“Single’s Inferno 5” Contestant Allegedly Has Familial Ties To Former South Korean President

It remains unconfirmed.

Rumors are spreading online rapidly that Lee Sung Hun, a contestant on Single’s Inferno 5, may be related to former South Korean president Lee Myung Bak.

The speculation first gained traction on online communities and social media, where users began dissecting Lee Sung Hun’s background following his rising popularity on the show. A post on X claimed that he is directly related to the former president. The post has hit over 4 million views.

F*ck, they said that a contestant on Single’s Inferno 5 is the nephew (maternal side) of Lee Myung Bak LOL. You can definitely see that he looks like his Excellency though.

Given his extremely wealthy and elite background, this rumor does not seem unfounded. Lee Sung Hun attended UC Berkeley, and is currently a quant trader in New York City. He’s worked in Amazon and Google as a software engineer before.

Many claimed that they could see the likeness.

Oh, it’s really his Excellency’s nephew? I thought they looked alike, but it seems like he’s the true nephew of Lee Myung Bak. I can’t believe he’s really his nephew…

Others even claimed they sounded similar.

Even their voices f*cking sound the same.

Despite the elite lineage, many Koreans dislike Lee Myung Bak for a mix of corruption, elitism, and policy failures.

As of now, no official confirmation or statement has been made by Lee Sung Hun, his representatives, or any related parties regarding the claim. Netflix and the production team of Single’s Inferno 5 have also remained silent on the matter.
