"They acted like she committed a sin"— Netizens defend Single's Inferno 4 contestant Jung You-jin amid claims of "creepy" behavior on swing

Jung You-jin, a 28-year-old contestant on Netflix's Single’s Inferno 4, has sparked widespread discussion following a scene where she was shown enjoying herself on a swing. The moment, which aired on January 14, 2025, during the season premiere, drew mixed reactions from viewers, fellow contestants, and the show’s panelists.

The moment occurred after a group gathering where the contestants had been engaging with each other. You-jin decided to have fun on a swing, but others interpreted her carefree behavior differently. Some contestants laughed among themselves, describing her as odd, while the panel of hosts, including Lee Da-hee, Kyuhyun, and Hanhae, likened her actions to something "creepy." All the hosts also agreed when Hanhae said,

"It's a little creepy."

Yuk Jun-seo, who had previously chosen You-jin for a date in Paradise, was also seen laughing with the group, adding to the perception that her behavior was being ridiculed.

While her co-stars and hosts criticized her behavior as odd or “creepy,” fans have defended her, calling out the exaggerated portrayal and unnecessary ridicule she faced.

Many viewers took to social media to defend You-jin and called out her fellow contestants and the panelists. Fans argued that her behavior was harmless and relatable, emphasizing that enjoying a swing, even after drinking, was natural and did not warrant such criticism.

"this rubbed me the wrong way along with the judges’ reaction to youjin literally having fun on a swing. they acted like she committed a sin or embarrassed herself to the point that no man would be interested anymore…. like god forbid a woman is tipsy and acting silly," an X user wrote.

Others criticized the show’s editing and commentary for exaggerating the situation to make You-jin appear out of place.

"No matter what the situation was this kind of angle & portraying someone was very rude af she needs to sue the show," a fan commented.

"and those mean girls laughing at her ewww," a user commented.

"I am a Youjin defender until further notice She was jealous and drunk during the Truth or Drink game, the hate is just unnecessary. People should give her another chance," a user mentioned.

Fans also highlighted the lack of empathy toward You-jin during the scene, with no one offering to check on her or join in her playful moment. Instead, she became the target of unnecessary scrutiny, which some people found disrespectful and unwarranted.

"I'm sorry but the two girls laughing like?? I hate that, she's drunk and you are making fun of her. be a girls girl," a fan mentioned.

"i feel bad for youjin because why did nobody approach to check her? she was too drunk and could've gotten hurt swinging that hard. at least ask if she's okay," another person wrote.

"the panelist single inferno so sick for calling youjin creepy/trying hard just bcus she having fun byherself.. like let my girl having fun without gettin judge pls," a netizen added.
