Episode 7 of ‘I’m Solo’ drew attention with unpredictable romance. Jeongsuk drew a line for Sangcheol.
In the real dating program ‘I’m Solo (SOLO)’ broadcasted on the 27th by NQQ and SBS Plus, 12 solo men and women enjoyed a second date.
Sang-cheol and Young-soo, who had enjoyed a 2:1 date with Jeong-sook earlier, had a subtle nerve battle over exercise from early in the morning. Afterwards, the two made a morning toast for Jeong-sook and checked each other again. Sang-cheol, who was in a hurry, eventually summoned Jeong-suk separately and asked, “Do you have anyone else on your mind?” After Jung-sook answered, “Yes,” she said frankly, “Sang-cheol feels like a better brother to me than the opposite sex.” In response, Sang-cheol politely said, “He tries to do well with him, and if it doesn’t work, give me a chance too.”
Kyung-soo, who was watching the two of them nearby, immediately asked Jeong-sook to have a 1:1 conversation. Kyungsoo confessed, “It was frustrating because the atmosphere was too careful, and it felt like a turning point was needed.” “To be honest, I’ve been (likeable) Kyungsoo since the first day, and he chose someone else,” she said, as she pondered. Kyungsoo explained, “I also told the production team that (the girl I like) was Oksun-nim and Jeongsuk-nim when I made my first impression selection. I chose Oksun because I didn’t know too much about it.”
Sang-cheol, who was politely rejected by Jeong-suk, approached Young-ja. Sang-cheol talked to Young-ja about her dating experience. Afterwards, in an interview with the production team, he explained, “I saw a person (仁) from Youngja, so I wanted to know a little more.” MC Defconn, who was watching Sang-cheol’s change of heart, trembled, saying, “You gently stab me here and there.”
After a while, the production team gathered all the solo men and women and proceeded to choose a second date. Here, single women looked at past photos of single men they chose on their first day of entering Solo Nara. Jeongsuk chose Kyungsoo, Oksunun Yeongsik, Youngsuk Kwangsoo, Youngja Yeongsu, and Soonja Yeongho. The five couples went on a one-on-one date.
However, Sang-cheol, who became somewhat uncomfortable with the matching result of Young-ja and Young-su, returned to the dormitory and told Young-su, “Come and be nice to Young-ja. Do you have no feelings for Young-ja?” At this, Young-soo responded, “Isn’t it possible to have a heart?” and resumed the tense fight. Surprised by the serious yet hot romance in their 40s, the MCs said, “It’s tight.”
Ok-soon succeeded in dating Yeong-sik, whom she was interested in. Young-sik prepared a course that would satisfy her Ok-soon, from a Korean restaurant near Solo Nara 7 to a foot bath cafe. The two enjoyed a friendly date on a variety of topics. However, in an interview with the production team after her date, Young-sik revealed the truth behind the reversal, saying, “Ok-soon, who was chosen by four people, showed interest in me, but I was less excited. It felt like the conversation came to life and then stopped.” On the other hand, she expressed a strong liking for Ok-soon, saying, “She has never thought of her as clearly as Young-sik-nim.” Defconn’s Lee Yi-kyung and Song Hae-na were perplexed about the extreme date later.
Kwang-soo and Young-sook gave a fresh shock with an extraordinary date. On behalf of Kwang-soo, who brought his father’s car, Young-sook escorted him and took the steering wheel. In addition, Young-sook opened and closed the door directly for her Kwang-soo. Even after her meal, Young-sook slowly dressed and paid at high speed instead of Kwang-soo wearing a mask, and she took him to the front of the dormitory. Lee Yi-kyung lamented, “If (Kwang-soo) gave me a lead…” In an interview with the production team, Young-sook also revealed her disappointment, saying, “She expected a warm reversal charm in her freedom, but it was just what I expected.”
Soon-ja, who didn’t want an academy instructor to die, went on a date with Yeong-ho, a math instructor, on a thin ice sheet. Soon-ja said, “I thought ‘we shouldn’t talk about academy'” and Yeong-ho said, “Okay.” Afterwards, Young-soo and Young-ja enjoyed a cable car date and took selfies like real lovers, increasing their affinity for each other.
Jeong-sook and Kyung-soo-eun enjoyed a date bursting with excitement. The two, who had already confirmed their feelings for each other, had a serious conversation about dating and marriage. Jeong-sook actively agreed with Kyung-soo’s view of marriage, saying, “I want to become a son-in-law like a son, and a daughter-in-law like a daughter.” After the date, Kyungsoo confessed that he was “a comfortable and good person”, and Jungsook also said, “He is similar to my ideal figure.”
After returning from all the dates, at No. 7 Solo Nara, Yeongho could not control his tension and performed a gag performance while wearing only his underwear. Kyungsoo responded positively from the side, and broke down together. Soon-ja, who had returned from a date with Young-ho, responded coldly, saying, “It was terrifying personally.” Jeongsuk also reacted bitterly, saying, “It wasn’t my code, but Kyungsoo said it was so much fun.”
The romance of the 7th season continues at ‘I’m Solo’, which will be broadcast on the 4th of next month at 10:30 PM.
