Even though "Single's Inferno 2" is over, it's just the beginning for the contestants, who are getting more and more popular. Even though the attention can be good, it also makes them more open to criticism and hateful comments.

Recently, one of the contestants, Park Se Jeong, had to delete an Instagram post because of hateful comments.

During her time on the show, Park Se Jeong got noticed for how pretty she was, and netizens were shocked when she didn't end up with anyone on the island.

Even though Park Se Jeong is popular on the show, fans have criticized her friendship with fellow contestant Kim Se Jun and the scenes they have together on the show.

During the show, Kim Se Jun was in adoration with Lee So E, but when he first got there, some of the other contestants thought he was more interested in Park Se Jeong.

When Kim Se Jun first came to the island, even Park Se Jeong seemed to like her.

In the end, they seemed to stay friends with Park Se Jeong, leaving the island alone. Se Jun was everyone's favorite, and his relationship with Lee So E was the cutest.

After the show was over, the contestants showed that they were still friends by doing crazy Instagram Lives or getting together for a catch-up.

With the end of the show, the contestants have also been sharing fan-posted clips from the show. On January 23 (KST), Park Se Jeong shared a fan post that showed she had worn Se Jun's jacket at one point.

Unsurprisingly, the fan wanted to know if there was anything Netflix didn't show. Park Se Jeong just said, "A lot of things have been edited. HAHA.”

But within a few hours, people on the Internet noticed that the story was gone.

At first, many fans didn't understand why, but people on social media, especially those who really like Se Jun and So E as a couple, were upset about the post.

One TikTok user said that the jacket was the reason for the hate and why Park Se Jeong probably deleted the post.

Even though Se Jun giving Park Se Jeong a jacket was a small thing to do, it was a big part of his love story with So E.

So E came back from "Paradise" wearing Se Jun's jacket, which seemed to cement their friendship.

Another user told Park Se Jeong that they were "unhappy" when they saw that she liked all of Se Jun's photos.

Even though it was a small thing, many people thought it was proof that she was dating Se Jun or trying to cause "trouble."

Park Se Jeong later posted a video of her and So E on the island. It seems like the contestant wanted to show how close they were and that she wasn't trying to hurt her relationship with Se Jun.

Even though the post wasn't meant to cause so much trouble, as Park Se Jeong's popularity grows, her and the other contestants' every move will be watched.

Hope it doesn't stop other contestants from sharing moments from the show, since it shows how the show is edited.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
