My Journey Tracking the Single’s Inferno Season 1 Pairs
Alright, let’s talk about Single’s Inferno Season 1. I remember when that show dropped, it really caught my attention. The whole concept, stuck on that island ‘Inferno’ and vying for a trip to ‘Paradise’ with someone? Pretty captivating stuff. So, naturally, I started watching.

At first, I was just watching like anyone else. But soon, I found myself getting really invested in who was connecting with whom. It wasn’t straightforward, you know? People would go to Paradise, come back, maybe their feelings changed, or someone new caught their eye. So, I thought, okay, I need to actually keep track of this properly.
I didn’t do anything fancy. I literally just grabbed a notebook I had lying around. Every time there was a significant interaction, a date selection, or a trip to Paradise, I’d jot down the names and maybe a quick note about how it went. Who picked who? Did they seem awkward? Was there chemistry?
Early Observations
Pretty early on, some potential couples started emerging. I remember making notes about:
- Song Ji-a and Kim Hyeon-joong: They had that immediate spark, right? It seemed like a strong possibility from the get-go, so they were definitely high on my list.
- Kang So-yeon and Oh Jin-taek: Their dynamic was intense! Lots of back and forth. I kept marking them down, wondering if they’d stick it out.
- An Yea-won and Kim Jun-sik: These two felt different. More low-key, maybe more stable? I noted their interactions felt quite genuine compared to some others.
Navigating the Twists

Of course, it wasn’t simple. New contestants arrived, shaking everything up. That always made me rethink my notes. And then there was the whole Moon Se-hoon situation. Man, watching his journey was something else. He seemed stuck on Shin Ji-yeon, even when things looked completely hopeless. I made a lot of notes about their interactions, or lack thereof sometimes. It was fascinating to track whether persistence would pay off or just lead to more awkwardness.
I kept updating my notes after each episode, especially after the Paradise reveals. Seeing who picked who to escape Inferno, even for a night, was crucial. It showed who was actively pursuing someone at that moment.
Finalizing the Couples List
Then came the final decision day. This was it, the moment of truth. I had my notebook open, looking at my final predictions based on everything I’d watched and noted down.
I watched each person walk up and make their choice. It was pretty tense! Comparing their final decisions to my running tally was the last step of my little project.
So, after watching that final episode, my confirmed list of couples who walked away from Inferno together was:

- Kim Hyeon-joong & Song Ji-a
- Moon Se-hoon & Shin Ji-yeon
- Oh Jin-taek & Kang So-yeon
- Kim Jun-sik & An Yea-won
And that was basically my process. Just watching closely, taking simple notes along the way, and seeing how it all played out in the end. It was a fun way to engage with the show beyond just passively viewing. Kept me sharp trying to figure out the connections!
