The Kwangsoo ♥ Soonja couple was born in the 24th season of ‘I am SOLO’.

On the real dating program ‘I am SOLO’ broadcast on ENA and SBS Plus on the 26th (Wednesday), the final selection results for the 24th season were revealed along with the ‘super twist’ where Soonja, who opened Kwangsoo‘s ‘Pandora’s box’, accepts his heart due to Kwangsoo‘s tearful sincerity.

Earlier, Soonja was thrilled to receive a long handwritten letter from Kwangsoo, but was flustered by Oksoon’s sudden revelation. After gathering the single women, Oksoon said, “It was so obvious that Kwangsoo tried to get my votes,“ and revealed in detail the plots Kwangsoo had done to her on ‘Super Date’. When Soon-ja heard this, she got angry and said, ”I thought he was a (cool) ‘fraudster’, but he was a real ‘fraudster’ who scammed people.“

At around the same time, Gwang-soo saw Soon-ja, Ok-soon, and Young-sook talking through the window of his room and felt ‘sad’ and said, ‘This is depicting the end of that trashy Gwang-soo...’ In pain, Young-sik suddenly came to see Gwang-soo and asked about the ‘super date ticket’ situation with Ok-soon. While listening to Young-sik‘s complaint, Gwang-soo said, ”Why are you forcing your feelings on Ok-soon? Your feelings are not regret (for Ok-soon), but resentment. The fact is that you have never considered Ok-soon’s feelings,“ and made a ‘daily lecture’-level blunt statement. In response to Gwang-soo‘s ’whiplash‘, Young-sik said, ”It’s true that I was selfish. He said, “I’m so sorry to Ok-soon,” but showed a “my way” attitude, saying, “I’ll do whatever I want.”



The morning of the final selection finally arrived. Soon-ja called Gwang-soo over and asked him if there was a lot of “flirting” during his “super date” with Ok-soon the day before. Gwang-soo, who momentarily buffered, gave a long-winded explanation, saying, “The reason I asked (Ok-soon) for her number is because Ok-soon also flirts a lot with guys, and I didn’t want it to feel like I was one of the guys who was taken in by Ok-soon’s flirting.” Then, when Soon-ja asked, “When did you write the letter you gave me?” Gwang-soo confessed that his feelings could have wavered by saying, “I wrote the draft in advance, and the reason I didn’t give it to you right away was because something strange might happen later,” making Soon-ja disappointed. Soon-ja said bitterly, “I thought I had confirmed it, but...” Gwang-soo apologized to the three women, Jeong-sook, Soon-ja, and Ok-soon, for having the same conversation, and honestly explained, “I thought I would take all the risks for the ultimate goal of finding the person I love.” He also promised, “Everything I said was sincere without any misunderstanding. Lastly, my true feelings are that I like you, and I won‘t make you worry like that in the future.” Despite Gwang-soo’s explanation, Soon-ja still had a complicated expression. In the end, Gwang-soo said, “I hate hurting the person I like the most when he‘s in front of me,” and burst into tears.

Ok-soon called Young-sik out after finding the men’s dorm. As soon as Young-sik saw Ok-soon, he apologized, saying, “I didn‘t think my actions could hurt you. I’m a selfish guy.” He continued to talk nonsense, saying, “I honestly don‘t have any big feelings right now, but I do like you.” Ok-soon listened to Young-sik’s words carefully and coolly ended the conversation by saying, “You‘ve had a hard time.” Right after, Young-sik emphasized once again in front of the production team, “I’m the one who doesn‘t hesitate in front of love. I admit that I’m a selfish person and I won‘t make excuses.” However, he soon began to sob, saying, “I did my best, but sob... I don’t know.”

Sang-chul and Young-soo, who had their hearts set on Ok-soon, also went for a “final spurt.” Young-soo met Ok-soon and said, “I think whatever you choose will be fine.” Ok-soon expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thanks to you, I had a good time for 5 nights and 6 days.” Sang-chul asked, “Tell me in one sentence what I am,” and Ok-soon replied, “A vivid person.” After the ‘random date’ with Ok-soon, Sang-chul declared that he would ‘Ok-soon‘s only path’, saying that “’a clear path has emerged”,” and in his interview with the production team, he turned to the ‘hope circuit’, saying, “If it means the same thing as I expressed, wouldn’t (Ok-soon‘s answer) be the answer I wanted?”.

Young-chul went to see Soon-ja one last time. He expressed his feelings again, saying, “I wanted to win the date and spend more time with you”. At the same time, Gwang-soo went to see Jeong-sook and apologized, saying, “I think other people might have misunderstood because I went at my own pace”. He later met Ok-soon and said, “I’m sorry that I caused the misunderstanding because I couldn‘t organize it neatly, which is part of my ability to start trouble.”.”. Left alone in the dorm, Soon-ja took out Gwang-soo’s letter again and read it. Sunja said, “(Kwangsoo‘s) tears touched my heart,” and fortunately, thanks to the production team’s consideration, she had one last date with Kwangsoo before the final selection. Sunja and Kwangsoo briefly felt awkward, but they held each other‘s arms in the open Maisan Mountain and even wrapped each other up in a wrap made of grilled deodeok, regaining the romantic vibe.

The final selection was finally made. Youngho said, “I’ll make the final selection for the one that sparkles the most among the 11 jewels,” and went straight to Youngja. However, Youngja gave up on the final selection, and Youngja said, “I was confused about whether I liked Youngho oppa, but I guess I was just upset that I was lower in his favorability ranking.” Jeongsuk, Youngsuk, and Hyunsuk also didn‘t make a final selection. Youngsoo said, “I want to be a man like a breakwater or a mattress,” and chose Oksoon in the end. Youngsik and Sangcheol also told Oksoon their names. However, Ok-soon gave up on her final choice, and revealed the reason in an interview right after, saying, “There wasn’t a single person I was attracted to.” Young-chul, who had formed a romantic relationship with Soon-ja, didn‘t make a final choice after much thought, and Gwang-soo went straight to Soon-ja without a hitch. Soon-ja smiled brightly and chose Gwang-soo as her final choice, saying, “I’m weak to cute things.” Gwang-soo sweetly replied, “Let‘s have fun and get along, I love you!”

Following the eventful 24th season, ‘I’m SOLO’ will be returning for its 25th season on March 5th (Wednesday) at 10:30 PM on ENA and SBS Plus.
