Recap of Drama and Couples From Season 5 Part 1
The first four episodes, which premiered on January 20, 2026, introduced a large new cast and set the stage for complex relationships. The initial Paradise matches saw Kim Min-ji choose Woo Sung-min, and Kim Jae-jin select Ham Ye-jin. However, feelings began to shift quickly during subsequent games and a second round of matching.
Key storylines from Part 1 include:
- A growing connection between Kim Go-eun and Woo Sung-min, who enjoyed a second, more intimate Paradise date.
- A clear love triangle involving Kim Jae-jin, Park Hee-sun, and Lee Joo-young. During a tense truth game, Jae-jin admitted Joo-young was his top choice while he was holding Hee-sun’s hand.
- Another triangle formed around Choi Mina Sue, Song Seung-il, and Kim Min-ji. Mina Sue switched her interest to Seung-il after learning he liked her back, which upset Min-ji.
- The classic “truth or drink” game returned with a major twist. Contestants were no longer allowed to choose a drink to avoid answering; they had to respond to every question honestly, leading to major revelations.
“One of the key highlights to watch in the first week is the truth or dare game. To give a slight spoiler, we introduced a new rule this timeโฆ This time, every question had to be answered. This caused complete chaos,” said producer Kim Jae-won.
What to Expect in Single’s Inferno Season 5 Episodes 5-7
The next batch of episodes will continue to explore the fallout from the honest confessions made during the truth game. Viewers can expect to see which budding couples solidify their connections and which ones fracture under the pressure of new arrivals and competition.
The host panel, featuring Hanhae, Dex, Hong Jin-kyung, Lee Da-hee, and Kyuhyun, will return to provide their reactions to the unfolding drama. Producer Kim Jae-won has stated that this season features a broader range of main characters and stories compared to past years.
“This season had more main characters than any other,” the producers explained. “Unlike previous seasons where the narrative focused on one or two star cast members, it seemed like various charactersโฆ interestingly showcased their own stories”.
New challenges and games are sure to test the contestants’ loyalties. Furthermore, producers have promised that the iconic pool scenes in Season 5 will be particularly memorable.
