Single’s Inferno 3 has wrapped up its third season, and the Web’s nonetheless fired up in regards to the Netflix relationship present that locations sizzling, single South Koreans on a secluded island to search out “The One”.
Whereas the highlight was typically on skilled basketball participant Lee Gwan-hee, it was fellow contestant Lee Jin-seok who captured our consideration for being an absolute inexperienced flag. The 31-year-old bakery-cafe proprietor turned each a decide and fan favorite for his candour, witty humour, and strong, dependable nature.
For all of the qualities listed above and extra, we’re breaking down the the reason why Lee Jin-seok makes for whole husband materials in our books. Completely sharing this with our single pals, and married ones too.
You understand, husbands can at all times do higher.
1. He set his thoughts on Ahn Min-young from the beginning, and stayed (principally) dedicated all through
The key phrase right here is “thoughts”, not “coronary heart”. Marriage is extra about dedication than love in case you ask us. And there’s nothing sexier than a person of conviction. Whereas Jin-seok was briefly desirous about newcomer Cho Min-ji, (after Min-young had expressed her curiosity in attending to know different guys), he finally caught to his weapons and selected Min-young on the finish of the present.
2. He didn’t play video games, or play arduous to get
Many contestants saved their potential love pursuits obscure or performed arduous to get, which makes for nice TV however not a lot in case you’re searching for a real-life associate. He was simple and made his determination clear to everybody within the present, not simply Min-young. No fudging, no dithering. There was little question in everybody’s minds who he was after. Having a life associate who’s a champ in expressing his emotions is half the battle gained.
3. He’s gracious and open-minded
When Min-young confessed her frustrations about everybody pairing them collectively (actually, we don’t see why that was a giant deal) and expressed her intent to talk with the opposite guys, Jin-seok accepted and acknowledged her POV with out query. Regardless of Min-young giving blended indicators, and showcasing passive-aggressiveness and guilt-tripping tendencies, he saved his cool whereas coping with her antics with out as soon as blowing up. We love a mature, secure man like that.
4. He reveals that platonic friendships are potential
Because the season progressed, Jin-seok struck up an sudden friendship with feminine contestant Yun Ha-jeong. He was a strong confidante to her, with the 2 seen partaking in conversations and supporting one another when their romantic pursuits have been occupied with others. And even then, by no means as soon as did he incite doubt in Min-young. That’s a uncommon trait to be cherished.
5. He’s additionally nice buddy materials
What else explains why he was that reliable man virtually everybody turned and listened to throughout their time at Inferno? This consists of his friendships with Ha-jeong and Choi Hye-seon, with even Yoo Si-eun turning to him for recommendation on approaching her love curiosity. In our opinion, it’s a blessing to have a husband who’s additionally your finest buddy.
Plus, Jin-seok isn’t just good with the women — he’s a man’s man, too. Let’s not overlook how Gwan-hee requested for Min-ji to go to Paradise with Jin-seok, as he was certain the latter can be sincere with him in regards to the date.
6. He is aware of methods to have enjoyable, and has an awesome sense of humour
We noticed this from the best way he teased Min-young after the tables have been turned in his favour (thanks Min-ji), whereas at all times preserving inside the strains. Even in the direction of the top, he avoided revealing his determination to Min-young, simply to go away her hanging (in an exhilarating manner).
It’s additionally plain that the person’s received comedic timing (or the assistance of Netflix’s enhancing whizzes), from his witty one-liners to hilarious feedback throughout tense moments. What can we are saying, humour is attractive.
7. He’s an assured man
How we love a person who’s true to himself and doesn’t see a have to pretend it or show something to others. Bear in mind how he gave up throughout the working race with such dignity? NGL, we have been dwelling for his spot-on, no-holds-barred remarks all through the present. #Fact. Actually, he deserves to be a commentator for Season 4.
8. He’s a hands-on boss
Within the present, Jin-seok shared that he owns three bakery-cafes in Daegu, South Korea, and does every part from administrative work to being a barista to cake adorning. It may not be strictly associated to relationship, however the truth that he cares sufficient to be concerned with varied facets of his enterprise will get a thumbs up from us. Plus, that might additionally translate to different elements of his life, together with his household, house and funds.
