In the SBS Plus·ENA real dating program 'I Am SOLO' Season 27, Youngcheol has begun his pink rush towards Jeongsook.
In the broadcast on the night of the 20th at 10:30 PM, Youngcheol will be seen getting lost in happy fantasies, even mentioning marriage during a one-on-one date.
Previously, Jeongsook actively appealed to Youngcheol, saying, "Use the super date ticket on me~," to which he responded that he would use one of the two 'super date tickets' he had. As they entered the super date, Youngcheol couldn't hide his excitement, saying, "Thank you for using it because Jeongsook came in first." Even when a work call came in, he focused solely on Jeongsook, saying, "I don't care! This is more important~."
The two continued their date enjoying traditional tea at Jeongeup's 'Ssanghwa Tea Street.' Youngcheol said, "I have a holiday from May 3rd to 6th, so let's hang out then~," marking their meeting schedule after filming, and mentioned, "If we get married, it will be in Pohang, right?" Jeongsook was taken aback by the sudden question, but Youngcheol referred to the tradition of holding weddings in the bride's region, saying, "Because of the Gyeongsangdo culture."
Youngcheol continued his romantic advances, even mentioning the psychological term that positive expectations can lead to reality, saying, "There is the Pygmalion effect."
In response, MC Defconn joked, "This isn't Pygmalion, this is Pimalion!" Youngcheol's actions, which surprised the three MCs Defconn, Lee Ik-kyung, and Song Haena, have viewers curious about the impact on Jeongsook.
