Single’s Inferno Season 3 Episode 5: Choi Min-Ji chooses two men for Paradise
The latest episode of Single’s Inferno picks up from where the previous episode left off. After Gwan-Hee reveals being equally interested in Choi Hye-Seon, Yun Ha-Jeong, and Kim Gyu-Ri, the ladies are offended at him for pointing them out. He gets the chance to spend some time alone with Gyu-Ri, expressing his interest in getting to know her better. Park Min-Kyu, however, feels offended as he had previously expressed interest in Gyu-Ri.
Meanwhile, Lee Jin-Seok and An Min-Young have a conversation. Min-Young clarifies how she feels that they are already a couple because of the way Jin-Seok behaves. However, he advises her to explore her options as he continues to fight for her. Although Min-Young expresses her gratitude, she still remains conflicted about her feelings.
The following day, the cast gathers for breakfast when Yu Si-Eun grows closer to Choi Min-Woo. Song Won-Ik grows jealous of their closeness, given he likes Si-Eun. Soon, the women gather to update each other on their feelings and are quite open about their disappointment with Lee Gwan-Hee’s behavior the previous night. Furthermore, both Choi Hye-Seon and Yun Ha-Jeong feel that they are backups, while Kim Gyu-Ri doesn’t appreciate their conversation that night.
As they continue their breakfast, Min-Woo gets called to the other side of the island. They quickly realize there’s a newcomer and feel nervous. One by one, each of the men talks to the newest arrival, Choi Min-Ji. While some leave her impressed, others fail. After she has the conversations, Min-Ji gets to choose two men to take to Paradise. She ultimately chooses Min-Woo and Jin-Seok, as the two caught her eyes.
The three of them head to Paradise. Min-Young worries that Jin-Seok will change his mind. Meanwhile, the latter and Min-Woo leave for Paradise with Min-Ji. Upon reaching the destination, Min-Ji can only take one man for dinner and the other for the pool. She takes Min-Woo for dinner. However, the two barely connect as their expectations of an ideal partner are extremely different. Viewers find out that Min-Woo is a 24-year-old model, while Min-Ji is a 26-year-old economics major at Ewha University, Korea.
Min-Ji meets Jin-Seok, and the two bond much better. Both actively express their interest in each other. In the end, when Min-Ji asks Jin-Seok if he has his ideal woman at Inferno, he says, “Yes, but not anymore.” Does this mean that he’s over Min-Young and wants to pursue Min-Ji? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, Min-Young misses him, which means that she still likes him.
