The Real Reason Why "Single's Inferno 2" Star Lee So E Chose Kim Han Bin For Her Paradise Date

Single’s Inferno 2 star Lee So E surprised a few people when she had the choice of any man to go to Paradise with…

For a long time, Lee So E had pursued Jo Yoong Jae, who only had feelings for Choi Seo Eun. Still, despite her sad feelings, she attempted to keep a positive attitude and befriended everyone in Inferno.

For Yoongjae to picked Nadine just to avoid picking Soe after she expressed her interest in him and he too said he was interested in her, is so foul. I wish he would just be more straightforward & not lead her on anymore 😔#SinglesInferno2 pic.twitter.com/04rerNAgWO

Yet, when a new man arrived, he surprised everyone, including her, when he chose her as his date for Paradise. Instant fan-favorite Kim Se Jun stole our hearts, but So E had stolen his, and we were all living for their chemistry.

Yet, shortly after they returned from their date, the women competed in Korean wrestling to win their choice of a Paradise date. Surprisingly, So E won first place.

Instantly, everyone wondered who So E would choose among the men. Even the panelists couldn’t agree. They were divided over whether she would stay focused on her first love, Yoong Jae.

The editors surely portrayed So E as conflicted herself. She consulted with Seo Eun even before deciding.

i love how seoeun gives the best advice for seo despite knowing the chance of soe choosing the man that she likes a.k.a yoongjae. she’s so wise & kind. seoeun my best girl🥺🥺🥺#SinglesInferno2 #SinglesInferno2Ep7 pic.twitter.com/hXWBdWPTrB

Most all viewers were praying that So E would not choose Yoong Jae, especially after all their awkward interactions… Like him choosing Lee Nadine so that he wouldn’t go to Paradise with So E.

Sure enough, So E relieved us all by not choosing Yoong Jae. Yet, she shocked some by choosing Kim Han Bin, with who she had never indicated she had a romantic interest.

Thank goodness! I'd rather her choose any guy except for Yoong Jae. And I'm glad it's Han Bin ❤❤❤

It seems Sejun knows her well already. He was right when he told the guys SoE will choose someone unexpected. #SinglesInferno2ep8 #SinglesInferno2 pic.twitter.com/u9n4ZAhKfb

Soe unexpectedly chose HanBin!!

Actually, the two were best friends in Inferno. While she liked Yoong Jae, he liked Seo Eun. Through this, they bonded over unreciprocated love.

“you really are the most important person to me on singles inferno.”

Hanbin and Soe's friendship is so precious 🥹 They started talking with each other a lot because the people they liked were into someone else. Hanbin said at least he had cooking to distract him, but not for Soe so he wanted to cheer her up. #SinglesInferno2 pic.twitter.com/oMlNuUVnXT

Even Han Bin confessed later while watching that he was shocked that she chose him. He had expected her to choose Yoong Jae.

Besides, some had hoped that So E would return to Paradise with Se Jun. Now, she has revealed the reason behind her decision.

So E admitted that, naturally, Yoong Jae was the first that came to mind after she won. But instead of thinking selfishly, she took into account everyone’s feelings.

I said I won’t pressure him, but I thought it’ll be nice to go there with him at least once. But I thought that wouldn’t be right.

Se Jun was the second man that came to mind. At the time, she wasn’t sure about her feelings, so she didn’t want to confuse him by picking him right after their first Paradise date.
