Single's Inferno 4 endgame couples and contestants who couldn't find love on the Island
Single's Inferno 4 concluded its fourth season on February 11, 2025, leaving fans eager to dissect the final pairings and speculate about the future of the series.
This season continued the show's signature format, where attractive singles are isolated on a deserted island, striving to form romantic connections that grant them escapes to a luxurious resort known as "Paradise."
At the end of Single's Inferno 4, four couples decided to depart the island together:
Bae Ji-yeon and Kim Tae-hwan: Throughout the season, Ji-yeon and Tae-hwan shared a palpable chemistry. Despite moments of uncertainty, particularly concerning Tae-hwan's ability to express his feelings, the duo decided to pursue their connection beyond the island.
An Jong-hoon and Kim Hye-jin: This pairing surprised many, as they never ventured to Paradise together. Their bond strengthened during their time in the Inferno, leading to a mutual decision to explore their relationship further.
Kim A-rin and Kook Dong-ho: A-rin and Dong-ho's relationship blossomed steadily, culminating in their choice to leave the island as a couple.
Lee Si-an and Yuk Jun-seo: In a dramatic turn, Si-an, who had been indecisive throughout the season, ultimately chose Jun-seo over other contenders, solidifying their partnership.
Conversely, several participants departed the island without partners, including Jung You-jin, Park Hae-lin, Kim Jeong-su, and Jang Theo.
The success of Single's Inferno 4 has paved the way for the show's continuation. Netflix confirmed on February 13, 2025, that Single's Inferno has been renewed for a fifth season, with casting currently underway.
While an official release date for Single's Inferno 5 has yet to be announced, the show's consistent annual release pattern suggests a potential premiere in late 2025. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to Netflix's official channels for updates.
Due to contractual obligations, contestants are restricted from publicly discussing their relationships until a specified period after the show's release. Notably, the interval between filming and release for Season 4 was eight months, with production concluding in June 2024 and the final release of the show in January 2025.
As a result, the current status of the Single's Inferno 4 endgame couples remains speculative.
