In the finale, as the girls struggled while he tried to make a decision, Gwan Hee showed some tears in front of the fire pit.
Many were shocked to see the jovial man cry. Was he finally feeling the guilt of what he did to the girls? The panel was on the edge of their seats as they watched on.
It turns out, Gwan Hee was crying as he was enjoying his time in Inferno too much! He had to head into tough training as an athlete right after filming concluded.
Over the course of my career as a professional athlete, I always found the training hard. And next week, I’ll start training again. I’ll treasure the memories and the good times we shared here as I go through all the hard training.
— Gwan Hee
The panel had thought he was crying over the touching words that Hye Seon uttered before he spoke. They thought that his tears could reunite the couple. It turns out, he simply was dreading training!

Is he crying because he doesn’t want to train? Because he has to go back to training.
