'I Am SOLO' Star Kyungsoo Captivates with Stunning Visuals and Humble Charm
Kyungsoo from the 31st season of 'I Am SOLO' captivated viewers with his striking visuals.
On the October 8th episode of SBS Plus and ENA's 'I Am SOLO,' the 31st season contestants were shown getting to know each other over their first dinner.
During the dinner, Youngja asked Kyungsoo if he had ever been told he resembles actor Gong Yoo. Kyungsoo, visibly flustered, responded, "This is a big deal. Please stop."
Sunja chimed in, "It's dangerous to say someone looks like a celebrity here," to which Kyungsoo humorously replied, "I'll be done for after just one episode," waving his hands to lighten the mood. He maintained a humble demeanor, insisting, "You shouldn't say I look like a celebrity."
Despite Kyungsoo's concerns, the female contestants' interest in him soared. Sunja expressed her interest in Kyungsoo during an interview with the production team, saying, "I like someone who seems quiet but treats their person well." Youngsook also showed interest by asking Kyungsoo about his exercise habits.
Kyungsoo jokingly replied, "Of course, I do breathing exercises. I'm a pro," which made Youngsook burst into laughter with a bright smile.
MCs Defconn and Lee Yi-kyung observed the interactions with contrasting reactions. Defconn remarked, "Kyungsoo is so handsome he doesn't even need to work. He just talks. People like us have to grill meat and do everything, but he doesn't have to. I'm envious."
Seeing the women excited over Kyungsoo's simple remarks, Defconn humorously expressed mock frustration, saying, "He just puts his hands in his pockets and talks with the female contestants. He's the enemy of men. I feel animosity," drawing laughter from the audience.
Particularly, after winning over the female contestants, Kyungsoo surprised everyone by coolly going to bed early. While other contestants were socializing over drinks, Kyungsoo retired to bed alone at 11 PM. Song Hae-na, observing this, expressed her surprise, saying, "I've never seen someone go to bed so early," while Defconn admired, "He acts like he owns the place. Impressive."
