'I Am Solo' Season 27's Youngsoo and Jeongsuk have finally become the 'final couple' after a long journey.
In the broadcast of ENA and SBS Plus 'I Am SOLO' on the 27th, Youngsoo and Jeongsuk, Sangcheol and Oksun were crowned as the 'final couples.'
On the fifth day at 'Solo Nara No. 27', Youngsoo had a '2:1 date' with Jeongsuk and Youngja, and then entered into a '1:1 conversation' with Jeongsuk. He expressed to Jeongsuk, "I spent more time with Youngja and we communicated well, but strangely, I wasn't nervous," hinting at his intention to end his relationship with Youngja. Jeongsuk replied, "I feel the same way," mentioning her comfortable interactions with Gwangsoo and Youngcheol.
Youngsoo asked, "How many people are you currently concerned about?" and Jeongsuk revealed, "As of today, there is only one person I care about," indicating her feelings for Youngsoo. Following this, Youngsoo entered a '1:1 conversation' with Youngja and directly stated, "If I had to choose between the two, it would be Jeongsuk." Youngja responded, "I knew that," and advised, "Make sure to help Jeongsuk so her mind doesn't get complicated," showing her consideration for Youngsoo until the end.
Youngcheol, who ate 'lonely gourmet food' alone at the accommodation, expressed to the production team, "Everything here is '0 votes' except for what I chose. I didn't spend any money on date meals," falling into self-doubt. Shortly after, Gwangsoo and Sunja came to comfort Youngcheol after their date, and Youngcheol confessed, "Honestly, I was upset with Jeongsuk."
Meanwhile, Jeongsuk came to the common living room to talk to Youngcheol, but she misunderstood that he was saying bad things about her, unable to hide her stern expression. Jeongsuk said, "I feel really bad," and called Youngsik to seek advice about Youngcheol.
Jeongsuk lamented to Youngsik, "I couldn't tell him 'no' clearly. But is that such a wrong thing?" and shed tears. At that moment, Youngho approached Jeongsuk to comfort her, suddenly confessing, "The ideal type I wanted turned out to be exactly Jeongsuk." Jeongsuk was taken aback, but after finishing her conversation with Youngho, she returned to the common living room and turned on 'cuddly mode' with Youngsoo.
Watching this, Youngcheol complained to Hyunsuk, "Jeongsuk doesn't even look at me or make eye contact. It feels like a power struggle." Hyunsuk advised, "You could just start a conversation first. What's so prideful about saying, 'I'm upset with you'?" Realizing this, Youngcheol immediately requested a conversation with Jeongsuk.
In the cold air, Youngcheol honestly confessed, "I am upset." Jeongsuk replied, "I like being with Youngcheol, but it felt like we were a couple who had been together for about three years. I should have clearly said that it was a 'comfortable feeling'." She continued, "I felt comfortable with Youngcheol, but I had a rational attraction to Youngsoo," clearly explaining her feelings. Youngcheol, seemingly in disbelief, repeatedly asked Jeongsuk to continue sharing her feelings. Around the same time, Gwangsoo also showed signs of giving up on Jeongsuk, saying, "I said I would endure long-distance, but if I don't feel excitement, then there's no answer."
On the day of the final selection, Youngcheol woke up early and bought a bouquet of 'Zana Rose', which symbolizes 'eternal love'. Jeongsuk called Youngcheol again and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry if I made it hard for you unintentionally," regarding her late realization of her feelings. Youngcheol handed her the bouquet he had prepared, saying, "This is the flower I originally wanted to give you."
He then presented a bouquet of yellow roses, which symbolize 'farewell to a friend', along with a letter saying, "I will miss you." Confirming Youngcheol's sincerity, Jeongsuk burst into tears. Seeing this, Youngsoo said to Jeongsuk, "I was going to give you flowers first. Mine is this small, what should I do?" and presented her with a small bouquet along with a cat grip talk and couple rabbit keyring.
Sangcheol appealed to Oksun with a card saying, "I want to create our own pace and atmosphere, carefully but quickly," along with a cute heart balloon he made himself. Following this, Youngsik woke up early to serve drinks according to Hyunsuk's taste and remembered that Hyunsuk said her hobby was flower arrangement, so he presented her with a bouquet he made himself. Touched by Youngsik's sincerity, Hyunsuk finally burst into tears.
In the final selection, Youngsik went straight to Hyunsuk, saying, "I will take you as my one and only into my world." However, Hyunsuk felt that "five nights and six days were too short to get to know one person," and decided to forgo the final selection, with Youngsook, Youngja, Sunja, and Youngho also not making final selections.
Sangcheol headed towards Oksun, saying, "I'm looking for a good partner," and Oksun responded, "Oppa! Let's be close~," becoming the first 'final couple'. Youngcheol and Gwangsoo, who had pursued Jeongsuk until the end, both decided to forgo the final selection, while Youngsoo and Jeongsuk chose each other, becoming the second final couple.
Wrapping up the tumultuous romance of Season 27, 'I Am SOLO' is set to return with a 'legend-breaking' special featuring 'divorced singles' in Season 28.
