‘I‘m SOLO’ 24th generation showed a romance between ‘polar opposites’ ahead of the final selection.

On the SBS Plus and ENA real dating program ‘I’m SOLO’ that aired on the 19th, the romance of ‘Solo Nara 24’ became even more complicated ahead of the final selection.

On the morning of ‘Day 5 of Solo Nara’, Young-soo asked Ok-soon out on a ‘Super Date’. Gwang-soo said, “I told Soon-ja yesterday (that I was going to go straight to her), but I‘m having trouble deciding. It’s true that I‘ve never had a 1:1 with Ok-soon””,” and continued to conflict over the ‘Super Date Ticket. At the end of the fight, Gwang-soo asked Soon-ja out on a ‘Super Date’, and Ok-soon happened to witness this. Sang-chul called Ok-soon out and asked her out on a ‘Super Date’. Young-sik, who had been watching this from the second floor veranda, ran to Ok-soon in a hurry after the two parted ways. He then said, “I think it would be appreciated if Ok-soon used her ‘Super Date Voucher’ for me,” but Ok-soon said, “I’m thinking about it,” and sent Young-sik away.

Young-ja called Young-ho over and asked him to go on a ‘My Own Super Date.’ Young-ho recommended a restaurant he had wanted to eat at with Young-ja earlier. Young-ja confessed to Young-ho why she asked him out on the date, saying, “I thought you didn’t like Young-ho, but I felt a little sad when I heard that my ranking went down (in Young-ho’s favorability rankings). Ok-soon went to see Gwang-soo after thinking about the ‘Super Date.’ Ok-soon provoked him by saying, “I guess Gwang-soo doesn’t like popular girls.” Kwang-soo expressed his regret by saying, “I don’t think I can possibly go on a ‘1:1 date’ with Ok-soon.” Ok-soon asked, “Who would you choose if you were me?” and Kwang-soo immediately replied, “Me!” After thinking for a moment, Ok-soon told Kwang-soo that she would use her ‘Super Date Ticket’. Later, in an interview with the production crew, Ok-soon said, “Soon-ja said, ‘Kwang-soo said he would approach me.’ I know all about that, but Kwang-soo kept it a secret from me and said he wanted to go on a ‘1:1 date. I‘m going to dig up Kwang-soo today!” and revealed her true feelings.



Young-soo was the first to start his ‘Super Date’ with Ok-soon. At the beef restaurant, Young-soo kept saying, “I want to see you outside more” and “I’ll work harder and do better.” Ok-soon praised Young-soo, saying, “There‘s no one these days who has a mindset like my brother.” Young-soo, whose confidence rose, said in an interview with the production crew, “Ok-soon is a referee in the (romance) arena, and I liked that she gave a ’winning comment‘.” Sang-chul, who was waiting for Ok-soon in front of the restaurant, ’touched the date baton’ with Young-soo. Afterwards, he sharply asked Ok-soon, “Why did Gwang-soo decide to meet (for a ’super date‘)?“ Ok-soon answered, “Gwang-soo asked me (to use the date ticket).” At the cafe, Sang-chul asked Ok-soon about her current emotional state and the criteria for her final choice, and when Ok-soon gave an ambiguous answer, he asked back, “What would you do if I didn’t choose you?” Ok-soon replied, “I almost got mad at you just now,” to which Sang-chul said, “I‘ve become convinced that one of the two (guys Ok-soon likes) is me,” and was secretly delighted.

Young-ja and Young-ho enjoyed a sweet date while walking down the metasequoia road. Afterwards, they ate trout sashimi and even wrapped ssam for each other. Young-ho revealed his actual salary to Young-ja, who asked about it, and Young-ja laughed, saying, “You look handsome!” In the midst of the friendly atmosphere, Young-ho confessed, “I want Young-ja to be number one (in terms of popularity).” Youngja said, “Thank you for being honest,” but also revealed, “I think I’ll be worried until tomorrow because of the long distance between Busan and Suwon.”

Kwangsoo, who started a ‘super date’ with Soonja, brought up his life story of giving up a stable civil servant job and choosing a startup. Soonja praised Kwangsoo, saying, “Even if what you‘re doing now falls apart, you’re the kind of person who‘ll get back up and do something new.” Impressed by Soonja, Kwangsoo asked a surprising question in the car, “Are you the type who’s comfortable with skinship?” The embarrassed Soon-ja blushed, but in front of the production crew, Soon-ja said, “After hearing that story (skinship), I actually felt rational feelings.”

Finally, Ok-soon, who had a ‘Super Date’ with Kwang-soo, asked, “You could have used your ‘Super Date Ticket’ on me, right?” while giving her some leeway and asking about Kwang-soo‘s intentions for choosing Soon-ja. Kwang-soo answered, “Since it didn’t seem like it would work out anyway, I‘ll just guess...” When the topic of ‘Final Choice’ came up, Kwang-soo gave a ‘Strategist’ answer, “This is a place made to compare, but everyone goes to Sun-aebo~”. “He continued by mentioning the story of their first meeting where he carried Ok-soon’s carrier and the ‘Super Date”, emphasizing, “This is also fate!” Finally, Kwang-soo flirted endlessly, saying, “I wonder what Ok-soon‘s real name and phone number are,” “Are you very affectionate?”, and “Can’t you just write me a letter and give it to me tonight?” After the date, Kwang-soo said in an interview with the production team, “We were both on edge. Before we started dating, things like innocence or priority didn‘t mean anything,” and Ok-soon said, “He left out all the important stuff and only talked about weird things,” and pointed out that Kwang-soo’s attitude had become a “self-inflicted disaster.”

After going on three dates with Young-soo, Sang-chul, and Kwang-soo, Ok-soon returned to the dorm looking exhausted. Young-sik went straight to Ok-soon and asked her why she used the “Super Date Ticket” on Kwang-soo. When Ok-soon answered, “Kwang-soo asked me to use it for him,” Young-sik replied, “I asked you to use it too? I was more proactive, and I only looked at you,” he said, looking upset. Ok-soon eventually said, “It’s a bit burdensome.” Shocked, Yeong-sik asked, “Didn’t you say you’d choose me when a woman could pick you?” and Ok-soon explained, “I changed my mind the next day.” Feeling betrayed all by himself, Yeong-sik said, “Still, I’ll choose you. If you say it’s burdensome, I’ll distance myself from you,” and left the room. Right after, Yeong-sik called Yeong-ja and Jeong-sook and confessed, “I was definitely an ‘Ok-soon fanboy’. I was just a passing supporting actor, but I fell for Ok-soon’s bait.” Ok-soon found the shared living room at dawn, and Yeong-sik forgot about the ‘social distancing declaration’ and went straight to Ok-soon to talk to her, showing his lingering feelings.

Kwang-soo, who was alone in his dorm room, came out to the shared living room and talked to Soon-ja about recycling. Kwang-soo handed over a letter he had written in advance and said, ”This is my decision.“ Soon-ja, who avoided her ”roommate“ Ok-soon and read the letter in the bathroom, made a surprising statement to all the single women, saying, ”From the first impression, the timing was so good that I thought it was fate. But I heard something I didn‘t know for 5 days.“ Soon-ja was upset afterwards, saying, ”It’s like a scenario I had planned.“ Then, as Kwang-soo opened the ”Pandora‘s Box“ he had been hiding, the single women were overcome with betrayal, and the final selection of the 24th generation was foreshadowed, raising curiosity about the next episode.

The final selection results of the 24th generation can be seen on ”I’m SOLO,“ which airs on SBS Plus and ENA on Wednesday, the 26th at 10:30 PM.
