About this episode

This episode explores the journey and impact of Kim Jin-Young from Singles Inferno 2.

In this episode, we're doing a deep dive on Dex, aka Kim Jin-Young, the man who walked onto the beach in Singles Inferno 2 and immediately dominated. We trace his journey from sleeping in a pool boiler room to graduating top of his class in Korea's elite UDT program, and how a Netflix reality show launched him into a full-blown entertainment career. We break down what makes him such a magnetic presence on screen, what he brings to the Singles Inferno panel, and his growing resume in acting, hosting, and beyond. Plus, we get into what we'd like to see for him the future. Shout out to Patreon Heather for the idea! Ready to download your first audiobook?
