Single’s Inferno: Are Gwan-hee and Hye-Seon really dating after Season 3?

The drama of Single’s Inferno Season 3 isn’t over just yet, as fans are now eager to know if the main star couple Gwan-Hee and Hye-Seon are dating in real life.

While the final couples of the dating series left the island together, there’s still more drama to unfold. Like prior seasons, Single’s Inferno Season 3 was filmed during the hot summer months and aired in December. This means the cast have had months to really get to know each other and become friends after filming.

Instagram posts have already revealed that the cast stayed close after Single’s Inferno. But the big question is what final couples ended up dating for real or just remained friends? Fans are curious to see if the drama and tears between Gwan-Hee and Hye-Seon solidified a relationship after the season finale.

With the finale having aired, Gwan-Hee has been in the spotlight seeing as he’s a public athlete. Here’s what he had to say about Hye-Seon.

Gwan-hee and Hye-Seon were hesitant to clear up rumors

In prior seasons of Single’s Inferno, fans took to social media to flesh out whether or not the contestants dated each other in real life. But no contestants from Seasons 1 and 2 have ever made a public announcement of an ongoing relationship with the person they chose in Inferno.

According to a rough translation of the OSEN article on Naver, it seems that Gwan-Hee is not allowed or ready yet to reveal his relationship status with Hye-Seon. The same goes for the other contestants.

“We talk to each other and are getting along,” he revealed about his current status with Hye-Seon.

Whether they are an official couple, he said, “I can’t tell you everything in detail, but all of the contestants keep in touch and get along well. Of course, I am also getting along fine with Choi Hye Seon, but I am careful not to reveal too much.”

Based on Netflix rules, the cast is not allowed to post spoilers about what happened in the series until after the finale. After Single’s Inferno Season 2, the producers said they wouldn’t reveal which couples were currently dating, as the choice to divulge details regarding their personal lives was up to the contestants.

Single’s Inferno fans overwhelmed Hye-Seon

Choi Hye-Seon surprised everyone with her incredible social media popularity bloom – however, newfound popularity can be difficult to handle for many people. Hye-Seon was constantly bombarded with questions regarding her relationship with Gwan-Hee and Son Won-Ik.

The speculations and questions got worse when a YouTube video she filmed with Won-Ik was released. Her profile was flooded with hate comments while her fans tried their best to defend her.

As fans know, Hye-Seon is no longer in Korea. She went abroad to Durham University to get her Master’s degree, as per her LinkedIn profile. Consequently, Hye-Seon announced a social media break to focus on her offline life and studies.

She replied to a fan comment that encouraged her to stay firm with her boundaries and not feel pressured to reveal private details. Hye-Seon wrote: “This truly means everything to me, got me so relieved! Tysm for such a warm message 🙂 guess I’ll take some time off the internet and I’ll be more than fine😊”

Single’s Inferno Gwan-Hee steps up to clarify dating rumors

It seems that Gwan-Hee was keeping his and Hye-seon’s relationship status a secret until it was crucial to reveal it. Gwan-Hee stepped up to clear the air after Hye-Seon went on a hiatus for her mental health because of the unnecessary hate she received from Single’s Inferno franchise fans.

In the video, Gwan-Hee expressed that he was unsure if uploading the video was a good choice, but he felt responsible to the people around him including Hye-Seon. He clarified that he and Hye-Seon did not continue their relationship after leaving the Island.

He further added that the reason for that was he wasn’t open to a long-distance relationship, and both he and Hye-Seon had extremely busy schedules. However, Gwan-Hee and Hye-Seon continue being friends and occasionally contact each other, as well as with other castmates.
