The response to Netflix‘s hot entertainment show ‘Solo Hell 4’, which was released on the 14th, is extraordinary.

‘Solo Hell 4’, an honest and hot dating reality show for singles that takes place on a remote island, ‘Hell Island’, where only couples can leave. Episodes 1-4 released showed the more honest and bold solos’ straightforward approach and diverse charms, exploding ‘dopamine’.

From the confident Lee Si-an, to the bright and energetic Jung Yu-jin, to the lively yet straightforward Kim Min-seol, who stole the spotlight, Bae Ji-yeon with her unexpected charm, the chic and cool Kim Hye-jin, to Kim A-rin who is honest about her feelings, the female solos with unprecedented charms instantly captivated viewers.

The male solos also exploded with their diverse charms. From Kim Tae-hwan with his impressive straight-forward style to Kook Dong-ho who captivated viewers with his soft charm, reckless Jang Tae-oh, delicate and affectionate Kim Jung-soo, and quiet but strong flirting genius Yook Jun-seo, the solos who fight for love without hiding their emotions made viewers overly immersed.

In particular, the flirting war unique to ‘Solo Hell’ has also been upgraded. Since they had to choose a partner to go to heaven with based solely on first impressions, the solos‘ flirting to appeal to their charms added to the fun that couldn’t be taken away. The physical game has also been strengthened. The ‘Log Jumping Game’ where a snack date ticket is at stake also created thrills with risky skinship, while the emotional lines of the solos who care about the person they like exploded with excitement.

As the production team previously said with confidence, “It has the same fast pace as Season 3, and it’s filled with dopamine and excitement,” the five trips to heaven from the first week of release increased immersion with unprecedented tempo and development, and the truth game played with a campfire completely reversed the subtle love line atmosphere, increasing interest.

The confidence of PDs Kim Jae-won, Kim Jung-hyun, and Park Soo-ji that “The ‘Solo Hell’ series will be the most shocking in its history” paid off. In Episode 4, the unprecedented ‘Catfish Selection Competition’ in dating variety shows was revealed, causing dopamine to explode. The twist that only one of the three male catfish candidates can join, chosen by the female solos, shocked everyone fresh. It makes one wonder what kind of ripples of change the catfish, who was added in the middle, will bring to the love line that has begun to stir.

The over-immersive hosting by the 5 MCs Hong Jin-kyung, Lee Da-hee, Kyuhyun, Hanhae, and Dex, who added cheerful tiki-taka, doubled the empathy and fun. The MCs are gathering attention by watching the solos who are completely immersed in the world of solo hell and showing realistic reactions full of ‘real ten’.

Hong Jin-kyung, who predicted, “There are so many charming characters that you wonder if there were other characters this charming,” analyzed, “Yuk Jun-seo is like a pure man who only looks at one person and goes straight ahead,” raising expectations for the future love line.

Lee Da-hee predicted, “This season, there were a lot of solos who actively expressed their feelings, and it was impressive to see them boldly appeal their feelings to the end. It felt like watching a dynamic movie,” raising expectations.

Kyuhyun said, “Lee Si-an‘s charming point is his sincerity in his heart, and I was impressed by Jang Tae-oh’s serious, unexpected charm.”

Hanhae introduced, “Kim Jung-soo has the charm of being easygoing, not getting upset in any situation, and calmly considering others.” Dex said, “Bae Ji-yeon‘s tone and manner that comes from a healthy mind is charming,” making people anticipate the charms of the various solos even more.

Episodes 5 and 6 of ’Solo Hell 4‘ will be released worldwide on Netflix on the 21st (Tuesday).
