Who are the hosts in Single’s Inferno Season 4?

Single’s Inferno wouldn’t be Single’s Inferno without the group of hosts watching and analysing the contestants’ moves, so of course they’re back for Season 4 – and while they’re receiving praise, Netflix viewers are divided by their views on one particular drama. 

While there are plenty of new TV shows to dive into this month, sometimes you just want a bit of reality escapism to keep you going through the winter months. Cue Single’s Inferno.

The hit South Korean dating series made its Season 4 premiere this week, with a host of hot new singletons vying for love in the hopes of leaving the Inferno island and heading to Paradise. 

Already there have been plenty of matches and breakups, with a campfire party causing a stir amongst the contestants. As always, the show’s hosts were there every step of the way, but who are they?

Meet the Single’s Inferno hosts

The cast of celebrity hosts have returned for Single’s Inferno Season 4. Their task is to analyse the Netflix series and share their thoughts on the contestants’ activities, providing thoughtful insights, opinions, and speculation, not to mention plenty of humorous asides.

Single’s Inferno hosts split opinion after Season 4 drama

Arguably the biggest drama in Single’s Inferno Season 4 arrived in Episode 4. After Yuk Jun-seo selected Chung You-jin for a date, he ultimately decided he was more into Kim Min-seol – because the former went on a swing.

Before this, all the contestants played a game where they had to answer a question or take a shot. Throughout the gathering, You-jin appears to be having fun and has a few shots, but her outgoing nature puts Jun-seo off her. 

Things take a turn for the worse when You-jin, realizing she’s alone, decides to go on a swing in the yard. Nearby, Min-seol turns to Jun-seo and draws attention to You-jin, asking if she’s okay while giggling. 

Although the hosts show sympathy towards You-jin, Hanhae describes her on the swing as “a little creepy” and the others agree. Later, they suggest that You-jin went on the swing to draw attention from the male contestants. 

This has divided opinion among the fans. Taking to Reddit, one asked, “What’s wrong with being on the swing and enjoying yourself?” 

Another replied, “I was thinking of the exact same thing. But maybe it’s a mix of cultural difference and context clues. The panelist seemed to think that she was doing it for attention.”

In a separate post, one wrote, “Instead of hating on a girl having a personality and being herself, why don’t people hate on the others who were laughing at her and judging her. Acting all pretty and prestigious all the time is so superficial.”

“She was literally JUST DRUNK. That’s it lol. I think people and hosts are reading into it too much and judging too… Like let her be,” said another. 

However, a third who disagreed stated, “This has nothing to do with her having ‘fun’ or having a ‘personality’. It was just obvious that she was a bit drunk and how she was acting did not seem genuine – the hosts picked up on this even BEFORE the swing incident.”

New episodes of Single’s Inferno Season 4 land on Netflix on January 21. Until then, read about where the Love is Blind engagement ring comes from, all the Below Deck couples who are still together, and the shows to get excited about in 2025.
