The producers of Single's Inferno have not publicly addressed these concerns. However, it's common for reality shows to face scrutiny over editing choices, as these decisions significantly impact viewers' perceptions of participants.
As the season progresses, fans continue to advocate for a fair and balanced representation of all contestants, emphasizing the importance of showcasing diverse personalities and interactions. One fan wrote on X:
"I’m just on ep 5 already loosing my interest from #SinglesInferno4 it’s all sian sian sian and it’s boring. Looking forward for Transit love spin off I hope Kwangtae would entertain us"
Meanwhile, Jung You-jin, a 28-year-old dancer and graduate of Ewha Womans University, has been at the center of online debates. In a scene aired on January 14, 2025, You-jin was shown enjoying herself on a swing after a group gathering.
Some fellow contestants and panelists from Single's Inferno 4 described her behavior as "odd" or "creepy," which sparked a wave of support for You-jin from viewers who found her actions harmless and relatable.
Fans criticized the show's editing and commentary for exaggerating the situation and ridiculing her unnecessarily.
"Skipped thru both eps boring as hell sian hogging the screentime honestly dropping it, jiyeon still remains baddest," one fan wrote.
"Where is jiyeon’s screentime. The producers are messing with me. They would just show her face for two second like here you go she’s still on the show #SinglesInferno4," another fan said.
"When sian is on the swing, while she’s drunk, junseo doesn’t say anything, but when it’s youjin, she’s a crazy one who shows her true behavior? #SinglesInferno4," one other fan reacted.
However, a few viewers stated that the show's editing method shouldn't be reason enough to be angry at Lee Si-an.
"I don’t want to see the hate directed at Sian because of the timescreen when she’s not problematic at all. Just reminder." a fan stated.
Why do people direct opinions to hate sian. She gets a lot of screen time because many boys are interested in her like before, there are many boys interested in song jia," another fan wrote.
"4 guys continue to be interested in Si-an even after the new girl enters. I was right about the script for this show," one other fan added.
