The 31st cohort of ‘I Am SOLO’ heads out on its long-awaited first dates.
On Wednesday the 15th at 10:30 p.m., the ENA·SBS Plus reality dating program ‘I Am SOLO’ will unveil the first dates of the 31st class of single men and women.
With Kyung-su, the ‘31st class Gong Yoo look-alike’, having already captured the attention of the female singles, this first date selection will be decided by the women. As a result, the likelihood of a ‘many-to-one date’ centered on Kyung-su is expected to rise, and in fact the female singles sound each other out inside the lodging, saying, “I wonder who will end up in the many-to-one”, “Are we playing a game of reading each other among ourselves?” Watching this, MC Song Hae-na worries, “Is everyone going to Kyung-su?” Defconn, too, sees through the complex feelings of the female singles, remarking, “I can practically hear the women thinking hard.”
As curiosity builds over what strategies the female singles will use to avoid the ‘many-to-one date’, the MCs cannot hide their bewilderment as a string of unexpected twist match-ups occurs. Soon after, however, Defconn cheers on an unlikely couple, saying, “The vibe does not quite match, but once they actually go on a date, it could be different.” A little later, the ‘popular guy’ Kyung-su also makes a date request, saying, “I am lonely~”, and attention turns to whether a ‘Team Kyung-su’ will form and how many will choose him.
Meanwhile, a sudden ‘early departure’ also occurs during a date. During a date, after receiving an urgent phone call, one female single says, “I am sorry, but I think I have to go”, and decides to leave early. Curiosity intensifies amid the urgent situation at ‘Solonara No. 31’, which has produced the first-ever early departure.
Meanwhile, the episode of ‘I Am SOLO’ aired on the 8th recorded an average rating of 3.5% (combined figure for ENA·SBS Plus among pay-TV households in the Seoul metropolitan area), according to Nielsen Korea, with a minute-by-minute peak reaching 4.15%. In the target demographic ‘men and women 20-49’, it also ranked No. 1 overall at 2.02%, showcasing overwhelming popularity.
The romance of the 31st cohort, intense enough to be called a ‘jealousy special’, can be seen on ‘I Am SOLO’, airing Wednesday the 15th at 10:30 p.m. on ENA and SBS Plus.
