Who Ends Up Together On ‘Single’s Inferno’ Season 5?

If you’ve been scrolling through Netflix wondering whether Single's Inferno Season 5 is worth your time—or if you’re halfway through and just need to know how it all ends before committing to the final episodes—you’ve come to the right place. The Korean dating show has wrapped up its fifth season, and the finale delivered some genuinely surprising pairings that even the show’s panelists didn’t see coming.

Let’s cut straight to what you want to know: who left the island together, which couples actually made sense, and whether this season delivered the romantic payoffs that make binge-watching worthwhile.

The Final Couples: Your Complete Rundown

Here’s the quick hit list of who paired up in the Season 5 finale:

Go-eun and Woo Sung-min
Park Hee-sun and Lim Su-been
Kim Min-ji and Song Seung-il
Jooyoung and Jae-jin
Choi Mina Sue and Lee Sung-hun (Samuel Lee)

Now, if those names don’t mean much to you yet, don’t worry. Let’s break down the storylines that made this season one of the most dramatic installments of the series—and help you decide if it’s worth queuing up.

The Biggest Surprise: Go-eun’s Unexpected Choice

One of the most talked-about moments of the entire season came down to Go-eun’s final decision. If you’re looking for drama, this is the storyline to watch for. Kim Go-eun found herself in an enviable (or stressful, depending on how you look at it) position: she had to choose between three guys who were all actively competing for her attention—Shin Hyeon-woo, Woo Sung-min, and Jo I-geon.

In the end, she chose Woo Sung-min, and her reasoning was actually pretty sweet. She 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.”

Here’s the thing though—this pairing genuinely shocked people. The show’s panelists admitted that her choice was very “unexpected,” according to The Tab. So if you enjoy watching a finale that keeps you guessing, Go-eun’s journey delivers that element of surprise that makes dating shows actually entertaining.

The Fan-Favorite Couple: Min-ji and Seung-il

If you’re the type of viewer who roots for couples from the very beginning and needs them to end up together for emotional satisfaction, Kim Min-ji and Song Seung-il are your people. They’ve been one of the most shipped couples since the start of the season, but their path to the finale was anything but smooth.

These two went through genuine ups and downs throughout filming. Seung-il spent time getting to know Choi Mina Sue, while Min-ji picked Lim Su-been for a later Paradise date. For viewers who had been invested in them from early episodes, watching them explore connections with other people created real tension.

But here’s the payoff that makes it worth watching: they find their way back to each other in the end. During the finale, Seung-il delivered one of those lines that dating show fans live for: “I think I was the most myself whenever I was with Min-ji.” And when they came face-to-face for the final choice, Min-ji simply admitted, “I like you,” to Seung-il—a moment that caused the hosts to cheer in celebration, per Dexerto.

If you need your binge-watching to deliver satisfying romantic conclusions, this couple’s arc offers exactly that kind of emotional resolution.

The Bilingual Connection: Mina Sue and Samuel Lee

For viewers who appreciate when contestants have genuine, organic connections based on shared experiences, Choi Mina Sue and Lee Sung-hun (who goes by Samuel Lee) offer an interesting storyline. Both having lived in the US, they hit it off right away, feeling comfortable speaking English with each other—something that set their dynamic apart from other couples on the show.

But don’t think it was a straightforward journey. Like the other Season 5 couples, they experienced their own 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 created genuine uncertainty about whether they’d actually end up together.

In the finale, they came back to each other. Mina Sue said Sung-hun brought out the best version of herself, while Sung-hun said Mina Sue holds a special place in his heart. And here’s a little post-show tidbit for the curious: Samuel Lee has been liking a lot of Choi Mina Sue’s posts on social media, as well as interacting with comments defending her. Make of that what you will.

Should You Actually Watch This Season?

Here’s the honest reality check: the Netflix dating series doesn’t have the best track record for sparking lasting romance. In fact, all but one couple from previous seasons has ended up in a long-term relationship after filming. So if you’re watching hoping these couples are still together today, temper your expectations.

That said, Season 5 has become one of the most exciting seasons yet, according to fan reception. The multiple love triangles, unexpected choices, and genuine emotional moments make it engaging television even if you’re not fully invested in the long-term outcomes.

While we can’t know for sure yet which Single's Inferno cast members are still together after the finale, the social media activity between certain pairs suggests some connections may have lasted beyond the island. For now, the finale itself wraps up the season’s storylines in ways that should satisfy most casual viewers looking for romantic resolution.
