‘Single’s Inferno’ contestant paired with Miss Earth Mina Sue Choi spotted with another woman

The final episode of “Single’s Inferno” aired on Feb. 10, with five couples successfully formed. Among them, 27-year-old Choi and Lee, 28, attracted the most attention, with many viewers describing them as a well-suited pair, according to Znews.

However, on Thursday morning, social media circulated clips purportedly showing Lee on a date with another woman. In the footage, the two are seen walking hand in hand at what online users claimed was a Disneyland theme park in the U.S.

Both were dressed casually: Lee wore leopard-print pants and a black T-shirt, while the woman wore jeans, a fitted white T-shirt and a hoodie. The pair appeared relaxed and affectionate as they strolled and chatted.

The clips quickly went viral, prompting mixed reactions. Some viewers expressed surprise that Lee appeared to be dating someone other than Choi shortly after the show concluded. Others noted that relationships formed on dating programs often do not continue after filming, adding that such shows may involve elements of scripting.

Neither Lee nor Choi has publicly responded to the speculation.

“Single’s Inferno” features contestants stranded on a remote island dubbed “Inferno,” where they must cook their own meals and secure basic necessities. Participants can leave the island only by forming a couple, according to Korea JoongAng Daily.

The fifth season, which began airing on Jan. 20, was marked by controversy surrounding Choi, who was shown interacting romantically with multiple male contestants before ultimately choosing Lee in the finale.
