The sweet love story of the 22nd generation couple Kyungsoo-Ok-soon and the 17th generation couple Sangchul-Hyunsook of ‘I‘m SOLO’ has been revealed.

On the ENA and SBS Plus episode ‘I’m SOLO, and the Love Continues After That’ (hereafter ‘Nasol Sagye’) that aired on Thursday the 20th, the 22nd generation couple Kyungsoo-Ok-soon were shown confirming their strong love while bickering over ‘family planning’. Also, 17th generation Sang-chul and Hyun-sook revealed their exemplary newlywed status that even the 3MCs Defconn, Kyung-ri, and Yoon Bo-mi acknowledged as a ‘textbook of married life’.

On this day, 22nd generation Gyeong-soo and Ok-soon of the ‘Single Special’ went on an outing to an aquarium with Ok-soon‘s 3-year-old son. 22nd generation Gyeong-soo took good care of his son who was crazy about fish, and said, “It’s a shame my daughter didn‘t come”, and dreamed of a family that would become ‘a complete four’ with his daughter as well.

After the outing, the two left their son with 22nd generation Ok-soon’s mother and enjoyed a date just the two of them. During this process, 22nd generation Ok-soon‘s mother showed her warm love for her ‘future son-in-law’ by giving 22nd generation Gyeong-soo a flower basket as a gift. 22nd generation Gyeong-soo said to his ‘future father-in-law-mother-in-law’, “I will introduce you formally next time” and did a ‘folder greeting’. Immediately after, 22nd generation Gyeong-soo confessed his marriage plans in an interview with the production team, saying, “(with 22nd generation Ok-soon) I am thinking about getting married. Before getting married, living together comes first”.

The two of them had dinner at Ok-soon’s house. During the meal, Ok-soon suddenly mentioned her plans for a second child, saying, “Let‘s talk about that again”. 22nd generation Ok-soon said, “I wonder what it feels like to be pregnant when you have a family”, and 22nd generation Gyeong-soo showed a conflicting stance, saying, “I don’t want to have (a second child) just for the sake of one year of happiness. The two of us are more important to me”. 22nd generation Gyeong-soo also expressed the sense of alienation that his daughter and Ok-soon‘s son would feel when the second child is born, as well as the burden of housework and childcare. However, Ok-soon of the 22nd generation persuaded him, saying, “You don’t have to feel left out. I‘ll take care of the child-rearing, I promise.” Furthermore, Ok-soon of the 22nd generation boasted, “I’m going to give birth to the son of the family. I‘ll raise him to be a genius.”

Kyung-soo of the 22nd generation, who had said, “I’m not interested in having a second child,” eventually laughed and said, “If I‘m going to have one, it’ll be a girl, and if I have to, twins!” Ok-soon of the 22nd generation looked at Kyung-soo lovingly. After a while, Ok-soon of the 22nd generation revealed her feelings in front of the production crew, saying, “Actually, I‘m so happy with the two of us that it’s okay if we don‘t have a second child. (Since the chances of having a second child are low) We’re just joking around more.”

The two, who confirmed their strong trust and love for each other while bickering, visited Tongyeong, Gyeongnam, the filming location for the 22nd season of ‘I‘m SOLO’ a few days later. Here, the two of them suddenly shed tears, raising curiosity about the next broadcast. Following the story of Gyeong-soo and Ok-soon from the 22nd generation, the newlywed life of Sang-chul and Hyun-sook from the 17th generation unfolded next.

‘I am SOLO’ Sang-chul, a ‘caring man’ who took care of the singles’ breakfast in the 17th generation, greeted the production crew as a ‘sweet husband’ who prepared breakfast just for his wife. Hyun-sook from the 17th generation greeted the production crew warmly and revealed her dating and marriage history. Hyun-sook from the 17th generation confessed, “We naturally became lovers after leaving ‘Solo Nation’. Things like ‘let‘s date’ didn’t mean anything.“ 17th class Sang-cheol said, ”After filming ‘I’m SOLO‘ ended, I went straight to Gwangju (where 17th class Hyun-sook’s parents live)“ and quickly greeted Hyun-sook‘s parents.

The two, who got married in August of last year, confessed that they had been so busy with work that they did not have time to see each other. 17th class Hyun-sook said with a laugh, ”(Sang-cheol) hardly came home. It was like that for 2-3 months. My friends asked me, ’How‘s your newlywed life?’ but I answered, ‘I don’t have a husband.‘ I’m finally living a proper newlywed life now.“ Of course, 17th class Sang-cheol made 17th class Hyun-sook smile with his affectionate attitude that erased her regret for the empty spot of her ‘new groom’. He prepared breakfast for his wife and did the dishes in no time. In the meantime, Hyun-sook got her makeup done and other things to make herself look better. Regarding this, Hyun-sook of the 17th class admitted happily, “I never thought I would meet such a (sweet) person, but I was lucky. Thanks to ‘SOLO,’ I met Sang-cheol and I’m living a luxurious life.”

The two, who have dancing as a common hobby, got along really well even when watching TV. They would watch dance programs together and dance along to the dances that appeared on the show, constantly smiling. Furthermore, Sang-cheol of the 17th class showed his sweetness by preparing a touching event for his wife, who was crazy about dance programs, to receive ‘daily dance lessons’ from dancer Kimu-gan, who appeared on the show. 17th Hyun-sook had fun learning the ‘Breaking Jung: Poison’ dance with her husband at the dance studio of Kimugan, and had a blast dancing with her husband in the car on the way back.

After arriving home, 17th Hyun-sook set out to cook a special dish for 17th Sang-cheol, who always prepares meals for her. However, 17th Hyun-sook encountered difficulties from the beginning in finding ingredients, and finished the abalone pot rice with 17th Sang-cheol‘s help. Nevertheless, 17th Sang-cheol praised it, saying, ”It’s more delicious than I imagined. I‘m very satisfied!“, and 17th Hyun-sook replied, ”I’ll make it for you next time too.“ Furthermore, 17th Hyun-sook expressed her affection, saying, ”(My husband) works so hard that he pushes his body too hard, shouldn‘t we live together for a long time? Please live longer than me no matter what.“ Then, the two hugged each other affectionately, saying, ”I love you~“ to each other.

Kyung-ri, who saw the sweet newlywed life of Ok-soon and Sang-cheol of the 17th generation, praised Sang-cheol of the 17th generation, saying, ”A natural monument!“ and Defconn applauded, saying, ”The epitome of a model married life!“
