• "Single’s Inferno 4" Producers React to Yook Jun Seo & Lee Si An’s Night in Paradise—Say Nothing Was Cut, It Was All Real

    The producers of Single’s Inferno 4 finally shared their thoughts on Yook Jun Seo and Lee Si An’s unforgettable night together!

    On February 13, Xports News met with Single’s Inferno 4 directors Kim Jae Won, Kim Jung Hyun, and Park Soo Ji at a café in Samcheong-dong, Seoul.

    Single’s Inferno 4 is the hit reality dating show where contestants must pair up to escape “Inferno,” a deserted island.

    Since its first season, the show has been a global sensation, becoming the first Korean variety show to enter Netflix’s Global Top 10 (Non-English TV).

    Season 2 racked up 65.08 million viewing hours, and Season 3 stayed in the Top 10 for five weeks in 31 countries. With Season 4’s wild success, Single’s Inferno 5 was officially confirmed!

    But what really had fans talking this season? Yook Jun Seo and Lee Si An’s night in “Paradise.” Their cozy moment in bed had panelists Hong Jin Kyung, Dex, and Hanhae in shock, asking, “What happened?”

    PD Park Soo Ji addressed the buzz, saying, “There was nothing edited out. Everything was on camera. We didn’t manipulate anything.”

    She continued, “We focused on their emotions, not just what viewers might find exciting. That night, they shared a blanket and grew closer—it truly felt like a couple’s moment. We knew people would be curious, so we wanted to show that journey.”

    She also admitted, “We didn’t edit with keywords like ‘bed’ or ‘spending the night’ in mind, but even we were surprised. It was something we hadn’t seen before.”

    PD Kim Jae Won chimed in, saying, “People reacted strongly because it was on camera, but honestly, it wasn’t a big deal. It’s natural for young people in their 20s who are dating.”

    He added, “Their chemistry was real, and it showed. That’s what makes this season different.” He also pointed out, “Among all the seasons, Yook Jun Seo and Lee Si An were the most unguarded and sincere. Their honesty won people over, and I think their popularity will keep growing.”

    Meanwhile, Single’s Inferno 4 has officially wrapped up on Netflix. Will Single’s Inferno 5 bring even more shocking moments? Fans can’t wait to find out!

  • Koo Jun Yup Joins Forces with Barbie Hsu’s Mom to Fight for Grandchildren’s Future After Ex-Husband Wang Xiaofei Gains Custody

    Koo Jun Yup is taking charge in the drama surrounding Barbie Hsu’s tragic death, and it looks like he’s not backing down from a fight with her ex-husband, Wang Xiaofei.

    On February 13th, Barbie Hsu's mother made a bold statement, declaring, "I believe justice can be achieved. I will go to the battlefield. Let’s unite and seek justice for Barbie Hsu." Her words seem to signal the beginning of a fierce battle against Wang Xiaofei’s family.

    Following Barbie Hsu’s passing on February 2nd, Taiwanese law gave Wang Xiaofei custody of their two children.

    But there are concerns that he may end up controlling two-thirds of Barbie Hsu’s estate, which is worth around 1.2 billion KRW.

    With Wang Xiaofei and his wife, Jang Lan, in more than 2 billion KRW of debt, there are fears that this could negatively affect the children’s future and inheritance.

    In response, Koo Jun Yup has decided to transfer his rights to Barbie Hsu’s estate to his mother-in-law. He’s also taking legal action to make sure no harmful individuals can approach the children until they are old enough to protect themselves.

    Local media is reporting that a courtroom showdown between Koo Jun Yup and Wang Xiaofei seems unavoidable. Barbie Hsu had previously filed a lawsuit against Wang Xiaofei for failing to pay the alimony and living expenses he owed after their divorce.

    Now that this lawsuit has been passed on to Koo Jun Yup and the children, it looks like it will continue in court. Despite Wang Xiaofei having custody of the children, Barbie Hsu’s mother could request the suspension of his parental rights, citing his violent behavior and poor character.

    As if things weren’t complicated enough, Barbie Hsu’s mother is now joining forces with Koo Jun Yup to protect her grandchildren from harm.

    After Barbie Hsu’s death, Wang Xiaofei made headlines for spreading false information, including claims of flying a private jet to bring her remains to Taiwan and staging photo ops with paparazzi.

    These media stunts have backfired, and now, Wang Xiaofei is drawing even more public criticism. He and his wife returned to Beijing, China, on February 11th, while the two children remain in Taiwan.

    In addition, Wang Xiaofei is expected to be absent from Barbie Hsu’s memorial service, which has only fueled the public's negative reaction.

    Koo Jun Yup and Barbie Hsu briefly dated in 1998, but after Barbie Hsu’s divorce from Wang Xiaofei in 2021, she reunited with Koo Jun Yeop and they married in 2022.

    Now, Koo Jun Yup is ready to fight for what he believes is right and make sure Barbie Hsu’s children are protected.
