‘Nasol Sagye’ 10th generation Jeong-sook had a tense war of nerves with 10th generation Yeong-ja and Mr. Baek Kim this time, not 10th generation Yeong-sook.
On SBS Plus and ENA‘s ‘I’m SOLO, Then Love Continues’ on the 9th, 10th generation Jeong-sook, after spending a ‘night of resentment’, was shown approaching Mr. Baek Kim again, while Mr. Bae and 16th generation Yeong-ja showed a high-speed romance that seemed to declare ‘Today is the 1st’, immersing viewers.
Earlier, 10th generation Jeong-sook was shocked when Mr. Baek Kim chose 10th generation Yeong-sook in the ‘Midnight Cabbage Pancake Date’, and vented her anger all night long. On this day, when the ‘Rainy Date’ selection began, 10th generation Jeong-suk declared to the other single women, “After getting so mad at Mr. Baek Kim, you‘re choosing (Mr. Baek Kim)!”, making everyone burst into laughter. Immediately after, 10th generation Yeong-suk chose Mr. Park after being agonized over Mr. Baek Kim and Mr. Park, and 22nd generation Yeong-suk also chose Mr. Park and ended up going on a ‘2:1 Date’. 22nd generation Yeong-suk revealed the reason for choosing Mr. Park, saying, “Yesterday, Mr. Park flirted with me, saying, ‘Let’s go to Qingdao together’,”, and Mr. Park said, “To be honest, I don‘t feel that good,”, implying that he was uncomfortable with a ‘2:1 Date’.
10th generation Yeong-ja was agonizing over Mr. Hwang and Mr. Heuk Kim, but suddenly declared, “I’m going to go to Mr. Baek Kim.” In response to the shocking declaration of the 10th generation Young-ja, the 10th generation Jeong-suk complained of a headache, saying, “I don‘t want to go on a ‘2:1 date’ anymore. But why are you suddenly coming out of there?” In the end, the two went on a ‘2:1 date’ with Mr. Baek Kim, and the 16th generation Young-ja chose Mr. Bae as expected, continuing the pink atmosphere. Mr. Hwang and Mr. Black Kim confirmed their ‘solitary formula’ as ‘0표남’. Mr. Heuk Kim, who has been the ‘0 vote man’ for two consecutive times, complained of a ‘mental breakdown’, saying “Please take care of me”, and Mr. Baek Kim also expressed his burden, saying, “How should I do a ‘one-on-many date’?”.
After the ‘Rainy Date’ selection was finalized, 10th Generation Yeong-ja emphasized her sincerity, saying, “I wasn’t fooling around with Mr. Baek Kim. I really wanted to get to know him”. 10th Generation Yeong-sook also confessed when the topic of Mr. Baek Kim came up, “In fact, Mr. Baek Kim‘s dating style is ‘100% satisfying’, but since I’m going on a ‘2:1 date’ (with Mr. Park), I want to see how I do it this time. If I feel ‘No,’I‘ll talk to Mr. Baek Kim”.
Finally going on a date, Mr. Bae and Youngja from the 16th class created a couple look with a black top and jeans. Mr. Bae then drove Youngja from the 16th class into the car and showed off his sweetness by personally tying her seatbelt. Youngja from the 16th class, who is raising one child, honestly confessed to Mr. Bae, “Because I have a child, (meeting Mr. Bae) is not comfortable,” and confessed her true feelings, “I want to meet and talk more and see you outside too.” Mr. Bae responded, “I want to keep seeing you outside too,” and said powerfully, “(After finishing ’Single Homestay‘) bring (the child) on our first meeting. I think that would be right.” After finishing their meal, the two sat close together in the car to take a couple selfie and naturally linked hands. After finishing the date, Mr. Bae smiled happily in front of the production crew and said, “While others are chaos, I am the only calm wave.”
Jeong-sook of the 10th generation, who went on a date with Mr. Baek Kim, appealed to her disappointment bluntly. Jeong-sook of the 10th generation started by saying, “I have to ask what I need to ask and talk about what I need to talk about,” and then said, “Didn’t oppa (Mr. Baek Kim) give me a back hug in the kitchen the day before? I thought he would naturally come to me. But when he suddenly went to Young-sook of the 10th generation, he was like, ‘Are you managing the fishery? What is that?’” Mr. Baek Kim apologized, saying, “I felt that it was my mistake to (be intimate) because we were getting a little closer and more comfortable. I‘m really sorry.” As the mood softened, Jeong-sook of the 10th generation said, “No matter what oppa does, I will go straight ahead.” 10th generation Young-ja also actively appealed to Mr. Baek Kim that she liked him, saying, “The timing could be misunderstood, but can’t I recognize him?” However, Mr. Baek Kim drew the line, saying, “10th generation Young-ja feels like a cute niece to me.” He also told 10th generation Jeong-sook, “I want to get along well as close oppa-dongsaeng (brother-in-law),” and informed her of the end of their romance. 10th generation Jeong-sook accepted it coolly, saying, “I think it was a good thing we talked today. (My feelings) have all been resolved.” 10th generation Young-ja said, “To be honest, my favorability toward Mr. Hwang went down, but my favorability toward Mr. Heuk Kim isn‘t going up. Since if I choose one of the two, one of us has to eat Jjajangmyeon, I thought, ‘Then let’s just eat it together,’”, she revealed her true feelings to Mr. Baek Kim.
At the same time, Mr. Heuk Kim and Mr. Hwang, who were eating the ‘Lonely Set Meal’, had a bitter conversation, saying, “Thank you for eating with me”, “I‘ll do the dishes‘. In the trailer that was released later, it seemed like 10th generation Young-sook was confirming her ’two-way affection‘ with Mr. Park, but Mr. Park showed interest in 22nd generation Young-sook by saying, “I didn’t really think much of it, but she lives in the neighborhood. It might be a different story then,“ presenting a super-special plot twist. Also, Mr. Baek Kim confesses his feelings to Young-sook of the 10th generation, and Young-sook of the 10th generation is in chaos right before the ’final choice‘, shaking like a reed between Mr. Park and Mr. Baek Kim, foreshadowing the romance of ’Single Inn’.
The romance of ‘Single Inn’ that sweeps like a storm can be seen on ‘I‘m SOLO, Then Love Continues’, which airs on SBS Plus and ENA at 10:30 PM on the 16th (Thursday).
