Choi Mina Sue, the star of the Netflix reality show “Single’s Inferno 5”, has officially kicked off her acting career after signing an exclusive contract with Korean agency CRB Entertainment.
According to Korean media reports, CRB Entertainment recently introduced Choi through its official social media channels, sharing new profile photos and behind-the-scenes pictures from a pictorial magazine that signal his full-scale entry into the entertainment industry.
As of February 19, major Korean portals have updated his profile to list CRB Entertainment as his management company, confirming the partnership and marking a new chapter in his post-reality career, according to Allkpop.
Choi gained widespread attention earlier this year with “Single’s Inferno 5,” where she drew strong reactions from viewers for her confident, outspoken attitude and emotionally complex choices in the dating show’s love triangles.
While some online commentators have criticized her as a “villain”, the label has only fueled further discussion around her, turning her into one of the most talked about contestants of the season and increasing her popularity at home and abroad.
Even before “Single’s Inferno 5,” Choi had already begun building a resume in front of the camera and on stage. She was crowned Miss Korea Sun (first runner-up) in 2021 and became the first Korean winner of the international Miss Earth pageant in 2022, a historic victory that increased her visibility across Asia.
After the success of the competition, she joined the Korean variety show “Battle for Tenancy: Penthouse” (also known as “Survival at Penthouse”) in 2022, finishing the competition in the top places.
Choi has also tried his hand at screenwriting work with brief but notable dramatic appearances, Maria Chiara reported.
She made a cameo in the romantic comedy “DNA Lover” in 2024 and later appeared in tvN’s weekend drama “Law and the City,” where she played a blind date with lead actor Lee Jong Suk, a scene that resurfaced online once “Single’s Inferno 5” began airing.
Korean profile sites also list cameos in other series, including “Melo Movie,” suggesting his interest in branching into acting even before signing with CRB Entertainment.
With its new agency under its belt, industry watchers expect CRB Entertainment to focus on developing Choi’s potential as an actress while capitalizing on her image as a global beauty queen and reality TV personality.
Fans are now waiting to see what her first official drama or movie role will be under the new management and whether she will be able to translate her interest in reality TV into a sustained acting career, as per Rolling Stone Philippines.
