Single’s Inferno is the chaotic dating show we can’t stop binge-watching, serving up messy love triangles, betrayal, and just the right amount of cringe. But this season, fans aren’t just here for the romance, they’re calling out what looks like a major double standard. Is Lee Si-an getting a free pass for behavior that had Choi Gwan-hee absolutely roasted last season? Let’s break it down.

Flashback to Season 3: Choi Gwan-hee’s Bonfire Blunder

Remember Choi Gwan-hee from Single’s Inferno 3? My guy was juggling connections like an overbooked flight. At a bonfire chat, when asked who he was interested in, he casually pointed to three women and said, “this one, this one, and this one.” He flirted with Choi Hye-seon, Cho Min-ji, and Yun Ha-jeong, sweet-talking each one like she was the one and making them all believe they had a special place in his heart. He kept everyone, from the viewers to the hosts, guessing until the very last episode.

Now, was he kinda playing the field? Yeah. But let’s be real, he at least had some boundaries. He never got overly touchy, he actually respected personal space, and when it came to sleeping arrangements, he chose the sofa.

The Gwan-hee Backlash

The internet came for his soul. People were calling him a player, insincere, even toxic. The way some viewers talked, you’d think he had committed a dating crime. And the panel? Oh, they did not let it slide. Lee Da-hee dragged him every chance she got, making it very clear she was not a fan. By the end of the season, his reputation was cooked, served, and sent straight to the Inferno trash bin.

Fast Forward to Season 4: Lee Si-an’s Love Web

Now, in Single’s Inferno 4, Lee Si-an is out here making even messier moves, but somehow, the reaction is completely different.

She first locked eyes on Kim Jeong-su, even offered to share a bed with him, which he politely declined. On the way back from Paradise, she leaned her head on his shoulder, held his hands, let him massage them, basically giving boyfriend energy.

Then, when Jeong-su seemed unsure about his feelings and Theo Jang came through with all that dedication, Si-an was swayed. She’s confused, but still thinks Theo is the one she likes the most.

Plot twist: When it was time to pick a Paradise date, neither Jeong-su nor Theo was the one she chose—she picked Yuk Jun-seo instead.

And once again, she offered Jun-seo to share the bed, just like she did with Jeong-su. Like, is inviting guys to sleep next to you on the first date a new trend or what? Jun-seo was down for it, and boom, the now-infamous bed scene had the internet absolutely losing its mind.

But here’s where it gets even wilder. After coming back, she had a whole convo with Theo and forgot to mention the fact that she had basically started a new relationship overnight.

The Si-an Treatment: A Softer Touch?

So, you’d think the panel would go in on her like they did with Gwan-hee, right? Nope.

Lee Da-hee made one little comment about how dating someone like Si-an might be dangerous because of how easily she gets swayed, but that was it. Instead of criticism, Hong Jin-kyung literally joked that if Cha Eun-woo, Park Bo-gum, and Byeon Woo-seok were into her, she’d be just as confused. Like… girl just got caught double-dipping and that’s the response?

Meanwhile, viewers were divided. Some were dragging her, calling her too easy, while others defended her, saying she was just confused—or worse, blaming it on the suspiciously generous amount of alcohol the producers kept pushing this season.

Double Standard Drama: What’s the Deal?

So now the internet is fighting. Why did Gwan-hee get torched while Si-an is out here getting excused?

Is the panel playing favorites? Do certain contestants get the gentle treatment while others get roasted alive?

And the real question, who’s actually worse? Did Gwan-hee just suck at the game while Si-an is out here finessing her way through Inferno like a pro?

No matter which side you’re on, one thing’s for sure, Single’s Inferno is still serving up the chaos we live for.
