On the official YouTube channel of SBS PLUS, a video titled '29th Youngja X Youngsoo's Last Night (+Final Couple Predictions)' was uploaded, featuring the duo's insights.
In the video, Youngsoo asks Youngja if she has been watching the current season of 'I Am Solo.' He mentions that the current trend is the 'tofu face,' referring to Youngsik from Season 20, who has become a popular figure.
Youngsik from Season 20 is over 180cm tall, has lost 10kg, and boasts a fit physique. His gentle and cute appearance has earned him the title of the quintessential 'tofu face' among female viewers.
Youngsoo himself was a popular contestant during Season 29, with female participants expressing their fondness for 'tofu face' men. However, viewers playfully teased him with nicknames like 'stinky tofu face' and 'mapo tofu face.'
Youngsoo commented, "I'm also part of the tofu face group and can be considered the origin of the tofu face debate. I feel proud to have contributed to this trend." He added, "The concept of a tofu face is quite ambiguous," sharing that he received comments like 'stinky tofu face,' 'mapo tofu face,' 'alpaca camel,' and 'steamed bun face.'
Youngja humorously responded, "You were born in the right era to be a tofu face," and suggested they move on to monitoring Season 30, bringing laughter to the conversation.
