On ‘Nasolsa-gye’, the male cast members chose Young-ja from the 25th class.

On the broadcast on the 12th, SBS Plus·ENA ‘I Am SOLO, Then Love Continues’ (hereafter ‘Nasolsa-gye’) kicked off its fifth ‘One More Special’ at the ‘Solo Guesthouse’ in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province.

That day, Young-sik from the 20th class appeared for the first time in about two years, looking notably different. He said, “I lost about 10kg through exercise,” and, “This time, rather than focusing too much on one person, I want to get to know several people more broadly.”

25th class Young-ja, who drew buzz as the ‘Jinju Goddess’, entered the ‘Solo Guesthouse’ as her father saw her off. Showing off a gentler look with long hair, she said, “After the broadcast, I took time to reflect on myself. This time, I want to be prudent in getting to know someone and convey my sincere feelings.” Soon after, she showed her sweetness by giving hot packs as gifts not only to the men at the ‘Solo Guesthouse’ but also to the women.

In addition, 24th class Soon-ja picked 20th class Young-sik as the man she wanted to meet at the ‘Solo Guesthouse’. Later, as if by fate, when 20th class Young-sik appeared to pull her suitcase, 24th class Soon-ja could not hide her ‘heart eyes’. She told the production team, “This is a big deal. I am a woman who knows only how to go straight,” expressing strong interest.

In particular, she revealed, “In fact, among ‘I Am SOLO’ cast members, the only person I ever sent a DM to was 20th class Young-sik. When I briefly did YouTube, I contacted him under the pretext of booking, but we ultimately did not meet,” drawing attention.

Among the female cast members, including 24th class Soon-ja, 20th class Young-sik became the center of attention. As several women showed interest, a de facto ‘all votes for Young-sik’ atmosphere took shape.

By contrast, the male participants gravitated toward 25th class Young-ja. While sharing their initial picks in the room for the men, everyone named 25th class Young-ja as their top first-impression pick, drawing concentrated interest.

15th class Young-cheol asked 20th class Young-sik, “What is your ideal type?” and Young-sik answered, “Soft peach type? I like someone with a gentle vibe like actor Park Eun-bin.”

He went on, “At first I said 17th class Soon-ja, but after receiving a hot pack, 25th class Young-ja came to mind,” drawing attention.

With 20th class Young-sik attracting attention from the women and 25th class Young-ja sweeping the votes from the men, a subtle dynamic has emerged, and with 24th class Soon-ja additionally declaring a straight-ahead approach, interest is centering on how the love lines will develop.

Meanwhile, the romance among the experienced cast members on ‘Nasolsa-gye’ continues in the broadcast at 10:30 p.m. on the 19th.
