The reality dating show Single’s Inferno 5 delivered plenty of drama, tension, and romantic moments, but the story doesn’t always end when the cameras stop rolling. Kim Min-gee, the 29-year-old athlete who won hearts with her straightforward personality, has sparked serious speculation that her relationship with final partner Song Seung-il may already be over.
Fans who watched the February 10 finale saw Min-gee and Seung-il leave Inferno together as a couple . But just days after the episodes dropped on Netflix, the 24-year-old fashion marketer and the track star are at the center of breakup rumors that have taken over social media.
What Kim Min-gee Posted That Started the Breakup Speculation
On February 13, Kim Min-gee shared a lengthy and emotional reflection on her personal social media account . The post came shortly after the finale aired and gave fans a glimpse into her emotional state after filming ended.
Min-gee wrote about rewatching the show and feeling the summer emotions all over again. She admitted that life after filming was not easy .
“After filming ended, there were tough periods when my heart felt heavy, but thanks to the friends I shared laughter and tears with, I managed to move forward.”
What caught everyone’s attention was how she thanked her castmates. Min-gee listed every single contestant by name, including Song Seung-il, but there was no special mention of him as her partner . She simply included his name in the long list of people she was grateful to, without any personal message directed at him.
For fans who watched them leave the show together, this felt like a clear sign that things did not work out between them in the real world.
Reunion Trailer and Photos Show Distance Between the Couple
The speculation did not stop with Min-gee’s Instagram post. On February 11, Netflix dropped a surprise trailer for the Single’s Inferno 5 Reunion, which is set to release on February 14 . The trailer gave fans their first look at all the couples coming back together, and many noticed something off about Min-gee and Seung-il .
Unlike other couples who appeared comfortable and affectionate, Min-gee and Seung-il seemed distant. Viewers pointed out a moment where Seung-il appeared to pull his hand away quickly, and the overall vibe between them felt forced .
The official reunion poster also fueled the rumors. Min-gee and Seung-il are positioned far apart, while other couples stand closer together . For fans who pay attention to every detail, this said everything.
Social Media Activity Raises Questions
Beyond the official content, fans have been doing their own detective work online. Observers noticed that Min-gee and Seung-il do not follow each other on Instagram, even though many other contestants from the season have connected on the platform .
This kind of detail matters to viewers who follow reality dating shows closely. When contestants form real relationships, they usually follow each other and interact publicly. The lack of any online connection between Min-gee and Seung-il suggests there is nothing to maintain.
What the Reunion Episode Revealed About Their Status
The Single’s Inferno 5 Reunion arrived on Netflix on February 14, and it finally gave fans the answers they were looking for . Unlike previous seasons that only had a one-episode reunion, this time Netflix released a full six-episode reunion season that showed what really happened after the show ended .
According to the reunion episodes, Kim Min-gee admitted that their relationship felt one-sided once they got out of the show. She described their situation as complicated and made a striking statement that her love was struck in inferno, meaning it did not make it out into the real world .
The couple confirmed they are not dating . This matched what many viewers had already guessed from the trailer and Min-gee’s social media post.
The Other Couples From Single’s Inferno 5
While Min-gee and Seung-il did not work out, the reunion revealed different outcomes for the other four couples who left Inferno together .
Park Hee-sun and Lim Su-been are still together and have been going on dates after the show . They appear to be the strongest couple from this season.
Choi Mina Sue and Lee Sung-hoon did not date after leaving Inferno but remained good friends . Their busy schedules kept them from meeting up, though they stayed in touch.
Lee Joo-young and Kim Jae-jin kept their relationship status private . They did stay in contact, but they chose not to reveal whether they are still dating.
Kim Go-eun and Woo Sung-min did not continue their relationship either and stayed friends . Rumors even suggest that Go-eun might be dating Jo I-geon instead.
Why Fans Were So Invested in Min-gee and Seung-il
Throughout Single’s Inferno 5, Kim Min-gee stood out as one of the most popular contestants. Viewers called her the Karina of track because of her stunning visuals and athletic build . Before the show aired, she had around 450,000 social media followers. That number has now jumped to over 1.47 million .
Her honest personality won people over. She did not play games or hide her feelings, which made her journey on the show feel real .
Song Seung-il also gained attention as a fashion marketer with a calm and collected demeanor. Together, they looked like the power couple of the season . Seeing them struggle in the real world hit differently for fans who rooted for them.
What Kim Min-gee and Song Seung-il Are Doing Now
Despite the breakup news, both Min-gee and Seung-il are moving forward with their careers. Kim Min-gee continues to gain popularity as a public figure and influencer . Her social media following keeps growing, and she remains a beloved figure from the show.
Song Seung-il has not publicly commented on the breakup rumors or his relationship status. He continues to work in fashion marketing and maintains a lower profile compared to some of the other contestants.
