Better Late Than Single 2 contestant Jeong Seo Yoon has unexpectedly become the center of online discussion. She entered the show after realizing that she was aging, but remained single due to her longtime admiration for NCT DREAM‘s Jisung.

After viewers discovered that the 29-year-old has been a dedicated fan of the idol for years, social media quickly filled with jokes and half-serious accusations about her real reason for appearing on the dating show.
Some fans jokingly claimed that Seo Yoon joined the program to earn money to fund her fangirl lifestyle.
아 지성이 덕질자금 모으려고 나오신거 아니야?!?!?!?! 너무 귀여우시다 근데…. https://t.co/2A3oMwsIB3

Isn’t she just here to earn fangirling funds? She’s so cute though.

Some alleged that she aimed to become famous enough to eventually meet Jisung in person.

I think she truly came on the show for that reason.

Others praised her for doing a better job of promoting the group than their company itself.
그냥 지성이 샤라웃 하러 나오신거 아님?? https://t.co/dAyweHcIyj

Others pointed out that the jokes aren’t entirely far-fetched, as several dating show contestants have gone on to become influencers or celebrities who later interact with idols.
One of the most well-known examples is Transit Love 3‘s Kyu Min, who later became friends with NCT DREAM’s Chenle after Chenle publicly revealed that he had been a fan of the dating show.
That example led many netizens to joke that Seo Yoon’s “dream” isn’t actually impossible. Still, there is no evidence Seo Yoon joined Better Late Than Single 2 for any reason other than participating in the show, and the speculation has largely been shared in a lighthearted, joking manner rather than as a serious accusation.
For now, the unexpected connection between the dating show contestant and Jisung has simply become another viral topic among fans online. NCTzens fully support her journey in love!
