Even in a situation where the popularity of reality dating shows that were pouring out like mushrooms has waned, Netflix‘s ‘Solo Hell’, which stimulated the dating cells of viewers not only in Korea but also around the world, has confidently returned with Season 4. ‘Solo Hell 4’, which will be aired from the 14th, is confident of “the greatest fun and stimulation ever”, despite the increased fatigue of viewers from dating variety shows, armed with the bold skinship and thrilling plotting of the attractive cast.

‘Solo Hell’, which depicts single men and women gathered in Hell Island engaging in a subtle war of nerves to become a couple and go to Heaven Island, was the first Korean original variety show to enter the global (non-English) TV show top 10 chart since its first season aired in 2021, and last year, for season 3, it was ranked in the top 10 of the global TV show top 10 for 5 weeks, making it to the top 10 list in 31 countries.

PD Kim Jae-won is thrilled to be the first Korean original variety show to present a fourth season thanks to the global popularity of the previous season, and emphasized, “We will survive until season 10 and aim to become the longest-running dating program in Korea.” said.

PD Kim said the reason ‘Solo Hell’ is loved is because of the popular cast members such as Season 1’s Freezia (Song Ji-ah), Season 2‘s Dex, and Season 3’s Lee Gwan-hee, and he was confident that “another star will be born when this season ends.”The hosts Hong Jin-kyung, Lee Da-hee, Kyuhyun, and Hanhae also chose the more honest cast members than in previous seasons as the biggest charm of this season. Hong Jin-kyung was confident that “a star who will follow Dex has appeared”and said, “There is a cast member who is so interesting that you will wonder if there has ever been such an attractive character, so please look forward to it” and Lee Da-hee said, “In previous seasons, the cast members hid their emotions at the beginning and went on a mission to explore, but this season‘s cast members are bold and refreshing in expressing their emotions from the beginning. He said, “I wonder if this is okay.”

Dex, who has been an MC since Season 3 and is known for his “best output in Season 2,” also said, “I dare say that this season will be the most fun season ever,” and “This is the season that releases the highest amount of ’dopamine.‘ (All the contestants) are not coy or conceding. You just have to use all your weapons (for love) in the arena,” raising expectations even higher.
