In the 26th season of ‘I am SOLO ‘, two couples were born: Gwangsoo-Hyunsook and Sangcheol-Jeongsook.

On the 25th, SBS Plus and ENA’s real dating program ‘I’m SOLO ‘showed the couple Sang-cheol and Jeong-sook becoming the final couple that everyone expected, as well as the birth of the couple Gwang-soo and Hyun-sook that broke everyone’s expectations, giving viewers goosebumps.

On this day, Yeong-sook, who enjoyed a ‘two dates in one day’ with Yeong-soo, said, “Honestly, I think I like you, oppa.I want to take care of you,” and called Yeong-soo ‘oppa’ for the first time.Yeong-soo said, “It’s a nice story,” but added ambiguously, “I’ll think about it.Whether Yeong-sook makes the final choice or not, let’s go out and eat and have coffee.” Yeong-soo then said, “If we choose each other, we’ll be stuffed as a couple in front of the entire nation,” expressing the burden of the final choice.Hurt by Yeong-soo’s words, Yeong-sook showed her disappointment in Yeong-soo in front of the production crew, saying, “Didn’t I say I’d meet you outside too?” and “It feels like you’re looking somewhere else and squeaking.” He also expressed his distrust, saying, “I have doubts about(Yeong-soo’s)sincerity.”

Youngho and Sunja went on their first ‘1:1 date’, but there was no significant result.Youngho hid his true feelings from Sunja, who was curious about his final decision, saying, “We’ve been dating for over 3 days, and we’ve become more affectionate.That’s why I’m becoming more careful.” Sunja said, “The more I thought about it seriously, the more I thought about how to make a decision,” and was frustrated by the lack of progress.

Sang-chul entered into a ‘2:1 date’ like a battle between Jeong-suk and Yeong-ja.Yeong-ja asked Sang-chul if there was anything different from the previous ‘2:1 date’, and Sang-chul said, “The production team said earlier, ‘The time to get to know each other is over.’ When I heard that, I felt like I was hit with a hammer,” revealing that he was thinking of Jeong-suk more than Yeong-ja.In the ‘1:1 conversation’ that followed, Jeong-suk complained, “I felt bad because I dated Yeong-ja first and then talked to her at the dorm.” Sang-chul clearly appealed, “I said(in the production team interview)that the person I’m in love with is Jeong-suk.I can’t hold two hearts.” Jeong-suk smiled broadly, saying, “My anxiety has been relieved.” After a while, Sang-chul confessed with difficulty in the ‘1:1 conversation’ with Yeong-ja, “When I think about who is in my heart more, Jeong-suk is in my heart.” At this, Youngja smiled coolly and said, “I think we can be good friends.” After her date with Sangcheol, Youngja said in front of the production crew, “I lost my fighting spirit.I worked hard, but this is the result, and I have no regrets.”

Meanwhile, Yeong-sook, who appeared in the shared living room after the date, expressed her regret to Yeong-cheol in front of Yeong-soo, saying, “I should have gone on a date with Yeong-cheol earlier.” Yeong-cheol playfully responded, “I wrote a letter to my room and left it there too~.” Yeong-sook joked again, “I almost cried when I saw that,” and Yeong-soo believed this to be true and began to care about Yeong-sook.When Yeong-sook went to get water, he followed her and asked, “What did I do wrong?” After breaking up with Yeong-soo, Yeong-sook confessed in front of the single women, “Yeong-soo said, ‘Let’s go out and meet, whether you make a final choice or not.’” Hyun-sook and Jeong-sook, who are’ lawyers, ‘advised Yeong-sook, “If you don’ t make a final choice, you should set a condition that it will be difficult to meet outside separately.”

Around the same time, Gwangsoo was in the shared living room, sticking next to Hyunsook, providing ‘close care’ and giving her a poem he wrote himself.Hyunsook, upon seeing this, expressed her gratitude, saying, “It’s true that Gwangsoo is someone I need.” However, Hyunsook confessed, “There are times when Gwangsoo becomes burdensome.” Gwangsoo looked bitter and said, “Is this all we’ve achieved?” Hyunsook explained, “At first, Gwangsoo felt like a friend, but now he feels like a lover.I think it’s because I’m confused because there’s never been a case where a friend went from being a lover to a lover.” Gwangsoo, who felt better at this, started ‘Gwangsoo Lighting’ saying, “Because you’ll always be by my side~”, “I’ll look forward to tomorrow!” , and eventually returned to his room past 5 AM.

On the day of the ‘final choice’, Young-soo met Young-sook and asked her about her concerns, saying, “I wondered if there was something on your mind about me.” Young-sook conveyed her feelings, saying, “If you’re going to meet me outside, make(the final choice), and I don’t want to meet you ambiguously without making a choice.” Gwang-soo ordered brunch to go and called Hyun-sook over, saying, “You’re going to feel so empty without the person who was kind to you.You can’t stand that.Let me continue to take care of you, for the rest of your life~” and tried to ‘drive a wedge’.Young-sik then shared with Hyun-sook the meaning of the final choice and promised to become comfortable friends by meeting near the company building, which is in the neighboring building.

In the final selection, Sang-cheol and Jeong-sook were the first couple to be chosen.The popular man Yeong-ho gave up on the final selection, saying, “It wasn’t enough time to decide on something in 5 nights and 6 days.” After that, Soon-ja, Yeong-cheol, Gyeong-soo, Yeong-ja, Ok-soon, Yeong-soo, Yeong-sook, and Yeong-sik all gave up on their final selection.Finally, Gwang-soo rushed to Hyun-sook, and Hyun-sook chose Gwang-soo.Immediately after, Hyun-sook laughed in an interview with the production team, saying, “I got hooked.I wonder if I’m brainwashing because I’ve been plotting so many times.” Gwang-soo was touched, saying, “I feel like I’m going to fly.”

Following the 26th season that wrote ‘Love’s Reversal ‘, the new love story of the 27th season can be seen on’ I am SOLO’ that will be broadcast on SBS Plus and ENA on Wednesday, July 2nd.
