So-e developed feelings for Yoong-jae on ‘Single’s Inferno’ Season 2

It was no surprise that Yoong-jae had many suitors at the start of Single’s Inferno Season 2. He has the boy next door charm who was kind to all female contestants. It led So-e to develop feelings for him. But knowing how she is when dating, So-e knew she always falls harder for the person first until the feelings go away on their own. Fans soon started to see heartbreak on the horizon as Yoong-jae developed an interest in Seo-eun.

So-e, too, began to realize that she may not be someone Yoong-jae would be interested in. In a heart-to-heart, So-e was brave to express her feelings to Yoong-jae and explained she at least wanted to be someone he would be interested in getting to know. Fans saw a silver lining when Yoong-jae agreed to let her know how he felt before it was too late.

But it came crashing down when he had to choose a date for Paradise. Shortly after his talk with So-e on Single’s Inferno Season 2, Yoong-jae shocked everyone by choosing Nadine. So-e was left brokenhearted again, and the hosts realized he had done it on purpose to avoid her.

Facing the cold truth, So-e had one final conversation with Yoong-jae on Single’s Inferno Season 2. She aired her grievances and made him confirm that it was always Seo-eun. For So-e, her feelings were important, “but as time passes, it won’t be a big deal.” While dealing with her leftover emotions, So-e decided to be friends.

Fans agree that while Yoong-jae had a right to develop feelings for Seo-eun, he could have handled the situation with So-e better. The catalyst was his decision for Paradise. In an interview with No! Backstage, Yoong-jae breaks down what happened with So-e. He admits that he knows fans are upset about “So-e’s rejection.”

When it comes down to it, “Whatever my situation, I feel sorry for So-e. I thought I expressed my intention to decline well, but I think it lacked a little more expression. I’m really sorry for hurting So-e’s feelings.”

There is no denying that Single’s Inferno Season 2 had Yoong-jae made out to be a type of bad guy for how he handled it. But fans rallied behind So-e and her braveness to confront him when she felt she needed to express her feelings and pain.

Even on a dating series, it is not easy to quickly develop and throw away feelings for another person. As the series progressed, fans found a silver lining when realizing how well Yoong-jae and Seo-eun fit together. Fans were filled with glee when Se-jun arrived on Single’s Inferno Season 2.
