The ongoing season of the reality dating show Single's Inferno has triggered dramatic reactions from the audience, who have slammed the contestants for not showing camaraderie and chemistry with one another.

As Single's Inferno 4 wraps up its final episodes, Korean netizens have expressed disappointment with the series on social media.
Viewers on social media platform X have pointed out that previous seasons included interactions and relationship development between the memorable contestants.
Still, after this season, it seems as though many of these heartwarming elements are absent.
User @haoroar said, "Something that irked me was how we didn't really see any genuine bonds or friendships compared to the last seasons. You could feel the contestants' bitterness on the screen at times."

Viewer @beytsvt seemed to agree, writing, "None of the girls can put on a fake smile when another girl is talking about the fun date they had? The bitterness is tacky."

We need more moments of group bonding and friendship. This season was weird!!!
Many viewers' comments reiterate the idea that there is not enough female solidarity. Another user, @Joysaysnottoday, said, "The girls have no sisterhood. It's lame."
#SinglesInferno4 the lack of sisterhood between the girls. Sian seeing Junseo telling Youjin to shup up and you aint bother by it? Minseol/Sian both agreeing this mf is rude but still going after him. Haelin/Arin incapability to exchange one word bc of Dongho? Damn it sucks

User @Chickennoodlesoup noted that this season is "boring" amid the toxic and self-centered nature of the contestants.
I think the reason this season seems boring is bcoz of the contestants being self centered, boring and toxic. They all look the same and the men are being total red flags🚩#SinglesInferno4

Even though the show has received some criticism, some people have recognized authentic moments from some contestants.
User @ggminsii said, "This season lacked in so many ways, no one (other than theo and arin) really felt genuine."

Fans are calling this one of the worst seasons yet, and many hope that future seasons get back to the basics and focus more on building the natural friendships the show first started with.
