Netflix Single’s Inferno Season 5: Where to follow the cast on Instagram

It’s that time of year again. Netflix is bringing back one of its most talked-about and highly rated reality series, and yes, it’s Single’s Inferno. Returning for its fifth season, the show sticks to its winning formula: a group of impossibly good-looking singles from South Korea are stranded on an island, all in the hopes of finding true love or, at the very least, a romantic connection. Over the years, the series has gained massive global popularity and consistently ranks as one of Netflix’s top variety shows, and from the looks of it, this new season might be even bigger than the last.

Judging by its hot and steamy trailer, things are definitely heating up this time around. In fact, the trailer has already sparked some controversy since its release, with many viewers criticising how provocative the show appears to be based on the preview alone.

And honestly, from what we’ve seen so far, from emotional heartbreaks even if they’ve only just met, to intense and flirtatious moments behind closed doors, we’re already fully invested in this year’s cast.

Release date

Set to premiere on Netflix in Singapore on 20 January, the new season introduces another lineup of incredibly attractive singles. And given some of the iconic personalities from past seasons (hello Dex and Yuk Jun seo), we’re excited to see what’s in store this time. With that said, if you’re curious to know who the contestants are this season, you’re in the right place. Just like in our previous editions, we’ve rounded up all the Single’s Inferno Season 5 contestants and where you can follow them on Instagram.

Get to know Netflix Single’s Inferno Season 5 contestants

Kim Min-ji

She’s a runner, she’s a track star, and she’s none other than Kim Min-ji. While her striking visuals might catch your eye at first glance, there’s definitely more to her than just a pretty face. At 29, she has already built up an impressive resume and is no stranger to being in front of the camera. Prior to Single’s Inferno Season 5, she appeared on shows such as SBS’s Goalies, TV Chosun’s Survival King: Tribe Wars, and the popular variety programme Knowing Bros.

Unlike some of the other contestants we’re used to seeing on the show, Kim Min-ji’s Instagram clearly showcases her athletic side, with posts from various competitions she has taken part in. It’s a refreshing change for viewers who appreciate women who are not only beautiful, but genuinely sporty and driven as well.

Lim Sung-jin

Volleyball star Lim Sung jin definitely knows how to raise the bar. Having already amassed 1 million followers before the show even premiered, he might just be the most followed contestant in the series. Born in 1999, the outside hitter currently plays for Uijeongbu KB Insurance Stars in South Korea, where he is recognised for his strong performance in both offense and defense. But let’s be real, while he clearly knows how to dominate on the court, we have a feeling his game on Single’s Inferno will be just as impressive.

Kim Go-eun

Aside from her work as a model, Kim Go-eun first rose to wider public attention when she was crowned second runner-up at the Miss Korea beauty pageant in 2022. She also previously sparked dating rumours with G-Dragon after the pair were spotted together at a football match in Osaka, Japan. However, his agency was quick to shut down the speculation, stating that “She is merely a dongsaeng [younger friend or sibling] that he knows, and their social circles simply overlap.”

Mina Sue Choi

Could Mina Sue Choi be this season’s Nadine Lee? Born in Sydney, Australia, the 26-year-old moved back to South Korea at a young age and is currently studying at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the United States. She made history in 2022 when she was crowned Miss Earth, marking the first time South Korea ever won the title. And from the looks of her Instagram, she comes across as refreshingly down-to-earth and relatable.

Kim Ji Han

Now there’s not just one, but two volleyball players on the show. Kim Ji-han was recently rumoured to be part of the cast of Single’s Inferno Season 5, and while nothing has been officially confirmed, we can definitely see him fitting right in. He is a prominent player who currently plays as an opposite hitter and outside hitter for Seoul Woori Card Woori Won in the Korean V-League. But let’s just say, we have a feeling his charm off the court might be just as strong as his game on it, especially when it comes to the ladies on the island.

Danny Koo

You’ve got sporty contestants, and now you’ve got musically talented ones too. What more could you ask for? Meet Danny Koo, a violinist and singer who is also a member of Ensemble DITTO and previously appeared on the Korean survival show SuperBand 2. Known for his impressive performances and, of course, his good looks, we can already see how he might just be pulling at a few heartstrings on the island.

Single’s Inferno (Season 5) will be available on Netflix from 20 January.
