The super special identities of the 24th class of ‘I am SOLO’ ‘Nerd men’ have been revealed, capturing attention.

On the real dating program ‘I am SOLO’ aired on ENA and SBS Plus on the 1st, the 24th class of solo men appeared in the ‘Self-Introduction Time’ and surprised not only the solo women but also the 3MCs Defconn, Lee Yi-kyung, and Song Hae-na by revealing their surprising profiles.

The solo women, who had previously gotten into the ‘One Pick’ solo men‘s cars for ‘First Impression Choice’,’headed to the ‘Solo Land 24’ dorms, each engaged in a fierce battle of appeals. Among them, Jeong-sook and Ok-soon, who were in Gwang-soo’s car, showed off a fierce battle of wits over Gwang-soo, not giving a single word. When Gwangsoo hands Oksoon an energy drink, saying, “You look tired,” Jeongsook steps in to control the flames by saying, “Why don‘t you take it with you?” In a tense atmosphere, the 24th generation arrived at the dorm and continued their conversation while eating spicy braised chicken together. Here, Oksoon said, “Do you think I got the right name?” and showed her “proud Oksoon”, to which Yeongshik responded, “You know me well~.” Oksoon surprised Yeongshik by saying, “Is that why you didn’t give me a first impression ticket? Because I‘m so pretty?” with a flirtation and a hint at the aftertaste. Yeongho also captured the hearts of the single women, including Yeongja, with a “wink.” Some time later, Young-ho said in an interview with the production team, “I liked how you reacted to my casual comments” and mentioned Young-ja as the girl he likes, not Jung-sook, who was his “first impression pick”, giving the three MCs goosebumps.

Following the spicy braised chicken party, the 24th generation continued with “barbecue time”. During the game of “rock paper scissors”, Soon-ja, who became the “king”, arranged the single men around her and instructed(?) them to switch seats every 30 minutes. Young-chul looked at Soon-ja who was so confident as to find her cute. Jung-sook openly defended the seat next to Gwang-soo, her “first impression pick”. Then, she said, “It’s cold” and shrank, to which Gwang-soo immediately got up from his seat, saying, “I‘ll bring you my jumper.” Jeong-suk immediately followed Gwang-soo, and later smiled in satisfaction when she received Gwang-soo’s clothes and created a couple look. Gwang-soo said in his interview with the production team, “My first impression of Jeong-suk was that she would be quiet, but she was so good at talking. The two people who got into my car earlier were the most important,” showing interest in Jeong-suk and Ok-soon, who had chosen him during the “First Impression Selection.”

Young-soo complimented Ok-soon, who was sitting next to him, saying, “You peel tangerines so beautifully.” Ok-soon replied, “Because your face is pretty,” and added, “I look innocent without makeup, but sexy with makeup.” Young-soo, who was deeply in love with the “demon woman” Ok-soon, asked her about her ideal type, and Ok-soon answered, “I like a man who is good at talking. I don‘t care about his appearance,” making Young-soo excited. Ok-soon, who had succeeded in winning over Young-soo, took aim at Young-sik’s heart this time. As soon as Young-sik sat down next to her, Ok-soon said, “I’ve been waiting,” and “I missed what Young-ho was saying because I was looking at Young-sik.” She also specifically praised Young-sik’s good points, saying, “Young-sik was sitting on the bench earlier, and you saw all the trash around him and cleaned it up.” Young-sik was thrilled by Ok-soon’s compliments and expressed his affection by saying, “I’d like to talk tomorrow when you have time.”



After finishing her conversation with Young-sik, Ok-soon also had a ‘1:1 talk’ with Young-chul. When she found Young-chul who had gone out to get the jelly in the car, she ‘flirted’ by saying, “I think I’m (Young-chul’s) number one.” Yeong-cheol was shaken by Ok-soon‘s comment, and naturally, Ok-soon was surrounded by Yeong-cheol, Yeong-ho, Gwang-soo, and Yeong-soo. Yeong-soo praised her, saying, “(Ok-soon) is already a trend right now,” and Ok-soon laughed during her interview with the production team, saying, “I’m open to possibilities for everyone. I have a suffocating charm. Women may not see it favorably, but all men who are (flirting) like it.” When everyone was going to bed, Yeong-ho grabbed Yeong-ja, who was returning to her dorm room. He continued, “You were talking about your favorite food next to me earlier, and that‘s when I became interested in (Yeong-ja).” Yeong-ja was embarrassed, saying, “Me?” and Yeong-ho rushed in, saying, “I want to go out (on a date) with you tomorrow.” Yeong-ja responded, “Thank you,” and hinted at her interest in Yeong-ho, saying, “You seem like a good person.”

On the morning of the second day, Hyun-sook showed off her charms by showing him the cereal she had made herself. Yeong-cheol went to the women’s dormitory and called Sun-ja over, giving her vitamins and acorns he had picked up during his walk. Sun-ja relayed this to Ok-soon, and Ok-soon went to the common living room to meet Yeong-cheol and teased him, saying, “How about a confident woman?” Then Yeong-soo joined them, and he, who had a crush on Ok-soon, asked, “Have you ever dated someone you had the chance to date?” Ok-soon tactfully avoided answering, saying, “I‘ll forget about my past.”

The 24th ’Self-Introduction Time‘ finally began. Yeong-soo was born in 1986 and was a veterinarian running an animal hospital in Changwon. Yeong-su, who has a warm heart enough to adopt and treat an injured ‘stray cat, sang ‘Jilpungado’ passionately and said, “Moving after marriage isn’t easy, but I‘ll work hard at long-distance relationships. It’s okay if you don‘t like animals.” Young-ho was born in 1987 and was a startup app developer. He said, “I pursue wellness. I want to meet someone who shares the same thought that ‘love conquers all’.” Afterwards, he performed Stevie Wonder’s ‘Isn‘t She Lovely’ on the guitar. Yeong-sik introduced himself as “Born in 1993 and working as a level 8 civil servant in Changwon’. He then showed off his ‘hot guy’ side by saying, “I’ve been living alone for 10 years, so I‘m good at cooking Korean food.” Next, they sang Cool’s ‘Aloha’ unaccompanied.

Young-cheol revealed a surprising profile, saying, “Born in 1992, he is a national judo player who was ranked 14th in the world.” He also said, “I‘m currently living in a dorm in Anyang, so I brought in a tenant for my house in Dongtan,” revealing that he is a ready groom-to-be. Kwang-soo is a top-ranked person from the high school exam born in 1992 who “quit as a level 5 civil servant and is currently working as a COO at a startup.” After that, he sang H-Code’s ‘In My Dreams’ at a singer-level, receiving praise for being a ‘fraudulent character. Sang-cheol, born in 1990, revealed his unique job as a large animal veterinarian responsible for the breeding and health of Korean beef and dairy cows, and emphasized, “In my 20s, I learned singing, Japanese, piano, and bass to cultivate a healthy mind and prepare to be a good father and husband.” Following this, he added, “If I feel like I can kiss you, (other physical conditions) don‘t matter. I want to meet someone who thinks similarly.” After the single men’s ‘self-introduction time’, the trailer slightly revealed the fiery ‘self-introductions’ of Yeong-sook who says, “I want a style like Lee Yi-kyung”, and Ok-soon who says, “I froze my eggs”, and the completely different romantic atmosphere after choosing the first impression was captured, raising curiosity about the romance of the 24th generation.

The real identities of the 24th generation single women can be found on ‘I‘m SOLO’, which airs on ENA and SBS Plus at 10:30 PM on the 8th (Wednesday).
