The show first gained global recognition when Single’s Inferno Season 1 became the first Korean variety show to enter Netflix’s Global Top 10 (Non-English TV Shows). Season 2 maintained its momentum, staying in the rankings for four consecutive weeks and amassing a total of 65.08 million viewing hours.
