“Single’s Inferno” Couple Yoong Jae And Seo Eun Receive Criticism For Fanmeeting Announcement
Single’s Inferno 2‘s endgame couple gained strong popularity after the show concluded. The couple made of Yoong Jae and Seo Eun showed strong loyalty to each other through the 8 episodes, winning the hearts of audiences.
Due to their strong popularity, they decided to host a joint fan meeting in February 2022. Priced at ₩77,000 KRW (about $62.20 USD) for 80 minutes, they promised to spill the beans on more behind-the-scenes exclusives and more.
They began to receive huge flak for the announcement. A tweet about the fan meeting began to get ratioed severely as many were against it.

The price was one thing up for contention. As both are considered non-celebrities in the eyes of Koreans, they questioned the need for a fan meeting.
Arent’ they both just regular folks? Who would pay ₩77,000 KRW (about $62.20 USD) to see regular people act lovey-dovey? Are they doing this because people were responding positively to the free post on IG… It’s because it was free that people responded.

둘 다 그냥 일반인 아님?
일반인 꽁냥대는걸 77000원보고 누가 봄?
인스타에 올라오는 무료 게시글 반응 좋으니까 이런 거 하나… 무료니까 좋아하는거다 https://t.co/l5eMFNG3wc— 현 (@6ksjql2) January 19, 2023
Others were surprised to see that there was a demand for it.
I’m surprised to see there’s demand… They should just focus on dating quietly, why a fan meeting?

수요가 있다는게 신기할 뿐… 걍 조용히 연애에나 집중하지 뭔 팬미팅.. https://t.co/gz4L3KbKgU

Some were baffled at the fact that the couple were giving out autographs. As non-celebrities, it would be odd to have autographs.
Are they celebrities for them to be giving out autographs? I haven’t watched the show but was it so popular that they can do fan meetings? Are they on the level of celebrities?

Despite this, there are still ardent fans of the show who support the two’s relationship.
