The romance of the 14th season of ‘I’m SOLO’ fell into chaos.
In the ENA, SBS PLUS entertainment show 'I Am SOLO', which aired on the 10th, the love line of 'Solo Country 14' was reorganized through a second date. The broadcast on this day recorded an average viewer rating of 4.4% (combined figure of ENA and SBS PLUS based on pay-TV households in the metropolitan area), and the highest viewer rating per minute soared to 4.98%. The 'Best 1 Minute' was awarded to the part where the correct answer to the second mission for the 'Super Date Ticket' was revealed.
On his second date, Sang-cheol had a '2-on-1 date' with Young-sook and Sun-ja. Here, Sunja asked, “You said there were two (girls you like), is there even one here?” and Sangcheol immediately answered, “No.” Young-sook was embarrassed and said, “It seems like the meat suddenly stopped working,” but Sun-ja showed her composure and said, “I can skip it.” Sunja then said, “It would have been nice if it was 1 to 1, but 2 to 1 is the way to get to know Sangcheol better,” and laughed, adding, “When he cut the meat and gave it to me, he almost gave it to me first.”
The three people had an in-depth conversation through ‘one-on-one conversation.’ At this time, Youngsook said, “I told you about my age (that I don’t want to be older), but you can still seduce me, right?” and asked, “Are you that much older than me by one year?” Sang-cheol indirectly expressed his refusal, saying, “I also want to shed my faults, but it seems like it will take time.”
After a while, Sunja once again expressed her interest in Sangcheol in a ‘one-on-one conversation’, saying, “I think this date had a huge impact on me.” However, Sang-cheol expressed his burden, saying, “I think I might be missing out on an opportunity to meet someone else because of me.” After the date, Sunja declared in an interview with the production team, “From now on, I am you,” and declared ‘Sangcheol’s single path.’ On the other hand, Sang-cheol revealed that he still only has feelings for Ok-soon and Young-ja, saying, “I’m trying to decide whether I should go on a date with Ok-sun and then go with Young-ja or go all in on Ok-sun.”
Youngja and Kyungsoo experienced the 'backfire effect' of growing apart after their date. Kyungsoo stimulated Youngja's curiosity with a psychological test, but silence soon followed. After a while, Youngja brought up the topic of blood type, and Kyungsoo said, “Everyone in my family is type B,” and added, “I’m not harsh towards my sister. “I can’t win because my sister is the strongest,” he added, raising concerns from MC Lee Yi-kyung, who said, “Pay attention!” After the date, Kyungsoo confessed in an interview with the production team, “My liking for her has increased, but I think of Youngsook a lot.” Youngja said, “Through today’s date, I realized that he wasn’t the person I was attracted to. “I was more curious and thought about Sangcheol,” he said.
Gwangsu, Yeongho, and Yeongsik, who firmly defended 'Solo Nara 14th Street' with '0 votes', soothed their sore stomachs with a daytime drink. Gwang-soo was bitter and said, “Suddenly, Hyeon-ta is coming,” and Young-ho made up his mind, saying, “Don’t regret it and just do better in the future.” Unlike Yeong-ho and Yeong-sik, who fell into a nap after a daytime drink, Gwang-su urgently called somewhere and ordered a “surprise event” by saying, “The amount doesn’t matter.” “I’m doing my best,” he said. “Right now!” he shouted.
‘Older and younger couple’ Yeongcheol and Jeongsook developed feelings of attraction through a trout fishing date. Jeongsuk revealed the story of how she started out earning pocket money and became a star instructor, and Yeongcheol also became close by sharing his story of success through music, which was his father's dream.
Yeongsu and Oksun and Hyeonsuk entered the long-awaited ‘2 to 1 ice sledding date’. In the first impression selection, Ok-soon, the 'Jenny look-a-like' who was chosen by as many as three people including Yeong-su, proudly boasted of the Korean beef gift in front of '0-vote girl' Hyun-sook. Yeong-soo noticed Hyun-suk's feelings, and after a while, in a private interview, he revealed his true feelings, saying, "I was more concerned about Dwi (Hyeon-suk) and wanted to do better for her."
Even in the 2-1 situation that led to the 'formal date with grilled dried pollack,' Young-soo seemed to get along better with Hyun-sook. Then, during the '1-on-1 conversation' time, Young-soo said to Hyun-sook, "The atmosphere is calm and the appearance is elegant, so I developed a protective instinct. “Hyeonsuk kept getting on my nerves,” he said favorably. Hyunsuk asked, “Do you think it will be decided after today?” and Youngsoo responded, “I plan to do it for sure.”
Ok-sun, who had a 'one-on-one conversation' following Hyun-sook, asked Yeong-soo openly, "Do you think it has been decided for sure?" Youngsu said, “Strangely enough, I was worried about Hyunsuk. “I want to talk more,” he said. “(Oksun) feels more like a younger sibling that I need to take care of.” Furthermore, Youngsu pointed out, “It seemed like (Oksun) showing off the Korean beef gift was not considerate of Hyeonsuk.”
In response, Oksoon asked, “Did I make you uncomfortable?” and “It was my effort to smile at least once more and have a bright conversation at least once. “I don’t understand that they are trying to take more care of the person (Hyunsook) who didn’t do that,” he said, expressing his disappointment.
In the end, Oksun said, “I became a villain just because men chose me. “If he had been certain about his liking for me, he should have filtered out and listened to other people’s stories of siding with Hyunsuk,” he accepted. Youngsu said, “It’s really hard. I want to go home. After saying, “Let’s get some cold air and go back in 10 minutes,” I fell into agony in the car. On the way back to 'Solo Country 14', the three people barely said a word and gave off a cold atmosphere.
After finishing their date, the 14th class of single men and women shared their current situation with each other. Youngsu called Gyeongsu and said, “I feel sorry for Oksun.” Youngja also confessed to other single women, “The person I am more attracted to is Sangcheol.” Sunja declared that she would go straight to Sangcheol, saying, “I miss you,” and Youngsook pondered, “It’s not like I’m going to lose.” Young-ja looked back on the love line situation in which everyone, including herself, Sun-ja, and Young-sook, were attracted to Sang-cheol, and Jeong-sook said, “I think I’m the only one who will become a couple.”
After a while, the 14th group gathered in the common living room and took on various missions with a super date ticket. As a result, Jeongsuk, Gwangsu, and Yeongsoo won the super date rights. The last super date ticket was a mission to express one's feelings beautifully using the snow in 'Solo Country 14th Street'. Young-sook, Sun-ja, Yeong-ja, and even Ok-sun all approached Sang-cheol, making the 'Era of Sang-cheol'. announced its arrival.
The romance of the 14th season, a special feature of 'Gold Miss & Mister', continues in 'I am SOLO', which will be broadcast at 10:30 pm on the 17th.
