According to Korean media, the dating reality show "Single's Inferno" season 5 is attracting attention as it gathers many famous faces, including beauty queens, models, famous athletes...
Especially, among the contestants, Lee Sung Hun (or Samuel Lee) has recently become the focus of discussion when information about his work was revealed.
Lee Sung Hun holds a dual degree in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from the prestigious UC Berkeley University in the US; and is currently a quantitative trader in New York City, with a salary ranging from 500 thousand USD to 1 million USD/year.
Previously, he worked as an AI software engineer at Amazon, Google, Snowflake and Accenture.
In addition, there are rumors that Sung Hun is the grandson of former South Korean President Lee Myung Bak, although he has not confirmed it.
Not long after "Single Hell 5" aired, Sung Hun was accused of betraying his girlfriend, but he quickly denied all the accusations in an official statement.
Throughout the program, the audience's feelings about Lee were quite mixed, some people praised his personality and appearance, and some people were skeptical.
Recently, on Xiaohongshu (RedNote) - a Chinese social networking platform - a user shared a story about her boyfriend meeting Lee Sung Hun at the gym.
According to this person, although she was not very impressed with Sung Hun in the program, in real life he was "much more handsome" and "looked like a kind person". Sung Hun even asked the girl's boyfriend about the reaction of netizens on RedNote to him.
After that, the post was shared again and Sung Hun received many compliments about his appearance. In the photo taken at the gym, his fashion style and hairstyle were praised by fans.
In the program "Single Hell 5", Lee Sung Hun is the player added in episode 2. After many episodes aired, his screen time was very modest compared to the cast of contestants because he continuously encountered disadvantages in drawing lots and team division.
Choi Mina Sue - Miss Earth 2022 - is a rare female player with whom Sung Hun has developed a relationship to get to know each other. But Mina Sue only considers Sung Hun as a confidant and a "backup option".
However, after Mina Sue's relationships with other guys failed, the audience predicted that she would eventually choose Sung Hun.
There are even rumors that Sung Hun and Mina Sue will be the two successful matchmakers of this year's show.
Netizens discovered that the two still maintained interaction on social networks for many months. When Sung Hun reopened his Instagram account after the love scandal, he "heart-dropped" many comments defending Mina Sue amidst criticism aimed at her in the program.
