The Setting and Format
Single's Inferno is a Korean dating show that bears some similarities to the American dating show Bachelor In Paradise. Both shows transport their young, attractive contestants to a picturesque location far from their everyday lives and provide them with the opportunity to form romantic connections with each other. However, the differences between the two shows are significant.

Bachelor In Paradise is set at a resort in Mexico and brings together cast members who were previously rejected on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. These individuals, having failed to find love on their initial appearances, are given a second chance to find romance with each other in a luxurious setting. In contrast, Single's Inferno sends its cast members to a mostly deserted island with minimal creature comforts. The contestants are encouraged to form connections, with the ultimate goal of escaping to paradise, a luxurious Korean hotel.

Differences in Couple Formation
On Bachelor In Paradise, couples form quickly, and some remain together until the end of the season. Those who fail to couple up are eliminated from the show. In the third season of Single's Inferno, the format does not allow for rapid coupling. The show deliberately separates newly formed couples and encourages them to interact with other cast members, resulting in the continuous formation of new couples. This unique approach leads to ever-evolving dynamics and adds an element of mystery to the show.
