"Single's Inferno" came back with a second season and all new contestants. Once again, beautiful young men and women looking for love got the attention of people all over the world.

Jo Yoong Jae and Choi Seo Eun, two contestants, were able to find love in the end and chose each other as their final choice.

But after being criticized, two contestants who were liked by viewers posted apologies. People didn't like how the two contestants chose to charge a lot of money for tickets to a fan event.

On January 19, Jo Yoong Jae apologized on Instagram, writing, "I paid close attention to what everyone said. As I looked at the corrections you left, I thought a lot about myself. I agreed to do the event to show my appreciation to all of you who cared about me and helped me a lot, but I wasn't being kind. I hadn't given it enough thought."

He then said that he would be canceling the fan meeting event that the agency had planned, and he explained that he would be planning another event on his own dime.

In the end, he said, "It hurts my feelings to think that the people who help us must have been upset by what happened. I just wanted to have time to hang out with the people who care about us and make good memories with them. I will use what happened to me to learn to be more careful and wise."

Jo Yoong Jae and Choi Seo Eun, on the other hand, said that they will meet with fans for free for 80 minutes on February 11 at a performance hall in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

But the two contestants got into trouble when it came out that they were selling tickets to a fan meeting for 77,000 KRW (about 64.47 USD).

Many people on the Internet said bad things about them and compared their fan meeting ticket prices to those of famous people.

Choi Seo Eun also apologized through her Instagram account.

Dex recently had a fun and lighthearted chat with IVE's Jang Wonyoung, who is nine years younger than him, during an episode of Dex's Fridge Interview.

On January 16, the YouTube channel 117 uploaded the episode titled "Everything About Wonyoung From the Stars," featuring Jang Wonyoung as the special guest. The two shared laughs and talked openly in a cheerful atmosphere.

As soon as Jang Wonyoung entered the studio, Dex couldn’t hide his excitement, saying, "It felt like a strawberry was walking toward me."

He continued with sweet compliments, adding, "Even though it's winter, the energy Wonyoung brings feels like spring."

Dex went on to reveal, "Someone I know told me, ‘Jang Wonyoung is different,’ and now I understand. You’re truly extraordinary.”

The two guests, born in different generations (Dex in 1995 and Jang Wonyoung in 2002), joked about their age gap. When Dex mentioned the generational differences, Wonyoung reassured him, saying, “I actually like making friends with older people, like older sisters or people older than me.”

Taking a bold turn, Dex jokingly asked, “What’s the age limit for dating up?” Wonyoung, staying composed, laughed and said, “That’s such a funny question.” Dex, clearly amused, admitted, “I was hoping you’d be flustered, but you’re not fazed at all!”

Dex also revealed that he put extra effort into his appearance for the episode. “I tried to look as young as possible today, so I wore glasses,” he confessed.

Wonyoung playfully complimented him, saying, “They suit you well.” Blushing, Dex replied with a big smile, “Really?”

Meanwhile, IVE is gearing up for their official comeback. On January 13, they pre-released "Rebel Heart," the title track from their third EP, IVE EMPATHY. Fans can look forward to the full album release on February 3!
