The 24th episode of ‘I am SOLO’ featured a tangled ‘chaotic love line’.

On the real dating program ‘I am SOLO’ aired on ENA and SBS Plus on the 29th, the ‘late Late Night Date’ where they went back in time 9 hours to confirm the sincerity of the single men, and the situation of ‘Solo Nation 24’ which was hit hard by the aftermath were revealed.

On this day, Young-ja went on a ‘2:1 date’ with Young-soo and Young-ho who chose her. Although Young-ja had rejected Young-soo‘s feelings early on in the previous ‘Random Date’, she did not explain this to Young-ho, and instead left Young-ho in a state of confusion with the ambiguous words, “We know each other, so we have each other’s feelings”. Feeling left out, Young-ho asked a serious question about marriage, but Young-ja just blurted it out with, “Hahahaha.” After the date, Young-ho was upset in an interview with the production crew, saying, “I felt like we couldn‘t talk much because we were already in a relationship,” and Young-ja honestly said, “I feel like (Young-ho) is like a friend. I’m not really curious about anything.”

Sang-cheol went on a friendly date with Young-sook, whom he had taken an interest in through the “self-introduction time.” The two formed a bond as they shared the same view on love, valuing a “healthy mind.” On the other hand, the “zero-point women” Jeong-sook and Hyun-sook had a meal together thanks to the production crew‘s consideration, and Jeong-sook tried to mind-control herself by saying, “It’s okay,” but also said, “It‘s Sang-cheol now. He said, ”It was so cute when you laugh like a squirrel,“ hinting that his feelings had changed from Gwangsoo to Sangchul.

Sitting across from Soonja, Youngchul carefully asked about the criteria for ‘vegetarianism. Soonja said, ”Actually, it’s better if (the other person) doesn‘t eat it either,“ and added, ”They say it doesn’t matter, but I‘m the type of person who doesn’t want animals to die.“ After hearing Soonja‘s feelings, Youngchul felt a wall and thought, ”It’s more difficult in reality than I thought.“ Soonja also asked, ”You said (athletes) don‘t retire, but suffer, so do you have plans for the future?“ Youngchul answered, ”People who ask like you seem to want someone who is financially stable, and I prioritize someone I can share emotional things with more than money.“ In response to Yeong-cheol’s words, Sun-ja explained, ”If you only look at the economic aspect, I went to a professional,“ and ended the conversation by saying, ”I hope we can think of it as learning one piece of information that we need to know without hurting each other‘s feelings.“ After the date, Sun-ja showed her discomfort by saying, ”It feels like we touched each other’s sore spots while saying ‘it’s okay‘?“

After finishing the late-night date, the 24th generation gathered together again to talk. At this time, Ok-soon said to Jeong-sook, ”Let’s go out for a bit,“ and then asked in her room, ”I think Yeong-ja is expressing (interest) in Yeong-cheol.“ Jeong-sook whispered, ”No, she said she‘s not interested at all.“ However, Ok-soon was sensitive and said, ”But why are you like this today?“ Ok-soon, who returned to the shared living room, threw a flirty remark to Young-chul, saying, ”So when are you going to ask me out on a date?“ Ok-soon also said in front of the production team, ”I haven’t conquered (Young-chul‘s heart) yet. He hasn’t chosen me once,“ and added, ”Currently, I like Kwang-soo, Young-sik, Young-chul, and Sang-chul in that order.“

Sang-chul had a ‘1:1’ conversation with Hyun-sook, who had chosen him earlier. Sang-chul confessed his confused feelings to Hyun-sook, to which Hyun-sook responded, ”I think (Sang-chul‘s feelings for me) are just shallow interest. I don’t like him,“ and ended their relationship with a handshake, saying, ”Let‘s be comfortable,“

Kwang-soo called Jeong-sook, Soon-ja, and Ok-soon in order and asked them ‘questions like other single women.’ Kwang-soo met Jung-sook first and asked her, ”What do you think of me right now?“ and ”What does your final choice mean?“ Kwang-soo also said that he wants a single woman who can accept his ”polar opposite“ sides, and appealed, ”The person I think is the best fit is Jung-sook.“ The next morning, Jung-sook ran into Kwang-soo in front of the dorm. However, Kwang-soo avoided Jung-sook and quietly disappeared. Jung-sook noticed this and said, ”Did you just want to rekindle what you said last night?“ Kwang-soo went to see Soon-ja without Jung-sook knowing and asked her the same question he had asked her. He then expressed his affection by saying, ”I adjusted because I like Soon-ja.“ After the conversation, Soon-ja revealed her changed feelings to the production team, saying, ”Young-cheol is charming, but I feel more comfortable talking with Kwang-soo.“ Finally, Gwang-soo talked to Ok-soon. After complimenting her, saying, “Your first impression is good and you’ve always been my favorite,” he promised, “I’ll pick one today or tomorrow and go all in.”

Young-ja called Sang-chul, whom she had been interested in, and asked him out on a date straight away. However, Sang-chul refused, and later called Ok-soon over and said, “If we take pictures or do something (during the date), I’ll take pictures of you, so you should take pictures of me too.” Sang-chul also told Young-sook, who had asked him to talk, “If I asked you to take a picture of anyone in 1 second right now, I think I’d take Ok-soon,” which made Young-sook feel bitter.

Young-ho waited for his morning coffee date with Ok-soon while making pork and kimchi stir-fry for everyone. After a while, Ok-soon appeared and said she was hungry, so Young-ho was considerate and suggested that they have a coffee date after eating. At that time, Young-sik ran over to Ok-soon and asked, ”Did you sleep well?“ After checking Young-ho’s reaction, he quickly disappeared. Right after that, Young-sik confessed in front of the production team, ”I‘m a real fool,“ and was upset that he gave Ok-soon up for Young-ho. Young-sik, who had been stamping his feet in front of the dorm, asked Ok-soon again, ”Can I talk to you for 10 minutes after you finish eating?“ But Young-ho, who was next to Ok-soon, stopped her, saying, ”I was supposed to drink coffee, but I’m waiting because I‘m hungry. You stand in line.“ Young-sik said, ”Then I’ll make a reservation for later,“ and left. After Young-sik left, Young-ho expressed his affection for Ok-soon by saying, ”Because I enjoy listening to you talk,“ and Ok-soon continued to compliment him by saying, ”I‘m so funny,“ which boosted Young-ho’s self-esteem.

After finishing her conversation with Young-ho, Ok-soon finally sat down with Young-sook. Young-sook suddenly asked, ”I‘m going to choose you in the end. Aren’t you going to tell me who you‘re going to choose?“ Ok-soon replied, ”I told you I was going to choose you,“ and Young-sook immediately ‘froze at the unexpected words. The following trailer showed Young-sook going around here and there and ‘Bragging about her ‘N cars’, saying, “Ok-soon said she’d choose me. I‘m dumbfounded.” However, it was revealed that the next date choice was ‘The single men’s choice’, frustrating Young-sook. Also, after choosing a date, Sunja is flustered and says, ”Didn‘t I choose number one?“, while Oksoon smiles and says, ”It came to be,“ raising curiosity about the next episode.

The crazy love line of ‘Solo Nara 24th Street’ can be seen on ‘I’m SOLO’, which airs on ENA and SBS Plus at 10:30 PM on Wednesday, February 5th.
