updating thread with official trailer!
Kim Jae Won, the show's producer and director, shared his gratitude for the show's milestone. He shared, "Thanks to the love and support of our viewers, we've made it to the fourth season. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who continues to tune in each time a new season drops." He added with ambition, "Since we’ve made it this far, I’d like to aim for Season 10 and become Korea’s longest-running dating show."
The teaser poster and preview video for the new season have already heightened viewer anticipation. The teaser trailer raises the stakes with its intense narration, “Love is a brutal survival game,” while scenes show cast members fiercely competing for the coveted “ticket to paradise,” signaling more intense couple-matching battles than ever before.
In a new twist, 'Single's Inferno' revealed that it used street casting for Season 4 in search of fresh, attractive participants. In previous seasons, contestants were scouted primarily through social media.
Producer Kim Jae Won explained the process, saying, "To be honest, compared to other dating shows, it feels like Single's Inferno places a greater emphasis on visuals." He revealed that the scouting team actively searched for contestants on social media but noted, "It’s rare for people to look exactly like their social media photos when we meet them in person, so we focused on those who matched their online presence."
This time, the team took a more active approach by hitting the streets for casting. Kim Jae Won continued, "We asked for phone numbers if we saw someone who seemed like a good fit." He also revealed a funny behind-the-scenes moment: "One morning, the writer team scouted someone, and later that afternoon, the production team scouted the same person — and that person ended up being cast on the show."
Pleased with the results, Producer Kim confidently stated, "I think it was a great decision to do street casting." With the promise of fresh, charismatic new faces, expectations are higher than ever for the upcoming season of 'Single's Inferno.'
