'I'm Solo' 12th generation soloist, Cannes Film Festival graduate
In ENA and SBS PLUS's real dating program 'I am SOLO', which aired on the 4th (Wednesday), the 12th generation of solo members were shown taking off their veil through 'self-introduction time'. In addition, after the 'self-introduction time', the love line between the confused single men and women unfolds between 'GO' and 'STOP', while Youngho, a 'Park Hae-il look-alike', goes on a 'date' with as many as three single women. The appearance of sweating after receiving the application aroused interest.
Following Yeongsu, Yeongcheol, and Yeongsik earlier, on this day, Youngho went on to ‘introduce himself’. Youngho was a 30-year-old semiconductor device researcher at S Electronics. Youngho, who revealed that he entered ‘Solonara 12th Street’ through the recommendation of his co-workers, said, “As long as there are no restrictions on marriage, age doesn’t matter.” He then received a warm round of applause for being a 'commentary master' who said, "I like people who have a pretty smile," and "I will make you smile pretty."
Gwangsu is a 33-year-old patent attorney who revealed his outstanding qualifications, saying that he graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Pohang University of Science and Technology and is currently attending law school. He revealed his values regarding dating, saying, “Being single from birth was our choice.” In addition, Sang-cheol is a 36-year-old IT developer and appealed to his hard work and sincerity by saying, “I am a typical engineering student with a perfect master’s grade,” and Defconn, who was paying attention to the self-introductions of the solo men, asked, “Didn’t you notice something? “No one sang a single song,” he said, capturing the ‘shame’ of single men.
Single women also started their ‘self-introduction’ time. First of all, Youngsook was 30 years old and was running the only government-funded training center for ceramic crafts in Jeollanam-do. Youngsook, who has a global background of immigrating to the Philippines and studying abroad in Australia, surprised everyone by revealing her hobby of climbing, despite her elegant appearance. He then sang Handel's 'Let Us Cry' and showed off his heavenly singing skills. Jeongsook, a 35-year-old web designer in the hotel marketing team, expressed her wish, “I wish I could have a boyfriend to climb Hallasan Mountain with me.” At the same time, he revealed his strengths by saying, “I am honest and not pretentious.”
Sunja was 29 years old and was working at a golf course under the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs in Yongin. Sunja, who is said to be “very charming and friendly,” revealed the fact that she became a “woman with 100 million won worth” in her 20s, saying, “I steadily and sincerely collected a lot of things.” Youngja, a 32-year-old animation company OTT content planner, boasted an amazing career that included participation in the Cannes International Film Festival. Additionally, “I don’t look at age. “I like people who don’t smoke and who drink less alcohol,” he said, revealing his own ideal type and standards.
Oksun, 29 years old, said, “I was doing housing-related research at the National Policy Research Institute for Preparing for a Super-Aging Society, and starting this year, I am preparing for the recruitment exam.” Here, “Age difference and distance don’t matter. I wish I was someone who could play games. “I also created a couple ID,” he added, drawing cheers from the men. Hyunsook is 32 years old, and made everyone gasp by revealing her occupation as a musical actor. Hyunsuk said, “Even when I meet friends, I don’t meet them more than five times a year. “I’m okay with long-distance because I think it will create affection,” he said, showing his cool outlook on relationships.
After 'self-introduction time', the romance landscape of '12th Generation Solo' was shaken. Young-su was worried, saying, “My confidence has dropped,” and Young-ho also seemed worried about his unexpected job as a musical actor, saying, “I was always Hyun-sook from my first impression, but when I heard her introduce herself, I felt distant.”
Single women also confessed that their feelings had changed significantly. Sunja, who was in pink with Yeongsik, said, “I want to get to know Yeongho. “My house is very close to my house and I think we have similar hobbies,” he said. Youngsook secretly expressed interest, saying, “Youngsik has a firm belief.” On the other hand, Youngja remained silent, saying, “I don’t know yet.”
After a while, the first date selection took place. This is a way for women to choose a single man they like, and here, Young-sook chose Yeong-sik, and Young-ja chose Yeong-su. Also, Ok-sun chose Gwang-soo, who continued to show interest in her, saying, “I’m curious what kind of person he is since he’s been expressing a lot since yesterday.” Jeongsuk, Sunja, and Hyeonsuk each chose Yeongho, making an unprecedented '3:1 date' a success.
On the other hand, Sangcheol and Yeongcheol received 0 votes, confirming the solitude formula. Youngcheol said, “I was upset. I realized that I was so inadequate and that there was a reason why I couldn't date. “I said I would move forward if I liked it at all, but it seems like I’m taking a backstep again,” he confessed. Subsequently, the polarizing atmospheres of the couples who entered the 'first date' were captured, raising curiosity about their date scene, which will be revealed next week.
‘I am SOLO’ airs every Wednesday at 10:30 pm on ENA and SBS PLUS.
