Dex Kim Jin Young Shocks With Sudden Retirement Plans

In a recent YouTube video that started off with lighthearted hiking and sketching, Single’s Inferno Dex (also known as Kim Jin Young) stunned fans with a confession that no one saw coming: he’s already planning for retirement — and even has a bold backup career in mind.

On May 23, Kian84’s YouTube channel Life84 dropped a new video titled Kian84’s Art Hobby Club featuring actress Ji Ye Eun and fan-favorite Dex. What began as a casual outdoor hangout quickly turned into something far deeper — and unexpectedly emotional.

During a peaceful break mid-hike, as the trio sat down to sketch the landscape, Dex opened up about his current mindset and his evolving relationship with work.

“I’ve been working really hard lately, but the way I see work has changed. Back then, the sudden lifestyle change made every day feel like a struggle. I was probably the fastest burnout in history.”

In a moment that took viewers by surprise, Dex revealed he’s already preparing for life after the spotlight.

“Even if everything crashes tomorrow, I’ve got a plan. I’m preparing to become a firefighter. I needed a bold exit strategy to remind myself that this isn’t my whole life. That doesn’t mean I’m not giving my all — I’ll pour everything into this and leave with no regrets.”

Is this the beginning of a new chapter for Dex? Only time will tell.
