Netflix is all set to premiere a unique dating reality show - Better Late Than Single. This one-of-a-kind series follows lifelong singles -people who have never dated before - as they experience love for the first time. While their journey begins awkwardly, the show focuses on their sincere emotional growth as they gradually open their hearts.

Helping them along the way will be the "Spark Makers" - K-drama star and singer Seo In Guk, musician Car, the Garden, broadcaster Lee Eun Ji, and actress Kang Han Na. These celebrity coaches won't just observe; they will also provide heartfelt guidance and emotional support.

At a press conference held on July 3 at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul, the cast and production team opened up about their experience working on the show.
Kang Han Na admitted she hadn’t expected to become so emotionally invested but ended up genuinely rooting for her mentee. "It felt very real, especially because these people have never dated," she shared.

Seo In Guk highlighted the transformation in participants' confidence, noting how something as simple as changing from sweatpants to a suit could shift their entire demeanor. He also pointed out the show's unexpected formats - such as an overnight date - led to surprising moments of laughter and emotion.

Reflecting on the journey, Car, the Garden recalled memories of his own clumsy first love. Lee Eun Ji said she saw parts of herself in the cast, from emotional outbursts to joy over the smallest gestures.

The six-week series blends makeover elements with emotional discovery. Out of 4,000 applicants, a select few were chosen not only for external styling but for internal transformation - through speech, behavior, and emotional development.

Viewers will witness participants experience love for the first time - confessions, emotional struggles, and raw vulnerability. Their hesitation, fear of hurting others, and missed opportunities feel authentic and moving.

Unlike typical dating shows, Better Late Than Single features mentors who interact closely with participants, offering real-time feedback. Episodes 1–3 premieres on July 8, followed by 4–6 on July 15, 7–8 on July 22, and the final 9–10 on July 29.

Director Won Seung Jae emphasized the show's goal: not just "sparks" but the full journey of first love. He encouraged viewers to support the cast as they take brave emotional steps.
