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.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
