Netflix‘s sizzling dating reality show, Single’s Inferno, has once again captured the hearts of viewers with its dramatic twists and genuine connections. Season 4 delivered a particularly memorable moment when final couple Yuk Jun Seo and Lee Sian shared a bed in Paradise, sparking a flurry of reactions both on screen and online. Now, the production team is opening up about this buzzed-about scene, offering insights into the couple’s intimacy and the show’s approach to capturing these raw moments.
A First for Single’s Inferno
Single’s Inferno has consistently pushed boundaries, becoming the first Korean variety program to break into Netflix‘s Global Top 10 (Non-English TV). With viewership soaring through seasons 2 and 3, culminating in the recent confirmation of Season 5, the show’s impact is undeniable. But Season 4 introduced a new level of intimacy, leaving viewers and panelists alike stunned.
The moment in question saw Yuk Jun Seo and Lee Sian sharing a bed in the luxurious Paradise setting. Panelists Hong Jin Kyung, Dex, and Hanhae‘s shocked reactions echoed the audience’s surprise, with exclamations of “What happened?!” ringing out. This unprecedented display of intimacy raised questions about the level of production intervention and the couple’s burgeoning relationship.
“What You Saw is Exactly What Happened”
Addressing the speculation surrounding the scene, director Park Su Ji firmly stated,
“There were no additional edited scenes. What you saw is exactly what happened. Cameras were present at all times, and we did not manipulate the footage.
This reassurance emphasizes the show’s commitment to authenticity, even in its most intimate moments.
Park Su Ji further explained the production team’s approach, saying,
“When editing, we prioritized following their emotions rather than just considering what viewers might like. They naturally grew closer that night, sharing a blanket and creating a true couple-like atmosphere. Since audiences would be curious about how they became so close, we wanted to show that progression.”
The focus, she emphasized, was on capturing the genuine development of their connection, rather than sensationalizing the “bed” or “sleeping together” aspect. However, she admitted,
“We were definitely surprised. It was a first-time occurrence on the show.”
“The Sparks Between Them Were Undeniable”
Director Kim Jae Won offered further insight into the context of the scene, commenting,
“The panelists may have been shocked because it happened in front of the cameras, but in reality, it’s not a big deal. It’s natural for young men and women in their twenties who are dating or developing feelings for each other.”
He highlighted the genuine connection between Yuk Jun Seo and Lee Sian, stating,
“The sparks between them were undeniable. I believe we captured this well, and it reflects the unique charm of this season. Among all seasons, Yuk Jun Seo and Lee Sian were the most genuine contestants, lowering their guard and expressing their emotions without pretense. I anticipate even more positive reactions from viewers because sincerity always prevails.”
