Where is the 'hell of being single'?

Season 5 of Single's Inferno not only garnered attention for its dramatic dating storylines but also piqued viewers' curiosity about the filming locations in Incheon, Seoul's air gateway.

The uninhabited, privately owned island of Saseungbong-do was chosen as the setting for the "Inferno" segment in Single's Inferno 5.

Released on January 20th, Single's Inferno 5 continues to take single players to an isolated island where they must adapt to minimalist living conditions before having the chance to enjoy luxurious dates.

The main setting for the "Inferno" segment takes place on Saseungbong-do Island , an uninhabited private island in Ongjin County, about an hour's drive from downtown Incheon, South Korea. This area is known for its system of small islands, wide tidal flats, and pristine coastal landscapes, making it a popular choice for Koreans seeking ecotourism .

Saseungbong-do boasts white sand beaches, clear waters, and a distinctive rugged terrain. With no permanent residents, it offers a completely isolated feel from urban life. According to Travel + Leisure, it has also been featured in popular Korean reality shows such as 2 Days & 1 Night and Running Man .

Conversely, the "Paradise" section is located at INSPIRE Entertainment Resort on Yeongjongdo Island , a modern area near Incheon International Airport.

While Saseungbong-do represents pristine nature, Yeongjongdo reflects Incheon's new urban and resort landscape, featuring large-scale tourism and entertainment infrastructure.

The resort boasts an impressive 5-star hotel spread across three towers, the 15,000-seat INSPIRE Arena multi-purpose arena, and the indoor water park Splash Bay under a glass dome. The complex also includes the Aurora and Rotunda light shows, Discovery Park amusement park, INSPIRE Mall shopping center, and South Korea's largest casino for foreigners. From here, it's only about a 15-minute drive to the airport or an hour's drive to downtown Seoul.

The opening episodes of season 5 captivated viewers with a lineup of contestants who possessed strong personalities and striking appearances. The settings were grand, both romantic and luxurious.

Beyond its on-screen settings, Incheon is also appealing due to its blend of nature, culture, and history. Grand Incheon Park, spanning 727 hectares and nestled between Mount Gwanmosan and Sangasan, serves as the city's "green lung," featuring a zoo and botanical garden.

In Songwol-dong, Fairy Tale Village impresses visitors with its 3D murals depicting stories like Alice in Wonderland or Snow White , creating a colorful space for tourists to take photos.

Meanwhile, Chojijin Fortress on Ganghwa Island evokes the history of Joseon-era defense, having served as a frontline against 19th-century invasions. The 5.6-kilometer Yeongjongdo coastal bike path offers expansive ocean views from Wolmido Island to Incheondaegyo Bridge, showcasing a modern Incheon that is also connected to the sea.
