‘I‘m SOLO’ 24th batch is faced with a ‘chaotic romance’ that hasn’t found its place even on the 5th day.

On the 12th (Wednesday), the real dating program ‘I‘m SOLO’ of ENA and SBS Plus revealed the situation of ‘Solo Nation 24’, which became noisy once again with the ‘Chaotic 5:1 Date’ and the ‘Super Date Ticket’ mission between Ok-soon and Young-soo, Young-ho, Young-sik, Young-cheol, and Sang-cheol.

‘Team Ok-soon’, who were chosen by Young-soo, Young-ho, Young-sik, Young-cheol, and Sang-cheol to go on an unprecedented ‘5:1 Date’, each confessed their ‘reasons for choosing Ok-soon’ and began the competition. Young-sik said, “To be honest, it was too hard for me. [#142] [#142] He burst into tears, embarrassing everyone, saying, “I kept being careful because I had to give other people a chance (to approach Ok-soon).”

After the awkward ‘5:1 date’ ended, Young-chul returned to the dorm and called Soon-ja over. Young-chul explained why he chose Ok-soon over Soon-ja, saying, “(Ok-soon) has been expressing herself to me so actively, that I thought we should go on a date at least once. “ Soon-ja asked, “So how many people do you have in mind?”, and Young-chul declared, ‘Soon-ja is the only one”, saying, “Now there’s only one”.

After the ‘5:1 date’, Ok-soon called Sang-chul over and had a ‘1:1 conversation’. Ok-soon expressed her affection for Sang-chul, saying, “You tell me perspectives that I‘ve never thought about before, so I think I can broaden my thoughts, whether I’m dating or getting married. I think that‘s a good thing.” Sang-chul strongly appealed, saying, “If there’s a choice for women, they should pick you, you me!” Ok-soon then went to find Young-soo and praised him, saying, “Five people came (for the date) today, so I‘m glad you had the courage to appeal.” Young-soo, who was excited, said, “If I was going to do it with a weak heart, I wouldn’t have come into this battlefield in the first place.” Young-soo further confessed, rewriting the lyrics of “Jilpungga-do” that he had sung during “Self-Introduction Time,” saying, “I‘ll run to you, Ok-soon, with a love that I’ll carve again in my wide heart.” After that, Young-soo said in front of the production team, “I felt a subtle change, so I became a little more confident. I will do my best to express myself during the remaining time,” he promised to be straightforward with Ok-soon.

Next, Ok-soon had a ‘1:1 conversation’ with Young-ho. Young-sik, who confirmed Ok-soon’s presence, wandered around the room and opened the door slightly to eavesdrop on Ok-soon and Young-ho’s conversation. Ok-soon and Young-ho were flustered, but they talked seriously about their views on marriage, and here again, Ok-soon praised Young-ho, saying, “He’s a really good man to have as a groom.” Young-ho emphasized that he fits Ok-soon’s ideal type of ‘family man’, and in a later interview with the production crew, “Ok-soon said there were two people in her heart, and I think one of them is Sang-chul and the other is me. He smiled brightly, saying, “Even if he’s not the kind of man I’m attracted to, doesn’t he fit the kind of man I want?”

After taking over the ‘1:1 conversation baton’, Young-sik eagerly asked Ok-soon about her MBTI, favorite food, travel style, etc. Young-sik then asked, “Do you like the feeling of car camping?” and started trying to find common ground, but Ok-soon drew the line, saying, “It’s hard.” Nevertheless, Young-sik stubbornly confessed, “I become an idiot when I’m with you. I don’t know if you’re burdensome. I just think I love you. I love you no matter what choice you make.” However, Ok-soon coldly said in front of the production crew, “I didn’t feel sincere (Young-sik’s confession). It was like a joke.” Young-sik, who returned to his room, started to cry again as he recalled his conversation with Ok-soon. Then, he read the article he wrote, saying, ”Introducing Young-sik‘s Ok-soon,“ and started to cry again.

Finally, Young-chul, who became the main character of the ‘1:1 conversation’ with Ok-soon, didn’t react much to Ok-soon‘s flirting, saying, ”I just liked the way you brightened the mood. It would be okay to date a man like that,“ saying, ”Ah~.“ Young-chul also honestly said, ”I think I’ll spend the rest of my time with Soon-ja.“ However, Ok-soon said, ”I really wanted to ride in a Damas (mini van),“ and Young-chul never said, ”I‘ll give you a ride.“ In the end, Ok-soon ended her relationship with Young-chul with one strong word, ”I loved you.“

Young-ja called Young-ho, who seemed to have given up on her, and confessed her disappointment. Yeong-ho explained that he felt left out because things were going well between Yeong-ja and Yeong-soo during the previous ‘Late Night Date’. Yeong-ja said, “I’m sorry if I made you feel that way” and added, “I was number one, so it‘s a little sad? I’ll try again”, showing her competitive spirit. Yeong-sook, Yeong-ja, and Hyun-sook, who are interested in Sang-chul, rush to find Sang-chul. Sang-chul, who woke up, said about his ‘Random Date’ with Ok-soon, “The GOAT of pure fun!”, “I only go straight and don‘t go backwards. Anyway, the thickest line right now is Ok-soon”. The single women, disappointed by this, immediately retreated, saying, “Okay!”.

Gwang-soo, who had said, “I’m going to go to bed early today” on his date with Jeong-sook, fell asleep early and suddenly went to find Soon-ja when he woke up. Jeong-sook, who witnessed this, was furious and said to the other single women, ”He told me he was going to sleep over and went to talk to Soon-ja. He‘s one step away from selling Kwang-soo’s coins.“ On the other hand, Kwang-soo told Soon-ja, ”I feel more excited when I‘m with Soon-ja (than when I’m with Jeong-sook)“ and let her know that he had made up his mind. After returning from talking with Kwang-soo, Soon-ja told Ok-soon, ”Kwang-soo came over after our date and said something like, ‘I’m going to focus on you alone‘“, to which Ok-soon made a complicated expression and said, ”I don’t know what‘s right.“

In the ‘Super Date Ticket’ mission that finally began, Kwang-soo, Young-soo, and Ok-soon won first place in the quiz and obtained the ‘Super Date Ticket’. Sang-chul also won first place in the ‘I’m SOLO’ 100-day contest with an unconventional poem and obtained the last ‘Super Date Ticket’. Youngja, who was chosen as the runner-up, received a ‘My Own Money, My Own Achasang Date Ticket’. In the following trailer, Youngsik clings to Oksoon to be by her side, and Gwangsoo appeals to Oksoon to use his ‘Super Date Ticket’, raising curiosity about the still-challenging romance of ‘Sololand 24’.

The romance of season 24, which has no end in sight, can be seen on ‘I‘m SOLO’, which airs on ENA and SBS Plus at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the 19th.
