A surprising past appearance of a Single’s Inferno 5 male contestant is gaining attention online.
Following the finale of Single’s Inferno 5, viewers began digging into the cast members’ histories. That’s when an old broadcast featuring Woo Sung Min resurfaced, revealing that he once worked at a pig farm as part of a reality experience program.
In a 2013 episode of an EBS youth experience show, a high school-aged Sung Min appeared under a different name while taking part in a hands-on farming experience. At the time, he introduced himself as a student preparing to become an actor and explained that appearing on television could help his future career.
During the program, he was assigned to assist at a pig farm, where he cleaned animal waste and organized sawdust. The physically demanding environment quickly took a toll on him, and he candidly admitted on camera that he felt overwhelmed by the smell and harsh conditions.
Viewers were amused by the contrast between that younger, visibly struggling version of Woo Sungmin and the composed, romantic image he showed on Single’s Inferno 5.
Clips from the old broadcast sparked playful reactions, especially since his co-star Kim Go Eun once described him on the dating show as seeming like a “paper human” due to his gentle and delicate vibe.
The resurfaced footage shows him looking exhausted and vulnerable, which only fueled the lighthearted comparisons.
On Single’s Inferno 5, he steadily expressed his feelings and ultimately became part of a final couple. While he introduced himself on the show as an optician, it has now been revealed that he also pursued acting in the past. As the popularity of Single’s Inferno 5 continues, fans are uncovering more unexpected chapters from the cast’s lives.
