Age Concerns Stir Drama on 'I Am Solo' Season 29

The latest episode of SBS PLUS's 'I Am Solo' has sparked a lively discussion among female contestants about the age of their male counterparts.

On the YouTube channel 'Village Chief Entertainment TV,' run by the show's PD, a video titled '※Unbroadcasted※ Chaos in the Women's Room After 29th Season Introductions' was released.

After the 'Older-Younger' special introductions, the female contestants were surprised by the younger-than-expected ages of the male participants, leading to a mix of confusion and concern.

Ok-soon inquired, "Who is the oldest among the men?" The other women revealed that Young-chul, born in 1991, was the eldest. Young-sook expressed her worries, saying, "I think the guys in their 20s might find it annoying," while Young-ja added, "They might just remember us as older sisters from their past."

Young-sook further explained, "For instance, if someone in their 20s likes Ok-soon, but I am interested in Sang-chul, I would be hesitant to ask him out." Sang-chul, born in 1997, is 28 years old. Young-ja responded, "What can we do? We have to make it work here."

Ok-soon agreed, "Even if I like Sang-chul, I might not be able to ask him out," while Hyun-sook advised, "Don't worry about the age difference." However, Young-sook insisted, "It's hard not to consider age." Ok-soon added, "Even if I were in my 20s, I personally wouldn't prefer a significant age gap, so it's a bit daunting."

Young-ja suggested, "Let's not think about our age," but Young-sook continued to worry, "How can we not think about age? If it were just dating, age wouldn't matter, but the guys aren't in a hurry."
