Here’s who has gained the most followers since Single’s Inferno season five kicked off
Really wasn't expecting the ranking to look like this!
Single’s Inferno season five had barely gotten going when the cast’s Instagram numbers started racking up faster than Olympic-level sprints.
If you’ve been wondering who’s actually converting screen time into followers and who’s quietly growing under the radar, the early stats from TikTok account Single’s Inferno Data are pretty telling.
The first three weeks after the premiere created a clear leaderboard, and it’s not just about who gets the most Paradise dates.
Shin Hyeon-woo – 12.7k
Hyeon-woo’s account has been harder to track for some people because it’s been kept private, which usually slows follow gains.
Still, he’s building a base off the show’s weekly hype.
Woo Sung-min – 73.9k

Sung-min’s growth is steady but on the smaller side in the first three weeks, very much a slow-burn-style following compared to the season’s breakout names.
Honestly? That can age well post-finale.
Ham Ye-jin – 122k

Ye-jin is picking up followers gradually, the kind of growth you see when viewers warm up to someone’s vibe over time… and then suddenly binge their feed.
Kim Jae-jin – 164k

Jae-jin’s follower growth sits in the middle-lower pack for the first three weeks, not tiny, not huge.
Very “cult fave loading,” especially with more screen time.
Youn Hyun-jae – 200k

Hyun-jae is climbing with a solid mid-tier surge.
His growth feels very edit-driven, once the fancams and TikToks hit, the followers follow.
Lee Ha-eun – 211k

Ha-eun’s in that early “people are discovering me” phase… consistent gains, but not one of the season’s biggest spikes yet.
If she gets a standout storyline later, expect this to jump.
Jo I-geon – 241k

Jo I-geon’s numbers are noticeably stronger than a lot of the previously mentioned stars in the group.
He’s got that new arrival, game-changer boost that often translates into quick follows.
Lee Joo-young – 288k

Joo-young is where the list starts getting spicy.
She’s clearly pulling ahead of the mid-pack, which tracks with how much audiences love a calm-but-captivating presence.
Choi Mina Sue – 363k

Mina Sue lands in the upper tier for early gains.
The combo of screen time and everyone having opinions is basically a follower-growth cheat code.
Kim Go-eun – 830k

Go-eun is a top-three magnet from the jump.
She’s been consistently high in the weekly gains tracking, which makes sense.
She’s central to multiple storylines and has serious it-girl energy.
Song Seung-il – 844k

Seung-il held the number one spot for weekly gains for about two and a half weeks after the premiere, that’s major.
He’s still right at the top overall, even after being overtaken.
Kim Min-gee – 1.3m

And the crown goes to Min-gee!
She’s reported as having the most combined Instagram gains across the first three weeks, overtaking Seung-il around early February.
