‘I‘m SOLO’ The 23rd batch falls into ‘chaos of chaos’ from the moment they choose their first date.
On the 13th (Wednesday) at 10:30 PM, the real dating program ‘I’m SOLO’ of SBS Plus and ENA will reveal ‘23rd Solo Country’ as they begin choosing their first date.
On this day, the 23rd batch of single men show ‘polar’ reactions before the date request. While some single men calmly say “I‘m ready to accept anything”, others are nervous, saying “I’m really nervous”. MC Defconn, who had been watching their various reactions, cheers them on enthusiastically, shouting, “Miracle, arise!”
After a while, a single man approaches the single women’s dorm and shouts loudly. “Let’s go eat a 9-course meal and go for a refreshing iced Americano!” he confidently asks them out on a date. Following this, another single man pleads, “I’m lonely,” and promises “date flex” by saying, “I’ll buy you everything you want to eat.”
The single women respond one by one to the single men’s earnest cries, and the three MCs Defconn, Lee Yi-kyung, and Song Hae-na are simultaneously shocked when they see the results of their date matching. Song Hae-na exclaims, “What is this?” and causes her pupils to dilate, while Lee Yi-kyung tilts her head, saying, “What is this?” Meanwhile, in another selection, all three MCs are delighted as if it were their own story, saying, “It worked!” and “It went well!” Amidst rising interest in whether the “God of Love” has descended upon “Solo Nation 23,” the single man and woman begin their date after the first date matching is over.
During the date, the single woman reveals the reason she chose the single man, saying, “I was curious about his self-introduction story” and “It was what I wanted in a future spouse.” Another single man also complimented the single woman who agreed to go on a date with him, saying, “Your self-introduction really appealed to me,” making me realize the importance of ‘self-introduction’. There is a lot of interest in which single man and woman will fall in love on their first date after their self-introduction and their full-fledged love line.
Meanwhile, ‘I‘m SOLO’ that aired on the 6th recorded an average viewership rating of 4.6% (combined figure for SBS Plus and ENA households in the metropolitan area) according to Nielsen Korea, and its peak viewership rating per minute soared to 5.3%. Also, it ranked 3rd in the ‘TV Non-Drama Topic’ (as of November 4th) compiled by Good Data Corporation, and 1st in the ‘Non-Drama TV-OTT Search Reaction TOP 10’ for the 5th week of October, proving its hot popularity and topicality every week.
The results of the 23rd class’s first date selection can be seen on ‘I‘m SOLO’, which airs on SBS Plus and ENA at 10:30 PM on the 13th (Wednesday).
