On February 10, the Instagram account of Daily Fashion News shared a video of the cast recreating their couple pictorial poses. In the footage, viewers noticed a ring on Im Soo-been’s left ring finger, traditionally associated with couples.
While it has not been confirmed whether the ring is a couple ring, speculation intensified as the sighting came shortly after a separate video circulated on social media showing the two sitting side by side, seemingly watching “Single’s Inferno 5” together at home. With both a “home date” clip and a public ring appearance, fans quickly began referring to the pair as a potential “real couple”.
Online reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. Comments such as “They’re even having home dates and wearing rings,” and “I love that they’re a real couple,” flooded social media. Some viewers playfully described Im Soo-been as the “regretful male lead” and Park Hee-sun as the “sunshine female lead,” embracing their dynamic as if it were a romance drama.
In the final episode of “Single’s Inferno 5,” released on February 10, Park Hee-sun and Im Soo-been chose each other as their final match. Park Hee-sun, born in 2003, previously earned the title of “Sun” (runner-up) at the 2024 Miss Korea pageant and currently works as an intern at a global cosmetics brand. Im Soo-been, born in 2002, is active as a model and actor. He is also a former baseball pitcher who reportedly changed career paths after an injury, adding to his layered backstory.
Netflix’s “Single’s Inferno” is a dating reality show set on a remote island called “Inferno,” where contestants must form couples in order to leave. Season 5 concluded with its final episode on February 10, but discussions about the cast’s real-life relationships continue to heat up online.
