‘NaSolSaGye’ is showcasing an unpredictable ‘twisted romance’ until the very end.
In the episode aired on the 9th, the SBS Plus and ENA entertainment program ‘I am SOLO, and love continues’ (hereafter ‘NaSolSaGye’) depicted the situation of ‘Solo Minbak’ falling into a ‘swamp of worries’ just before the ‘final choice’.
On this day, Mr. Kwon expressed his disappointment to the other Mr. contestants about not being able to clear up misunderstandings with 23rd Ok-soon. At a similar time, 24th Ok-soon also told her ‘roommate’ 11th Young-sook and 23rd Soon-ja, “I want to talk to Mr. Kwon,” and asked, “Has any female contestant ever told a male contestant, ‘You are in a fishing pond’?”
This was meant to reveal the truth to the men trapped in ‘23rd Ok-soon’s fishing pond’, but 23rd Soon-ja and 11th Young-sook raised their voices against 23rd Ok-soon, who seemed to have put their crushes, Mr. Kwon and Mr. Han, in the fishing pond. Eventually, 11th Young-sook expressed her disappointment towards 23rd Ok-soon, saying, “Why do you keep making our baby (Mr. Han) cry! Did you come here just to find a match for yourself?”
Mr. Kwon pondered for a long time about 23rd Ok-soon and wrote his feelings on a card he had prepared in advance. He then handed the card to 23rd Ok-soon, who thanked him but did not read it, putting it in her bag. Regarding this, she revealed in an interview with the production team, “I didn’t want to give unnecessary room, so I intentionally didn’t look at it.”
The atmosphere between 25th Ok-soon and Mr. Yoon, which had become awkward due to Mr. Yoon's lingering feelings for 11th Young-sook, returned to a friendly vibe. Mr. Yoon asked, “What will you do with me when we go to Seoul?” and 25th Ok-soon replied, “I’ll show you the hot spots.” Mr. Yoon then happily responded, “Are you taking responsibility for me?”
Mr. Kim called 11th Young-sook out for a walk. 11th Young-sook handed him her lip balm again, just like the day before. Mr. Kim asked, “If there’s another situation where I have to choose (for a date) later, can I go to 11th Young-sook? But what if two people come?” 11th Young-sook playfully replied, “Should I tell them not to come?”
After eating in the shared kitchen, Mr. Kang quickly disappeared into his room. 23rd Ok-soon, sighing at Mr. Kang's continued ‘reclusive mode’, took out Mr. Kwon's card, which she had said she wouldn’t read, and read it. Immediately after, 23rd Ok-soon requested a conversation with Mr. Kwon, and 23rd Soon-ja, 24th Ok-soon, and 26th Soon-ja, who thought of 23rd Ok-soon as a ‘fishing pond girl’, kept a close watch on her.
23rd Ok-soon apologized to Mr. Kwon, saying, “I thought you were just a fun person based on your looks, so I didn’t think you deeply considered me. I’m sorry for having a preconceived notion.” Mr. Kwon expressed his regret about the timing always being off with 23rd Ok-soon, and she repeatedly apologized, saying, “I didn’t have the ability to judge people.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Kang briefly sought out 23rd Ok-soon before returning to his ‘lying down room’. 23rd Ok-soon complained, “Again today? Right now? I really don’t know,” and went to find Mr. Kang. She asked him, “Isn’t it strange to be so carefree? When you like someone, don’t you get curious about them?” Mr. Kang retorted, “What’s wrong with being okay? Do you have bipolar disorder?” causing not only 23rd Ok-soon but also the three MCs, Defconn, Kyungri, and Yoon Bomi, to grab their necks in shock.
At a similar time, 24th Ok-soon approached Mr. Kim and apologized, saying, “I asked you to choose me, but I’m sorry for choosing someone else.” At that moment, 11th Young-sook entered and appealed, “It’s too comfortable in this room, so I think I should go for a (love line) with Mr. Kim.” 24th Ok-soon, who belatedly noticed their pink atmosphere, quietly exited.
Afterward, 24th Ok-soon went to Mr. Je-gal to probe his thoughts on the ‘final choice’. Mr. Je-gal stated, “It’s absurd to say I’ll go all in on you after such a short time,” and revealed that he would not make a ‘final choice’. Regarding this, Mr. Je-gal expressed in front of the production team, “I have pride, and I didn’t want to be in a fishing pond,” and 24th Ok-soon, trying to maintain a cool demeanor, said, “I was worried because my feelings for Mr. Je-gal and Mr. Na were similar, but since Mr. Je-gal said he wouldn’t make a final choice…” Then she added, “I don’t know why, but since I came here, I really missed 24th Young-sik. I think about him a lot,” expressing her confusion.
Amidst the chaos, the production team announced a ‘last confession time’ where everyone could express their feelings before the final choice. First, Mr. Kwon shouted to 23rd Ok-soon, “I was disappointed that you misunderstood the day my parents gave me good genes. Live well!” Mr. Kim confessed, “11th Young-sook, I hope we can get to know each other a bit more from now on.”
Mr. Je-gal and Mr. Na both left messages for 24th Ok-soon. Mr. Yoon smiled, saying, “I think I came here well because I could meet you (25th Ok-soon).” On the other hand, Mr. Kang did not participate in the ‘confession time’. Angered by his passive attitude, 23rd Ok-soon scolded Mr. Kang during the ‘last confession time’, saying, “Get it together!” In the preview that followed, 11th Young-sook suddenly burst into tears during the ‘last confession time’, and 23rd Ok-soon also sobbed during the ‘final choice’, raising curiosity for the next broadcast.
The results of the final choice conducted as a ‘Golden 38 Special’ in ‘Solo Minbak’ can be confirmed on the 16th at 10:30 PM on SBS Plus and ENA in ‘I am SOLO, and love continues’.
