Before turning heads on Single’s Inferno 5, Mina Sue Choi had already crossed paths with Lee Jong Suk on screen.
Online communities have since dug up Choi’s acting past, highlighting her appearance in the tvN drama Law and the City, which explores the professional and personal lives of lawyers in Seoul’s legal district.
She appeared briefly as Lee Jong Suk’s blind date, softly flirting with him before saying, “Please, please text me,” when no follow-up date was suggested. Her natural delivery made the moment stand out despite the short screen time.

Mina Sue Choi is also no stranger to the spotlight outside of acting. She was crowned Miss Korea in 2021 and went on to make history in 2022 by winning Miss Earth in Manila, becoming the first Korean contestant to take the top title. She advanced to the final four alongside representatives from Colombia, Palestine, and Australia before ultimately claiming the crown.
Now, Choi is gaining renewed attention through Single’s Inferno 5. From her very first appearance, she drew admiration from both the male contestants and the show’s panelists, quickly establishing herself as one of the season’s standout participants.
The dress she wore quickly became a hot topic on and off the show. Adding to the buzz, fans later learned that the look was not a luxury designer piece but an affordable SPA brand dress priced at around 50,000 KRW (approx. 35 USD), further fueling her viral moment.
From beauty pageants to drama cameos and now reality TV fame, Mina Sue Choi’s unexpected career path is quickly becoming a talking point among viewers.
