1. Kim Goeun: Season 5
Kim Goeun is that girl. In the finale of season five, Goeun had not one, not two, but three suitors ready to leave Inferno with her. Post-show, she still has that magnetic effect on the rest of us.
The former pageant queen’s social media following grew massively after the show, landing her modelling gigs and invitations to Paris fashion week from brands like Mugler and Vivienne Westwood. She also attended brand showcases by Balmain, Sandro and Maje with season four’s Lee Sian. It’s giving ‘two pretty best friends’.
2. Lee Sian: Season 4
Lee Sian was the main character of her season, with the most screen time and the record holder for the most Paradise trips in a single season. As a former K-pop idol trainee and contestant on hit survival shows like Idol School (2017) and Produce 48 (2018), she’s never shied away from the public eye.
Since leaving the show, she’s transitioned from reality TV star to a fashion and beauty influencer—often sharing brand partnerships, and lots of YouTube content that includes everything from makeup tutorials, daily vlogs and reaction videos. More recently, Sian made an appearance at Paris fashion week, attending the Akris and Miu Miu show, as well as brand showcases from Balmain and Maje.
3. Dex: Season 2
Dex (Kim Jin Young) came to slay—and stay, apparently. The season two cast member caught viewers’ attention from the start for his quiet confidence and kind personality, and returned as a host for subsequent seasons.
He’s a mainstay on the Korean entertainment scene now, starring in his own series, Dex’s Fridge Interview, which has seen guests such as Aespa’s Giselle and Twice’s Sana, and even acted in films such as 2024’s Tarot.
4. Kim Min Ji: Season 5
Kim Min Ji won the hearts of all the viewers with her bold personality, unhinged sense of humour, and unfiltered representation on the show.
After the conclusion of Single’s Inferno, she’s leaned into her larger-than-life personality, launching her own YouTube channel where she shares candid Q&A content with fans and using her platform to show the real Kim Min Ji beyond the Netflix show. More recently, she appeared as a guest on the variety programme Amazing Thursday, marking one of her first non‑Inferno television appearances.
5. Song Ji A: Season 1
This It-girl stays in our minds rent-free. Song Ji A is a beauty and luxury lifestyle content creator in her daily life, experiencing internet fame long before she stole the show in the first season of Single’s Inferno with her self-assured personality.
While she went on hiatus for a while after coming under fire for wearing counterfeit items in the series, she returned stronger than ever with a new channel on YouTube, with her advice, beauty and vlog content continuing to be her most popular offerings.
6. Park Min Kyu: Season 3
Park Min Kyu stood out for his understated charm and his occupation while he was on the show. Prior to being a reality TV star, he worked as a police officer and was a member of the West Sea Marine Special Rescue Team of the Korea Coast Guard.
Since leaving the show, he’s built a substantial following and often posts brand collaborations and makes the occasional event appearance. While he’s no longer on the coast guard or the police force, he now runs his own training academy for those who are prepping to enter the Korean special forces and SWAT teams.
More recently, Min Kyu has been announced as the male lead for a local micro-drama by The Smart Local titled One Year Love, set to premiere on 9 April 2026.
7. Jang Theo: Season 4
Jang Theo was the golden retriever guy we didn’t know we needed on season four.
Since leaving the show, he’s continued to pursue his acting career in the Philippines, playing the lead in shows like Finding Santos (2025) as well as upcoming projects in US films, Pillow Armour and The Blowout.
8. Nadine Lee: Season 2
Nadine served us brains and beauty on the show, surprising many contestants when she revealed that she was studying neuroscience at Harvard University.
Nadine is now based in the U.S. and appears to be working in the healthcare industry while moonlighting as a model under The Society Management, collaborating with the likes of Charlotte Tilbury, Louis Vuitton and more.

9. Choi Mina Sue: Season 5
Choi Mina Sue was arguably the main character of her season. She gave us all the drama and chaos in the spirit of reality TV, and we love her for it. During the season, she was the most talked-about contestant and garnered significant attention worldwide.
Since the conclusion of the show, she’s landed brand partnerships with beauty brands like YSL Beauty and d’Alba, as well as a few modelling gigs. Other than a handful of sponsored posts on her socials, she’s kept a relatively low profile.
10. Hazel Choi: Season 3
Hazel Choi was season three’s fan favourite, and who could blame us? The bubbly single stood out for her beauty and brains, having graduated from Ewha Woman’s University and Durham University.
Her season concluded two years ago and the star has stayed booked and busy since, with frequent trips to Milan and Paris fashion week with brands like MaxMara, Ganni and Sandro. Besides her Instagram photo dumps and brand partnerships, she keeps fans fed with YouTube vlogs documenting her daily life, overseas adventures and reaction videos.
11. Park Hee Sun: Season 5
Park Hee Sun is the girl who can do it all. Not only is she the runner-up of the Miss Korea 2024 pageant, she’s also a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, one of the United States’ most prestigious institutions.
Post-show, she keeps a relatively low profile on Instagram, with most of her lifestyle content shared on her newly launched YouTube channel where she’s done casual vlogs and Q and As. Despite the newness of her YouTube content, she’s managed to rack up over 700,000 views in less than a month!
12. Bae Ji Yeon: Season 4
Bae Ji Yeon was the underrated baddie of the season. While she did not get much attention on Inferno, she grew to be a fan favourite and garnered a large social media following after the season concluded.
Now, she’s carved out a steady lane as a lifestyle influencer, fronting numerous beauty campaigns and serving as the face of loungewear brand Verish for a period of time.
13. Kang Soyeon: Season 1
Kang So Yeon is still giving Sporty Spice five years on. The fitness enthusiast expressed her love for various kinds of sports like judo and boxing on the show, and even went on to appear in Netflix’s other hit series, Physical 100. Today, she’s often out golfing and serving as the ambassador of brands such as athleisure label HDEX.
14. Shin Seul Ki: Season 2
Shin Seul Ki is season two’s answer to Ji A. The crowd-favourite won her castmates’ and viewers’ hearts for her shy yet straightforward personality, and is now a full-fledged actress, starring first in thriller series Pyramid Game in 2024, then other shows such as the period drama The Haunted Palace. It seems like she’s found her stride in acting too, winning multiple awards from KBS and SBS, major broadcasters in South Korea, and we love that for her.
15. Lee Gwan Hee: Season 3
Lee Gwan Hee was one of season three’s most polarising cast members—extremely confident and often at the centre of a love triangle.
Once off the island, he returned to the Korean Basketball League to play for the Seoul Samsung Thunders, and pursued brand collaborations and variety show appearances on shows like Extreme Tour (2024) and Date My Friend (2025).
16. Yuk Jun Seo: Season 4
Yuk Jun Seo was a man of few words yet he still remains one of the most recognisable cast members to have been on Single’s Inferno.
Since leaving the show, he’s doubled down on his mysterious aura, primarily working as an artist over the typical influencer route. More recently, he appeared on I Am Boxer (2025), a Korean boxing survival show, where he was eliminated in the knockout rounds.
17. Choi Si Hun: Season 1
Imagine bagging Queen Ailee. Before wedding the Korean-American singer (best known for her powerful vocals and hits such as “I Will Show You”) last April, he got his start in showbiz in 2019 as an actor who starred in a number of web dramas such as Standby Curator (2019). He then went on to join the cast of Single’s Inferno, where he captured hearts for his unwavering pursuit of Ji A.
Keep up with Si Hun on Instagram, where he regularly shares snaps of himself with Ailee.
18. Jung You Jin: Season 4
Jung You Jin was best known for her sweet personality and girl-next-door charm on the show.
Post-Inferno, she’s stepped into the spotlight as a lifestyle influencer, fronting beauty and fashion campaigns and sharing vlogs on YouTube, documenting her travels, beauty routines, and more.
19. Oh Jin Taek: Season 1
If you haven’t been keeping up with Oh Jin Taek since season one ended, he has a new clean shaven look. The co-founder of Seoul-based made-to-measure suit brand Ascottage is best known for his romance with So Yeon (which ended shortly after the show concluded) and his well-groomed image, making an impression on viewers when he showed up in a white suit in the first episode. He’s still a fitness junkie, often posting pics of himself hiking and running marathons.
20. Kim Gyuri: Season 3
Kim Gyuri captivated audiences with her soft-girl visuals and composed demeanour throughout the show.
Post-Inferno, she’s leaned further into modelling and fashion, often fronting K-beauty campaigns and attending fashion events while growing her presence as an influencer.
21. Shin Ji Yeon: Season 1
Shin Ji Yeon’s just living her best life. On the show, Ji Yeon was one of the more popular contestants, and this popularity has continued offscreen, not only amassing a large following on Instagram and YouTube, but also attention from various brands from Jellycat to Chanel Beauty.
Recently, the star, who turned 29 this year, uploaded a YouTube video reflecting on her experience on the show, sharing that she doesn’t know what gave her the courage to appear on Single’s Inferno at 24 and that it felt like she was watching a different person in action.
22. Kim Se Jun: Season 2
We love an easter egg moment. Kim Se Jun’s cool, laidback vibe looked oddly familiar when he arrived on the island, and it all made sense when he shared that he worked for Ascottage, Jin Taek’s company.
From the tags in his Instagram bio, he appears to still work at Ascottage, but also has a YouTube channel where he uploads travel and daily life vlogs.

23. Choi Jong Woo: Season 2
As the first male contestant to appear on season two, all eyes were on Choi Jong Woo, who quickly revealed himself to be quite the yearner. He got our attention when he explained during his introduction that he decided to come on the show after he got his fortune read, and single-mindedly pursued Seul Ki over the course of the season.
Outside of Single’s Inferno, he’s your average football enthusiast, and owns Gallery Bobs, a cafe in Gangneung (a city on the east coast of South Korea) that specialises in corn coffee and pastries.
