Single’s Inferno 5 has the whole internet in a chokehold. The Netflix reality show features attractive people on an island (eloquently called Inferno), who must make their way to Paradise (off the island) with their lover. The participants, e.g., Choi Mina Sue, Lee Sung Hun, Lim Su Been, and Sung Seung Il, have become household names. In a recent development, netizens have begun speculating about the s*xuality of one of the “singles” from the show. Read more about it below.
Single’s Inferno 5: Why Is Sung Seung Il’s S*xuality In Focus?
With the sizzling chemistry becoming the talk of the town, people online are conjecturing about one participant’s dating preferences. Sung Seung Il, a fashion marketing professional, has been a talking point on Single’s Inferno 5. Known for his sassy demeanour and ecstatic fashion choices, netizens assume that he is attracted to men.
Additionally, some social media users conjecture that he entered the Netflix reality show to boost his modelling career. Others argue that his alleged attraction to males does not lessen Seung Il’s feelings towards women. After all, bis*xual people exist, they say.
Single’s Inferno 5: Is It Okay To Question A Celebrity’s Orientation?
Simple answer? No. More fleshed-out answer? No, never. You don’t know them personally. Reality shows of Single’s Inferno 5’s calibre propel a person to insane levels of popularity and fame. They expect that much. What they don’t expect is for viewers to start calling attention to their rejection of traditional masculinity.
People often headcannon characters as queer because they see themselves in these fictional entities. It becomes dangerous to try the same with real people. We can’t know what one identifies as unless that person has actually come out. Gone are the days when men would be unkempt and not take care of themselves. Grooming and fashion have become an add-on to finding a girlfriend. Especially in Korea, masculinity is visibly softer than in the Western world. How, then, can netizens still comment on Song Seung Il‘s s*xuality?
Whether or not one is part of the LGBTQ+ community should not be up for debate, ever. At most, they’re straight and have an unsubstantiated gay allegation. At worst, they are queer and get outed to society against their will. We can’t even imagine the pressure one would have to face as an outed celebrity.
