Single’s Inferno season 4 is impossible to discuss without mentioning Lee Si-an. The 25-year-old model immediately became a hot topic when her casting on the Netflix Korean reality show was announced, considering she already had international fans from her trainee days on idol survival shows like Idol School and Produce 48. From the moment she arrived in Inferno—looking angelic in a white dress as she traipsed along the deserted island—it was clear that she had main character energy. All she needed was the right admirers to choose from.
Speaking with Si-an over Zoom just over one week before the season 4 finale, I can understand why she quickly charmed the men of season 4. Her laugh is bubbly and her sincerity is captivating as she answers questions about her experience filming, which she describes as fun, if a bit emotionally exhausting. Throughout the season’s release, Si-an’s love quadrangle between herself and her three suitors—mature Kim Jeong-su, devoted Theo Jang, and rough-around-the-edges Yuk Jun-seo—has taken up a large chunk of airtime (which some viewers have criticized). But there's no doubt why the cameras couldn't stop rolling around Si-an and her romantic entanglements: She's a natural star.
