Single’s Inferno Season 4: trailer and what’s new this season
Similar to the previous seasons, the cast members are thrown into Inferno — a place that offers limited resources — and the only way to escape it is to find a match. Only this time around, the Inferno was divided into two places — one for the males and another for the females. Several coupled up but were switched the following day, causing some drama before the Inferno was merged into one location.
Towards the end of Episode 4, the women were also given the opportunity to go on “speed dates” with three new male contestants. However, the catch was only one would be the “wild card” who would join them in Inferno.
Aside from the sizzling interactions among the cast members, fans are being pulled into the show due to the return of Season 2 breakout star and Season 3 panellist Dex AKA Kim Jin Young. He’s as invested as ever as he gives his insights as the show progresses.
Only six out of 12 episodes have been released, but there’s no doubt that this show offers buzzworthy characters to root for. Let’s now dive into the most charming cast members of this new season who are taking the internet by storm so far.
Single’s Inferno Season 4: cast and Instagram accounts
1. Theo Jang
@netflixkcontent you'll love him (eventually) ❤️ #SinglesInferno #SinglesInferno4 #솔로지옥 #솔로지옥4 #HongJinkyung #홍진경 #LeeDahee #이다희 #KYUHYUN #규현 #HANHAE #한해 #Dex #덱스 #whattowatch #Netflix #넷플릭스 #NetflixKorea #NetflixKcontent ♬ 오리지널 사운드 - Netflix K-Content
29-year-old Theo Jang AKA Jang Tae-oh didn’t start out as the most likeable among the cast members as he seemed goofy and overly confident of himself. However, as the episodes unfolded, he seems to be growing on everyone with his fun personality and his affection for Lee Sian.
He appeared in the 2018 K-drama Miss Independent Ji Eun. He also starred in a Malaysian film titled Oppa, which won him the Best Foreign Language Film Actor award. He plays the piano and aspires to be a Hollywood actor.

2. Lee Sian
While other cast members have yet to gain a ticket to “Paradise”, 25-year-old Lee Sian escaped Inferno for two straight consecutive days, making her one of the most popular women on the island. Online, she became the talk of the town after eagle-eyed viewers recognised her as a former idol trainee on survival shows Idol School and Produce 48.
Lee Sian is currently working as a freelance model. While it seems that she stopped pursuing a career in the music industry, she was previously seen attending LE SSERAFIM’s concert as a friend of Yunjin.

3. Kim Hye Jin
26-year-old Kim Hye Jin was also reportedly an idol trainee and won the 2020 Miss Korea pageant. She has worked as a model for beauty and fashion brands.

4. Bae Ji Yeon
In Single’s Inferno Season 4, Dex said he would choose 26-year-old Bae Ji Yeon if he were one of the contestants, making us swoon. He also said that she resembles TWICE’s Sana. Sadly, she seems to be one of the underdogs of the season, but we’ll have to wait till the end to find out if she might be one of the people walking away with a new partner.
While her profession hasn’t been revealed yet, it says on her Instagram bio that she’s a model and “space director”.

5. Yuk Jun Seo
If Single’s Inferno Season 2 had former UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) soldier Dex, Season 4 has 28-year-old Yuk Jun Seo. Despite giving off intimidating vibes during the first part of the show, he later showed his softer side as he became closer with the other female contestants.

6. Jung You Jin
28-year-old Jung You Jin became the talk of the town after having fun by herself on a swing after becoming tipsy in one of the episodes. While the panellists and other cast members seemed to view her behaviour as odd and creepy, other viewers argued that it should not have warranted such criticism.
Beyond the show, she’s a graceful dance teacher who is also pursuing a master’s degree in traditional Korean and contemporary dance at Ewha Women’s University.
Follow her on Instagram.
7. Kim Tae Hwan
32-year-old model and actor Kim Tae Hwan is one of the less active participants in this season, but he has our vote for being drawn towards Jiyeon.
He starred in the Chinese series My Amazing Boyfriend and can be seen posting about his work as a DJ on Instagram.
