Single's Inferno Season 4: The fourth season of the popular South Korean dating show Single's Inferno may have come to an end, but the drama is far from over. Fans are still reeling from the aftermath of the show and have been keeping a close eye on the contestants' social media accounts for updates. One contestant who has been making waves is Theo Jang, a model and reality star who won over viewers with his charming visuals and quick wit.
Although Theo didn't end up with his match of choice, Lee Sian, who ultimately chose Yuk Jun Seo, he has still become a fan favorite. However, a recent discovery has left fans feeling disappointed and even outraged. Theo has a post dedicated to American rapper Kanye West on his Instagram profile, which has sparked a backlash among fans.
The controversy surrounding West's anti-Semitic comments has been making headlines in recent months, and many fans are now calling out Theo for keeping the a post related to the Power rapper on his feed. The move has been seen as tone-deaf and insensitive, and fans are taking to social media to express their disappointment and frustration.
The post in question was shared in September 2024? and features a picture of Kanye West, followed by a video clip of him from his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show in 2018. In the clip, Kanye can be heard talking about being too focused on the past and forgetting the present, as he shares his thoughts on how we are all "unpaid actors in the giant script written by God." "God, eye opener," Theo captioned the post, tagging Kanye in his post.
Theo's Instagram post has been screenshotted and shared widely, with many fans questioning why he would choose to associate himself with someone who has been accused of promoting hate speech.
Fans of Single's Inferno took to the Reddit subreddit dedicated to the show and called out Theo, with one even calling him an 'Americaboo,' writing, "Theo is such an Americaboo it's honestly embarrassing." For those who may not be aware, Americaboo is a Korean slang term used to describe someone who excessively admires American culture
Another shared he even had a post with Trump, claiming, "There was a post showing he wore a jersey with "Trump" on it. I would've given him a pass based on ignorance, but coupled with an IG post praising Kanye¡ªyeah, that's a no from me, dawg. Yikes."
One Redditor commented, "I was hoping he wasn't an Americaboo, but he does this????? I think it's because he's ignorant about Kanye's cases and only knows that he is a famous rapper, but it still makes me reevaluate him. He was my favorite male participant besides Dongho, but I guess my favorite is only Dongho now."
"There are a few problematic artists, like singers or actors, and I still listen to their songs or watch their movies, but I won't put that person on my IG," added another.
