Yoong-jae had a fun date in Paradise with Seo-eun in ‘Single’s Inferno’ Season 2

One of the first couples to match and go to the luxurious resort was Yoong-jae and Seo-eun. There is no hiding that Yoong-jae has a big interest in her and their date in Paradise went incredibly well. They also revealed their professions in Single’s Inferno Season 2. Seo-eun is an artist, and Yoong-jae works for a security company analyzing financial assets. Even the hosts agreed they made a good match. But fans cannot forget So-e is also in the running to win his heart.

During the first selection for Paradise in Single’s Inferno Season 2, So-e was heartbroken when realizing Yoong-jae did not pick her. She has previously explained that she prefers quiet and kind men, similar to Yoong-jae. While they were in Paradise, So-e explains to Nadine and Se-jeong she knew Yoong-jae would pick Seo-eun. But fans feel her sadness when she also says maybe Yoong-jae was not attracted to her and wanted to know other people.

But Yoong-jae gave So-e a sliver of hope in Single’s Inferno Season 2 Episode 4. They have a talk in the men’s tent, and Yoong-jae asks if So-e is interested in getting to know him. So-e admits she does and has only been interested in one person from the start. Yoong-jae considers the information and admits he wants to get to know everyone until the final decision.

When So-e asks if he is interested in getting to know her, he also admits to wanting to. Could Yoong-jae have given So-e too much hope?

So-e realizes Yoong-jae did not choose her for Paradise for a reason in ‘Single’s Inferno’ Season 2

While Jin-young catches the eye of almost every female contestant on the island, So-e sticks to her guns with her feelings for Yoong-jae. But it leads to trouble and heartache when it is time for the women to make their choices for Paradise.

Three couples leave the island. Jin-young and Seul-ki, Dong-wook and Nadine, and Han-bin and Seo-eun. Fans and hosts believe Yoong-jae will choose So-e to go to Paradise after their conversation. But everyone is proven wrong. In a twist, he picks Nadine. The Single’s Inferno Season 2 hosts quickly realize he is avoiding So-e. Yoong-jae knew very well So-e chose him but picked Nadine to prevent going to Paradise with her.

So-e also realizes the truth and says, “I was abandoned. I even said all that…” Je-seong and So-e then visit Yoong-jae and Jong-woo, and it is clear that So-e knows why she was not picked. Later that night, So-e initiates a conversation with Yoong-jae and reveals her disappointment. She tells the truth and explains she gave off expectations by admitting her feelings to him and was upset.

So-e admits she realizes he has a different idea of dating while on Single’s Inferno Season 2. She respects his decision to want to know all the women, “But I just thought that it would be nice if I was a part of that, at least once,” said So-e. Audiences can feel her emotion when she reveals she had hoped Yoong-jae would also be curious to know her.

Did So-e change Yoong-jae’s mind about her?

Despite knowing that Yoong-jae likes Seo-eun and did not choose her, she admits she will stay true to who she is and her feelings. So-e is wearing her heart on her sleeve in Single’s Inferno Season 2. But did it change Yoong-jae’s mind? While he claims to want to get to know everyone, he chose not to pick So-e for Paradise, a prime opportunity.
