The return of 'Dopamine Variety'—Netflix's 'Single but Want to Date' Season 2 premieres on the 7th.

Netflix original variety show 'Single but Want to Date' (hereafter 'Single but Want to Date') is returning for Season 2.

Scheduled for release on July 7, 'Single but Want to Date' Season 2 is a makeover-style reality show that captures the process of participants who have never dated before attempting their first romance. The production team stated that they constructed the narrative around the clumsy emotional changes and relationship-building processes of participants who face a gap between theoretical understanding and actual experience.

Season 1 garnered significant attention, ranking No. 1 on Netflix Korea's content charts immediately after its release. It was evaluated as having achieved an exceptional feat for the variety genre, maintaining a top position even amidst competition with global hits.

In Season 2, the volatility of relationships and the emotional narratives of the participants are expected to be further intensified. The production team presented unpredictable developments and emotional clashes as the main points of interest, expecting to induce high immersion from viewers.

This season, Seo In-guk, Kang Han-na, Lee Eun-ji, and Car, the garden will participate as the MCs, 'Some Makers.' They will play the role of observing and interpreting the participants' dating processes while providing various reactions and comments.

Seo In-guk said, “I am happy to greet you again with Season 2,” adding, “Please watch the fluttering and fun dating processes of these singles.” Kang Han-na explained, “The point of interest is the appearance of participants who are clumsy but sincere.”

Lee Eun-ji expressed confidence regarding Season 2, saying, “The developments will be even stronger than in Season 1,” while Car, the garden shared, “I am grateful to both the participants and the production team.”

The trailer partially revealed the more complex emotional changes and relationship formations of the participants. The MCs showed more active involvement or emotional reactions than before, simultaneously inducing tension and laughter.

The production team presented 'first experience,' 'emotional confusion,' and 'relationship reconfiguration' as the core keywords for this season. In particular, the 'catfish effect,' where new participants introduced midway bring changes to the existing relationship dynamics, is expected to act as a major variable.
