Single's Inferno has been a hit with fans since it first aired in December 2021. The spontaneous dating reality show has had two sexy seasons and has shown viewers some of Korea's rising stars.

Netflix announced earlier this year that the show would be back for a third season, so fans finally have something new to share.

Casting calls for the show's third season were posted in March of this year, and one contestant even said they signed a contract for the show in a Reddit thread.

At first, he wasn't sure if he was the right fit for what the show was looking for, so he thought about turning down the offer.

"At first, I thought it was weird because I'm the exact opposite of everyone else who has been on that show before: I'm a white guy from Los Angeles who speaks Korean well. I'm also gay." — brgrantj/Reddit

He finally told the Internet users who were following the thread that he had signed the contract. Even better, the contestant said that the new season would come out in December, just like the last two seasons.

This short look at Single's Inferno 3 showed that it will be different from the first two seasons.

Netflix says that there will be "even more heat" because both the rules and the hellish island will be changed.

In the most recent news from Netflix, the panelists for the next season of the show have been confirmed.

Fans will be happy to see some familiar faces, including a past contestant, back on the show.

Popular actor Lee Da Hee, comedian, model, and business owner Hong Jin Kyung, rapper Hanhae, and Kyuhyun from Super Junior are all on the panel again.

The newest panelist has been on Single's Inferno before. During the second season, he was a famous contestant.

Kim Jin Young, also known as DEX, has been publicly invited to join the panelists. He will bring an insider's view to their comments.

Fans couldn't stop talking about how funny they thought it was that Kim Jin Young had so many plans and how excited they were that he was in the new season.

IU has once again warmed hearts with her sweet and caring nature — this time by personally helping young actress Kim Tae Yeon get ready for her very first awards show.

The two actresses both played the same character, Ae Soon, in different stages of life in the Netflix drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines". IU played the adult version while Kim Tae Yeon touched viewers with her emotional performance as young Ae Soon.

Even though Kim Tae Yeon doesn’t have an agency yet, IU made sure the young star wouldn’t be alone. According to insiders, IU personally visited a dress shop with Kim Tae Yeon to help her pick out a beautiful outfit. She even helped with hair and makeup plans, making sure Tae Yeon could shine at the upcoming 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, where both actresses are nominated.

Kim Tae Yeon’s mom posted about the moment on Instagram, saying:

“Tae Yeon met IU unnie and told me to say thank you. Words aren’t enough to express how grateful we are. We were so surprised by her unexpected visit, and her thoughtful care truly touched our hearts. Thank you again to IU for the gift.”

The post also showed a happy Kim Tae Yeon holding IU’s present and choosing a dress — a moment that melted fans’ hearts.

IU is well-known in the industry for her generosity and kindness. While filming "You Have Done Well", she reportedly gave thoughtful gifts and created a warm, friendly vibe on set for everyone, from co-stars to staff.

The drama itself became a big hit, earning praise both in Korea and overseas. IU, Park Bo Gum, Yeom Hye Ran, Choi Dae Hoon, and Kim Tae Yeon all received Baeksang nominations — a huge achievement, especially for the young star.

Kim Tae Yeon, born in 2011, has been acting since she was little and appeared in dramas like Crash Landing on You, A Dog’s Love Today, and Gyeongseong Creature. But her powerful acting in "When Life Gives You Tangerines" truly made people cry, smile, and remember her name.

IU didn’t stop at helping Kim Tae Yeon. She also invited fellow cast members Moon So Ri, Park Hae Joon, Ahn Tae Rin, and more to her concert, sending them gifts to show her love and support.

In an earlier interview, IU talked about giving gifts to so many people. She humbly said,

“As I do more projects, there are more people I’m thankful for, but it’s not as hard as people think. I just hope the people receiving the gifts feel happy.”

Talking about the drama, she added,

“It was such a grand project. Just being part of it was a blessing. It made me think, ‘Ji Eun, you really experienced something amazing.’ I’m grateful I could work with such great people.”

Once again, IU has proved she’s not just a talented singer and actress — she’s also a true “Good Deed Queen.”
