‘I‘m SOLO’ 24th generation is caught up in the aftermath of ‘Random Date’.

On the real dating program ‘I’m SOLO’ of SBS Plus and ENA on the 22nd, the ‘Random Date’ scene where the famous line from ‘Solo Nara’ continued and the polar opposite situations of ‘Solo Nara 24th’ where the real choices of the single men were confirmed by turning back time with the ‘Time Machine’ choice were unfolded.

Before going on the ‘Random Date’, Yeong-cheol visits Ok-soon and says, “One comment you made yesterday is stuck in my mind...” and mentions Ok-soon‘s ‘egg freezing’ remark. Ok-soon teased Young-chul, saying, “Do you want to have a baby?” and Young-chul, who was flustered, gave Ok-soon the same hot pack and vitamins he had given to his “one-pick crush” Soon-ja earlier and expressed his feelings. Seeing Young-chul’s changed appearance, Ok-soon flirted, “Is this by any chance a (straightforward) warning?”

Gwang-soo and Soon-ja, who had talked until late at night the night before, went on a ‘second deep talk’ as a ‘random date’. Soon-ja was impressed by the good scent coming from Gwang-soo‘s car, and Gwang-soo said, “I sprayed perfume on the air freshener too.” Soon-ja then said, “I sprayed some too,” and brought her perfumed wrist to Gwang-soo’s nose. Soon-ja then expressed her affection by saying, “Has there been anyone I can communicate with this well lately?” A while later, Kwang-soo asked Soon-ja about her views on love, and Soon-ja said, “There has to be a burning moment in the beginning. Remembering that, I think I‘ll spend the rest of my life as a partner,” which is the same answer Kwang-soo gave during the ‘2:1 Date’ with Young-ja and Jung-sook the day before. After the random date, Kwang-soo said in an interview with the production team that his “favorability has increased, but he also revealed his complicated feelings, saying, “I’m having trouble deciding between Soon-ja, Jung-sook, and Ok-soon.”

Young-chul and Young-sook, who were matched on the ‘Random Date’, enjoyed a ‘pork belly date’ where they felt more like colleagues than lovers. Young-sook asked about Young-chul‘s feelings, and Young-chul said, “Ok-soon feels strange” and “Soon-ja is my number one choice, but there’s something I want to talk about (with Ok-soon) more.“ Youngho and Hyunsook started talking about their commonality of having an older sister and younger brother who are nine years older than them. They also had similar views on marriage, saying they wanted to take wedding photos but not have a wedding ceremony, and Hyunsook enjoyed an affectionate date where she even made Youngho a wrap. After the date, Youngho said, “I felt attracted to him because I thought he was similar to me,” while Hyunsook confided, “My favorability rating has gone up, but I haven’t really found a point yet.”

Youngsoo, who wanted to date Youngja, was thrilled when he was matched with Youngja on a “random date,” saying, “I feel like I’m lucky today.” After eating with Youngja at a meat restaurant, Youngsoo candidly talked about why he decided to retake the college entrance exam in the past and why he studied hard to become a veterinarian. Youngja sympathized with Youngsoo’s life story and shed tears of sympathy. However, Young-ja clearly stated that she had no romantic interest in him, saying, ”I‘ve never mentioned Young-soo (in this interview with the production team).“ Young-soo immediately gave up on Young-ja and said, ”I hope you find a person you want,“ but also asked her to help him find a job with Ok-soon.

Young-sik, who went on a ‘random date’ with Jeong-sook, showed his manners by opening the car door for her and expressed his interest by saying, “Aren’t we meant to be together?”. Jeong-sook asked, “Me first place?”, and Young-sik left it open by saying, “You never know what will happen to other people.” However, before the date, he revealed his true intentions in front of the production crew, saying, ”I‘m going to use Jeong-sook as an AI for simulation,“ and even after the date, he confessed, ”I didn’t feel any excitement as a member of the opposite sex.“

Sang-chul, who went on a date with Ok-soon, showed his wariness of Ok-soon from the beginning, saying, ”She acts cool and chic on the outside, but I found her annoying.“ He also made Ok-soon angry by firmly saying, ”You‘re not the cute type,“ to Ok-soon, who called herself ”cute and sexy.“ Sang-chul tried to drink the beer Ok-soon left for him, even though he knew that he had a ”frog-like side.“ Ok-soon then disarmed Sang-chul with a thrilling plot, saying, ”Do you want to drink my saliva right now?“ Ok-soon then declared, ”You’re going to like me too.“ In the end, at the end of the date, Sang-cheol admitted that he had completely fallen for Ok-soon, saying, ”I have to film you (on future dates).“

After all the ‘Random Dates’ were over, the production team announced, as previously announced, “We will turn back the time to 9 hours to check the ‘real choices’ of the single men.” Young-soo approached Young-ja, who had rejected him on the ‘Random Date’, again and they went on a ‘latex fish stew date late at night”. Right after, Young-soo was in pain, saying, “I couldn‘t go back. The decision I made 9 hours ago...”. Yeong-ho also chose Yeong-ja, becoming a ‘2:1 structure’ with Yeong-soo, but on the other hand, he couldn’t look at Hyun-sook because he said, “I feel sorry for Hyun-sook, who I ‘randomly dated earlier”.

Yeong-sik went straight to Ok-soon, and Yeong-cheol chose Soon-ja. When Ok-soon confirmed that Yeong-cheol, the man she had a crush on, had chosen Soon-ja, she revealed her burning fighting spirit in an interview with the production team, saying, “I have to get Soon-ja off Yeong-cheol‘s mind”. Gwang-soo chose Ok-soon after Yeong-sik. Jeong-sook, who watched this, was upset, but also thought, “I’m (still) in Gwang-soo‘s heart, right?”. Soon-ja also admitted to drinking ‘kimchi stew’, saying, “I thought (Gwang-soo) would pass by and turn around”. Gwang-soo, who chose Ok-soon over Jeong-sook and Soon-ja, showed off a cheerful tiki-taka with Ok-soon while saying, “I felt a bit guilty (to Jeong-sook).” Lastly, Sang-chul chose Yeong-sook, and as a result, Jeong-sook and Hyun-sook got to eat the ‘lonely meal’ with ‘0 votes’.

After the real date began, Gwang-soo confessed, “I have the mindset that I will definitely decide tomorrow,” and Yeong-sik said, “I’m going to (Ok-soon) no matter what,” foreshadowing a ‘straightforward’. Following that, Yeong-sik assured Ok-soon during a ‘1:1 conversation’, saying, “There’s no one I want to get to know other than Ok-soon”. Ok-soon smiled at the ‘younger man’ Yeong-sik, saying, “You’re so cute”. Gwang-soo became closer to Ok-soon as he confirmed many things in common, such as their views on love, during the ‘1:1 conversation’. After the date, Kwang-soo showed his deep adoration for Ok-soon, saying, ”She’s really like an onion.“ In her interview with the production crew, Ok-soon said, ”Young-sik chose me, so I want to (date) her once,“ and added, ”Kwang-soo was really nice too,“ showing her greater affection for Kwang-soo. Meanwhile, Young-sik read a letter he had written on his phone in front of the production crew, saying, ”Until the final selection, I want to (choose) Ok-soon.“ He said to Ok-soon, ”The stars that shone in the night sky that first night were Ok-soon‘s stars...“ before shedding tears, making us feel the sincerity of the ‘innocent man’. The trailer that was released later showed Young-chul and Soon-ja in conflict over ‘vegetarianism’, a scene where Gwang-soo ‘expresses his feelings’ to Jeong-sook, Soon-ja, and Ok-soon, and a scene where Young-soo, Young-ho, Young-sik, Gwang-soo, and Sang-chul compete over Ok-soon, raising curiosity.

The confusing love line of ‘24 Solo Country’ can be seen on ‘I’m SOLO’, which airs on SBS Plus and ENA at 10:30 PM on the 29th (Wednesday).
