In particular, netizens noticed Ji Yeon’s interactions with the rest of the cast and the “lack” of interest from the male contestants.
Korean men have such simple tastes that it was really painful to see how a beauty like this was overlooked by everyone, as if they really couldn’t handle the bad guys over there#SinglesInferno4 pic.twitter.com/YALbKKH9V0

On social media, netizens shared their belief that this was due to colorism.
Being “pale” is seen as a beauty standard in Korea, and netizens pointed out that Ji Yeon apparently didn’t fit that strict standard, even though she is beautiful. Netizens shared their anger that since Ji Yeon might not have looked the same as other contestants, she was not receiving the same attention and treatment.
It’s colorism. Every season they overlook women who aren’t pale. Fuck them #SinglesInferno4 https://t.co/agIjoWG17Z

@carzzm Because the same thing happened to Sejeong in season 2 uhm…she never went to heaven when she was beautiful and cute!! Korea is so weird with tanned skin… (she’s the only one who even has a jawline, I’m just saying 🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️) #singleinferno #singleinferno4 #singleinfernoseason4 #jiyeon #singleinfernonetflix # datingshow #datingshowkorea #netflixcorea #fyp #fyppp #foryou #foryoupage #xyzabc
