The Island Inferno: Saseungbong-do
The candidates on Single’s Inferno camp out on the beach and look to be surrounded by beautiful beaches and scenery; there are grassy areas on the island as well as what appear to be mountains in the distance in some views.
Although Single’s Inferno never mentions where the isolated scenes in South Korea were shot, the island is speculated to be Saseungbong-do, which is located in Incheon's Ongjin County. Saseungbong-do is a private, deserted island known as "Sado". The whole island is around 4km long and 2km wide, and travellers are welcome to visit. During peak season, there is a boat in Incheon that operates on a regular basis that takes visitors to Saseungbong-do .
