Netflix ‘Single's Inferno 5’ capture.
As Sunghun and Choi Minasu became the final couple on ‘Single's Inferno 5’, Sunghun's display of ‘secure-style love’ is drawing attention.
In the finale released on the 10th, after many twists and turns, Choi Minasu and Sunghun confirmed each other's feelings and left Inferno as the final couple. The reason this couple was received as special lies in Sunghun's attitude of waiting for and understanding Minasu, who wavered in front of multiple options. Many assess that his single-mindedness and generosity completed their happy ending.
From entering Inferno to the final choice, Sunghun's gaze stayed on Minasu throughout. By contrast, Minasu kept open the possibility of relationships with various people, including Seung-il, Subin, and Hyunwoo, and in the process received no small amount of criticism. Sunghun, however, was different. He did not see Minasu's wavering as capriciousness. Instead, he accepted it as a process of choosing and confirming for herself, that is, a time of adventure.
Notably, in the conversation they had after Sunghun returned from a Paradise date with Heeseon, his ‘secure’ stance stood out even more. When Minasu confided her anxiety to him, saying, “I was worried you might feel attracted to Heeseon,” Sunghun said firmly, “Whom I like has not changed. For Paradise and for the vote, it was all you.”
Above all, Sunghun understood Minasu's demeanor, which many had considered light, as ‘adventure.’ Minasu explained her actions to Sunghun candidly: “I deliberately tried to avoid things going well with you. Since both of us are comfortable in English, it felt too predictable. I wanted to take a risk.” In response, Sunghun said instead, “Good job. I think that is cool,” and, “It is more romantic that we circled around and still met.” Sunghun viewed Minasu's wandering not as ‘villainy,’ but as a process that would strengthen their relationship.

In the end, Minasu opened her heart to Sunghun, who steadfastly kept his eyes on her and approached her consistently until the very end. At the final choice, Minasu conveyed her true feelings: “When I am with you, the version of myself that I like comes out. I cannot imagine leaving this place with anyone other than you. Thank you, so very much.”
Sunghun's steady stance allowed Minasu to set down her anxiety and act in a comfortable and natural way. Some called Minasu's time a ‘reed,’ but Sunghun understood that time as ‘adventure’ and watched quietly. And that attitude was the biggest reason this couple could ultimately come together.
