On ‘Nasolsagye’, the ‘popular man and woman’, 20th-class Young-sik and 25th-class Young-ja, decisively cut off other singles besides each other, reshaping the latter-half lovelines of the ‘Solo Guesthouse’.

On the 7th, SBS Plus and ENA aired ‘I Am SOLO, Then Love Continues’ (hereinafter ‘Nasolsagye’), in which the single men and women of the ‘Solo Guesthouse - One More Time Special’ used ‘Four Seasons Date Passes’ to make a last-minute romantic sprint.

On day three at the ‘Solo Guesthouse’, 20th-class Young-sik went to pick up 25th-class Young-ja, who was on a ‘Four Seasons Date’ with 13th-class Sang-cheol. After a date ‘baton touch’, 20th-class Young-sik moved to a cafe with 25th-class Young-ja for a serious talk. 20th-class Young-sik began, saying, “I am thinking we should talk about something a bit heavy today,” then asked, “When do you want to get married, and do you have plans for children?” 25th-class Young-ja laughed, saying, “I would like to get married even tomorrow~.” When 20th-class Young-sik said, “I want to have three children,” 25th-class Young-ja responded with a sympathetic flirt, “Me too, three!” 20th-class Young-sik then probed, “If offers for group-buying or advertising come in, will you take them?” 25th-class Young-ja replied, “Honestly, I used to accept sponsorships, saying they were ‘a sweet deal’. But I am not going to be an influencer, so from now on I will not do it.” She continued, “I absolutely did not come out for promotional purposes. I am going to focus on my work,” emphasizing the sincerity of her appearance on ‘Nasolsagye’.

Having gotten the answers he wanted, 20th-class Young-sik asked, “I have another question. Do you smoke? Do you have more tattoos?” 25th-class Young-ja said, “I do not smoke, and I do have some small additional tattoos. I saw a celebrity’s tattoo and thought it was pretty, so I got one too. Now I want to remove it, but the procedure costs are expensive. If you pay, I will get the tattoo removed. I will handle the pain~,” she joked. 20th-class Young-sik reacted coolly, “You should reap what you sow.” After the date, he told the production staff, “If the person who will be my lifelong other half says, ‘I got a tattoo to look cool,’ that feels not quite right. I am seriously torn about whether to see 25th-class Young-ja as a romantic interest or as an immature little sister.”

Without a date scheduled, 17th-class Sun-ja came out to the shared living room in the morning, prepared a meal, and did the dishes. 27th-class Young-cheol hovered around her, saying, “I feel bad,” and “I will help,” looking after her. Meanwhile, 13th-class Sang-cheol returned from his date with 25th-class Young-ja and, while eating a late meal alone near the kitchen, listened to the singles’ conversation. At that moment, 15th-class Young-cheol asked about 27th-class Hyeon-suk’s state of mind, and 27th-class Hyeon-suk said coldly, “I am all out! I am going to start again from zero now?” Regarding this, 13th-class Sang-cheol confided to the production staff, “I knew that was 27th-class Hyeon-suk’s signal to talk with me, but after hearing that ‘all out’ comment, I thought, ‘Then I do not really have to either?’”

After breakfast, 17th-class Sun-ja shared with 13th-class Sang-cheol how difficult it was feeling caught between 20th-class Young-sik and 27th-class Young-cheol. When 13th-class Sang-cheol asked, “If you had another date pass, whom would you use it on?” 17th-class Sun-ja answered, “20th-class Young-sik.” Just then, 27th-class Young-cheol came in and asked 17th-class Sun-ja to talk. He carefully proposed, “After I go on a date with 25th-class Young-ja a bit later, I would like to talk with 17th-class Sun-ja.” 17th-class Sun-ja coolly agreed, saying, “Sounds good.” Immediately afterward, 27th-class Young-cheol happily headed out for a ‘Four Seasons Date’ with 25th-class Young-ja. In the car, however, 25th-class Young-ja brought up 20th-class Young-sik, saying, “To be honest, there is someone I am more drawn to right now,” and 27th-class Young-cheol gave a bitter smile, saying, “I understand.” Having been turned down before they even ate, 27th-class Young-cheol asked, “But we first met on ‘Nasolsagye’, so why did you say you felt comfortable?” 25th-class Young-ja laughed and said, “Maybe because I had watched a lot of the (‘Nasolsagye’) show before coming here? I felt comfortable without realizing it.”

Around the same time, 25th-class Sun-ja went on a ‘Four Seasons Date’ with her ‘one pick’, 20th-class Young-sik. At an Idong-galbi restaurant in Pocheon, 20th-class Young-sik said, “I did not think you would use a ‘Four Seasons Date Pass’ on me, because I expressed my feelings (a rejection) yesterday,” looking flustered. 25th-class Sun-ja explained, “We had only had short conversations, so I wanted to do my best so that there would be no regrets.” In response, 20th-class Young-sik said, “I will turn off the burden switch. There was not one to begin with,” and emphasized again, “I think I already said my feelings yesterday. Our timing did not match.” At his near final-confirmation remark, 25th-class Sun-ja said sadly, “But you two are not a couple yet, right? I already feel like I have been dumped.” 20th-class Young-sik admitted, “Right, I went too far,” and then focused solely on eating.

Meanwhile, in the shared living room where everyone had gathered, 24th-class Sun-ja struck a ‘splayed-leg pose’, and 13th-class Sang-cheol offered a consoling joke, saying, “How did our 24th-class Sun-ja end up in a clown position?” 27th-class Hyeon-suk kept a straight face without laughing, and sensing the chill, 13th-class Sang-cheol went to his room to try to sleep. After he left, 27th-class Hyeon-suk poured out her frustration with 13th-class Sang-cheol to everyone, and 18th-class Young-ho and 17th-class Sun-ja comforted her and advised, “Try talking to him once.” After much deliberation, 27th-class Hyeon-suk mustered up the courage and approached 13th-class Sang-cheol first, saying, “Can we talk for a moment…” The two then had an open conversation about the misunderstandings that had built up between them.

13th-class Sang-cheol explained, “I had chosen 25th-class Young-ja, and I did not tell 27th-class Hyeon-suk in advance because you did not ask, so I did not say it. Maybe you were not curious. I made my choice, and apologizing for that would be strange.” He continued, “I went on a ‘Four Seasons Date’ with 25th-class Young-ja today, and everything I had been curious about was resolved. It may be fun here, but I am not sure about once we are out.” 27th-class Hyeon-suk smiled, saying, “Some of the misunderstandings have been resolved,” then asked, “If there is a woman’s date choice today, would you want to eat jjajangmyeon?” 13th-class Sang-cheol replied, “Why are you asking me that? Of course I would not want to.” Immediately afterward, 27th-class Hyeon-suk beamed before the production staff, saying, “My anger melted away,” signaling that she had reopened the possibility with 13th-class Sang-cheol.

With one day left until the final selections, the romance of the ‘Solo Guesthouse - One More Time Special’ will continue on ‘Nasolsagye’, airing on Thursday the 14th at 10:30 p.m. on SBS Plus and ENA.
