[Master] Love is a game of survival.
[tense music playing]
[woman 1] You sure you can win?
[man 1] Are you kidding me?
[tense music playing]
- [whistle blows] - [woman 2] Oh, oh…
[man 3] I will give it my all.
[woman 3] I've gotta take this chance. If I do, will you?
[man 1] Hey, we're talking. This is rude. Come back in five minutes.
Wanna just go?
[man 4] That was so freaking annoying.
[Master] Love is a stimulating surge of dopamine.
[woman 1] Wait, hold on. Aren't you moving too fast?
- [man 2] Want me to bite you? - [woman 1] I imagined it. [laughs]
[man 4] Just you wait.
- [man 3] I can't think straight. - [woman 4 squeals]
[woman 1] I couldn't stop thinking about that massage.
[man 2] We forgot to bring our wedding invitations.
[woman 3] Do I fall too fast?
I don't want you to feel pressured, but I do want you to think about me.
[man 4] I'm a pretty piece of trash.
[Master] Love is all about perfect timing.
[man 1] Could've been different if we talked sooner.
[woman 5] Things never go my way.
[man 2] There's a gate-crasher here.
The tables might be turning.
[man 3] You must've had fun in Paradise.
[man 2] I was desperate to see you.
[woman 5] You can stay if you're curious.
- [man 5] I'm curious. - [woman 5] Then stay.
[Master] It's the place to explore your feelings.
[woman 1] My feelings have grown and it's confusing.
[man 5] I've caused a misunderstanding
and toyed with someone else's feelings.
[woman 3] You were shutting me out earlier.
- [man 1] She pushes me away. - [woman 1] In ten days, for real?
I just never would've imagined it, to be honest.
[Master] This is the hottest inferno in the world.
Single's Inferno.
SINGLE'S INFERNO
Ah…
We're back.
My heart is racing.
I feel this way every time we do this, still makes my heart race.
- I know, right? - [Hanhae] Something about this…
Single's Inferno became the most talked about show last year.
So I was wondering, "What will be the hot topic this season?"
Apparently, this season, the nights in Paradise were the hottest ever.
I'm a bit bothered by that bedroom scene.
- Weren't they in the same bed? - They were.
But it's about time Korea advanced a little.
- To some extent. - That's true.
About time we took one step further.
That's your idea of progress?
Do we really wanna be pioneers in that way?
[Hanhae] Well, you know, if possible…
We had a peek of what's to come,
but it seems like they're all very honest and expressive.
They're not trying to hide anything.
And since they're so expressive with their emotions,
I'm looking forward to seeing how this will factor into their interactions.

Hello, my name is Lee Si-an.
I admit that I've constantly been in relationships.
Currently, I don't have a boyfriend which is a very rare occasion,
so I applied hoping to experience a passionate kind of romance.
I want a whirlwind relationship that'll sweep me off my feet.
[chuckles]
I think my best features are my sharp cat-like eyes,
my kissable lips,
and, of course, my figure.
I was a competitive swimmer until the sixth grade.
And it's still my hobby even to this day.
I do think I'm naturally athletic.
I tend to go for anyone that catches my eye.
I've never had trouble developing connections into relationships before.
The kind of person I'd like to meet here
is someone who is tough and has a strong mentality.
Because he'll need to sweep me off my feet in order to really get me to like him.
[laughs]
[sighs]
Hmm.
[ambient music playing]
[gasps gently]
[ambient music continues]
My name is Chung You-jin.
I would say I get hit on quite often.
I even received six blind date offers
after attending a friend's wedding one time.
I swear I'm not kidding.
For my whole life, I've been told that I'm lovable, that I'm cute,
that I'm a little bubbly.
Someone even told me that I looked like I had heart emojis…
[pinging]
…that were just floating around me all the time.
My main hobby is free diving.
When I swim freely in the quiet waters,
I feel like I'm the Little Mermaid and I just absolutely love it.
When I'm around someone I'm interested in,
I tend to run my hand through my hair unconsciously.
Like this.
I speak in a cute way too.
Like, "Have you eaten yet?" [chuckles]
- [You-jin panting] - [Si-an] Hello.
Hello.
[ambient music playing]
[chuckles softly]
- Do I just sit anywhere? - Yeah. You can sit anywhere.
[both chuckle]
- You can see them sizing each other up. - You can't help but notice.
They're both beautiful but in different ways.
She's got a lovable demeanor.
[lively music playing]
My name is Kim Min-seol.
I kind of have a puppy face.
So I tend to get really affectionate, like, ruff, ruff,
when I become friends with someone.
I often hear that I'm sort of like a Maltese puppy
because I'm cute and lovable.
I'm going to win the games for sure.
I'm really competitive.
[laughs softly]
I might get all fired up during the games
if that's what it takes to seize the man I'm interested in.
I'll definitely be daring and direct.
Ruff, ruff.
[chuckling]
[You-jin giggles]
[laughs gently]
[chuckles softly] How pretty.
We're sitting apart.
Ah, you're right.
[ambient music playing]
Where are the men gonna sit?
This has definitely been the highlight today.
[tense music playing]
- [Min-seol] It's a woman. - [You-jin] Yeah.
- [Hanhae] Wait, a woman. - What?
- It's a female member. - A female again?
My name is Bae Ji-yeon.
I usually work out on a daily basis,
so I'm confident I have that hotness factor.
My main hobby is horseback riding.
It's such a refreshing feeling when I'm racing against the wind.
I really love it.
My type of guy is someone with a muscular build,
especially guys with broad shoulders.
I don't like to date guys who are constantly overthinking things.
I wonder why the men aren't coming.
Right, it's odd.
- Only two seats left. - [Ji-yeon] What's going on? Exactly.
[dramatic music playing]
[Min-seol] Someone's coming.
No way.
[chuckles]
Look at her face.
- [Hanhae] Her face. - [all laughing]
I love that. I love that.
My name is Kim Hye-jin.
Guys hit on me pretty frequently.
I have this many unread messages that have piled up.
I've been told that I can be very quirky sometimes.
Like, I will dance in the streets when I get too excited about something.
So people around me have often said that I'm a little unpredictable.
When I know I'm into someone,
I tend to stare at them without even meaning to.
They all fall for me when I do that.
Still no male contestants.
Oh, you're right.
[ambient music playing]
My name is Kim A-rin.
I decided to join Single's Inferno,
because I was hoping to meet like-minded people
who are attractive on the inside and also on the outside.
I think I'm charming because I'm full of surprises.
I often hear that I can come across to people as cold and even snobbish.
But once you get to know me, I'm really easygoing.
Since I was little, I've often been told that I was pretty.
And some men would occasionally tell me
that I'm the prettiest woman they've ever seen in their lives.
Gosh, this younger generation is really all about being candid, huh?
That's what this show's about.
- Hello. - [all] Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
[You-jin] The seat in the corner's all that's left.
Hello.
[suspenseful music playing]
I'm feeling bad vibes now.
- Ah! - [Kyuhyun] Just look at them.
- These contestants are the prettiest yet. - [Kyuhyun] That's true.
Personally,
I think all of these women are flawless when it comes to their appearances.
How did production find people like them?
I feel like 90 percent of the male contestants
are going to fall for Si-an at first sight.
I agree. Si-an is certainly very eye-catching.
But if you take a closer look, there's a cute wholesomeness underneath.
I think she's very charming.
But she did say she likes relationships on the wilder side.
- [Jin-kyung] That's true. - That scares me.
[laughs]
I think she'll go back and forth a lot with her decisions.
The way I see it, Si-an and Min-seol might actually end up
being the most popular ones.
As for Min-seol, she has a pretty smile that even I found it very memorable.
- She's got a lovable attitude. - Remember "ruff, ruff"?
Yes, but her cutesy demeanor makes her very likable.
As for You-jin, she's so bubbly and has a cheerful personality.
[Hanhae] She looks kind. That's what people find attractive.
Are we only meeting the female contestants today?
- What's going on? - That may be the case.
- It's hard to predict. - [Hanhae] Tell me about it.
Are they competing to go to Paradise?
[suspenseful music playing]
I think this is it. This is all of us.
It seems like it's just the women today.
What's going on?
[Ji-yeon] I wonder what this means.
[You-jin] I feel like we're just left here stranded on this island.
- Wait. [gasps] - [Hye-jin] What?
Whoa!
- [You-jin] Someone's coming. - What?
[Ji-yeon] A guy is coming.
[dramatic music playing]
Whoa!
Look at those veins.
- Her expression's different now. - They came alive. [chuckles]
But there are no empty seats.
There are no seats for him.
[Ji-yeon] You're right. What's going on?
[laughs]
- [A-rin] Do we say hello? - [all] Hello.
[dramatic music playing]
[intercom chiming]
- [chiming continue] - That scared me.
[Master] Hello, singles.
Ladies, please stand up from your seats.
[suspenseful music playing]
Starting now,
we will match the couples who will go on a date in Paradise.
Right now?
We will match the couples who will go on a date in Paradise.
Right now?
- Already? - [Jin-young] Right away?
That's crazy.
[Hanhae] Isn't this too soon?
The guys aren't even here yet.
- We're doing it now? - [A-rin] No way.
[Min-seol] At that moment, I swear I got goosebumps.
[Ji-yeon] Oh! Already?
We only saw him for, like, ten seconds.
[Master] First-place male contestant,
you may now choose the woman you'd like to take to Paradise.
[A-rin] Oh, gosh.
…you may now choose the woman you'd like to take to Paradise.
- "First place?" - [A-rin] Oh, gosh.
What? First place?
- I guess they've already competed. - That's why his muscles are all pumped?
'Cause he just fought.
He placed first in what? What did he win?
- [Si-an] Is he back? - [Ji-yeon] This is crazy.
[tense music playing]
WOMEN'S INFERNO
1 HOUR AGO
[Da-hee] They're showing what happened.
MEN'S INFERNO
- [Hanhae] Men's Inferno? - [Jin-kyung] Separate infernos.
[Jin-young] This place is looking gloomy already.
[ominous music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[upbeat music continues]
My name is Kim Te-hwan.
I'm full of self-love and I live with conviction.
I've been aware of my good looks ever since I was born.
People never stay angry at me
because they ease up when they see my face.
Come on.
[Hanhae] He's not that hot…
- Oh, please. - [Kyuhyun] He's not that handsome.
Sometimes when I look in the mirror,
I feel like I could get sucked into my own eyes.
I've given up on countless career paths
and prioritized romance over work.
I doubt someone here takes relationships more seriously than I do.
So he's been neglecting work?
[both laughing]
He's saying he's been neglecting work to focus on dating.
In other words, he's a genuine person.
[upbeat music playing]
My name is Kook Dong-ho.
If I had to choose my strongest features,
they would be my height and my big eyes.
People say that I can give off a cold first impression,
but my personality is rather sweet and tender.
[staff chuckles]
I'm sweet and expressive.
Oh, okay. After two seconds…
My personality's expressive and sweet.
- [staff laughs] - Oh…
Was I being too casual?
[all laughing]
- Oh, he's cute. - Always someone like him.
- He's pleasant, though. - Yeah, he is.
Dong-ho's left a strong impression on us for now.
I'm determined to approach the woman I like and make her my own.
[upbeat music playing]
My name is Jang Theo.
If I'm to describe my personality in one word,
a lot of people say I'm like a bulldozer.
I'm daring, straightforward, and I don't care what others think of me.
I'm not a calculating person and I never play hard to get.
My looks get pretty polarizing opinions.
I'm popular with those who prefer guys who look like bad boys.
But I'm pretty much neglected by women
who prefer their men to look innocent or have a pretty face.
[upbeat music playing]
Yo.
- Yo? - [Hanhae] Yo?
A man who introduces himself with "yo"?
It's the worst introduction ever.
Even hip-hop musicians don't say that anymore.
- Really? - "Yo."
It's illegal to start a conversation with "yo."
[all giggling]
[Hanhae] I didn't expect to hear that.
Yo.
[Theo] Yo.
- Hello. - [Theo] Hello.
Hello.
I'm Jang Theo.
- [Dong-ho] Jang Theo? - Jang Theo. Right.
[Te-hwan] I'm Kim Te-hwan.
- I'm Kook Dong-ho. - [Theo] Nice to meet you.
You're quite manly.
[laughs]
I went in giving a macho first impression
'cause I expected other muscular guys.
So I said, "Yo, 'sup?"
But as I said, "Yo",
they were so gentle with their hellos it caught me off guard.
So I just said, "Oh, hello."
As soon as I saw them.
I guess the next three will be the ladies?
[upbeat music playing]
My name is Kim Jeong-su.
I think my best feature is my deep voice which I'm told makes me seem trustworthy.
It's not something you can earn,
it's something you just have.
So I think it's my strongest feature.
I tend to be loyal and friendly only to those I like.
I'm docile like a retriever.
My kinds of relationships are the lovey-dovey ones.
But what if two more guys come?
I expected to see at least one woman.
I'm a little disappointed.
Someone's here.
[Te-hwan] I just saw someone pass by.
[ambient music playing]
What?
- Looks like it's a woman. - [Kyuhyun] Ah.
[upbeat music playing]
What?
Wait.
This guy's looking pretty manly.
[Hanhae] Wait, what?
- Isn't that Yuk? - It's Yuk!
- Isn't he famous? - [Kyuhyun] He is.
I'm Yuk Jun-seo.
I decided to participate
because I wanted to experience something different from my daily life.
I'm curious to see what kinds of bonds I can make with new people here.
I constantly work out and I'm a former UDT soldier,
so I'm confident with my physicality.
People say I look like I'd be popular.
But actually, I'm not popular.
I'm really not at all.
Unlike my stoic outer appearance,
some people have said that…
I'm rather adorable.
I've heard from other people that I'm cute.
And that my personality isn't as disciplined as they would expect
since they know that I was a soldier.
Honestly, I think that I'm like any other ordinary guy my age.
And I'm even…
How should I say this?
I'm actually a bit sloppy.
Those who like that side of me are ones who are calling me adorable.
Okay. [laughs]
He's a former UDT soldier. Do you know him, Jin-young?
Not personally. We were in different operating forces,
But he did serve his time while I was enlisted.
He already created a buzz through another reality show.
The Iron Squad.
- [Jin-young] Yeah. - [Da-hee] Oh.
[intercom chiming]
[Master] Hello, singles.
You are currently isolated here
in Men's Inferno.
We were right.
[Master] The female contestants are isolated in Women's Inferno.
How disappointing.
I was starting to get my hopes up.
[both laugh]
[Master] You are not allowed to reveal your job or age in Inferno.
INFERNO RULES PROFESSIONS AND AGES CANNOT BE REVEALED
Once you become a couple,
you get to escape and spend a night in Paradise.
Now…
the men will be competing in a game for a date in Paradise.
- Jumping right in. - Already?
Please gather by the swimming pool.
- [intercom chimes] - Darn it.
[sighs]
I was feeling a little bit disappointed.
Because I expected the first date in Paradise
to be based on first impressions.
I was confident that I could get the first date in Paradise.
Te-hwan seems to keep having unjustified views of himself.
Wait, I'm so curious.
Did any of the men capture your attention?
If you ask my opinion,
I'll be keeping an eye on Dong-ho, Theo, and Jeong-su.
Well, Dong-ho and Theo seem to have opposite appeals.
Dong-ho seems very docile, while Theo has a tougher demeanor.
He could even have a temper.
And of course, you know, Jeong-su is my type, so I--
- [Kyuhyun] Which one has the best look? - I feel like we'd click in so many ways.
[Jin-kyung] And he has a nice voice. He really does.
I think if Te-hwan manages to keep his mouth shut…
[all laughing]
If he doesn't speak, he might get chosen.
His looks are captivating enough.
[Da-hee] But if he talks just too much, then he'll probably lose his charm.
Te-hwan does have the best physique.
I agree with you.
Theo seemed pompous at first.
But the way he puffed up his chest and strutted around showing off his physique?
Might come off as adorable to some female contestants.
- He seems a little mischievous. - Uh-huh.
Jun-seo might be good at one-on-one dates.
[Kyuhyun] He's not the type who puts himself out there.
He's like those characters from romance comic books.
- He has the long hair. - Those princes who are always ill.
- Ill? - [Hanhae] Ill how?
- Those princes who are unwell… - But when he takes off his shirt…
- [Da-hee] It's a surprise. - [Jin-kyung] A twist.
BACK TO AFTER 1 HOUR
WOMEN'S INFERNO
Wait. Oh!
[Hye-jin] What is it?
[dramatic music playing]
- What? - It's Jun-seo.
[whistle blows]
[Dong-ho] He has such a long reach.
[Hanhae] Oh, gosh.
[Dong-ho] Wow. It's about reach versus power.
Whoa.
Dang it.
He's like a dark horse, isn't he?
- A dark horse. I could see that. - [Hanhae] A dark horse.
Whoa. [laughs]
[Kyuhyun] Look at his body.
[groans]
[Te-hwan] Wild.
[whistle blows]
- [gasps] - [Jin-young] Martial arts.
Exceptional.
Whoa.
[dramatic music playing]
- Hello. - [Min-seol] Hello.
[all] Hello.
[Si-an] What?
[mysterious music playing]
[Hye-jin] He's just standing.
I'm a little scared.
[all chuckle]
[Hye-jin] I am too.
[chuckles] He's scary.
[laughs]
He needs to smile a little.
It's like he's choosing a battle opponent.
[Master] First-place male contestant,
please select the woman you'd like to go to Paradise with.
- This is fun. - [Da-hee] I wonder who he'll choose.
[mysterious music playing]
[chuckling]
[Jun-seo] Sorry. Let me see.
[ambient music playing]
Smiling like that will draw his attention.
It'll be captivating, for sure.
[Kyuhyun] You-jin's smiling on purpose.
[Jun-seo] The sunlight…
Ah, sure.
Wait, she runs her hand through her hair, she just did that.
- It was a habit of hers. - [Jin-young] There it is.
[chuckles softly]
He's fallen for it. She's caught his attention.
- Has he? - Yeah, for sure.
[Jun-seo] The one on the left.
I choose her.
- On the left? - [Kyuhyun] The left?
- [Jin-kyung] Who's on the left? - Is it Si-an?
[Jun-seo] The one on the left.
The one on the left.
[giggles]
I choose her.
Thank you.
[chuckles]
[Jin-young] It's You-jin.
- [Da-hee] Those eyes… - Can't be helped.
- You have to smile a lot. - It creates a connection.
She keeps smiling.
[Master] First-place male contestant,
please take the hand of the woman you chose and head to Paradise.
- Shall we? - [You-jin giggles]
- They want us to hold hands. - Sure, go ahead.
[laughs]
- [Hye-jin] Going to Paradise right away. - [Min-seol] Amazing.
[light music playing]
Whoa.
[giggling]
[You-jin] So, sunlight was shining from my direction?
I guess so.
- Sorry. Yeah. - The sun was right behind me, so…
- [Jun-seo] I saw a halo behind you. - [You-jin giggling]
[chuckles] He's acting awkward.
I get why they call him adorable.
All I remember was his gaze
when he was just standing there looking at all of us for ages.
His scary gaze truly struck me.
But after he smiled once,
I sensed that he definitely had a softer side.
I have a question.
You-jin smiled as soon as he arrived, right?
- Is that some sort of flirting skill? - That's right.
There was nothing to smile about.
What's so funny about that? It's not funny.
[laughing]
She kept…
She kept on smiling.
- [Jin-kyung] That's a skill. - [Jin-young] He fell for it.
People like her have a nasty temper with their moms at home.
[wheezing]
- Wait. You don't know that. - It's a skill.
Right, there's no proof.
I'm the one who gets temperamental with my mom. Sorry, Mom.
Wow.
Maybe the runner-up will come too.
How many do you think will be here?
- Through third place? - [Ji-yeon] Up to third.
Yeah, up to third place.
[Ji-yeon] Someone's here.
[ambient music playing]
- Wait. - [Hanhae] He's tall.
- Dong-ho? - [Kyuhyun] Wait.
- Is it Jeong-su? - Jeong-su?
Isn't it Te-hwan?
[ambient music continues]
[chuckling]
Hello.
- Jeong-su. - [Hanhae] It's Jeong-su.
[Jin-young] His physique sets him apart.
Hello.
- [chuckles] Hello. - [all] Hello.
[all] Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - [Ji-yeon] Hello.
[Master] Second-place male contestant,
choose the woman you would like to take to Paradise.
[upbeat music playing]
Gosh, look at Ji-yeon.
- [Da-hee] They've gotta take charge. - They're all desperate now.
Hye-jin's sending lots of signals. Look.
- What? - [Hanhae] Si-an is too.
[Kyuhyun] It'll either be Hye-jin or Si-an.
Si-an's sending him signals now too. Who will it be?
I'd like to go with…
the second lady here.
[giggles softly]
[Jeong-su] …the second lady here.
[Master] The second-place male contestant
may now take the woman he chose to Paradise.
[laughs]
[Jeong-su] Shall we?
Yes, let's.
Gosh.
[Si-an] Oh, wow.
Did you guys play a game before we arrived?
Yeah. We went to a swimming pool.
- [gasps] You had to swim? - Yeah.
Oh!
[Si-an] But I think it's cool that you came in second place.
[Jeong-su] It felt pretty bad.
- I'll win first place next time. - [Si-an] Yeah?
[Jeong-su] It was just odd.
I just kept smiling.
[laughs softly]
I smiled as much as I could because I really wanted to go with him.
His face was exactly my type.
To be honest, I sent him signals like, "Let's go together."
And when he actually chose me, I was so glad that it worked.
[Master] The matching for today's Paradise couples is over.

How do you think the contestants feel about this?
Well, I don't think it was a very pleasant start for them.
And they had to choose someone in such a short time.
- Based on looks. - [Hanhae] Just on looks.
It's not necessarily a bad thing.
If people were close, they'd feel sorry making Paradise decisions
in front of each other.
Right now, they're strangers, I don't think they'll feel sorry at all.

[Jun-seo] It's so nice.
[You-jin] We can sleep in a comfortable place.
- Thank goodness. - [Jun-seo] Finally.
- All that effort was worth it. - [laughs]
- [You-jin] Thank you. - Yeah!
- Thank you for choosing me. - [Jun-seo] Pleasure's all mine.
[light music playing]
[Jun-seo gasps]
[You-jin] Wow. It looks so good!
We're finally eating together.
- Thanks to you. Let's enjoy the food. - No, it's thanks to you.
- Help yourself. - Okay.
Is this duck?
- Wait, maybe steak? - [You-jin] Isn't it just tenderloin?
I rarely come across dishes like this.
[laughs]
- Can't believe I called this duck. - Oh, gosh.
Your personality… It's really different from my first impression of you.
I was frowning because of the sun…
- [laughs] Right, sure. - [Jun-seo] Yeah.
Honestly, I felt a little awkward standing alone.
[You-jin] Yeah, you came alone.
It's a mixture of the heat, the sun, and feeling a little bit confused.
Mm-hmm.
[Jun-seo] But then…
we kept making eye contact.
- [You-jin] Right, we did. - So I chose you.
You flashed a smile every time our eyes met.
That really made an impression on me.
- [You-jin] Really? - Yeah.
[chuckles]
- I think I chose well. - [You-jin] Think so?
Thank you. [giggles]
[laughs softly]
So, how old are you?
- [Jun-seo] Me? - Yeah.
I'm 28.
- [You-jin] I see, hmm, you're 28. - Yeah.
- What about me? How old do you think? - You're probably younger.
[both laugh]
- But what would your guess be? - Twenty-five?
[laughs] Well, I'm actually 28 too.
- I was sure I was older. - [chuckles] Oh!
Yeah, I thought I'd be younger than you too.
- So it sounds like… - Yeah.
we're gonna be on a first-name basis.
I even imagined myself saying,
"I can drop the honorifics with you, right?"
But you're so calm and collected.
- You seem very mature. - [Jun-seo] True.
That's the reason I thought you must be older than me.
Now we know we're the same age, wouldn't it be better to talk casually?
Shall we speak casually? Sure.
Good. Thanks.
That'll probably change our whole dynamic.
[romantic music playing]
- What do you do? - Do for…
- I mean, for work. - [Jun-seo] What do I do?
- Like, what is your job? - Gosh.
Well, I draw for a living.
[You-jin] Mm…
[machine whirring]
[Jun-seo] I am an artist.
I have my own studio, and there,
I usually work on my pieces alone.
I'm always thinking about how to exhibit my artwork in unique ways.
There are many types of art.
Such as three-dimensional art, installation art, plastic art.
But I mostly focus on two-dimensional drawings.
I didn't study the arts.
Just been drawing for a long time. I draw what I want.
[funky music playing]
YUK JUN-SEO 28 YEARS OLD, ARTIST
I can see that. I can picture you drawing.
- I work very hard. - [You-jin] I'm sure.
- Mr. Yuk Jun-seo, the artist. - Yeah, I am.
- What you do for a living? - Take a guess.
[laughs]
Why do you make me guess every time?
I'm curious. I want to hear your guess based on your first impression.
Because you don't know anything about me yet.
Well, to be honest, I think you're an actress.
- An actress? - [Jun-seo] Yeah.
You should be an actress with those looks.
- That's such a nice compliment. - That's a compliment.
Actually, I… dance.
- You dance? - Yeah.
Wow.
[You-jin] I graduated from the dance department at Ewha Womans University.
And I'm currently studying for a master's degree.
My major at the university is Korean traditional dance.
The course is divided into traditional and contemporary styles.
And I do both of them.
I have also joined a dance company and I teach dance as well.
I teach students ranging from children to adults.
I love teaching all kinds of dance to a wide variety of age groups.
CHUNG YOU-JIN 28 YEARS OLD, DANCER
Wow. I never would've imagined.
- It's surprising, really? - Yeah.
- Well, we're both in the arts… - [Jun-seo] I know.
- I'm so glad we met. - Hmm.
I never have anything to say to business owners.
[both laugh]
I respect them so much.
- But I have nothing in common with them. - Nothing in common.
You know, when I first saw you,
you seemed like such a quiet person.
- I thought you'd be all, like, "Ah, okay." - Oh, really?
I expected you to be reserved like, "Well, yes. Right."
But you're so witty…
and even pretty adorable, if I'm being honest.
That's not true.
Your personality just took me by surprise.
And you look so pure when you smile.
- Let's say that I am. - [You-jin] I mean it.
[chuckles]
What're your hobbies?
- [Jun-seo] My hobbies? - Mm.
Looking at my niece's art.
[Jun-seo] One of the things I enjoy most.
But it's totally a one-sided kind of affection.
- One-sided? She doesn't appreciate it? - She kinda pushes me away a bit.
Why do women play games like that?
[Seo-jun] How am I supposed to play along?
- What do you think I should do? - [You-jin laughs]
- I just don't know. - Oh.
So you never play games with women?
- I don't understand that sort of thing. - [You-jin laughs]
No, not at all?
- You're so funny. - Where can I get some tips?
- Could I ask what type… - [laughs]
You're clearly straightforward. That's the sense I get.
- I meant to ask your type. - [You-jin] Mine?
I prefer… the straightforward type.
- [Seo-jun] You do? - Mm.
- Then I'll keep being me. - [You-jin laughs]
[chuckling]
[chuckles] He's cute.
Jun-seo has a tender side to him that's very unlike his appearance.
I think it's really charming.
- He's full of surprises. - [Jin-kyung] He is.
Even after asking her a question, he's too embarrassed to look in the eye.
He's too shy to come off as eloquent.
I expected him to be a man of few words, but he's conversing with her really well.
It might be 'cause they already have great rapport with each other.
They have things in common.
He's good at keeping the conversation going.
She brings up the right conversation topics.
- But it feels like… - [Jin-young] Like what?
He takes the lead. She keeps the vibes going.
PARADISE KIM JEONG-SU & LEE SI-AN
- [Jeong-su] Let's go. - [both laugh]
[both gasp excitedly] Wow.
- I'm hungry. - Let's hurry up and eat.
- It looks so good. - [Si-an] Delicious.
- Should we dig in? - [Jeong-su] We should.
To start, you want some pasta?
- Mm! - Or the salad…
Should we have that first?
- Let's start with pasta. - Good idea.
[gentle music playing]
- [Jeong-su] Let me get you more. - [Si-an] No…
- [Jeong-su] Want more? - Yes, please.
[both chuckle softly]
Okay.
[Jeong-su] You're keeping me busy.
- Bon appétit. - Enjoy.
[both giggling]
[Jeong-su] Mm…
Mm… [chuckles softly]
[moans softly]
Here you go.
- [sighs] - [chuckles]
- We're tired, huh? - We are.
So how old are you?
- Me? - Yeah.
- I'm 33. - [Si-an] Oh, really?
And how old are you?
You look younger.
- You look young. - Not true.
[laughs]
Me? How old do I look?
[playful music playing]
You present yourself with a mature demeanor, but…
I feel like you're young.
Ooh, I like that.
Maybe… 25?
You're a good guesser.
Thanks.
You can speak casually, by the way.
- Shall we talk casually? Or not? - [Si-an] Okay.
What do you do?
Guess that too.
[Jeong-su] Maybe…
- a news anchor or something? - [laughs]
- Am I wrong? - [Si-an] A news anchor?
No, I'm not.
A model?
- Correct. - [Jun-seo] You're a model?
[Si-an] I am a model.
[funky music playing]
[Si-an] Currently a commercial model for an athleisure brand.
I do various types of modeling like beauty brands,
lookbook shoots, and commercials.
LEE SI-AN 25 YEARS OLD, MODEL
It suits you.
And you, oppa?
Now you're using honorifics?
[chuckling]
I… I run a food and beverage business.
[gasps softly] Oh…
- Like coffee shops and bakeries. - [Si-an] Ah…
[Jeong-su] I run coffee shops.
I am currently running five shops, including those in Seongsu and Hannam.
We roast our own coffee beans here
and we are very passionate when it comes to coffee.
I also do hands-on work like staff and facility management
and menu development.
KIM JEONG-SU 33 YEARS OLD BAKERY CAFÉ OWNER
So, you're a business owner?
You are, that's cool!
- [Si-an] Very cool. - It's nothing.
How did you feel when I chose you?
[chuckles softly]
I was so excited.
- You were? - [Si-an] Yeah.
When I saw you approaching…
Well, my type is kind of like…
someone who has a kind face, kind of like a puppy.
- Oh, yeah? - [Si-an] It looked like you were smiling.
And that made a good first impression.
- I thought I was expressionless. - Not at all.
You looked you'd be so nice. You made a great first impression.
You must've seen the other girls who were standing there too.
They didn't… spark your interest?
[Jeong-su] I just saw this woman in a white dress.
She had the prettiest smile.
[gentle music playing]
- [Jeong-su] She smiled. - Oh, really?
- And… - [chuckles]
I only looked for a couple seconds.
Honestly. I just trusted my instinct and went for it.
[giggles softly]
I'm blushing. [giggles]
The conversation is flowing so naturally between these two.
- They're not even trying to force it. - It doesn't sound forced at all.
By the way, I couldn't see his face before because of his bangs.
But after having a closer look, I must say he's quite handsome.
[Kyuhyun] Yeah.
You were fond of him from the start.
- Really? - Someone you mentioned.
I think I was just more attracted to his voice back then.
You think he's got the looks too?
You can't get bored of a face like that.
Jeong-su has started to show his true self and his strengths.
So the women might really enjoy the time they get to spend with him.
I personally could tell that Si-an was very into him.
The most crucial question was when she asked him
about his first impressions of the other women.
Women don't get curious if they're not interested, right?
That's right.
When she asked, "What about the other women?"
That question really struck me.
I sense that too.
And Jeong-su seems rather collected. He's pretty calm.
PARADISE YUK JUN-SEO & CHUNG YOU-JIN
- [hums] - Wow.
- [You-jin] A private swimming pool. - [Jun-seo] Right? It feels private.
- [You-jin] Wait. It's warm! - [Jun-seo] I know!
This feels so great.
It's really nice.
[You-jin] I'm surprised, it's warmer than I expected.
What the… [chuckling]
You're dunking already?
- You're putting your head in? - Well, I was competing earlier today.
[You-jin] I see.
And I was already fully submerged at one point.
- [You-jin] Oh. - I couldn't see anything.
- Nothing at all. Gosh. - Wow, that's hilarious.
- [laughs] You did that? Seriously? - [Jun-seo] Yeah.
[breathing deeply]
[mellow music playing]
[chuckles softly]
[gasps]
You're just like Aquaman. [laughs]
You're so similar.
[giggles]
- [You-jin] Are you gonna swim? - Yeah, come on.
Let's swim.
He's like this stylish, handsome-looking servant.
[all laughing]
I don't get why we former soldiers are rough.
- "Former soldiers." - Why are we so unsophisticated?
Gosh, this feels so good.
[chuckling]
What's happening tomorrow?
[You-jin] I have no idea…
- It doesn't seem to be on your mind. - Tomorrow…
We might go back to Inferno to play a game.
Then someone else might get to come to Paradise.
Maybe.
I wonder what the game's gonna be?
[You-jin] I guess I'll have to fight this time.
I think the women will be competing tomorrow.
Makes sense.
I hope you do well so you can bring me here.
- Okay, sure. - [Jun-seo] I'm holding you to that.
[both laugh]
[You-jin] Stop. You're too funny.
I'm counting on you.
- Oh, you are. - Just playing.
This is fun.
Oh, that's where the leaves were falling from?
I've been wondering this whole time.
I had no idea they were falling from right above us.
It's kinda romantic.
How that leaf fell just now.
Like I'm swimming in sugar water.
- Sugar water? - It feels so sweet right now.
- So sweet. - [You-jin] Sweet?
- Is it? - [Jun-seo] Yeah. It's so sweet.
You're hilarious.
Let's come here again.
- [Jun-seo] Okay? - [laughs]
Next time.
- [Jeong-su] Champagne? - [Si-an] Sure.
PARADISE KIM JEONG-SU & LEE SI-AN
[Si-an] Let's enjoy.
- [Jeong-su] Why don't we pop this first? - Sounds good.
I'll try to keep it quiet.
Oh, I'm a little scared.
Will it make a sound?
- Will it be loud? - No.
[cork squeaking]
[playful music playing]
He might be good at this.
It's successful if it makes a fizzy sound.
[fizzes]
- How about that? - Just like that?
- I did well, huh? - Wow. You're good.
He did it so smoothly. He must've done this before.
- He's done it a lot. - How many has he opened?
- It's not an easy task. - He's experienced.
- [Si-an] Cheers. - [Jeong su] Cheers.
- To what? - I don't know.
What should we toast to?
To the first night in Paradise…
- Wait, did you drink? - No, not yet.
To the first night in Paradise.
Cheers.
[sighs] That's good.
- You like it? - [Si-an] It's delicious.
Don't you think we're a lot more comfortable now than earlier?
- [Jeong-su] We are. - Right?
- We finally built some connection. - [Si-an] Exactly.
Then we have to leave after one night.
- And you are? - [laughs]
- Strangers again. Like, "Hello." - But it will…
It'll feel a little weird in a good way
when I get to see you again with all the others.
Yeah.
I'll root for you to come in first place
and be the best because we built this connection.
That's a lot of weight on my shoulders…
[both laugh]
I'm already tired from carrying that bag earlier.
That's just how I feel.
[romantic music playing]
I'll try my best.
I have to say you looked really cool when you made that first appearance.
[romantic music continues]
You looked pretty too.
[laughs]
[Jeong-su clears throat] Gosh, I'm choking.
Some fries will help.
[romantic music continues]
This is fun.
[giggling]
[clears throat]
- [Jeong-su] Face masks? - [Si-an] Sure.
- You brought some? - [Jeong-su] Yeah.
- Can you help? - [Si-an] You want me to?
Sure. Give it to me.
It's too early.
[warm music playing]
Face me.
It fits perfectly.
Good job.
[chuckling]
- I don't think I'm good at this. - [Jeong-su] You don't?
[giggles]
Oh, geez.
- Are you doing this on purpose? - No.
To tease me.
Done.
[Si-an] All good?
Hold on.
- [Jeong-su] Good night. - [Si-an] Good night.
Perfect.
- Isn't it cold? - Hmm?
[Jeong-su] I'll turn the heat up.
Okay.
My legs are hanging off a bit, but it's okay.
- [Si-an] Just sleep on the bed. - No.
- You'll sleep better, though. - I like it here.
[gentle music playing]
- [Jeong-su sighs] - [Si-an laughs]
Isn't it uncomfortable? What if you fall in your sleep?
[Jeong-su] It's perfect here.
[Si-an] I mean…
There's so much space on the bed.
Look, your feet are hanging off.
- [Jeong-su] You asleep? - [Si-an] No.
[Jeong-su] It's our first night.
[Si-an] My first night in Paradise.
All thanks to you.
I mean it.
Oh! [sighs]
The tone of his voice, the way he's breathing…
Everything's…
- He's so calm. - He seems so at ease.
I'm sure he's feeling awkward, but he doesn't seem flustered at all.
Si-an seems to have completely fallen for Jeong-su.
She's already wrapped around his finger without her even realizing it.
- [Jin-young] I agree. - Yeah.
But she probably feels like she has to be careful
being with someone that smooth.
No, that's not it.
He doesn't even make you feel that he's experienced.
We can grasp that from here, but he's giving off a very genuine vibe
to the person he's with in that moment.
I've become a bit curious about Jeong-su.
His conversations with Si-an have a natural flow to them
and have been going very smoothly.
But I didn't sense any butterflies between them, or anything like that.
I could see it in Si-an.
But I wonder if Jeong-su would act different
in front of someone he really likes.
He might get awkward and clumsy around someone he's interested in.
That would be a pleasant surprise.
[Jin-kyung] Yeah.
But so far, his emotional state hasn't really changed at all
during their first night in Paradise.
So, I can't be sure yet if he has feelings for her or not.
Yeah. This is what men in their 30s are like now.
- Huh? - They're all just like him.
Aside from their good looks, they don't fall for people right away.
You never see them go, "I like you so much."
Or "I'm really into you."
They get to know their personality no matter how pretty they are.
Maybe he's calm at first and eventually becomes passionate.
I'm thinking that might be the case.
MEN'S INFERNO
[Theo] Clearly, this was cooked by a man.
[Dong-ho] This is so basic.
[playful music playing]
- There's guys there? - [Da-hee] You're right.
This is nothing like I imagined.
[Te-hwan laughs]
[Theo] I guess it's a guy's night.
[upbeat music playing]
- What? - [Da-hee] Oh?
- A woman. - Who's that?
[sighs]
Who is that?
- She's raiding them? - [Kyuhyun] Min-seol?
