Young-suk of ‘I Am Solo’ Season 29 drew a line, saying she will not pivot to being an influencer after the show.

On the 4th, the YouTube channel ‘Chonjang Entertainment TV’ uploaded a video titled ‘How I felt when I watched the sleet with Mr. Young-cheol... Exclusive interview with Season 29’s Young-suk’.

Young-suk firmly stated that she has no plans for social media activity or group-buying after the broadcast, saying, “I have absolutely no intention of doing that.” She emphasized, “The reason I went on the program wasn’t for promotion or business; it was because I genuinely wanted to meet someone I love.”

She also shared pragmatic thoughts on sponsorships and group-buying. Young-suk said, “We’re all human, right? If someone offered me free clothes, I have thought that I might accept a sponsorship,” but added, “However, to achieve my ultimate goal, I don’t think I can do activities like group-buying. In the end, I have to write my thesis and focus on my studies.”

When the production team asked about her ultimate goal, Young-suk made clear her commitment to academics and research, saying, “It’s a dream, but my goal is to join a university and become a full professor.”

Regarding her dating life, she said, “There’s no one I’m meeting or in contact with at the moment.” She added, “If someone like that appears in the future, I want to love passionately then.”
