Lee Si-an Talks About Watching 'Single's Inferno' with Ex-Boyfriends, Holding Hands with Yuk Jun-seo

Model Lee Si-an, who made a splash on Netflix's Single's Inferno 4, has opened up about her experience on the show, revealing behind-the-scenes moments and honest stories that fans couldn’t get enough of.

In a recent appearance on MBC’s Radio Star, Lee Si-an joined fellow guests Woo Hee-jin, Hwang Dong-joo, and OHMYGIRL’s Mimi for an exciting special segment. She introduced herself by saying, “I was an idol trainee but now I’m a model. I became the most popular contestant on Single's Inferno 4 and dream of becoming the second Dex.”

Life Before Single's Inferno

She revealed that she had been an idol trainee for about six years, saying, “I used to have two or even three schedules a day. I even did a brand advertisement shoot in LA. Normally, we would’ve shot in Yangyang, but I flew in business class,” which grabbed everyone’s attention.

She added, “When I appeared on Produce 48, I was closest to Kwon Eun-bi. At that time, people said I was like Park Na-rae and Jang Do-yeon,” explaining, “I was more like Do-yeon sunbaenim (senior).”

Tough Filming Conditions and Body-Shaping Secrets

Lee Si-an shared the difficult conditions she faced while filming, saying, “The environment wasn’t great. I brought 40 to 50 outfits and had to do my own hair and makeup. Even though we filmed for ten days, I changed clothes up to three times a day.”

She also confessed, “I wore a bikini for the first time. Since I had to look my best, I collected various accessories and body-shaping tools to enhance my appearance. I used shaping devices to help me look more toned.” Lee Si-an didn’t shy away from being real about the preparations and sacrifices she made to fit the show’s glamorous image.

The Viral Bed Scene with Yuk Jun-seo

One of the most talked-about moments from Single's Inferno 4 was the bed scene between Lee Si-an and Yuk Jun-seo. She said, “Everyone kept asking what we did under the blanket. We just held hands and slept.” Lee Si-an continued, “People were upset and said it was too provocative, but my mother told me that if I received criticism, it meant the show was doing well.”

Mimi then asked, “Are you two really dating?” to which Lee Si-an replied, “We are more like close brother and sister.” She further explained, “We contact each other often, eat together, and are really close. We care for each other and get along really well.”
