Single’s Inferno S5: Fans Slam Jo I-Geon For Negging Kim Goeun. Here’s What It Means!

In the end, Kim Go Eun chose Woo Seung Min to leave the island with.

Single’s Inferno season 5 has ended, but fans are still talking about it a lot. Kim Go Eun and Jo I-Geon had amazing chemistry when they went to paradise together. Their date looked fun and full of sparks. But things changed quickly. Many viewers noticed I-Geon’s behavior and called it negging. This made people question his actions. Here’s a simple look at what happened.

Kim Go Eun got close to a few guys during the season. She talked and spent time with Shin Hyeon Woo, Woo Seung Min, and Jo I Geon, who joined later and changed the game. At first, her connection with I Geon looked strong, as they went to paradise together and showed great chemistry. Viewers loved watching them. But later, Jo I Geon kept mentioning another girl, Lee Ha Eun. He spoke about her and how nice she was, right in front of Go Eun. This made Go Eun seem uneasy and a little upset.

In the end, Go Eun chose Woo Seung Min to leave the island with. She picked him over I Geon and Hyeon Woo. The judges looked surprised by her decision. On reddit, people talked a lot about I Geon’s actions. They called it ‘negging’, which is a trick some people use when trying to date. It means giving a hidden insult or weak compliment to make the other person feel less confident or create jealousy. Fans thought Jo I Geon did this by bringing up Ha Eun so much. It seemed like he wanted Go Eun to feel unsure and try harder for him.
