Netflix's Single's Inferno 4 released episodes 5 and 6 on January 21, 2025, at 12 am PT, as part of the show's staggered release schedule.
In these episodes, contestant Theo Jang, a 29-year-old actor aspiring to establish his career in Hollywood, demonstrated remarkable loyalty and affection towards fellow participant Lee Si-an, a model who had previously worked as a K-pop trainee.
Si-an had previously spent time in "Paradise" with another contestant. During her absence, Theo crafted a ring from a real flower, symbolizing his feelings and anticipation for her return to "Inferno."
This heartfelt gesture resonated with viewers, leading to widespread admiration for Theo's sincerity and commitment. Online platforms buzzed with praise, with many labeling him as the "only TRUE MAN.". A fan wrote on X:
"If a guy plucked flowers & gifted me a flower ring he made, I would be bragging it to everyone out there. Theo is the only TRUE MAN in this season."
Fans appreciated his genuine approach in an environment often marked by strategic interactions and shifting alliances in Single's Inferno 4.
"Omg Theo just plucked some pretty flowers, trimmed it himself & made a flower ring for Sian while she was in paradise with the new guy. THEO IS THE WHOLE GREEN FOREST I SWEAR," one fan wrote.
"I like how theo takes care of sian and keeps her from getting confused. the way he brought another jacket so she wouldn't get cold, brought snacks for her and even made her a flower ring. it really touched me with its romance!" another fan added.
"What I love the most about Theo is how even when he's constantly confessing his feelings to Sian, he never forces her to like him. Even when she's talking to other guys, he just stays aside & watch without pressuring her or anything," another fan wrote.
Others noted how Theo went to Si-an in episode 5 while she was serving rice for everyone and stood beside her like a "little puppy."
"Please when Theo saw Sian scooping rice, he quickly took his bowl to ask for more even tho he already had rice & stood there like a little puppy. And when she said she likes ham, he almost put all the ham in that pot for her, gosh he's so adorable & sweet," a fan noted.
"I used to cringe at Theo from episode 1… but ever since episode 4, he’s A WHOLE GREEN FOREST like ugh 🥲 HE LITERALLY PICKED FLOWERS FOR HER AND MADE HER A FLOWER RING. MY HEART HURTS FOR HIM AFTER EP 6," another fan commented.
"Awww Theo is so adorable. He saw the other guys helping Sian & he also wanted to do smthin for her so he slightly moved her cup to the side so that she won't hit it. Even the panel fell for him more cuz he's so adorable," one other fan added.
