The truth game on Single’s Inferno often reveals shifting feelings, but the one in Episode 4 delivered an especially dramatic twist. During a high-pressure group dinner, the singles were forced to publicly reveal their crushes, leading to unexpected confessions and immediate consequences that reshaped the romantic landscape on the island.
The Rules of the Season 5 Truth Game
In previous seasons, contestants could choose to drink a bitter tea instead of answering a revealing question. For Season 5, the producers removed that option. During the group dinner in Episode 4, every contestant had to answer every question with complete honesty, with no way to hide their true feelings.
This rule change created a much more tense and dramatic atmosphere. The hosts, including Dex and Lee Da-hee, had noted at the season’s start that this cast was “shockingly honest and expressive,” and this game forced that honesty into the open.
Key Revelations and Love Triangles Exposed
The game quickly exposed several major storylines and love triangles that had been developing in secret.
One of the biggest shocks involved Kim Jae-jin, the professional dancer. While sitting next to Park Hee-sun, he was asked who he wanted to go to Paradise with. He answered Lee Joo-young, the craft designer. This public declaration happened while Hee-sun, who had shown interest in Jae-jin, was literally holding his hand, creating an intensely awkward moment for everyone at the table.
Another significant shift came from Choi Mina Sue, the Miss Earth 2022 winner. She had been receiving attention from multiple men, including Song Seung-il and Lee Sung-hun. During the game, she confirmed her interest had switched to Song Seung-il after learning he liked her back. This upset Kim Min-ji, the track athlete, who had also been developing feelings for Seung-il after their Paradise date.
Other important confessions included:
- Shin Hyeon-woo stating he likes Kim Go-eun.
- Kim Go-eun, the model and former Miss Korea, revealing she gave her special chocolates to Shin Hyeon-woo and Woo Sung-min.
- Lim Su-been, the former baseball player, confirming he likes Choi Mina Sue.
- Lee Joo-young stating she likes Kim Jae-jin, making their connection mutual.
Contestant Reactions to the Public Confessions
The immediate reactions to these forced confessions were a mix of shock, disappointment, and strategic calculation. The game’s format did not allow for private conversations, so feelings were hurt in front of the entire group.
For Park Hee-sun, Jae-jin’s confession was a public rejection. She had given him a “gold chocolate” earlier, signaling she wanted to get to know him better, but he placed her as his second choice during the game.
The love triangle between Choi Mina Sue, Song Seung-il, and Kim Min-ji became a central point of tension. Seung-il added more complexity by stating he would choose someone new for his next Paradise date, despite having already gone with Min-ji. This left Min-ji’s feelings for him hanging in the balance.
How Episode 4 Changed the Game
The fallout from the truth game had an instant impact on the dynamics in Inferno. Secrets were eliminated, forcing contestants to be more direct with their pursuits. Alliances and rivalries became clear, setting the stage for more open competition in the upcoming days.
The game also provided clarity on the “Inner Feelings Vote” results from earlier in the season, where contestants gave special chocolates to signal interest. The public confessions confirmed who sent chocolates to whom, validating some suspicions and disproving others.
