The 27th season of ‘I Am Solo’ opened the 'Era of Chaos' with the 'Self-Introduction Time'.
On the broadcast of ENA and SBS Plus's real dating program ‘I Am Solo’ on the 16th, the love lines of 'Solo Nara No. 27' were revealed after confirming each other's personal details.
On this day, the 27th season began the first date selection after the 'Self-Introduction Time'. As the solo men started choosing their dates, Jeong-sook, who had swept 4 votes in the first impression, only received picks from Kwang-soo and Sang-cheol due to her living in Pohang, which posed a 'long-distance issue'.
Soon-ja received a choice from Young-sik as usual, while Ok-soon became the 'New All Kill Woman' by getting votes from Young-soo, Young-ho, and Young-cheol. In contrast, Young-sook, Young-ja, and Hyun-sook remained at '0 votes', with Hyun-sook expressing her disappointment, saying, "It seems like the men here don't like strong styles. There isn't a 'strong man' who can handle us."
A little later, Kwang-soo and Sang-cheol began a '2:1 date' with Jeong-sook. In the car on the way to the restaurant, Kwang-soo passionately appealed, saying he graduated from university in Pohang, where Jeong-sook lives, and that he wanted to return to Pohang after having a happy college life. Sang-cheol, lacking common ground, focused quietly on driving, and after arriving at the restaurant, they discussed each other's views on dating.
At this point, Sang-cheol said, "I like the feeling of becoming part of each other's daily lives," but when Jeong-sook asked, "Is that kind of relationship possible when you're close?" regarding 'long-distance', Sang-cheol couldn't deny it. On the other hand, Kwang-soo provided a tailored response, saying, "What's important is whether you have the will to overcome it."
Riding the momentum, Kwang-soo mustered the courage to ask Jeong-sook during their '1:1 date' if he was in her top 1-3 preferences. Jeong-sook replied, "I think I've been thinking about you since the self-introduction," and added, "I think it would be good to talk to other people. I would do the same," which left Kwang-soo feeling dejected. In an interview with the production team, he expressed his disappointment, saying, "I think her saying to get to know others means rejection."
Next, Sang-cheol, who had a '1:1 conversation' with Jeong-sook, ambiguously appealed, "I didn't want to completely avoid talking because of the physical limitations of long-distance. Let's just go with the flow for now..." Jeong-sook, disappointed, suggested, "Let's just go back to the accommodation," and ended the conversation first.
Young-sik and Soon-ja confirmed their chemistry with a perfect 'tiki-taka' on various topics, from dieting to skincare. After the date, Young-sik expressed satisfaction in front of the production team, saying, "She is the one I have the highest rational attraction to," and Soon-ja, who even imagined a 'half-joking, half-serious conversation about having kids' with Young-sik, revealed that her attraction had increased, saying, "I don't think Young-sik will ever eat Jajangmyeon. It would hurt my heart to see him eat it."
During a '3:1 date' with Young-soo, Young-ho, and Young-cheol, Ok-soon detailed her views on dating. She mentioned, "I can't date a guy who rides a motorcycle, has a regular club, or dislikes animals," stating her own conditions. However, Ok-soon also expressed, "I hope there is a man who can break all these conditions."
Next, during a '1:1 conversation', Ok-soon honestly shared with 'Busan man' Young-cheol, "I'm worried because I've never done long-distance." Young-cheol's energy dropped significantly, and when Young-soo entered the '1:1 conversation', he was surprised by Ok-soon's accurate analysis that she thought he seemed "cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Immediately after, Young-soo said in front of the production team, "She seems slow, but I realized she knows everything. So, I felt okay in terms of attraction."
Finally, during a '1:1 conversation' with Young-ho, Ok-soon complimented him, saying, "You have to be smart to make others laugh. Regardless of your dating choice, I had an attraction." Young-ho was touched, saying, "I think you understood that being light isn't really light."
After the date, Ok-soon told the production team, "Young-ho is treating me well, but I don't see any information beyond that," and added, "Young-soo is an attractive person, and Sang-cheol is someone I have feelings for."
After the first date, the solo men and women gathered in the common living room and formed teams through rock-paper-scissors for a '3:3 random date'. During this time, Young-cheol called Jeong-sook aside for a '1:1 conversation'. Hailing from Pohang and currently living in Busan, Young-cheol quickly became closer to 'Pohang woman' Jeong-sook.
Around the same time, Young-ja subtly requested a conversation with Kwang-soo, who was going outside. The two complimented each other's looks and impressions, creating a sweet atmosphere. Sang-cheol and Ok-soon also found it interesting that they had mutual feelings and similar dating tendencies, but when Ok-soon asked Sang-cheol whether he was attracted to the same or opposite tendencies, Sang-cheol replied, "Opposite," which left Ok-soon feeling bitter. Young-sik continued to talk with Hyun-sook, who had '0 votes', and Soon-ja couldn't hide her anxious expression while watching them.
Meanwhile, Jeong-sook, while everyone was gathered, demonstrated her 'flirting skill' by saying, "It's cold," and snuggling into Sang-cheol's padded jacket. Ok-soon, who witnessed this directly, was taken aback and left the scene. A little later, before going to sleep, Sang-cheol expressed his concerns to the other solo men about the long-distance issue with Jeong-sook, saying, "Is it right for me to go?" and Young-soo firmly replied, "I don't think so."
In the preview released immediately after, Young-cheol, Kwang-soo, and Young-sik were seen calling Jeong-sook one after another, saying, "I wanted to talk," raising curiosity about the upcoming 'Jeong-sook War' next week.
The romance war surrounding 'Pohang woman' Jeong-sook can be confirmed on the broadcast of ‘I Am Solo’ on the 23rd at 10:30 PM.
