Changes and Makeover for Season 3

Single's Inferno underwent a makeover for the current season. According to the show's renewal announcement on February 9, 2023, Netflix Korea teased the new season would provide 'unpredictable excitement,' and the relationship between contestants would bloom in a new place with new rules. Yoo Ki Hwan, Netflix's unscripted lead for Korea, said, 'What used to be 'Paradise' and 'Inferno' will change completely,' according to Netflix Tudum. 'Paradise,' where contestants take each other for a date and can reveal personal information to each other, has changed completely. Instead of a luxurious resort, it has become a special place for contestants to elevate their romance.

Meanwhile, producers Kim Na-Hyun and Kim Jae-won also revealed the approach to the Single's Inferno season 3 casting process. According to Jae-won, some of the procedures included searching hashtags like '#girlswhoworkout' or '#guyswhoworkout' to find hot and fit contestants for the new season. They also entertained recommendations from people and contacted PR teams in colleges and companies.

Release Date, Cast, and Involvement of Former Contestants

The two previous seasons of Single's Inferno premiered in December, leading many to believe that Single's Inferno season 3 would follow a similar timeline. Viewers were correct, and saw that Single's Inferno season 3 was released on December 12, 2023. The season spanned throughout December and will continue on into January, when the finale will air.

Single's Inferno has a mostly new cast for season 3, with some major K-stars taking the reins for the newest season. For the past two seasons, fans only met the cast during the premiere episodes, and season 3 followed the same route. The Single's Inferno season 3 cast includes Kim Gyu-ri, Choi Hye-seon, An Min-young, Yun Ha-jeong, Yu Si-eun, Choi Min-ji, Choi Min-woo, Lee Jin-seok, Lee Gwan-hee, Son Won-Ik, Yun Ha-bin, and Park Min-kyu.

However, one former contestant who will be heavily involved in the new season is season 2 star Kim Jin-young, according to Pinkvilla. One of Jin-young's highlights during Single's Inferno season 2 was winning the men capture the flag match. However, unlike his previous stint as a contestant, Jin-young will return as a panelist in Single's Inferno season 3. Nonetheless, producers of Single's Inferno have promised to feature hotter and newer faces for the new season.
