‘Single’s Inferno’ Season 5 Finale: Which {Couples} Ended Up Collectively?

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here, and honestly? Season 5 of Single’s Inferno delivered one of the most dramatic finales we’ve seen yet.

After weeks of love triangles, unexpected connections, and enough romantic tension to keep us glued to our screens, the cast finally made their choices — and some of them genuinely shocked everyone, including the panelists.

If you’ve been following along all season, you know this finale had massive stakes. The Netflix dating series doesn’t have the best track record for sparking lasting romance, with all but one couple ending up in a long-term relationship after filming. But let’s be real — that doesn’t stop any of us from rooting for our favorite partnerships and desperately hoping this season breaks the curse.

So let’s break down every single couple that left the island together, the drama behind their decisions, and — most importantly — the social media clues that might tell us who’s still going strong.

Go-eun’s Three-Way Decision: The Biggest Buildup of the Season

One of the biggest buildups of the season was who exactly Go-eun was going to pick. Kim Go-eun had a huge decision, as she had to pick between three guys: Shin Hyeon-woo, Woo Sung-min and Jo I-geon. All three had been competing for her affection in the latest batch of episodes, and viewers were genuinely split on who she’d choose.

The answer? She ended up choosing Woo Sung-min to leave the show with.

Go-eun explained that he made her feel “super comfortable” and “took care of her in subtle ways” that a lot of people “wouldn’t have noticed.” It’s the kind of reasoning that makes total sense when you think about what actually matters in a relationship — sometimes it’s not about the grand gestures, but the small moments that show someone truly sees you.

However, her decision shocked the panelists, who admitted that her pairing was very “unexpected,” according to Reality Shrine. Given how much screen time her connections with the other contestants received, this was genuinely one of those finale moments that had everyone reacting in real time.

Min-ji and Seung-il: The Couple We Were All Rooting For

Now for the pairing that had everyone holding their breath. You’ll no doubt be pleased to know that Kim Min-ji and Song Seung-il pick each other. They’ve been one of the most shipped couples since the start, but they’ve certainly had their ups and downs.

And when we say ups and downs, we mean it. Seung-il spent time getting to know Choi Mina Sue, while Min-ji picked Lim Su-been for a later Paradise date.

For a while there, it genuinely seemed like these two might miss their chance entirely — the kind of “will they, won’t they” tension that makes this show so addictive.

However, they find their way back to each other in the end. As Seung-il says in the Single’s Inferno Season 5 finale, “I think I was the most myself whenever I was with Min-ji.” That line alone had fans emotional, but the real moment came when they came face-to-face and Min-ji admitted, “I like you,” to Seung-il, causing the hosts to cheer in celebration, per Dexerto.

After all the drama and detours, watching them finally choose each other felt like the payoff we’d been waiting for all season.

The Other Couples Who Found Their Match

Beyond the headline-grabbing pairings, several other couples left Single’s Inferno together, each with their own journey throughout the season.

Park Hee-sun and Lim Su-been ended up leaving the show together, adding another successful match to the finale’s couple count.

Jooyoung and Jae-jin also left Single’s Inferno together, cementing their connection after navigating the complicated dynamics of the island.

Mina Sue and Samuel Lee: The Bilingual Connection That Almost Wasn’t

And despite what some viewers thought, Choi Mina Sue didn’t leave the island alone. Instead, she left with Sung-hun, also known as Samuel Lee.

Their connection had a unique foundation from the start. Choi Mina Sue and Lee Sung-hun hit it off right away, with both having lived in the US and feeling comfortable speaking English. That shared background gave them an instant comfort level that set their relationship apart from others on the show.

But like the other Single’s Inferno Season 5 couples, they’ve been on a roller coaster of emotions. Mina Sue initially found it hard to make a decision on who she liked, while Sung-hun later got to know Hee-sun better. The back-and-forth had viewers wondering if they’d actually end up together or if their early connection would fizzle out completely.

In the end, they came back to each other. Mina Sue says Sung-hun brought out the best version of herself, while Sung-hun says Mina Sue holds a special place in his heart. It’s the kind of mutual appreciation that suggests their connection runs deeper than just island chemistry.

Post-Filming Clues: Who Might Still Be Together?

Now for what everyone really wants to know — are any of these couples still together after the cameras stopped rolling?

While we can’t know for sure yet which Single’s Inferno cast members are still together after the finale, there are some promising signs for at least one couple. Samuel Lee has been liking a lot of Choi Mina Sue’s posts, as well as interacting with comments defending her.

For longtime reality TV fans, this kind of social media activity is often the first indicator that a couple has staying power beyond the show. When cast members actively engage with each other’s content and defend each other online, it usually suggests the connection didn’t end when filming wrapped.

Whether these couples beat the Single’s Inferno odds and stay together remains to be seen, but for now, the finale gave us exactly what we needed — closure, drama, and just enough social media breadcrumbs to keep us speculating until we get official confirmation.
