The producer of Single’s Inferno has admitted that he doesn’t understand why the couples on the show don’t publicly date after the finale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kim Jae-won attended a Netflix press event prior to the reunion episodes releasing, where he explained that there are “real couples” following the show this season, but a lot of them aren’t willing to talk about their relationship publicly.<\/p>\n

He explained<\/a>: “There\u2019s a lot of talk that there aren\u2019t any \u2018real couples\u2019 from Single’s Inferno. But I want to be clear that, including this season, there actually are quite a few real couples.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kim went on to admit at being baffled as to why cast members wouldn’t date publicly, adding: “Honestly, I don\u2019t understand why people who come on a dating show would be reluctant to date openly.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also revealed that the production team had actually considered changing the cast members contracts to force them to publicly date if they left Single’s Inferno in a couple.<\/p>\n

However, legal advisors quickly shut that idea down as it would be against the cast members constitutional privacy rights.<\/p>\n

He explained: “We thought about putting a public dating clause in the contract, but the lawyers told us it would be unconstitutional due to the right to privacy, so we couldn\u2019t do it.”<\/p>\n

As such the producers focused on picking cast members who genuinely seemed to be happy to be open about their relationship status following the finale.<\/p>\n
