Reality Stars from 'Single's Inferno 5' and 'Transit Love 4' Reveal Behind-the-Scenes Secrets

Stars from Netflix's 'Single's Inferno 5' and TVING's 'Transit Love 4', who have captivated South Korea, gathered to discuss behind-the-scenes stories and controversies.

On BIGBANG Daesung's YouTube channel 'House Daesung', a video titled 'Avoiding Explanations: Transit Love 4 X Single's Inferno 5' was uploaded.

The video featured guests Hong Ji-yeon and Jo Yoo-sik from 'Transit Love 4', and Kim Go-eun and Song Seung-il from 'Single's Inferno 5'. Daesung, who calls himself a dating show addict, expressed excitement about this crossover meeting and led the conversation with sharp questions.

A highlight was Kim Go-eun's shocking final choice on 'Single's Inferno 5'. She chose Woo Sung-min over Jo Yi-geon, citing 'overlapping acquaintances' as a decisive factor. Kim confessed, "Even though my feelings for Jo Yi-geon grew, the presence of overlapping acquaintances kept holding me back." When Daesung pressed for details, Kim appeared flustered but added that she maintains a good relationship with Jo Yi-geon, leaving room for future developments.

Jo Yoo-sik, known for the 'Yoo-sik Calculation Method' on 'Transit Love 4', addressed the mathematical controversy surrounding him. He had claimed a 9-year relationship with ex-girlfriend Kwak Min-kyung, despite it being 7 years and 5 months. Jo explained, "It's not that I'm bad at math; it's just that we celebrated anniversaries in days early on, and later naturally switched to years." Daesung humorously related, "I also sometimes speak vaguely about my age." Jo also explained his squinting during interviews was due to lighting, air conditioning, and lens issues.

The cast candidly discussed the realities and challenges of reality TV. On the topic of pay, Song Seung-il dismissed online speculation but mentioned it was "reasonable." Jo Yoo-sik humorously emphasized the need for incentives due to the long filming period of 'Transit Love'. Hong Ji-yeon lamented skin damage from late-night interviews and short sleep, while Song Seung-il joked about sun damage from filming in the 'hellscape'.

When asked about future dating show appearances, Kim Go-eun expressed interest in shows like 'Noona is My Woman' or the 'Transit Love' series. In contrast, Hong Ji-yeon, showing affection for her current partner Kim Woo-jin, stated she had no plans to appear on any show except 'Change Days'. Song Seung-il, criticized for his handling of his breakup with Kim Min-ji, admitted his past confusion and formally apologized, showing maturity.
