• "Why is she apologizing?" — Netizens react as Kim Gyu Ri apologizes for controversial remarks on 'Single's Inferno 3'

    The buzz around the thrilling reality dating show 'Single Inferno 3' has settled, leaving behind a mix of emotions for both contestants and viewers alike.

    The third season of 'Single's Inferno' managed to create four successful couples, adding a touch of romance to the drama-filled journey on Inferno Island.

    Viewers found this season to be the most captivating yet, with unexpected love connections unfolding, even in the final episodes.

    However, not all contestants basked in the show's glory. Kim Gyu Ri, known for her beauty, faced criticism for her behavior in the last two episodes.

    She drew attention during a love triangle involving Yoo Si Eun and Choi Min Woo. In the 10th episode, Min Woo started leaning toward Si Eun after a visit to Paradise Island with Kim Gyu Ri.

    Feeling the shift in Min Woo's affections, Kim Gyu Ri decided to have a private talk with him. Unfortunately, her tone turned condescending, comparing Min Woo's actions to those of Gwan Hee, and she also expressed disrespect toward Lee Gwan Hee.

    This led to backlash from both the show's panelists and Korean netizens. Kim Gyu Ri faced criticism for her disrespectful remarks and insulting comments.

    Responding to the negative feedback, Kim Gyu Ri issued an apology on her Instagram on January 11. She expressed regret for her careless words and acknowledged the impact they had on viewers.

    Here's how netizens reacted to her apology:

    "People watch these shows for drama and then demand apologies for it?"

    "She spoke the truth! If a guy can't wait one day, he's a jerk. This drama is why I don't watch reality shows."

    "Where is Gwanhee's apology? He did worse than the girls combined."

    "Her conversation with Min Woo was toxic, but people shouldn't overreact. 'Single's Inferno' is scripted."

    "Waiting for Gwanhee's public apology. Funny how he got away with it."

    "She spoke the truth. No need to apologize for that!"

    "Why is she apologizing? Knetizens are on another level. Seriously."

    "This sucks. She had no reason to apologize."
