Choi Mina Sue has a unique name that is hard to forget. She said, "My parents were in Australia when they had me. They wanted to name me Mina, but my grandmother insisted that adding 'Sue' would help me grow up beautifully. So, the name Mina Sue was born." She added, "When we registered my name in South Korea, they used Chinese characters meaning ‘beautiful’ (美), ‘graceful’ (娜), and ‘outstanding’ (秀)."

Her life seemed to follow her name. In 2021, when she was in her early 20s, she competed in the Miss Korea pageant and won second place. The following year, she represented South Korea in the international beauty pageant Miss Earth and became the first Korean to ever win. After starring in a few dramas, she made a strong impression and gained recognition through 'Single's Inferno 5.'

She revealed that she had previously declined offers to appear in 'Single's Inferno 5,' saying, "I was shy about showing my personal side on a show about love. I also had a lot of concerns. But then I thought, 'I want to show more of the different sides of myself,' and finally found the courage to join."

-The panelists' reactions to your behavior (Hong Jinkyung saying 'Tone it down' and Lee Dahee saying 'You did that too') became a hot topic. Were you hurt by that?

▶I didn't look for them on purpose, but I came across clips of it on Shorts or news. I thought it was better not to watch because I already knew about it.

-Many people are curious about the behind-the-scenes of the 'Single's Inferno 5' wrap party, especially your meeting with Hong Jinkyung.

▶I wasn't hurt even if the panels said bad things about me. Of course, if I watched it every day and kept it in my head, it would hurt more, but the panels have to react honestly for the viewers to relate to the show. Even I thought I acted strangely at times. (Laughs) I think I deserved those comments. I'm actually grateful they wrapped things up well.

– The 'apology photo' you took with Hong Jinkyung also went viral.

▶Actually, that was my very first time going to a wrap party like that. While I was eating, Hong Jinkyung approached me brightly, apologized immediately, and suggested we take a photo together. I was so thankful that she handled it in such a cheerful way.

-Did Hong Jinkyung suggest the 'apology photo' concept?

▶Yes. At first, I worried, "What if I get more hate because of this photo?" Luckily, she was very professional, and I was very grateful. In fact, the panelists apologized to all the cast members. We felt more thankful than anything. It was a very warm and friendly meeting.

– Some people are calling you 'the second Dex.'

▶ Rather than being 'the second Dex,' I want to be 'the first Choi Mina Sue.' Not just me, but everyone has their own unique story. I want to show the side of me that only I can show.

-What are your plans for the future?

▶I want to do many different activities if I get the chance. I think there are many sides of me I haven't shown yet. I want to show a more grown version of myself. I only have three years left in my 20s, so I want to fill them up and create many shining moments.

-Do you have specific goals like acting, variety shows, or modeling?

▶ I’m still thinking about it. If opportunities come, I want to work hard at anything. I like standing in front of the camera and feel confident on stage. I want to try many things. Variety shows like 'SNL Korea' would be great, as well as YouTube web variety programs. I’d also like to share more of my daily life. I think I would really enjoy being an MC or acting.

– Do you have a role model?

▶ Rather than having one, I actually want to be someone who becomes a role model for others. I want to show a side of me that breaks old stereotypes. Even during Miss Korea, I worked very hard to break away from the polished image people expect. I want to continue showing myself taking on new challenges.

On the 14th, Netflix released 'Single's Inferno: Reunion,' where the cast members reunited about six months after filming. They watched footage from the show together and talked honestly about how their relationships and lives have changed since then.

The VCR shown that day featured a scene where Choi Mina Sue told Sunghun about her concerns. At the same time, she talked about her conflict with Mingee, saying that she felt she was being made into a 'bad person' for no reason. Choi Mina Sue said, "I was really nice to the girls. I event lent them my bikini and always tried to help. I felt like the girls were keeping their distance just because the person I liked showed interest in me."

In the footage, Choi Mina Sue said, "I think Mingee doesn't like it when Seungil talks to me." Watching this, Kim Mingee looked surprised and clarified, "No. I was just staying still. I think I was just a bit tired."

In the footage, Choi Mina Sue said, "If other girls talk to that guy, I just leave them alone," and Kim Mingee responded directly, "Mina-ya, you can't control your facial expressions either." When Choi Mina Sue added, "I was really nice to the girls. I even lent my bikini," Kim Mingee reacted, "That's me. She's talking about me. If you're going to talk like that, you didn't have to lend it to me."

Throughout the video, Choi Mina Sue appeared uneasy. Embarrassed by her own words, she said, "Wow, why did you include this footage? Did I actually say that?" She eventually admitted, "I have nothing to say. I was wrong." In response, Kim Mingee said, "I'll say 'no comment.' I'll talk to Mina about this matter separately later."

At one point, Choi Mina Sue even asked for a brief pause, saying, "Can I take a short break?"

Later, in an interview with the production team, Choi Mina Sue reflected, "I think I was arrogant and not humble. I tend to be very honest and there have been times when that caused friction with others. I felt embarrassed thinking that someone might have been hurt because of my actions."

Kim Mingee also shared, "The moment I saw that, I felt like nothing good would come out of my mouth if I spoke. I thought it would be better to hear an explanation from Mina separately later."

'Single's Inferno 5' PD: "We told Choi Mina Sure not to worry, we're sorry ... We did a full bow at the company dinner"

The production team of 'Single's Inferno 5' expressed their gratitude toward cast member Choi Mina Sue.

On the 13th, producers Kim Jaewon, Kim Junghyun, and Park Suji from the Netflix dating show 'Single's Inferno' did an interview at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

'Single's Inferno 5' is a bold and honest dating show where singles look for love on a remote island called 'Inferno' and can only leave by becoming a couple. Each season has generated significant buzz and this season was a massive hit, reaching No. 2 in Netflix's Global TOP 10 (Non-English TV category). On the final episode on the 10th, five couples were formed: Kim Mingee-Song Seungil, Choi Mina Sue-Lee Sunghun, Park Heesun-Lim Subeen, Lee Jooyoung-Kim Jaejin, and Kim Goeun-Woo Sungmin.

Above all, the PDs expressed special gratitude to Choi Mina Sue, who was the most-talked about cast member this season. Producer Kim Jaewon said, "I'm so happy that people felt this season was more sincere than any other seasons. Many say, 'It's all thanks to Choi Mina Sue,' and Iagree. A few days ago at a company dinner, I met Choi Mina Sue, thanked her sincerely, and even gave her a full formal bow to show my appreciation."

When asked about her reaction, Kim Jaewon said, "When I bowed, Choi Mina Sue shyly tried to bow back. Every time I meet her, I'm impressed by how polite and bright she is. She made a great first impression during her interview."

He continued, "After editing the show, we realized she has many different sides that are different from her first impression. She is very multidimensional. I don't think it's easy for people to show their different sides on TV. Most people only try to show their best side on camera. If most people only show one side of the moon, Choi Mina Sue makes you realize that the moon is actually a sphere. She is that kind of multidimensional character. Most people are somewhat contradictory and emotionally vulnerable at times, and we are very grateful and respectful that Choi Mina Sue showed those sides more honestly than anyone else in front of the camera."

Regarding some viewers who commented, "The editors must've had fun editing Choi Mina Sue's scenes," Park Suji PD laughed and said, "Honestly, it was enjoyable. On the island, it's hard to fully hear every conversation. Not to mention that Choi Mina Sue spoke in English a lot. So we didn't always know exactly what was being said, but when we heard the conversations in the editing room, it was very exciting."

She added, "I'm not saying this in a negative way, obviously... But Choi Mina Sue is a very fascinating person. Having the opportunity to witness someone who has so many different sides was the most interesting part for us. However, we didn't intentionally edit her in a way to make her look like the 'villain' character."

Kim Jaewon PD explained, "By the time you've filmed up to Season 5, you realize that everyone says or does something that could become controversial. I mean, if you record ordinary people 24 hours for 10 days, I think everyone, including myself, would have moments like that. Our only rule when it comes to editing is just one thing: to focus on the romance. In Choi Mina Sue's case, she has very diverse emotions when it comes to dating. Since we're a dating show, she may have been portrayed that way. However, the Choi Mina Sue we know personally is very social, friendly, adorable, and bright."

What was their first impression of Choi Mina Sue? Kim Junghyun PD said, "Since she had lived abroad, she was very expressive. We knew she would have good chemistry with the male cast members, but we didn't expect it to be this much. We could already see her character during our first meeting." Kim Jaewon PD added, "Our meetings are typically social interactions. But in private emotional exchanges, Choi Mina Sue was extremely interesting. She has many ironic elements. I felt she was a participant who showed her most 'dishonest' moments in the most 'honest' way, which is why people couldn't stop watching her."

Despite her popularity, Choi Mina Sue also received many malicious comments. Kim Jaewon PD said, "I talked to her on the phone often. She was very worried, so I told her, 'Don't worry, it will get better by week 3. So, you can check the internet then.' But even in week 3, the comments were still bad. So, at the company dinner, I told her, 'I'm sorry. I made a mistake. It'll get better by week 4.'" He added, "At the dinner, it seemed like her mental state had recovered. She thanked us now that she has gained many supportive fans. The other cast members also said they were grateful to her."

They also addressed the buzz about MC Hong Jinkyung appearing to bow apologetically to Choi Mina Sue at the recent company dinner. Park Suji PD said, "Since she had a lot to say about Choi Mina Sue, it seemed like she had already imagined the scene beforehand." Kim Jaewon PD added, "In reality, Hong Jinkyung hugged and apologized to Choi Mina Sue as soon as she arrived. Later, she even suggested to film something fun and lighthearted so viewers wouldn't misunderstand their relationship."

Finally, Kim Jaewon PD revealed that he plans to treat Choi Mina Sue a very expensive meal to thank her. He said, "I told her we should have a meal together. Maybe I should look into a really expensive, Michelin-star restaurant and pay out of my own pocket."

In response, Choi Mina Sue said, "I felt like the version of myself that I like best comes out when I'm with you, more than with anyone else. I can't imagine leaving this place with anyone else. Sam, thank you so much," She then chose Sunghun and the two became a final couple.

Yoon Hajeong, who starred in 'Single's Inferno 3,' pointed out 'Single's Inferno 5' contestant Choi Mina Sue for her indecisive behavior.

on the 8th, Yoon Hajeong reviewed episodes 8 to 10 of the Netflix's 'Single's Inferno 5' on her Youtube channel, 'Doldolha.' In these episodes, Choi Mina Sue went to Paradise with Song Seungil.

However, instead of focusing on Song Seugil, Choi Mina Sue seemed to be more worried about Lim Subeen, who went to Paradise with Park Hesun. When Choi Mina Sue kept looking down from the hotel at the outdoor pool where Lim Subeen and Park Heesun were, Yoon Hajeong grew irritated and said, "Ugh... Why does she keep looking?"

Choi Mina Sue, who went to Paradise for the first time with Lim Subeen, asked Song Seungil, "Doesn't your first trip to Paradise feel kinda like first love?" Hearing this, Yoon Hajeong expressed her frustration, saying, "Why does she keep putting so much meaning on the first trip to Paradise?" Later, when Choi Mina Sue said she wanted to go to the next Paradise with Samuel Lee, Yoon Hajeong resignedly commented, "I guess she just wants to go with everyone."

When Choi Mina Sue still couldn't make up her mind despite having long conversations, Song Seungil confessed his feelings, saying, "Do whatever you want. I just want to go back to Inferno quickly. I don't want to behere anymore." In response, Yoon Hajeong commented, "Song Seungil is probably thinking, 'Why did you even bring me here then?'" She added, "From what I can see, all the guys have already lost interest in her and left."

On the 7th, a video titled '(ENG) Thanks to Ms. Choi Mina Sue, it's very entertaining,' was posted on the Youtube channel 'Ailee's Newlywed Diary.'

In the video, Ailee watched episode 4 of the popular Netflix dating show 'Single's Inferno 5' while eating Chicken Knife-cut Noodle Soup that Choi Sihoon had cooked himself.

The couple couldn't hide their surprise when Choi Mina Sue showed interest in multiple men at the same time. Choi Sihoon cheered, "Thanks to Choi Mina Sue-ssi, this is really entertaining," while Ailee commented, "Some people's hearts just change quickly. Like the MCs said, she's very honest. I think she might have taken the questions very literally, with a Western mindset."

Later, when Choi Mina Sue was on her way to talk with Lim Subeen, but Song Seungil suddenly spoke to her, she drew a line with Lmim Subeen and said, "Let's talk later." The couple was left speechless by this rude behavior.

Ailee said, "I think Subeen must've felt very offended. This makes no sense. He probably felt disrespected," clicking her tongue in disapproval.

Choi Sihoon also reacted angrily, saying, "If it were me, I wouldn't even look at her there." Ailee added with a mix of disbelief and anger, saying, "I would've been very offended too. It's not just being offended, but deeply disappointed by her basic attitude and how she treats people."

Meanwhile, Choi Mina Sue has been drawing attention on 'Single's Inferno 5' for showing interest in four men at the same time and for acting in a way that crosses the line between honesty and rudeness. She was the runner-up for Miss Korea in 2021 and became the first Korean to win Miss Earth the following year in Manila, Philippines.

On the 5th, a video titled 'A beat late with Go Junhee | Making Dubai Chewy Cookies and reviewing Single's Inferno 5' was posted on Go Junhee's Youtube channel, 'Go Junhee GO.'

In this video, Go Junhee watched the popular Netflix dating show 'Single's Inferno 5' after making Dubai Chewy Cookies herself.

Speaking about her first impression of Choi Mina Sue, who stood out from her very first appearance, Go Junhee initially showed a positive reaction, saying, "She is popular with guys because she's bright. Because of this energy, guys have no choice but to like her. I think girls would like her too, not just guys."

However, as the episodes went on, her liking for Choi Mina Sue seem to be declining.

Especially after watching the 'Truth Game' in Episode 4, her reaction towards Choi Mina Sue turned into anger. Choi Mina Sue appeared to be showing behavior that looked like she was laying with the feelings of Song Seungil, Lim Subeen, and Samuel Lee, which sparked controversy and gained her the label of a 'villain.'

Go Junhee commented, "She picked a strange person as the person she wanted to go to Paradise with," and felt frustrated by Choi Mina Sue's remarks, saying, "Why does she say everything is okay? Is she trying to make them jealous? Isn't it strange to act like this unless it's on purpose? I feel drained just by watching this."

She also added, "Mina Sue is so toxic. She plays with people's feelings too much. What is she doing?" She continued, "Overall, I'm honestly kind of angry. This is different from other seasons of 'Single's Inferno' I've watched before. No one has ever made me this mad. I actually have a headache now. I wonder if I really need to watch something that stresses me out this much."

Previously, a friend of Choi Mina Sure shared a photo on Instagram on the 4th. The photo showed the back of a person believed to be Choi Mina Sue, crouching in a corner with her head down. The caption said, "She's currently reflecting on herselfㅠㅠ"

Another photo showed Choi Mina Sue sitting in front of the TV watching her own scenes, along with the caption, "Review from a real friend after watching Ep 1-4: What are you truly feeling?" This seems to be because of the mixed reactions from the public after the broadcast. Another friend also drew attention by writing, "The more I get to know her, the better and better she becomes. Please support her until the final episode."

Choi Mina Sue became the center of controversy after being labeled 'reed-like' because her feelings kept changing between multiple male contestants. She created tension in the show through her complex relationships with Hyunwoo, Samuel Lee, Seungil, and Subeen. In some scenes, her free-spirited behavior came across as rude, drawing criticism from viewers.

Choi Mina Sue was the runner-up for Miss Korea in 2021 and became the first Korean to win Miss Earth in 2022 held in Manila, Philippines. Before 'Single's Inferno 5,' she starred in the drama 'Law and the City' and 'DNA Lover.'

'Single's Inferno 5' Song Seungil calls out Choi Mina Sue's rude behavior, says "I want to go back to Inferno already" ... Netizens feel 'satisfied'

In the 8th episode of 'Single's Inferno 5,' Song Seungil called out Choi Mina Sue, giving viewers a satisfying moment.

Int he episode released on the 4th, the two chose each other and went to Paradise together. However, tension arose when Choi Mina Sue showed discomfort at the affectionate behavior of Park Heesun and Lim Subeen, who shared the same helicopter.

The awkward atmosphere continued during a coincidentally arranged double date at a bowling alley and later at dinner.

Specifically, when Lim Subeen said, "I'm going to swim tonight," Choi Mina Sue repeatedly rushed to the window as soon as they arrived at the hotel to check the pool. Seeing this, Hong Jinkyung burst out laughing and said, "Tone it down."

The most important moment happened during dinner at the hotel. Choi Mina Sue said, "I went to Paradise for the first time with Subeen. It felt like first love," and asked Seungil, "Don't you feel the same?" Song Seungil drew a clear line by saying, "Not really. I think who you go with is more important."

When Song Seungil asked, "Who do you want to go to Paradise with next?" Choi Mina Sue answered without hesitation, "Samuel." The studio was shocked and Lee Dahee couldn't hide her surprise, saying, "Wouldn't everyone expect her to say Subeen here?"

Song Seungil calmly asked back, "Are you just curious about Samuel or are you attracted? If you're doing it just to be nice, it might actually be bad for him. What feelings are you using to make your final choice?" Choi Mina Sue explained, "I'm not sure about my feelings, but he's on my mind. Even before the couple matching, Samuel said his feelings hadn't changed and that he was coming straight at me. How can I not want to get to know someone like that?"

Song Seungil tilted his head, "Do I have to get to know someone just because they're coming straight at me? I'd be too busy chasing my own feelings." Choi Mina Sue replied, "That makes sense. I'll keep that in mind," but soon emphasized again, "Still, I want to go to Paradise with Samuel next time."

The conversation got worse and worse. When Seungil said, "Do whatever you want," Choi Mina Sue snapped back, "I will do whatever I want. Don't tell me what to do." Seungil shot back by saying, "When did I ever tell you what to do?" and the atmosphere became very cold.

Finally, Seungil let out a drained smile and confessed, "I enjoyed spending time with you, but I want to go back to Inferno as soon as possible. This place is too stressful." Watching this, the MCs reacted, "The worst atmosphere ever," and "That was refreshing."

Right after the broadcast, viewers flooded social media with reactions such as, "Song Seungil was so refreshing," and "It's amazing how Choi Mina Sue makes someone miss Inferno while in Paradise." Attention is now focused on how the broken relationship will affect their final choices.

1. [+149][-4] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That guy is so satisfyingㅋㅋ

2. [+122][-5] I love how Mina Sure is so free-spirited, but it's too much. It's hard to accept in the Korean culture. Just watching her on the show is so exhausting already.

3. [+32][-6] When I see Choi Mina Sue, she reminds me of announcer Park Jiyoon.

4. [+9][-8] I think Choi Mina Sue is charming because she looks natural and doesn't have that 'plastic surgery look.' Personality aside, I have to admit that the show is fun because of herㅋㅋ

5. [+7][-0] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I really don't like the way she looks around to see people's reactions... That guy said the right thing. They came to Paradise together and she just rambled on about other guys the whole timeㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Hong Jinkyung eventually apologizes after telling Choi Mina Sue to 'tone it down': "I was called by the production time and given a lesson"

In the 8th episode of 'Single's Inferno 5' released on February 3, Song Seungil offered advice to Choi Mina Sue as she opened up about her concerns, saying, "I'm already busy enough pouring my energy into the person I like. Do I have to care for someone just because they're coming straight at me? That's probably how I'd feel." However, during the conversation, Choi Mina Sue joked, "Don't tell me what to do. I'll handle it myself." Hearing this, Song Seungil expressed stress and walked away.

Watching this, Lee Dahee commented, "It feels refreshing that Seungil expressed a little bit of what I wanted to say." Dex added, "Honestly, even we MCs have limits on what we can say. Since the person involved said it directly, it feels relieving for viewers, including us."

Hong Jinkyung shared, "Actually, we sometimes get called in by the production team during breaks. If they tell us, 'Your comments were a bit too harsh,' we get educated and then come back to speak more gently. Seungil played a big role there."

The panelists have acted as a 'voice for the viewers' by directly expressing what viewers might feel about the contestants' selfish attitudes or unexpected behavior. In particular, they made sharp remarks and cold advice towards Choi Mina Sure, like, "We can't defend her," "It's painful to watch," "Tone it down," and "When you're having a mental breakdown, you should know how to stay quiet."

Later, in the 9th episode, after Choi Mina Sue broke into tears after an emotional fight with Kim Minji over Song Seungil, Hong Jinkyung showed regret. She said, "I wonder how angry she must be because of us MCs. We talked about her a lot. I'm sorry Mina Sue," expressing her apology.

Meanwhile, Choi Mina Sue became a key figure this season after stirring conflict from early on by moving between 4 male contestants. Viewers are showing mixed opinions about her tendency to act solely on her immediate emotions.

Choi Mina Sue was the runner up for Miss Korea in 2021. In 2022, she became the first Korean to win 'Miss Earth,' one of the world's four major beauty pageants. She is reportedly currently studying at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the United Stats.

Choi Mina Sure previously appeared on the show 'Battle for Tenancy: Penthouse.' She has also pursued acting by starring in dramas such as 'Law and the City' and 'DNA Lover.'
