Netflix's popular series, 'Single's Inferno,' Season 3, featuring Lee Jin Seok, almost missed out on having him as a participant. Lee Jin Seok, who initially hesitated, shared his thoughts on the show, saying, "I think this season was spicy."

He revealed that he didn't intentionally make it spicy, giving credit to the production team for discovering talented individuals and planning the engaging plot.

'Single's Inferno 3' is a candid dating reality show set on 'Hell Island,' a remote location exclusive to couples. The show gained immense popularity with its first two seasons, securing the top spot in the Global Top 10 TV Shows (Non-English) category for five consecutive weeks.

Lee Jin Seok, despite never watching a dating program before, eventually found himself on the show after a recommendation.

In a quick turnaround of just two weeks, Lee Jin Seok decided to appear on 'Single's Inferno' following a meeting with the production team, thanks to a friend's suggestion.

Initially uninterested, he revealed, "I told him I would not appear after his participation was confirmed, but the producer persuaded me again."

Explaining why he was chosen, Lee Jin Seok mentioned, "They said I was the person who best suited the ‘Single's Inferno’ image." Despite initial hesitation, he has no regrets, stating, "I think it was a good decision to appear."

The show, known for its competitive nature with numerous attractive applicants, quickly elevated Lee Jin Seok's popularity globally. However, he remains humble, expressing disbelief, "It doesn’t feel real."

Sharing a personal disappointment from the show, Lee Jin Seok mentioned concerns about the swelling of his face, despite losing 10 kg through diet and exercise. Despite the challenges, he received positive feedback and met good people, making the experience worthwhile.

While the show brought attention and increased social media followers, Lee Jin Seok's daily life remains unchanged.

He plans to utilize the opportunities wisely and continue working at the cafe. His ultimate dream is to become a businessman, inspired by Baek Jong Won.

Lee Jin Seok acknowledged the challenges of self-employment, stating, "People who think it's easy can be harshly dealt with." He attributes his success to hard work and learning from Mr. Baek's teachings.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
