Single’s Inferno is returning with a second season to warm up lonely hearts this winter. As fans learned in season one, it’s not as easy as it sounds to find your soulmate. But what happened to the Single’s Inferno couples at the end of the first series and are they still together?
Similar to Too Hot To Handle, Single’s Inferno gathers young Korean singletons on a deserted island in hopes they’ll find their true love.
The contestants must get to know each other any way they can, but without learning their professions and ages. If things go well, winners of each activity have the option to choose a person to leave the deserted inferno and go to ‘paradise’ for the night.
The second season will launch on December 13 on Netflix. As we wait for the date, let’s find out which Single’s Inferno couples are still together, and what have the rest been up to.
Single’s Inferno couples: Are they still together now?
Song Ji-a
On and off the show, Ji-a became one of the most talked about cast members. Entering the contest with a strong fan base, the 25-year-old caught everyone’s attention. Literally.
Being the contestant with the most votes on the first night, the young YouTuber ended up leaving the island with Kim Hyeon-Joong despite Cha Hyun-seung’s addition to the show, which caused uncertainty in the couple’s progress.
Although they ended up together, Ji-a and Hyeon-Joong’s relationship didn’t progress, and the two eventually went their separate ways.
Weeks after the release of Single’s Inferno, Ji-a was subject to a scandal after viewers spotted the reality star wearing fake designer clothing during the episodes of the show.

Kim Hyeon-joong became loyal to Song Ji-a as soon as he laid eyes on her. During the entire season, Hyeon-joong fought to gain Ji-a’s attention, and he certainly did. Throughout the episodes, they had a strong connection and an undeniable physical attraction.
However, the young YouTuber was also open to meeting other people, whereas the 28-year-old stayed a one-woman man despite other girls being interested in getting to know him.
As the show was filmed months in advance, the relationship status of Hyeon-joong and Ji-a was uncertain. In the finale episode of Single’s Inferno, the model posted a picture of a dog about his self-description of being a ‘golden retriever guy’.

Continuing his businesses as a professional chef and restaurant owner, the reality star has also started modeling for various brands.
Even though his relationship with Ji-yeon didn’t become forever, many were grateful that him to have kept his gentlemanly manners and the same initiative he had on the show during their time getting to know each other off-cameras.
Kаng So-yeon
Son Ji-a might’ve gotten the most attention, but Kang So-yeon quickly made her way to the top of becoming the girl crush of those watching from home.

Nonetheless, the 34-year-old became fond of Jin-taek, despite their differences and the interests of other people wanting to get to know them. The pair would be spending the majority of time together and choosing each other to go to paradise.
After the show ended, things seemed to have been going well for the pair. So-yeon and Jin-taek were spotted together in the same locations, but the two never posted pictures posing together.
The star maintained her passion for football while doing some modeling and traveling the world in between.
Oh Jin-tаek
The classy Oh Jin-taek became a topic of conversation. The business owner stole the heart of Kang So-yeon, and kept his interest in getting to know her despite Shin Ji-yeon’s confession of being attracted to him.
