'I Am SOLO' Episode 30: Tensions Rise as Romantic Dates Turn Sour

On the latest episode of SBS Plus and ENA's reality show 'I Am SOLO,' aired on the 4th, the once rosy relationships between Young-sik and Young-ja, as well as Young-chul and Jung-sook, took a chilly turn after their fourth-day dates.

Amidst the complex emotions, the fourth-day simultaneous selection took place. Unlike the previous day, the solo women's choices were revealed first. Young-sook bypassed Young-ho, who had betrayed her trust, and chose Sang-chul. Jung-sook stuck with Young-chul, and Young-ja also chose Young-sik without any surprises. Sun-ja and Ok-soon both went for Young-soo, and Hyun-sook joined them, resulting in a 3:1 date. Meanwhile, Young-ho and Kwang-soo ended up with zero votes, confirming their solitary meals.

Young-ja, on a date with Young-sik, displayed a completely different demeanor. When Young-sik mentioned he couldn't ride a bicycle, Young-ja coldly responded, "Is there anything you can do?" She also criticized his poor driving skills, suggesting, "Why don't you return this car to your friend?" During their meal, Young-ja brought up Young-soo, saying, "He told me I was always his first choice."

Frustrated by Young-sik's behavior, Young-ja expressed her anger. When Young-sik asked if they could eat pufferfish at home, Young-ja retorted, "Do you want to die? Pufferfish is poisonous. It's sold by specialists," with an incredulous look. After the date, Young-ja told the production team, "The date was so boring. I just wanted to go home. I wonder if I should have gotten to know someone else."

Meanwhile, Young-chul and Jung-sook went on a sauna date. Jung-sook coolly paid for the sauna fees as Young-chul had left his phone in the car. However, Young-chul kept focusing on the cameras, saying, "I feel like I have to show who I am." He even thanked other guests for not paying attention to them, leaving Jung-sook bewildered.

After the date, Young-chul told the production team that he appreciated Jung-sook's caring nature, likening her to Anna from 'Frozen.' However, Jung-sook lamented, "Oh, it was boring." In her interview, she added, "Young-chul isn't cute. He prioritized others' gazes and the cameras over our conversation, which made it uninteresting. My interest in him has decreased."
