The ‘Happy Life’ of Hyun-sook from Season 10 of ‘I’m SOLO’ and Kwang-soo from Season 25 has been revealed.
In the episode aired on the 17th, SBS Plus and ENA's entertainment program ‘I’m SOLO, and Love Continues’ showcased the daily lives of Kwang-soo, the only doctor in Inje, Gangwon-do, enjoying a pollution-free life, and Hyun-sook, who is expecting a child with her younger husband.
Kwang-soo, the only doctor in Girin-myeon, Inje-gun, Gangwon-do, welcomed patients at his hospital that day. There was no one in the neighborhood, including elderly residents and elementary school students, who did not know about Kwang-soo's appearance on ‘I’m SOLO’, and he shared, “I was so busy reflecting on myself from the show that I needed time to adjust.”
He continued, “I went to the military as a public health doctor, and I liked the environment and the relationships with patients I felt there, so I started looking for rural areas. Then I found this place with good air to escape from fine dust,” explaining why he opened a hospital in Inje, located at an altitude of 500-600 meters.
Kwang-soo's hospital, which sees an average of over 100 patients a day, was bustling even before it opened. Patients expressed their fondness, saying, “I’ve been here so often that I think of Kwang-soo as a younger brother,” and “I can’t do without him.” One patient even shared a story about personally delivering ginseng to Kwang-soo, expressing gratitude, “You saved my life. I’ve come back from the brink several times. I need to repay this kindness. You’re doing so well, you’ll be blessed.”
Amid his busy schedule, Kwang-soo went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch with a friend. Before the menu arrived, he stepped outside to take pictures of swallows. Afterward, he took countless photos of the swallows that gathered around him. At that moment, he revealed his ‘Swallow Uncle’ side, saying, “When I come out, the swallows come to me,” bringing laughter. During the meal, Kwang-soo's friend supported his marriage, saying, “If I were a woman, I would have dated you.”
After the meal, Kwang-soo took a short break to do some quick exercises and even read an art magazine thoroughly. Following that, after finishing an impressive 111 consultations, he went out for a second round of swallow photography after work. He then headed to the swimming pool, showcasing his ‘seal-level’ swimming skills, completing a day packed with activities.
Upon returning home, Kwang-soo revealed his ‘maximalist’ home filled with toys, clothes, paintings, various computer parts, and alcohol. While pouring himself a whiskey and editing swallow photos, he enjoyed some healing time. Kwang-soo briefly showed a drop in energy, saying, “The prospects for future marriage or childbirth seem bleak,” but then regained his determination, saying, “For now, I’ll manage my sperm and meet a woman.”
Following Kwang-soo, the ‘full-term’ prenatal life of Hyun-sook from Season 10, who married in March this year, was showcased. The three MCs, Defconn, Kyungri, and Yoon Bomi, congratulated Hyun-sook as she proudly showed off her baby bump. Despite being heavily pregnant, Hyun-sook was teaching K-pop dance in after-school classes, revealing her positive mindset, “I’m the type who gains energy by moving, so if I don’t move, it’s harder for me.”
Shortly after, upon arriving at her newlywed home, Hyun-sook showed a picture of her ‘younger husband’, proudly stating, “What I’m most proud of is my husband’s good looks!” Preparing for the birth of her daughter ‘Pong-pong’, Hyun-sook explained, “I named her Pong-pong so she can jump around in my belly.”
At that moment, with the sound of the door lock, Hyun-sook’s husband entered the house, boasting an idol-like appearance. The two raised their energy with a warm hug and a ‘dance of joy’. Hyun-sook’s husband, a modern dance major, works as a CEO in the food service industry during the day and as a modern dancer at night, being a ‘dual jobber’. Hyun-sook shared their fateful love story, saying, “We were originally just a sister-brother relationship, and seven years ago when we performed together, we had no interest in each other. We met again after seven years, and that’s when our hearts opened.”
Unlike Hyun-sook, who is ‘remarried’, her husband, who is ‘first-time married’, said, “There wasn’t really any opposition from my family; they supported us a lot.” Hyun-sook expressed, “I felt reassured by my husband’s stability, who promised to marry me no matter the reason,” and smiled, “Who would stop love?” She even added a shocking backstory that she had sent a wedding invitation to her current husband during her first wedding, surprising everyone.
The two, who share the same dance teacher, held hands tightly and went out to her husband’s rehearsal studio. Afterward, Hyun-sook visited the hospital for a check-up and received good news that she would be able to have a natural birth without any issues, meeting her sister and her cute niece. Both Hyun-sook and her sister, who is also pregnant with her second child, shared a ‘100% empathy’ conversation about their upcoming children.
Finally, Hyun-sook sent a video message to her daughter ‘Pong-pong’, who is due in August, saying, “Mom and Dad will love you a lot.” The preview that followed captured the brave 1988-born female participants who came to ‘Nasol Saga’ after ‘I’m SOLO’, raising expectations for the romance that will begin in the new ‘Solo Minbak’.
The ‘Solo Minbak’ special featuring 1988-born female participants from ‘I’m SOLO’ will air on the 24th at 10:30 PM on SBS Plus and ENA in ‘I’m SOLO, and Love Continues’.
