JEJU ISLAND – The latest season of the Netflix's Korean original "Single's Inferno" created a buzz with a bolder lineup of charming young Korean singles tasked with finding romantic partners.

Like in the previous seasons, their only way to escape from the uninhabited island "Inferno" is to become a couple. Every day, the contestants are given a chance to become a couple and helicopter out to a luxurious hotel named "Paradise," where they can share their age and profession and get to know each other through dates.

Upon its premiere on Dec. 12, 2023, the third season of the smash-hit dating reality show became a global sensation, hitting the global top 10 charts of the streaming giant in 36 countries, including Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand and Canada.

The first two seasons, which each garnered around 6 million viewing hours, became a travel inspiration for many inbound tourists to visit Paradise City Hotel in Incheon, Korea's third-largest city.

This time, the "Paradise" of the third season, which ended with a bigger success last week with 95.5 million hours, is at the Grand Hyatt Jeju, a hotel in the southern resort island that prides itself as the largest Grand Hyatt property in the Asia-Pacific region.

The hotel is one of three major parts of Jeju Dream Tower, the first urban integrated resort in the country. The other two parts are a foreigner-only casino and a shopping mall named HAN Collection.

Just 10 minutes away from the airport, the landmark property stands 169 meters tall in the city center's Nohyeong-dong neighborhood, which is also known as the "Gangnam of Jeju." It is the tallest and largest skyscraper on the island, opened by Lotte Tour Development in December 2020.

The integrated resort boasts exceptional panoramic views thanks to the rest of the region's 55-meter altitude restriction that the self-governing province imposes on buildings for landscape conservation of nearby Mount Halla. In the series, the coupled contestants marvel at panoramic views from the hotel featuring ocean, city, mountain and airport.

The filming took place in the 195-meter square diplomatic suite on the top floor. The room was big enough for contestants to stroll around inside after dinner, as if they were walking in a park.

On the top floor, the room is equipped with iconic pieces of the French high-end furniture brand Roche Bobois and a huge bathtub. Guests are provided with welcome food, a room-service breakfast made of seasonal local ingredients and a private butler throughout the stay to provide requested services.

The outdoor infinity pool on the sixth floor was the location of the show's iconic scene where sparking tension grew among cast members. Heated and open until midnight throughout all four seasons, the pool is a photo hotspot with breathtaking sunset and nighttime views.

Under the theme of "modern Korean lifestyle," the hotel also offers a wide range of food and beverage facilities in its 14 restaurants and bars for young and trend-sensitive free independent travelers (FIT) whose share of inbound tourism is growing to outnumber group tourists.

The hotel features fine dining encompassing Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Western cuisines made by global star chefs, where couples in the series had romantic dinner dates.

Meanwhile, at the top of the hotel building on the 38th floor is Pocha, a restaurant offering a variety of street food delicacies, local liquor and soju cocktails at reasonable prices with unhampered, picturesque views of the island. "Pocha" in Korean refers to a tent restaurant street food and beverages are sold.

With around 60 percent of its guests being foreign nationals, the hotel provides language services in English, simplified and traditional Chinese and Japanese via tablet devices throughout the entire resort.

The integrated resort also vitalized the neighborhood with an influx of foreign travelers seeking Korean food experiences, according to the hotel officials. The food alley next to the tower boasts a growing number and range of trendy and local restaurants, coffee shops and bars that are worth exploring.

The southern island expects to see a surge in the number of international visitors with the resumption and expansion of flights connecting it with cities of other countries in Asia.

In January, the number of direct flights between Jeju and Bejing, Taipei and Macao have increased to three, seven and two weekly flights, respectively.

The island now also has direct flights to China's Nanjing, Ningbo, Beijing, Zhengzhou, Tianjin, Pudong and Hangzhou, as well as Singapore, Hong Kong and the Japanese city of Osaka.
