Profile Overview

Choi Hye-seon (Korean: 최혜선; born 1998) is a South Korean model. She gained attention through her appearance in the series Single's Inferno Season 3 (2023–2024), including for the way she tearfully shared her joy and emotions, her high self-esteem and honest confidence, and being the most prominent name of her season, due to her social and likeable personality and skillful and intelligent behavior. Later retrospectives described her as a star who drove the program's box office. While on the show, her Instagram followers rose from 2,000 to 1,600,000, and she was the first of the cast to reach 1,000,000 followers. Following the attention she received as the show aired, she took a break from social media. As of November 2024, Choi still got along well with the other contestants, often kept in touch with Yun Ha-jeong, and later reunited with many others. She continued to be involved in later seasons, watching the fifth season before participating in a photoshoot with other alumna.
She later returned to social media, including appearances at events such as a Jujutsu Kaisen and Casetify collaboration in early 2024 where she surprised fans with her British accent. Her second reality show appearance came on Game of Blood, whose production presentation she attended with the rest of the cast in Seoul. Her season received the top spot in TV-OTT topicality ratings, ranked first overall in new paid subscriptions, ranked first in the non-drama topicality category, and the female cast including Choi were nominated for a Blue Dragon Series Award in the category of Female Entertainer Award / Rookie Female Entertainer Award.
Choi's return to Game of Blood set the highest record ever for the franchise in the number of new paid subscriptions on Wavve, which ranked first in viewing time across all genres and viewership. Her unique positive energy and sharp judgment were credited as the center of success, with the second week seeing even higher viewership. The season continued to be popular after its premiere, ranking first in its category's Good Data Corporation Fundex chart for the first, second, and fourth weeks of July, ranking first in viewing time for six straight weeks, and topping the original non-drama and online reaction categories.
