“Single’s Inferno 2” Kim Se Jun Might Have Actually Been Jealous Of Lee So E’s Relationship With Kim Han Bin
Spoiler Alert
Single’s Inferno 2 might have included some notable love triangles, such as Shin Seul Ki, Kim Jin Young, and Choi Jong Woo, as well as Jo Yoong Jae, Kim Han Bin, and Choi Seo Eun. But there’s an unexpected love triangle.
Until Kim Se Jun arrived, Lee So E only had eyes for Yoong Jae (or so we thought). During this time, she and Han Bin became close friends as they were both struggling with unreciprocated love. Ultimately, they realized that their respective crushes were a couple.
Despite So E and Han Bin being good friends, netizens believe that Se Jun was actually jealous of him.
Eagle-eyed viewers noticed a few things during the show that has many convinced Kim Se Jun, Lee So E, and Kim Han Bin are the real love triangle of Single’s Inferno 2!
You might have noticed that Se Jun continually looked over at So E and Han Bin, although he had been talking with other contestants in the moment. Part of the reason might have been that So E was borrowing Han Bin’s jacket.
We all know one of the solidifying moments for Se Jun and So E’s relationship was his lending her his jacket.
This is only one of many moments in that Se Jun might have been low-key jealous of Han Bin.
Although he was respectful of her choice to choose Han Bin for her second Paradise date, viewers noticed that he appeared sad when she left and clingier after she returned.
@thealchemyofsouls Sejun’s jealousy to Soe and Hanbin is actually so cute! 😍 #sejun #soe #singleinferno2 #leesoe #kimsejun
Yet, his “jealousy” toward Han Bin and So E’s relationship might have been from the start, and he might have had good reason. Single’s Inferno 2 fan @aesiya7 on Twitter developed a theory about the “love triangle,” starting from the very beginning when So E and Han Bin were two of the few contestants left in Inferno. In the unreleased scene, it appears So E and Han Bin might have been interested in more than one person, and it was each other.
sejeong next asks if they like inferno rn rather than paradise, hanbin puts his finger after soe, also notice how red his ears are but not jw! also he keeps stealing glances & sejeong notices! 😅 also notice hanbin’s face when soe didnt put her finger down! pic.twitter.com/ReXLi9VtRB

When So E won the “chicken fight,” Han Bin looked hopeful that she would choose him for the date. However, she chose Jong Woo and her crush Yoong Jae.
also in ep 1 when soe is gonna choose who to eat with b/c she won the chicken fight, hanbin looks over to see if maybe she’ll choose him & b/c she didn’t? maybe that’s why he was hesitant to show his feelings?! 😭😅❤️ pic.twitter.com/ZMzjGcCuII

It seems like since Han Bin went to Paradise with Seo Eun that he and So E then really decided to remain friends.
after hanbin went to paradise w/ soeun, his feelings deepened as she was his first choice. soe & him talked giving each other advice. he also helped her see what yj was too scared to tell her, I think this is where soe saw him as a friend rather than something more & vice-versa! pic.twitter.com/1ZkfhxmtOv

Then Se Jun arrived…
sejun comes in! we can see that soe doesn’t seem interested at first, then the cafeteria, soe was the only one helping him get settled & trying to make him feel comfortable also w/ minsu (sejun likes considerate people!) he also found her cute & would smile whenever she was there pic.twitter.com/9pGN5f1zTO

The “love triangle” really started the moment Se Jun showed up. When So E fell, and Han Bin rushed to help her, Se Jun was too late. After that, he became more and more attentive to her and continually told her that he worried about her falling, getting hurt, etc.
soe struggles w/ the cans & sejun is the only one who notices! he was contemplating helping b/c he missed when she fell but after seeing yj come by, he decided too so that yj wouldn’t! he didn’t even ask just went for it & said “be careful”, he even offered to drain the oil 😩❤️ pic.twitter.com/oMJAjLYYQM

It also seemed like during the cooking scene that Han Bin kept coming between Se Jun and So E, intentionally or not, much to Se Jun’s dismay.
this scene is so cute! u can see soe & sejun together, then soe leaves comes back so cutely 🥰 also we can see sejun’s smile once she reaches him!! 😭❤️ ( I saw someone say that he was looking at sejeong but he wasn’t, he was looking at soe’s steps 🥲 ) pic.twitter.com/4hinGL7w7k

When Se Jun and So E got to Paradise, they had a great time. Yet, some viewers noticed that Se Jun’s expression totally changed when Han Bin was mentioned.
so there’s another one I forgot about, thank u @_alwayssj for reminding me! ❤️ so sejun laughs when soe mentions that she thought she wasn’t gonna get to go to paradise but once she mentions hanbin his face goes 😐 and is serious, sejun really is jealous 😅🥰 but it’s cute! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/VNPbHJZ0dc

The next day, So E chose Han Bin to go to Paradise instead of Se Jun.
now we have when soe choose hanbin for paradise instead of yj or sejun! sejun was obviously relieved it wasn’t yj but was still jealous of hanbin! also hanbin said that soe wants to have some fun (is important for later!) but i love that sejun understood what soe meant by this!🥰 pic.twitter.com/8Dqgo68RHQ

During the Paradise date, Han Bin assured her he would cheer her up, make her feel good, etc. This is how he talked in his introduction about the girl he likes.
hanbin tries to make soe feel happy & good as he said he would to the girl he likes in the beginning!! 😅 also when sejun & the rest went to go eat sejun didn’t talk to anyone & the weather was gloomy even tho just before it was sunny (I hope someone understands this! 😂❤️) pic.twitter.com/A3JJaLeni4

Viewers also interpreted Han Bin’s expressions and some things said that he might still have feelings for So E.
omg a big thank u to @ayeshaanwar1121 & @mrbooquality for pointing this out! ❤️ when hb asks soe about her relationships & well hb tell her that he is good at relationship advice just not getting into one, & soe didn’t get the message! 😭 lmao poor hanbin! 😅 pic.twitter.com/m8sgEldEKW
— soe 💞 (@aesiya7) January 18, 2023
hanbin says we was worried for soe b/c he knows that she’s liked yj since the start & now she’s going to paradise w/ the new guy, which is sweet! 🥰 but did anyone see his facial expressions when soe was telling him that she had fun & didn’t think of yj around him! it’s fishy! 😅 pic.twitter.com/mOC6plDBEI

Han Bin had not only told So E that he would make sure she had fun. He even mentioned in front of Se Jun, “So E wants to have fun.”
omg thank u to @nadinesgirl for reminding about the “soe wants to have fun” comment! 😅❤️ but yes hanbin does say that in front of sejun then sejun proceeds go tell soe that the fun is w/ him!! lmao I can’t, he so jealous! 😂🥰🥰 pic.twitter.com/f8qm1gsKIF

After So E returns with Han Bin, Se Jun wears a similar shirt to the one that Han Bin wore the day he left to go to Paradise with her. Coincidence?
omg thank u to @wangyoungran ❤️ hanbin wears a button up black shirt with a lil neck showing on the day he went to paradise w/ soe & the next day he also wears a button up black shirt with a lil neck showing! 😅 sejun really topped everything hb did the day before lmao 😂❤️ pic.twitter.com/jDyK8InvSs

While everyone was invested in the wrestling match, especially between Jin Young and Jong Woo over Seul Ki, it appears someone was fighting over So E. Han Bin targeted Se Jun!
now we have boys wrestling! soe & hanbin just came back from paradise, he knows how she feels about sejun but then proceeds to try to get sejun out?! also yj too?! like if anything hanbin should’ve teamed up w/ sejun go get yj out for soeun? 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/IR7MaNbql7

It really looks like Se Jun was not the only one who found So E “cute.” Han Bin did too.
so soe almost cuts her finger while cutting potatoes so sejun takes over while giving her reassurance! 😭❤️ & then when they are about to eat, soe tells sejun, proudly, that the potatoes look so good! sejun finds her cute!! & can’t hold back his smile 🥰🥰 pic.twitter.com/qpLmYodj8Q

Even before the very last moment, Han Bin and So E appeared drawn together. There’s an unreleased scene where they talked, and Se Jun was off to the side watching. Although So E and Han Bin chose other people in the finale, they told each other that they were each other’s “most important person.”
ah, ok so we didn’t really get to see soe & sejun but at the fire pit soe was wearing sejun’s blazer! also what hanbin told soe was so heart fluttering but why say it to her instead of the girl he likes? 😅 also the hand holding like?? & then we have soe & sejun endgame!! 😭🥰❤️ pic.twitter.com/vSrAkhCWBE

Viewers continued to notice things since the finale. Han Bin and Se Jun interact the least of all the male contestants. They appear to avoid each other…
omg a big thank u to @mrbooquality for this! 😭❤️ but did anyone notice that in the group pictures, hanbin & sejun are never near each other? Also in the group picture hanbin is near soe & sejun holds her really close?? Also in the last pic sejun doesn’t smile 🤔😅 pic.twitter.com/DH879ZqNSL

What do you think about the So E, Han Bin, and Se Jun love triangle theory?
