Single's Inferno 5, Who Is Kim Go Eun's End Game After Hyeon Woo Rejects Paradise Date? Is It I-Geon

Single's Inferno Season 5 is headed to its much-awaited final week, with things getting heated up among the contestants. The fifth instalment of the hit South Korean reality will conclude on February 10, 2026. With just two more episodes to go, the show has reached its most interesting part, where gorgeous singles are facing betrayals, heartbreaks, and dilemmas about who their hearts lie with and whom they would choose as their final partner. The highlight of the latest episodes was the Paradise dates. Following that, reports regarding the final pairing of Kim Go Eun surfaced.

Why was Kim Go Eun's date the highlight of the penultimate week of Single's Inferno Season 5?

In the second-to-last week of Single's Inferno Season 5, Kim Go Eun stunned her Inferno mates and the panellists by choosing Shin Hyeon Woo for her Paradise date. That was partially unexpected, as she had previously shown strong chemistry with Jo I-Geon and Woo Sung Min. Previously, during the truth-or-dare game segment, Go Eun hinted that she wanted to try "someone new," which led her to choose Hyeon Woo. Their date in Paradise seemed like a successful venture, earning them much-needed quality time. It made Hyeon Woo even more certain that Go Eun was the one he was meant to be with.

Go Eun and Hyeon Woo's date became a central talking point because of its aftermath. Despite their Paradise trip, Hyeon Woo later shocked everyone by refusing to use his winning ticket for another Paradise date. The reason was that Jo I-Geon got to make the first choice because he won a game, and he chose Go Eun. Hyeon Woo, who came second in the game, stated that he didn't have anyone else in mind other than Go Eun and therefore would not want to go to Paradise with anyone else. His loyalty and decisiveness won over the fans, panellists, and fellow contestants, who called him "so cool".

Who will Kim Go Eun ultimately end up with? C-netz predict

Chinese netizens are actively predicting Kim Go Eun's endgame partner in Single's Inferno 5, and, according to reports, the particular fans have a track record of making accurate guesses most of the time. C-netz took to platforms like Xiaohongshu (Rednote) and claimed to provide spoilers regarding whom Go Eun ultimately chose. According to them, Go Eun will not pick Jo I-Geon, even though they showed natural chemistry on their Paradise date. I-Geon definitely seemed like a frontrunner at one point because even after arriving mid-season as a "game-changer" contestant, he was good at his game and left a strong impression on Go Eun and the viewers.

Many fans are shipping him and Go Eun, and Woo Sung Min, who seemed like her definite pick in the early episodes, have almost been sidelined. According to Chinese fans' prediction, despite the last date setback, Hyun Woo remains the top choice for Go Eun. After a slow-burning romance on the island of Inferno, the duo is speculated to leave together hand-in-hand and try getting to know each other outside of the show. If that happens for real, Hyun Woo and Go Eun shippers will be over the moon as they have been tagged as a genuine pair. Interestingly, her "ideal type", i.e., left-handed men, will be retained if she chooses Hyun Woo.
