‘I‘m SOLO’ 10th generation Sang-cheol and 22nd generation Jeong-sook held a ‘free meeting’ filled with laughter and tears, raising expectations for their marriage.
On the 6th, ENA and SBS Plus’ ‘I‘m SOLO, Love Continues After That’, a ‘free meeting’ was depicted where 10th generation Sang-cheol met 22nd generation Jeong-sook’s parents for the first time. In addition, 15th generation couple Gwang-soo-Ok-soon and 15th generation couple Yeong-ja appeared, revealing their loving married life and receiving support from viewers.
10th generation Sang-cheol, who had flown in from the United States to spend the Christmas season with 22nd generation Jeong-sook, met 22nd generation Jeong-sook‘s family for the first time that day. There was a family gathering because it was 22nd generation Jeong-sook’s mother‘s birthday, and 10th generation Sang-cheol was invited. 22nd generation Jeong-sook’s mother saw him and said, “What a surprise present! Today is my birthday, so I thought I might have some good news~“ and expressed his delight. However, soon, he barraged her with questions like ”How did you end up meeting?“ and Sang-cheol from the 10th class replied ”I saw you on TV and felt a connection with you, so I contacted you first“ while sweating profusely.
After this, Jeong-suk‘s mother from the 22nd class continued to ask questions that were at the level of a ‘pressure interview’. In the midst of this, Sang-cheol from the 10th class started by saying ”Mom, I have something to tell you...” and confessed “I live 3 minutes away from my ex-wife in the US and we are jointly raising our two children.” Jeong-suk’s mother from the 22nd class made a serious expression and said “The kids might not like their dad having a girlfriend.” 10th season Sang-cheol said, “I can‘t say I don’t have something when I have it, and I have to do my duty as a father,” and then burst into tears thinking about his children. 22nd season Jeong-suk‘s mother said coldly, “If you thought about your children, shouldn’t you not have a girlfriend?” 22nd season Jeong-suk said, “I have a biological mother, so it seems strange for me to take on the role of a mother. If I get the chance, won‘t I be able to become close to (the children)?”
After the ‘Free Meeting’ filled with laughter and tears, 22nd season Jeong-suk’s mother said in an interview with the production crew, “It was a bit concerning having children, but I thought they would understand a little now that the children are over ten years old. I want to cheer them on,” showing a ‘positive signal’. On the other hand, 22nd season Jeong-suk, who has become more thoughtful, returns home and tells 10th season Sang-cheol, ‘Usually, it would be the end of the year, so I should be spending time with my children. However, he expressed his concern, saying, “Will she be sad since her dad can’t be with her?” Sang-cheol of the 10th generation replied, “I came here to be like Santa in advance,” and “It’s my job to make sure that neither of them are sad.” To this, Jeong-sook of the 22nd generation said, “I thought I shouldn’t just (dating) lightly,” and “(Marriage) can only be discussed if you receive a proposal, but I hope the proposal is small but touching.” Sang-cheol of the 10th generation said, “I’ll keep that in mind. Get ready!” and gave a “pink warning” before sweetly kissing Jeong-sook of the 22nd generation.
Following the romance between Sang-cheol of the 10th generation and Jeong-sook of the 22nd generation, the married life of Ok-soon and Gwang-soo of the 15th generation was revealed. Ok-soon from the 15th generation, who is raising her 79-day-old daughter Joy in her new home, easily took care of the child with her younger sister‘s help. In the meantime, Gwang-soo from the 15th generation came home and the three of them enjoyed dinner with ‘Ok-soon’s home cooking’. After dinner, Gwang-soo from the 15th generation went ‘to childcare work’ and took care of his daughter. Gwang-soo from the 15th generation was happy after changing her daughter‘s diapers and even giving her a bath, saying, “It feels like I’ve found another joy in life”. Ok-soon from the 15th generation also laughed, saying, “I didn‘t like babies that much so I was more of a ‘DINK’, but it’s better than I thought”.
A few days later, Gwang-soo and Ok-soon from the 15th generation invited Hyun-sook, Young-ho, and Sang-cheol from the 15th generation to their house with a 7-course meal. 15th class Hyun-sook prepared various gifts and showed her ‘fool for her nephew’ aspect, and said “I also feel that I would be happy if I met a good person and started a family”, envying the two. 15th class Gwang-soo, who had a good time with his ‘15th class classmates’, said “I don‘t know what big turning point will be in the future, but it will be a turning point with my child”, and 15th class Ok-soon sent an affectionate video letter to her daughter, saying “When you grow up, let’s go to the hot springs next year”.
15th class Young-ja, the same classmate of the two, also showed off her sweet newlywed life for the first time. 15th class Youngja boasted that she received a refrigerator as a gift for her role in bringing together the 14th class Sangcheol and Baekhap couple, who had previously become a hot topic by revealing their love story on ‘Nasol Sagye’, and showed them the ‘I‘m SOLO’ parody video that her husband had made himself, saying, “My husband also wanted to appear on ‘I’m SOLO’. He made a video when he got married saying that he was 15th class Cheolsu.” Not long after, 15th class Youngja‘s husband came home from work holding flowers. 15th class Youngja was happy about her husband’s romantic event. She then revealed the secret story of her marriage, saying, “My husband sent me several messages of support during the broadcast of ‘I‘m SOLO’. After the broadcast ended, he contacted me, saying, ‘Let’s have a meal.’ The person I‘ve been looking for so badly is my current husband!” The husband also said, “He was a cool person himself,” and “After dating for about two months, he asked me if I wanted to get married, and I said I wouldn’t regret it if I did it tomorrow,” revealing that they decided to get married after dating for three months.
The two enjoyed a cozy dinner with steamed cypress made by Yeongja of the 15th class. They also went on a date to the children‘s park near their house on their days off. After enjoying sledding and ice fishing, the two exploded with energy and returned home to cook wonderful dishes such as octopus papillote, steamed mussels, and cheese salad. Not long after, Yeongsu and Sunja of the 15th class visited their house. The four of them talked about their recent activities and had a ’housewarming party.‘ In the middle of it, Yeongja of the 15th class suddenly asked Sunja of the 15th class, “If Yeongsu oppa didn’t drink, would you have met him briefly?” Sunja of the 15th class answered without hesitation, “Yes.” However, when asked if she was dating, 15th generation Soon-ja said, “It‘s a secret!” and added, “I have to get married and have a baby no matter what.” After the cheerful housewarming, 15th generation Young-ja said, “I hope I can just live well like I am now,” receiving heartfelt support from the 3 MCs Defconn, Kyung-ri, and Yoon Bo-mi. In the following episode of ‘Solo Inn’,’ the return of 10th generation Young-sik was anticipated, exciting viewers. In particular, this ‘Solo Minbak’ was named the ‘Gold’ and ‘Single’, the ‘Gol-sing Special’, heralding the birth of a new ‘Legend’.
