24th season Ok-soon from 'I Am Solo' faced a crisis more challenging than the vast nature of Mongolia with Young-sik.
In the episode aired on the 11th, SBS Plus and ENA's entertainment program 'Stir-Frying Travel' (hereafter 'Stir-Fry Travel') showcased the war-like trip to Mongolia of 24th season Ok-soon and Young-sik, who encountered an 'unprecedented conflict' due to a finger injury.
On that day, the two enjoyed a romantic campfire. During this, 24th season Young-sik looked up at the night sky and asked, "Don't you remember our first meeting?" 24th season Ok-soon cynically replied, "I've forgotten everything."
Feeling hurt, 24th season Young-sik retorted, "You forgot everything? I remember everything," and then calmly added, "Thank you for coming to 'Stir-Fry Travel.' You could have refused."
24th season Ok-soon responded, "There was no reason to refuse. It's fun," but immediately after, 24th season Young-sik expressed his disappointment in front of the production team, saying, "I felt a bit hurt. You didn't have to ask me to accept you; you could have just said, 'I remember our first meeting.'
A little later, 24th season Young-sik tried to put out the campfire but accidentally grabbed a hot stone with his hand. He screamed, "Ouch, that's hot," and complained about burning his finger. However, 24th season Ok-soon dismissed his whining, saying, "You can just go to sleep."
24th season Young-sik immediately went into the ger (yurt) and poured the bottled water he had been saving over his finger, while 24th season Ok-soon only gave him a little water, making him feel neglected.
At that moment, the Mongolian guide, Ms. Mi-joo, came to the ger and asked, "Is your finger okay?" while handing Young-sik disinfectant, burn ointment, and band-aids. She even disinfected his finger herself, to which 24th season Young-sik glanced at 24th season Ok-soon and remarked, "Some people don't even care," showing his lingering resentment. He then blew on his finger in front of the camera.
Seeing this, 24th season Ok-soon joked, "Are you really broadcasting this? I really hate it." 24th season Young-sik quickly responded, "I'm really in pain," and 24th season Ok-soon countered, "I'm also in pain. My tailbone is scraped and bleeding," referring to her earlier horseback riding experience that caused her skin to peel off.
In response to 24th season Ok-soon's cold reaction, 24th season Young-sik made a serious expression and confessed, "To be honest, when the guide was treating me earlier, I wanted to be with her. I wanted to send you (outside)." 24th season Ok-soon coolly replied, "Okay, have fun with the guide."
Angry, Young-sik asked, "You said you were falling out of love with me, right?" activating his 'brain theory,' and 24th season Ok-soon corrected him, saying, "I didn't say I was falling out of love. I said I really hate it!" Young-sik then said, "Don't live like that. I'm really falling out of love," and 24th season Ok-soon rebutted, "You said you were falling out of love."
Frustrated, 24th season Ok-soon finally said in front of the production team, "(Young-sik's) stubborn behavior is really annoying. Once we get back to Korea, I will block his contact. I dislike people who blame others. I won't have any personal meetings with him in the future."
The two, with hurt feelings, went to sleep and prepared to head to the Gobi Desert the next day. At that time, 24th season Young-sik brought two 500ml bottles of water and additional water, using it generously, while 24th season Ok-soon pointed out Young-sik's clumsiness, saying, "Of course, touching the hot stone from the campfire would be hot."
In response, 24th season Young-sik said, "I was trying to remove the stone because I thought it might bother you," once again mentioning 24th season Ok-soon. An enraged 24th season Ok-soon snapped, "I wish you wouldn't make excuses for me," and 24th season Young-sik lamented, "I did all that, and you didn't even ask if I was okay."
In the tense atmosphere, guide Ms. Mi-joo arrived with a hearty breakfast. 24th season Ok-soon, who had been suffering from a cold throughout the Mongolian trip, suggested eating inside the ger, but 24th season Young-sik, who valued 'atmosphere,' wanted to eat outside.
The two decided to settle the meal location with rock-paper-scissors, and after a fierce battle, 24th season Young-sik emerged victorious. 24th season Ok-soon tried hard to lift her spirits but ended up shivering from the cold while eating.
Afterward, the two got into a 4x4 vehicle and headed towards the Gobi Desert. When Ms. Mi-joo asked, "How's your injured hand?" 24th season Young-sik replied, "Thank you so much," with heart-shaped eyes. He then asked Ms. Mi-joo's age and flirted, saying, "What do you think of a two-year younger guy who doesn't check compatibility?" and "If you come to my hometown, Busan, I'll show you around the whole course."
Even after that, the two maintained a chilly atmosphere and had a second battle in front of the camera inside the vehicle, arguing about who was in more pain. Then, 24th season Young-sik openly targeted 24th season Ok-soon, saying, "Don't try to create an image."
In the preview released immediately after, the two, who had just experienced their first camel ride, were seen fighting seriously, with 24th season Young-sik crying, raising curiosity for the next broadcast.
The 'crazy travelogue' of 24th season Ok-soon and Young-sik, which devastated Mongolia, can be seen on 'Stir-Frying Travel' airing on the 18th at 8:40 PM.
