The model Kim Goeun, who was caught up in dating rumors with singer G-Dragon, along with 'athletics world Karina' Kim Minji, has already been suffering from participant spoilers for 'Solo Hell 5.'
On the 19th, a Netflix official stated to OSEN, "I cannot confirm anything regarding the casting of participants for 'Solo Hell 5,'" representing the official position. This is essentially an official statement to prevent pre-spoilers by asking viewers to confirm through the broadcast.
'Solo Hell' series is a dating reality show where singles must become couples to leave a remote island, Hell Island. It first started in 2021 and is currently gearing up for its fifth season. Notably, the 'Solo Hell' series is produced as a Netflix original entertainment series, attracting global viewers. Consequently, it has enjoyed great popularity, appearing in the global TV show Top 10 each season.
Above all, the series' driving force behind its popularity lies in the key players that have participated each season. From season one’s YouTuber Prijia, season two’s 'catfish man' Dex, season three's basketball player Lee Kwanhee, to season four's idol-turned-model Lee Shian, these individuals have gained intense love and rose to stardom. Hence, anticipation surged for the so-called 'hot girls' and 'hot guys' who will shine in 'Solo Hell 5.' Among them, the participation of track and field athlete Kim Minji and model Kim Goeun has been mentioned.
Although the production team has expressed a policy of "no confirmation," the fact that they have not denied the participation of Kim Minji and Kim Goeun has led to their participation in 'Solo Hell 5' being effectively received as 'acknowledged.' Moreover, since previous series of 'Solo Hell' often had popular members' participation leaked before the airing, expectations for their contributions have also risen.
Among them, Kim Goeun is a model who rose to fame as 'Miss' at the 66th Miss Korea contest in 2022, and she is also the daughter of former national soccer player Kim Hyunsoo. Last year, she stirred more buzz amidst dating rumors with singer G-Dragon. However, G-Dragon's side denied the rumors, stating it was just a "close brother-sister relationship."
Kim Minji is also attracting loud interest. As an athlete from the Hwaseong City Hall, he is known as 'athletics world Karina.' Last July, he confessed on the YouTube content 'No Back' that he rejected invitations for 'Solo Hell' and 'Physical: 100,' raising curiosity about whether he will join 'Solo Hell 5.'
