Hong Jin-kyung, who drew attention on ‘Single’s Inferno 5’ for her blunt remarks, revealed herself apologizing to Choi Minasu at a get-together after the finale.

On the 12th, Hong posted several photos on her Instagram from a dinner gathering celebrating the conclusion of the Netflix variety show ‘Single’s Inferno 5’.

In the released photos, Choi Minasu sits with her arms crossed and a stern expression, while in front of her, Hong Jin-kyung bows her head in an ‘at ease’ posture like a student who did something wrong.

Adding a gesture of putting both hands together as if pleading for forgiveness drew laughter, and the other cast members around them also filmed the scene on their phones, keeping the friendly mood going.

Earlier on the show, addressing Choi Minasu, who was torn among four male contestants, Hong Jin-kyung said, “Cut it out,” drawing attention. She went on with unrestrained remarks such as “It is painful to watch now,” and even offered plain-spoken advice, saying, “When your mind has collapsed, you should also know how to stay still.” She later revealed that she had been asked by the production team to moderate the intensity of her comments, recounting the situation at the time.
