Single's Inferno Season 1 contestant Oh Jin Taek surprised fans when he emerged almost unrecognizable after his stunning transformation.

Jin Taek, who previously became a household name on the show due to his ruggedly handsome looks and charming personality, has posted pictures on Instagram revealing a drastic transformation.

Photos of the now clean-shaven heartthrob, looking considerably younger and more boyish, are creating a frenzy amongst fans and netizens.

The change was first seen when a TikTok video went viral with the new pictures, and a flurry of comments about how "different" he looked followed suit.

Fans shared on the post that they initially had difficulty recognizing Jin Taek, with some wondering whether it was actually him in the image.

Social media comments from fans read:

• "Who released this new Jin Taek?!!
• "I didn't even recognize him at first."

After the initial shock, Jin Taek posted more photos, as he started regressing his beard, clearly a relief for fans who preferred him sounding and looking like his original self.

This abrupt twist has drawn attention back to Oh Jin Taek and what he has been up to since appearing on "Single's Inferno," much to the delight of fans following him on social media for the latest updates.

Single's Inferno is a dating reality program that puts contestants on the task of finding romance while camping on a deserted island.

The show gained success as soon as it came out, and many of the Single's Inferno cast members became famous due to the show.
