The 24th batch of ‘I‘m SOLO’ is expected to bring about a ‘huge aftershock’ due to the ‘true choices’ of the single men.

On the 22nd afternoon episode of ENA and SBS Plus’ real dating program ‘I‘m SOLO’, the surprising situation of ‘24 Solo Country’, where the single men confirmed their true feelings by turning back time 9 hours after the ‘random date’, will be revealed.

On this day, the 24th batch of single men and women gather again under the bright moonlight after finishing the ‘random date’. The production team announces, “We will turn back time 9 hours”, and the 24th batch of single men and women get to see in front of their eyes the ‘her #1 in their hearts’ that the single men pointed out before the ‘random date’. However, the single men who confirmed their ‘love rivals’ and the single women who caught the change of heart of the ‘favorable men’ gradually turn on ‘eagle eye’ mode and show their jealousy, foreshadowing an ‘aftershock’.

After checking the results of another single man, one single man reveals his ‘rival consciousness’, saying “How unexpected? That’s a dark horse I never would have thought of’. Another single woman reveals her true feelings, saying “I‘m going to remove (the single woman who is my rival) from the heart of my one-pick single man’.



As everyone explodes with jealousy, some single men and women also complain of ‘mental breakdown’ after choosing the ‘time machine’. A single man bitterly says in front of the production team, “I couldn’t turn back my decision,” and confesses, “Even if I deliberately wrote the script, it wouldn‘t have turned out like this. I can’t ask him to back down.” Another single man reveals his complicated feelings, saying, “If it‘s guilt, it could be a sense of guilt...” before bowing his head and turning on “guilty mode.” On the other hand, a single woman coolly responds, “Okay! Got it!” after confirming where the “guy I like” is headed, and then says, “But I’ll still be in his heart~” before turning on the happiness circuit. Indeed, much attention is focused on how the results of the ‘Time Machine’ selection will change the minds of the 24th generation.

Meanwhile, ‘I am SOLO’, which aired on the 15th, recorded an average viewership rating of 3.5% (combined figures of ENA and SBS Plus based on paid broadcasting households in the metropolitan area) according to Nielsen Korea, and the highest viewership rating per minute jumped to 3.9%. Also, it ranked 2nd in the ‘TV-OTT Non-Drama Topic’ on the Fundex Chart (announced on January 14th) compiled by Good Data Corporation, and is showing off its popularity alongside ‘I am SOLO, and the love continues after that’(나솔사계) which ranked 10th.

The sincerity that turned back time for single men can be seen on ‘I am SOLO’ which will be broadcast on ENA and SBS Plus at 10:30 PM on the 22nd (today).
