Heartfelt Conversations and Surprising Revelations on 'I Am Solo'

During the broadcast, Young-sik, who was suspected of being a 'villain' for talking to all the female participants, finally sat down with Ok-soon on the last night to share his sincere feelings.

On the YouTube channel 'Village Chief Entertainment TV', operated by ENA and SBS PLUS's 'I Am Solo', a video titled '※Unreleased Footage※ 29th Season_Young-sik and Ok-soon Talk for the First Time on the Last Day' was uploaded.

In the video, Young-sik and Ok-soon from the 29th season of 'I Am Solo' sat on a bench to have a conversation they hadn't had before, just before the filming ended. Young-sik candidly shared that he didn't want to miss the last chance to talk to Ok-soon, mentioning his experiences of confessing to several participants and being rejected. In response, Ok-soon warmly comforted him, saying she was already aware of his diligence in secretly cleaning the common living room and handling recycling. Young-sik humorously shared his story of having to change clothes frequently because he ruined them while recycling, which brought laughter.

During the conversation, Young-sik suggested taking photos using the front camera, a method popular among the MZ generation, showcasing their closeness despite the 8-year age difference. Born in 1997, Young-sik jokingly referred to himself as part of the MZ generation to Ok-soon, who was born in 1989, and praised her unique proportions after taking her photo. Ok-soon expressed her happiness in realizing Young-sik's genuine desire to become friends and showed a positive response, suggesting they continue their connection even after filming.

Previously, Young-sik attempted to converse with all the women except Ok-soon, leading to a blunt critique from Young-sook, who asked if he was a 'villain' stirring things up everywhere. However, the unreleased footage revealed Young-sik's hidden efforts and sincerity, offering viewers a surprising twist. In a live broadcast, Ok-soon from the 29th season revealed that she became a final couple with fellow participant Young-soo and they are still happily dating.

Meanwhile, rumors of Young-sik's resignation caught attention on an anonymous workplace community. A user claiming to be a colleague stated that Young-sik expressed his intention to resign to his team leader and bid farewell before leaving the company, but there has been no official statement from Young-sik's side. Young-sook, in a video call farewell, thanked viewers and her 29th season colleagues for their warm support despite her shortcomings, promising to meet again.
