Singles Inferno – Season 4 (2025) sets the stage for a heightened experience of romantic pursuit and strategic play. This season throws a curveball with rule alterations—switching contestants between the rudimentary Inferno camp and luxurious Paradise, and introducing pre-selection pairings that upend the usual slow-burn dynamic.

The cast includes a compelling mix of personalities: Lee Si-an, Kim Tae-Hwan, Yuk Jun-seo, Jang Theo, and others bring a vivid, emotive energy that dominates the island’s social fabric.
