'Single's Inferno 3' stars Lee Gwan-hee and Choi Hye-seon confirm relationship

Lee Gwan-hee and Choi Hye-seon, who gained fame on the Netflix reality dating show 'Single's Inferno 3,' have confirmed they are a couple. The pair announced their relationship on social media, more than two years after the show concluded its broadcast.

Their confirmation follows media reports that suggested the two had developed romantic feelings starting in December 2023. The popular dating series, which aired from December 2023 to January 2024, brought together singles on a deserted island, where they could only escape to 'Paradise' – a luxury hotel – if they paired up.

Lee, a professional basketball player, and Choi, who works in the beauty industry, became a central focus of the third season due to their complex dynamic. Their journey on the show captivated viewers as they navigated their connections with other contestants before ultimately choosing each other in the finale.

The couple's public acknowledgment of their relationship marks a significant moment for fans who followed their journey on 'Single's Inferno 3.' Their "real-life couple" status, or 'hyun-keo' as it's known in Korean, signals the start of their public relationship, often referred to as 'love-stagram' when couples share their affection online.
