Producer Kim Jung-hyun, who directed the movie, said, "Season 5 has been confirmed, so I'm deeply moved."Last season was also loved, but season 4 was particularly popular among the 10s and 20s." Popular platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok received more explosive attention than Season 3, realizing the global box office success."
Producer Kim Jae-won also confirmed his interest in the program as his YouTube reaction video exceeded 1 million views and was also uploaded on a video of a surge in popularity"Netflix seems to have decided to produce season 5 quickly because it highly appreciated the response of season 4."
'Solo Hell' has been a hot topic every season for the cast's appearance and dramatic emotional lines. Producer Kim Jae-won said, "It is the identity of 'Hell in Hell' that the cast members are like ordinary people but have an 'easy visual'", adding, `We will focus on attracting attractive performers that are not easily seen around us in this season as well.'
As for the directing differences, "I tried to set the hell up more beautifully and artistically, and in heaven, I tried to create a date scene with realistic love sensibilities.", he explained.
Producer Park Soo-ji said, "It was regrettable that there was not enough time for the male and female cast members in Season 4." "In Season 5, we are thinking about strengthening interaction between the cast members so that the relationship can develop."," he said.

In particular, Hong Jin-kyung's pleasant response and Kyu-hyun's spokesperson for the cast in season 4 received a great response from viewers. Producer Kim said, `Thank you for raising the popularity of the program to the extent that MC Hong Jin-kyung created a meme that imitates even idols.'
There will be many people who want to appear in 'Solo Hell', what is the actual competition rate like. Producer Kim Jae-won said, `There are thousands of application documents for appearances, and there are more than 500 people in the first meeting alone. There are also hundreds of people who will hold the second meeting." In addition, "Voting is actively used in the process of selecting performers. It reflects the opinions of the production team and writers and also weighs the opinions of writers in their 20s."
Yuk Jun-seo, one of the most talked-about cast members in Season 4, has long been wanted by the production team. Producer Kim Jung-hyun said, `We contacted each other several times, but we only reached out in Season 4 and the appearance was made.'
Producer Kim Jae-won considered Yuk Jun-seo as a performer who fits the uninhabited environment well from the program planning stage"As I thought of Yuk Jun-seo and Fregia as hot cast members who could represent love programs in the plan, I was happy to cast him in Season 4."

Concerns about the reality show's core 'authenticity' also continued. Producer Kim Jae-won said, `The director cannot create excitement. "Everything is created by the chemistry and emotional lines of the cast," he said. "Viewers also notice at once whether the cast's emotions are sincere or not."
Then "The basic principle of the reality show seems to be 'Do Nothing'. Regardless of which direction it goes, if the production team intervenes, the credibility of the program decreases" and emphasizes that even if it's not the ending that viewers want, we have to take it naturally"
'Solo Hell' has been a global hit since season 1, becoming the longest-running Korean entertainment on Netflix. In response, producer Kim Jae-won responded, "'If possible, I want to make it forever.'"It is the most important to keep the sincerity as well as the appearance of the cast."
In addition, the needs of viewers of dating entertainment are constantly changing. In some ways, I want a dramatic development, but in some ways I want a reality show"It's my homework to balance this in season 5 as well."
Expectations are high on what attractive cast and stories will attract viewers in the new season of 'Solo Hell', which has become Netflix's representative love entertainment show.
