When Kyuhyun asked whether there were any misunderstandings he wanted to clarify, Song Seung-il admitted he had seen many online comments claiming that the emotions on the show were fake.

He said acting in that environment would actually be difficult.

According to him, he tends to approach relationships cautiously and slowly, which may have made his actions appear distant on the show.

He also emphasized that he participated in “Single’s Inferno 5” sincerely and that his feelings during filming were real.

Kim Min Gee Previously Said Their Contact Faded

The issue became a topic of discussion after Kim Min Gee spoke about their relationship in the Netflix reunion episode.

She said that after filming ended, communication between them did not really continue.

According to Min Gee, it sometimes felt less like mutual contact and more like one-sided attempts.

She also described their relationship as difficult to define.

In one memorable remark, she said the person she liked seemed to still be stuck in “Inferno,” referencing the show’s setting.

Song Seung-il Says He Apologized

Song Seung-il addressed those comments carefully.

He said Kim Min Gee had always been very honest and sincere with him during the show.

However, when he later shared his confusion about their situation, it might have felt like a sudden break from her perspective.

Because of that, he said he felt sorry.

Song Seung-il revealed that he contacted Kim Min Gee privately after the show to apologize for what he described as his “immature behavior.”

Kyuhyun also mentioned that when he saw the two at a group gathering later, their relationship seemed comfortable.

Fans Are Still Divided

The situation has continued to spark debate among fans, especially on Kim Min Gee’s recent social media posts.

Many fans still support the pair and say they look good together.

One comment wrote that the two are “so cute together,” while another fan said Min Gee should simply live her life the way she wants and ignore negative comments.

Other supporters told her not to let people take advantage of her kindness and said they would continue to support her decisions no matter what.

However, not all reactions were positive.

Some viewers questioned Song Seung-il’s presence around her, with comments asking “What’s that ghosting guy doing here?” or expressing frustration about how the situation was handled.

When couples from the show appear to drift apart, viewers often revisit their storyline and debate what really happened.

In the case of Song Seung-il and Kim Min Gee, their emotional arc and age difference made their pairing one of the most memorable moments of the season.
