With the world of dating being a blend of complex and wholesome moments owing to the efforts put forth by an individual, reality shows revolving around the same often get the most traction. That’s because they give us an insight into what it really takes to be in a happy, healthy, long-term relationship, all the while also being sprinkled with drama and some needless challenges. Amongst them is none other than Netflix’s ‘Single’s Inferno,’ season 4 of which introduced Kim Hye-Jin and An Jong-Hoon, whose connection proved to be the epitome of a natural bond.
Hye-Jin and Jong-Hoon Felt a Spark The Moment They Locked Eyes
With Jong-Hoon being a bombshell who made his entry in episode 5, everything turned upside down for Hye-Jin. She didn’t have any connections before him, but their speed date left her wanting more, resulting in her voting for him to join the show. Little did she know she would then be picked by him, alongside Lee Si-An, to spend a day in Paradise, with them learning more about one another. From their jobs to their ages to their beliefs, they covered everything in a single evening, only to realize they were a great fit. Sadly, they never got a chance to go to Paradise again, but they did have a great time in Inferno together.
The truth is that Hye-Jin was initially attracted to Kook Dong-Ho’s quiet charm, but once she noticed he had his heart set on one of the two other women already vying for him, she decided to move on. Therefore, when Jong-Hoon came into the picture, disarmed her with his charismatic smile, and openly expressed interest in her, too, she welcomed his slow, intimate advances with open arms. Neither of them truly ever expected to catch such strong feelings in such a short amount of time, but they did, which is why he didn’t really open up when picked for the final Paradise date by Chung You-Jin.
Hye-Jin and Jong-Hoon Could Still Be Together
If we’re being honest, there was a brief moment where it seemed as if Hye-Jin and Jong-Hoon were settling for one another, yet their sentiments in the end made clear they were serious. In fact, during the final evening in Inferno, the former went as far as to assert he made her heart skip a beat when he expressed himself openly, only encouraging him to do so more often. Therefore, when the final matching came around, he didn’t hesitate for a moment before picking the girl for whom he felt sparks from the get-go, and she chose him back. They really did want to explore their connection in the real world.
So, considering Hye-Jin and Jong-Hoon’s cozy and comfortable stint throughout the original production, it’s highly likely the duo is still romantically involved. Neither this 25-year-old professional model nor the 33-year-old restaurant owner has explicitly revealed their relationship status as of writing, yet they could very well be keeping things on the down low owing to their recent rise in the public eye. Whatever the case may be, they both appear perfectly content with their life these days, which is all that matters in the long run. We’re honestly rooting for them and can’t wait to see what’s in the cards for them next.
Hye-Jin and Jong-Hoon Appear to be Pursuing Their Respective Passions Today
While it’s true that Hye-Jin is a professional model, she is also reportedly training to be a K-Pop idol as of writing, owing to her deep interest in the entertainment industry. She actually holds the title of Miss Korea 2020, so she definitely knows a thing or two about what it takes to be successful, and she appears determined to achieve her dreams. We should also mention that she is a travel enthusiast who just recently took a long, incredible trip to Australia. As for Jong-Hoon, the fitness enthusiast and restaurant owner is seemingly also dabbling in the modeling industry these days, which suits him well considering his charm and physique. Hence, it’s imperative to note that with him and Hye-Jin now hailing from the same industry, it’s likely they have only gotten closer as they at least continue to root for one another even today.
