As long as they are attractive and sincere, they are welcome on our show.
Whether they are celebrities, influencers, or regular people, they are all just people."
He explained, “WhenFreeZiaappeared on our show, she already had a strong fanbase.
The same goes forDex,Lee Kwan Hee, and Yuk Jun Seo.
Just because theyre public figures doesnt mean they dont datethats why we cast them.”
‘Singles Inferno 4’recorded the longest first-week viewership among all seasons and made it to Netflixs Top 10.
However, the producers maintain that “the love that blossoms on the secluded island is real.”
Director Kim Jae Won explained, “The hardest part of making a reality show is doing nothing.
Its difficult to hold back when you want to intervene.
But if we interfere or guide the direction, the authenticity is lost, and the balance is disrupted.
Thats the essence of reality TV.
Its tough, but its a rule we must follow.
The temptation is there, but resisting it is our expertise.”
However, the couple switched partners during a double date in Paradise.
Director Park Soo Ji elaborated “This was a first for the show.
We were curiouswhat happens when people with an existing connection pair up?
Watching it unfold, we could see the contestants wavering, genuinely contemplating who they preferred as a partner.
Even the MCs were visibly shocked.
and “Nothing happened, right?”
The pair even earned the nickname “YukSian” among fans.
Director Park Soo Ji shared, “The crew was just as surprised as the MCs.
It wasnt shocking in a scandalous way, but rather at how quickly their relationship progressed.”
That said, if you take away the cameras, its natural for two young adults with mutual attraction.
Relationships develop at different speeds.
Some escalate quickly, while others take months to unfold.”
By the seasons end, four couples had formed.
Fans are now curious whether the two are still together.
Now that the show has wrapped, Ive asked them to be open and honest with viewers.
I expect theyll reveal their status in their own way."
This is why contestant vetting remains a major topic.
Instead, we conduct reputation checks by contacting former classmates and colleagues.
But its impossible to investigate someones entire life.
Since authenticity is key in dating shows, ensuring contestants are single is crucial.
If a contestant joins while secretly dating someone, its a huge issue for us.
Since they know the consequencesincluding financial penalties.
Theres no reason to believe anyone would enter the show while in a relationship."
So, once again, well put great effort into casting visually striking contestants."
Some viewers even watched the show just for them.
Well take that into account when making decisions soon."
