In 2021, Netflix debuted its first series of Korean dating programs, "Single's Inferno," which became a worldwide hit.

Four seasons later, Song Ji A continues to steal the hearts of viewers as one of the most beloved cast members in reality TV or a new type of reality TV, at least right now, with her bubbly personality and stand-out fashion.
Mystique Ji A attracted the glances of her castmates, but viewers worldwide could not resist her beauty.

As Season 1 unfolded, fans were drawn to Ji A, and her unique personality added intrigue. The impact of Ji A's stardom can be observed in how future seasons will be shaped.
Just as Ji A was given prime focus in Season 1, Lee Si An has been similarly positioned this season, with many of the men — including Durin and Dae copies of the Season 1 "beta male" archetype and also vying for her attention — and an apparent push as the "It girl" of the season for better or worse.

Nonetheless, many fans insist Ji A's charm cannot be duplicated.
One wrote, "Si An, Ji A, and the rest of the Single's Inferno cast, including Shin Seul Ki, are all different types of sexy." Another said, "Hearts are not a push-to-start car, and the 'It girl' thing is a narrative you can't force from the outset. It has to grow organically ['natch]."
During Season 4, a few fans have complained about specific couples getting biased screen time, as some think they were bordering on entertainment and were stopped in their tracks.
Ji-A was never the center of attention in Season 1, and that's okay because she quietly won her fan favorites status.

Sian couldn't compare to Jia and Seulki because Jia and SK weren't red flags and producers weren't trying to make main characters out of them, they were bright in themselves. It's that why s4 is so bad

They trying so hard to make another Jia or SK but they can't #Singleinferno4
This led to a long-time fan praising Song Ji A, saying: "Song Ji A was so fresh that viewers were never bored, even if the editing was not that strong. Just being there should have been a win for her."
Nah watching Jia playing these men is highkey entertaining. Stare into their souls and rip their hearts out. #SinglesInferno pic.twitter.com/tSsDoTa7Wi

While the franchise develops, Song Ji A remains a legendary figure as the show seems to struggle to dethrone the spell she cast on audiences watching Single's Inferno.
