The new season of Netflix's 'Single's Inferno' is causing quite a drama with one cast member, Yuk Jun Seo, who is turning into the target of the fans' hate.
The show is currently airing its fourth season, and fans have been taking to social media to share their thoughts on the way Jun Seo treated fellow contestant Chung You Jin.
Jun Seo, a handsome artist and Navy Special Warfare Flotilla veteran, first intrigued viewers with his charm and air of secrecy. But as the season went on, opinions started to change.
As of Episode 4, plenty of viewers felt that Jun Seo's interactions with You Jin was off and that he should never have made a move toward her at all.
"I am a bit annoyed at how You Jin is being treated," tweeted user @cew_eyebrows. "The way Jun Seo is implying that she was fake during their initial meet is annoying me."
Another viewer, @fluffycloudsx, shared similar feelings, writing: "Jun Seo totally misunderstood You Jin... rubbed me the wrong way how quickly he dropped her and totally went about his way trying to avoid her."
Specifically, critics are worried about the burden You Jin must feel to put forth the effort to talk to Jun Seo when he returns from a date with a fellow contestant.
One user, @vahdjdhebd said: "Why is You Jin expected to make the first move towards Jun Seo? He's the one that came from paradise with another girl."

Why is youjin expected to make the first move towards junseo? He’s the one that came from paradise with another girl. Then afterwards sitting coldly next to her without making convo, I get why she felt awkward and talked to theo. #SinglesInfernoSeason4

Nevertheless, others believe that Jun Seo is supposed to be this season's version of the stand-out cast member from season one Dex (Kim Jin Young), who is direct and easy to like.
"I think Jun Seo thought he was gonna be like Dex this season," commented @justbecause022.
"I guess he must have been surprised when You Jin didn't fall at his feet like all the other girls before."
There are still six episodes left in the season, so it'll be interesting to see how Jun Seo deals with this criticism moving forward and whether he'll be able to win back the love of fans. As the story develops, it keeps the suspense on who will leave the island TOGETHER.
The drama of "Single's Inferno" is one that continues to garner interest from the public, and many are on the edge of their seats for what will happen next in the plot lines of this season.
