Single’s Inferno 5 Lee Sung Hun Controversy: Rising Star Deletes Socials Amid Claims

Is he the season's heartthrob or a red flag? Only a day after Single’s Inferno 5 premiered on January 20, 2026, cast member Lee Sung Hun (also known as Samuel Lee) has found himself at the center of a viral storm. What began as a promising debut quickly turned into a digital firestorm of infidelity allegations.

The Single’s Inferno 5 Lee Sung Hun Controversy Unfolds

Samuel Lee made his first appearance in Episode 2. He's a New York-based influencer who was already known to some as the former boyfriend of Hena Yang, a TikTok star with over 1 million followers. Following the show's launch, Reddit users and TikTokers began surfacing claims that Samuel had cheated on Hena during their relationship.

From Reddit Claims to Instagram Exit

The accusations didn't stop with his ex. An influencer named FlawlessKevin claimed she went on a date with him, while others posted screenshots of his Hinge profile. Though Samuel posted a statement denying all infidelity—calling the meetings "friendly dinners"—the backlash remained intense. On January 21, 2026, he officially deleted his Instagram account after a brief handle change.

As of now, the producers of Single’s Inferno haven't responded to the allegations. This incident marks one of the fastest social media exits for a contestant in the show's history, as fans continue to debate the validity of the "digital footprint" being shared online.
