It is common for reality shows to hide the identity of the contestants for surprise and to create curiosity. These contestants are called eternal singles or motae-solos because they have zero dating experience. When asked about the contestant, the producer, Won Seung-jae, adds, “If Season 1 was closer to an ‘educational program’ where viewers cheered for personal growth and smiled at endearing clumsiness, Season 2 has evolved into a real, high-stakes dating show.” Kim Noh-eun teases by saying, “While the male singles stole the spotlight last season, the women are completely holding their own this time around. Expect unfiltered, uninhibited moves from the female cast.” Let’s take a look at the contestants of Better Late Than Single season 1.
