Mina Sue Choi entered Inferno after the initial contestants coupled up to go to Paradise. She captured the attention of many men on the island, especially Lee Sung-hun (Samuel), who bonds with her after they spoke English to each other.

So between the four men, who will Mina Sue choose?
Who does Mina Sue end up with in Single’s Inferno?
We won’t know for sure who Mina Sue will end up with until the finale, which airs on Feb. 10. However, she’s keeping her options open. “When someone tries to talk to me, I feel like I’m being the villain,” she told Sung-hun in a one-on-one in episode 5. “And honestly, I’ve been pretty kind to every person here.”
Amid being branded as a villain in the show and online, Mina Sue’s friends have defended her online. Mina Sue was crowned Miss Earth in 2022, and fellow Miss International Jasmine Selberg spoke highly of her friend. “I see how her role in Singles Inferno might have a bad look on her as a person,” she commented on one of Mina Sue’s Instagram posts. “It’s a show meant for entertainment. As in any entertainment show, each person in the cast receives a role. From everybody’s darling up until the antagonist, there’s everything in between.”
“The role which was given to her from the directors and editors does not represent her as a person,” she continued. “Don’t just shame people for the role they present on a show. It’s not real, and most certainly not that deep. What is real is the hurt that is created through online bullying.”
Other fans also defended Mina Sue’s intentions and found her behavior entertaining. “not sure why some people are easily triggered,” one fan wrote on X. “i love mina sue’s messy ass and i CAN love mingee too. this isnt about pitting two women against each other. i am a viewer who enjoy both. be calm”
Whether we’ll see Mina Sue exiting Inferno in hand with someone who connects with her, time will only tell.
