The sizzling reality dating show, 'Single's Inferno,' is making a fiery comeback with its third season.

On December 12, the highly anticipated reality show returned for another thrilling season after the success of its previous editions. Known for featuring charming contestants, the show is back with a more intense exploration of emotional journeys.

This season of 'Single's Inferno' has added a surprising twist that's keeping viewers and contestants on the edge.

In the first episode, we met six singles: Kim Gyu Ri, Choi Hye Sun, An Min Young, Choi Min Woo, Lee Kwan Hee, and Lee Jin Seok.

The first couple match-up happened quickly, with Choi Hye Sun and Lee Kwan Hee choosing each other, and An Min Young and Lee Jin Seok heading to Paradise. These couples enjoyed a fantastic time at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, getting to know each other over delicious food and drinks.

However, a shock awaited both the contestants and viewers the next day. The couples wouldn't return to Inferno Island together.

Choi Hye Sun was instructed to go separately from Lee Kwan Hee and was told another partner awaited her in the hotel lobby. To everyone's surprise, she met another male participant claiming to come from Inferno Island.

Episode 2 unveiled the show's new layout, revealing a second Inferno Island with a new set of participants.

In this episode, we met five new contestants – Son Won Ik, Yun Ha Bin, Yun Ha Jeong, Park Min Kyu, and Yu Si Eun – on the second Inferno Island. The participants would be mixed and matched between the two islands.

Among the new participants, Yu Si Eun stood out and caught the attention of the MCs for her resemblance to BLACKPINK's Jennie.

During her interview, Yu Si Eun shared her candid personality, stating, "I've been popular since I was little. I was popular in school, and I got hit on a lot after I became an adult. It's always been like that. People around me tell me that I'm lovely. I think it's because I'm expressive and have a cute personality."

Netizens had varied opinions:

"She kind of looks like Son Naeun??"

"She doesn't look like Jennie. She seems to think highly of herself. Hmm…okay."

"I agree, I thought Naeun the first I saw her. And in these pictures, it's even more apparent."

"She does a bit… but did you guys notice there is also a BTS V lookalike on the show this season ??? all of this is not a coincidence."

"She looks more like Wonyoung, to me."

"I can see Wonyoung as well."

"I'm going with Soojin! The first and the last picture."

"She looks nothing like Jennie lol."

"Not even in the slightest."

"I'm tired of people always saying other Asians look like other Asians….When they don't."

"I'm gonna have to get my eyes checked bc she does not look like Jennie at all lmfaooo."

"She looks like Soojin (ex-GIDLE) + Wonyoung (IZ*ONE) era version."

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!
