Netflix's 'Single's Inferno' Season 5 Breaks Records with Unprecedented Success

Netflix's reality show 'Single's Inferno' Season 5 has achieved its highest success to date.

The production team's expertly crafted formula of high-stakes romance has once again proven effective in Season 5. The unabashed and confident singles' relentless flirting battles have sparked intense reactions just two weeks after its release.

According to Netflix's TOP 10 website on Wednesday, the 28th, 'Single's Inferno' Season 5 has amassed 4,600,000 views (calculated by dividing viewing hours by the show's total running time from January 19 to 25) and 23,600,000 viewing hours, securing a spot in the global TOP 10. Additionally, it has climbed to the 2nd position in Netflix's TOP 10 TV Non-English Shows category and has appeared in the TOP 10 lists of 32 countries, including Korea, Australia, Brazil, Japan, and Singapore, marking a series-high achievement that underscores its legendary status in dating reality shows.

Episodes 5-7, released on the 27th, depicted an intensified 'Inferno' following a stormy truth game, as Kyuhyun remarked, “Everyone is confused.” The fierce emotional battles to win love amidst tangled feelings exploded. The unexpected entry of the 'twin catfish' into the inferno heightened the tension even further.

Particularly, the unyielding rivalry between Kim Min-ji and Choi Min-a-su set the stage for a 'Queens' War,' while the intense pursuit of Kim Go-eun by Shin Hyun-woo, Woo Sung-min, and Jo Yi-geon continuously shook the dynamics of the love lines. The ever-changing love lines of the singles, with even the strong-hearted Dex declaring, “I surrender,” offered an unpredictable thrill and dopamine rush unique to 'Single's Inferno.'

Episodes 8-10 of 'Single's Inferno' Season 5 will be available exclusively on Netflix on the 3rd.
