The incident unfolded on the YouTube channel 'Chonjang Entertainment TV-Chonjang Tavern,' operated by 'I Am Solo,' in a video titled 'Sister, If You Drink This, You're Dating Me? It's the Love Shot.'
The video featured candid drinking conversations among 'I Am Solo' participants: 13th season's Oksoon, 29th season's Sangcheol and Youngcheol, and 15th season's Youngsoo.
What particularly caught viewers' attention was Sangcheol's bold advances towards Oksoon. He confessed his long-standing admiration for her, praising her as the 'best-looking' among the cast, creating a romantic atmosphere.
When Sangcheol expressed his desire to watch a baseball game with Oksoon in her hometown of Daejeon, Youngsoo threw cold water on the idea, warning Sangcheol not to go without a clear confirmation, calling Oksoon a 'seductress' and hinting at potential trouble.
The controversy began when Sangcheol mentioned Oksoon's past as a flight attendant, expressing concern that her high standards might be intimidating. Youngsoo reacted sharply, questioning whether being a flight attendant was something to boast about, directly targeting Oksoon.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Oksoon expressed her displeasure, defending flight attendants nationwide. Sangcheol also attempted to defuse the situation, siding with Oksoon and criticizing Youngsoo's negative remarks.
However, Youngsoo's harsh words persisted, as he stubbornly maintained his stance, even whispering similar derogatory comments to Youngcheol upon his return.
