed toward each other. This shared commitment also echoed the sentiments seen across the couples forming solid bonds.
Despite the couples who successfully paired off, several contestants left without finding romantic companionship, including Kim Jeong-su, whom Si-an nearly chose. He seemed surprised when he didn’t end up with her, as he was one of her final picks. Chung You-jin and Park Hae-lin also ended their journeys single, echoing the competitive and unpredictable nature of dating within the show.
The finale’s atmosphere was laced with anticipation, reflecting the excitement viewers had as each contestant took to the stage to declare their final choice. “The atmosphere on set is exactly what you feel watching the show. They're not supposed to talk about their final choices,” provider Kim Jae-won explained, successfully building suspense for the audience watching from home.
Fans took to social media to share their reactions, expressing mixed feelings about the pairings. Many believed Si-an’s choice of Jun-seo was unexpected, considering her chemistry with Jeong-su earlier. “I just wish we could have seen more of Ji-yeon and Tae-hwan, their storyline didn’t get much screen time, but they seemed so genuine!" one viewer noted.
Throughout the season, Si-an particularly stood out and captivated audiences with how her character developed, expressed her playful side, and navigated complex emotional choices. According to Si-an, the filming experience felt fun yet emotionally exhausting, especially when finals approached. “I had to make up my mind on my final choice, and then it became really hard,” she remarked during interviews post-show, emphasizing the emotional rollercoaster contestants face.
Looking forward, fans are speculating whether the couples from Season 4 will withstand the test of time outside the confines of Inferno. Last season’s couples have largely remained single post-show, creating skepticism about the longevity of these newfound relationships.
Rumors have circulated around sightings of Si-an and Jun-seo enjoying time together outside, stirring excitement among fans eager to see if some genuine connections can emerge beyond the show's dramatic environment. “I’m going to be teased for the rest of my life,” Jong-hoon humorously commented on social media posts related to his time with You-jin, displaying the playful banter still shared among contestants.
With its engaging concept and cast dynamics, Single's Inferno has continued to reign as one of Netflix's biggest non-English-language hits. Producers have announced plans for Season 5 already, ensuring viewers can expect more emotional narratives and romantic explorations of singles searching for love on this unforgettable island.
