Fans of Netflix's popular dating reality show "Single's Inferno" can't wait for Season 4 to start. Since its premiere in 2021, the show has been warming people's hearts with its honest and steamy love adventures on "Hell Island," a remote location where only single people can go.

Today, Season 4 of "Single's Inferno" was confirmed. This makes it the first Korean entertainment show on Netflix to hit this important milestone.

Over the seasons, "Single's Inferno" has shown that it is a popular show. Season 1 was the first Korean entertainment show to make the global TOP 10 TV show (non-English) category as soon as it came out.

Season 2 did the same thing, staying in the same category for four weeks in a row with a total of 65.08 million watching hours, which was more than the first season's success. Season 3 was especially good; it topped the world TOP 10 TV shows (non-English) list for five weeks after it came out and made it to the TOP 10 lists in 31 countries.

Notably, Season 3 also won the award for most topical non-drama on FUNdex, which is run by Good Data Corporation, a research firm that focuses on K-content competition. Lee Kwan Hee, Choi Hye Sun, and Kim Gyu Ri, among others, were ranked highest in non-drama topicality, which shows how interested and supportive Korean fans are.

People are very excited for Season 4 of "Single's Inferno," which has been making history in Korea's dating reality shows for three seasons in a row.

A producer named Kim Jae Won, who handled the first three seasons, promised that Season 4 would be even more interesting by listening to fans' comments and ideas.

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!
