The deleted free date scene reveals a deeper-than-expected relationship between Hee Sun and Su Been even before their first date on Paradise Island. Social media is buzzing with rumors that the couple isn’t just the “end game” couple from Single’s Inferno 5, but are actually dating after the show.

Amidst the rising popularity of the new stars Hee Sun and Su Been, Netflix released an unreleased clip of their free date on Hell Island.

The deleted scene offers a different perspective on the couple’s relationship even before their first pairing on Paradise Island. Lim Su Been actively leads the conversation, which lasts over four minutes. The “Song Joong Ki lookalike” teases and shows interest in his date’s profession and personality.

The moment Su Been called her “baby” or “baby Rice Cake” made viewers swoon. Meanwhile, the 2003-born beauty also skillfully and smoothly “played along” when Su Been correctly guessed that she had previously participated in Miss Korea.

The couple’s explosive chemistry quickly became a hot topic of discussion. Many viewers requested Netflix release more uncut clips of the pair. At the same time, fans spotted numerous clues raising suspicions that Hee Sun and Su Been not only successfully “paired up” at the end of the show but may also be dating in real life.

By the end of episode 10, week 3 of the show, Su Been had ended his ambiguous relationship with Mina Sue. This means the male model now only has one interest: Hee Sun – the beauty queen he just had a perfect and happy date with on Paradise Island.

Hee Sun then returned to Paradise Island with Sung Hun. The two “academic” students also had a fun date. However, the chances of them becoming a couple are considered low because they met late. Previously, Hee Sun spent most of her time getting to know Su Been, so a “plot twist” in D-DAY is unlikely.

The intimate moments and unusually close proximity between Hee Sun and Su Been during magazine photoshoots promoting the dating show caught the attention of couple fans.

At the time of the premiere of Singles Inferno 5, Hee Sun and Sung Bin both locked/hidden their personal Instagram accounts. Some speculated that this was a move to avoid revealing the current relationship status of the players. Everyday images, interactions, and comments between the cast were thought to potentially leak the final results of season 5.

The couple’s personal statements, released on their Netflix account, reveal a surprising similarity between the two players. Su Been stated that the most memorable thing she ever heard from someone of the opposite sex was, “You look like my ex-boyfriend.” This was Hee Sun’s response to the male model during the campfire night in episode 4. In the section for their preferred dating style, Su Been and Hee Sun gave similar answers.

Recently, a fashion blogger with nearly 40,000 Instagram followers, claiming to be an acquaintance of Su Been, posted a picture of himself “showing off his abs” alongside the male star of Single’s Inferno 5.

Notably, the last picture in the post is a moment from Su Been and Hee Sun’s date on Paradise Island, accompanied by the caption: “Su Been at 20 years old was even more innocent and naive. I’m still persistently holding onto the Su Been x Hee Sun pairing.”

Although there hasn’t been official confirmation from the couple, the continuous positive signals have made Hee Sun and Su Been the most anticipated “ship” at the moment.
