‘Single’s Inferno’ Season 5 Confirmed “Netflix’s First Korean Variety Show to Reach This Milestone”
“Single’s Inferno” is a dating reality show set on a remote island called “Inferno”, where contestants can only escape if they form a couple. Each season captivated viewers worldwide, turning the show into a syndromic-level phenomenon. With four seasons of consecutive success, “Single’s Inferno” has now made history as the first Korean variety show on Netflix to reach a fifth season.
The show’s meteoric rise began with Season 1, which became the first-ever Korean variety show to enter Netflix’s Global TOP 10 TV (Non-English). Season 2 maintained this momentum, remaining in the TOP 10 for four weeks straight and amassing a staggering 65.08 million cumulative viewing hours. Season 3, with its bold, rule-breaking format, dominated the Global TOP 10 for five weeks and secured a spot in the TOP 10 lists of 31 countries.
Season 4, featuring some of the most candid and dynamic contestants to date, continued the show’s evolution in the dating reality genre, receiving praise for pushing the boundaries of dating entertainment. It also set a new record for the highest first-week viewership of any “Single’s Inferno” season, securing a spot in the TOP 10 immediately after release. With each new episode, the show took over online forums, reaffirming its status as an unbeatable hit series.
At the heart of “Single’s Inferno” are charismatic and unfiltered singles, who continue to ignite viewers’ romantic instincts and drive global buzz every season. From unexpected plot twists more dramatic than a movie to unpredictable relationships, the show has consistently evolved to keep viewers hooked.
Another key factor behind “Single’s Inferno”‘s success is its MC lineup—Hong Jin-kyung, Lee Da-hee, Kyuhyun, Hanhae and Dex—whose witty, unfiltered commentary and chemistry add to the show’s appeal. As Season 5 approaches, fans eagerly anticipate what new, sizzling stories will unfold in this sweet yet hot version of “Inferno”.
PDs Kim Jae-won, Kim Jung-hyun and Park Soo-ji expressed their gratitude, stating, “Thanks to your immense love and support, we’ve made it to Season 5. We will listen closely to our viewers and return with an even more refined and thrilling new season.” This promise has only heightened excitement for the upcoming installment.
