Reality dating shows continue to dominate global entertainment, with hits like Single’s Hell gaining massive international attention. While these programs typically feature everyday participants, celebrities including actors and even some idols have occasionally joined, looking for love or more exposure.
Now, a surprising revelation from Jeon Somi has sparked a new discussion about idols potentially entering the dating show scene.
In a recent video uploaded to her YouTube channel, Somi shared a glimpse of her workout routine with her personal trainer. As they practiced together, the conversation took an unexpected turn when his coach brought it up viewers had compared Somi to Kim Min Gee, a contestant from Singles Hell 5.
This prompted Somi to remember a surprising moment from the past. She revealed it he had once received a random call from the production team of Single’s Hell.
Looking slightly embarrassed, Somi admitted as much he had actually gone a step further by secretly submitting an application for the show. According to his coach, Somi even used his coach’s phone number during the trial.
Somi explained that the question asked for photos, so she took photos at the gym and included them in her presentation. Although she ultimately didn’t appear on the show, the story entertained fans and quickly gained attention online.
Despite not being able to get into the program, Somi hasn’t completely ruled out the possibility. She mentioned it going on a dating show in the future isn’t totally out of the questionsaying it “it could happen”.
His unexpected confession left fans shocked and intrigued, raising the question of whether more active K-pop idols might consider entering the world of reality dating in the future.
