Netflix dropped episodes 4 to 6 of Better Late Than Single on July 15, 2025, and this week, attention turned to Jeong-mok for how he treats the women around him. From the start, he’s stayed committed to Yi Do, even as Min-hong and Yeo-myung showed interest in him.
In episode 4 of Better Late Than Single, when Jeong-mok was matched with Min-hong for a one-on-one outing, he first asked her if he should keep his glasses on, checking in with her opinion before heading out.
During the date, Jeong-mok was seen carrying her purse and gently holding her hand. Later, on his long-awaited bowling date with Yi Do, he noticed she was sitting in direct sunlight in the car and kept checking if the AC was reaching her. On the lanes, when Yi Do struggled to hit her shots, he kept cheering her on.

What is Netflix's Better Late Than Single about?
On July 8, Netflix premiered a new Korean reality show, Better Late Than Single, following nine adults who’ve never been in a relationship. They are called motae-solo in Korean, meaning “single since birth.”
Selected from over 4,000 entries, the cast comprises regular people, not influencers or public figures. Before the main shoot, all nine joined a six-week pre-filming boot camp.
Each picked a personal area to work on, like grooming, fitness, therapy, or conversation skills. This preparation phase was led by Cupids Seo In-guk, Kang Han-na, Lee Eun-ji, and Car, the Garden.
The filming of Better Late Than Single took place over nine days at a resort on Jeju Island. In a dating-camp setup, the participants tried building real romantic connections without knowing each other's age or profession.
The aim was to spark honest emotions without outside labels. The format takes cues from Single's Inferno, but this time focuses on first-timers stepping into romance.
Better Late Than Single can be streamed on Netflix!
