The 25th season of 'I'm SOLO' has started to write a pink new history.
On the broadcast of SBS Plus and ENA on the 5th, the 'hexagonal specs' of the solo men and women of season 25 who entered 'Solo Nara 25' were vividly revealed.
This 'Solo Nara 25' is set in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province, the capital of the Gaya Confederacy, where the vast Gimhae plain and Nakdong River beautifully unfold. The three MCs, Defcon, Lee Yi-kyung, and Song Hae-na, noted that the solo men of this 25th season are particularly 'cute,' heightening expectations, and amidst the intense interest, Young-soo made his appearance first. Wearing a floral backpack, Young-soo revealed in a pre-interview with the production team that 'his annual salary is about 500 million won. After tax, he receives about 30 to 40 million won a month and saves about 20 million won a month.' He also shared that he graduated from C Arts High School in music and has fantastic vocal skills. Next to appear was Young-ho, who introduced himself as a pharmacist, noting that his older sister is a doctor, revealing his 'medical family' background. He added, 'Although I am quite busy, I will make time. Even independence activists dated and got married, so what's stopping me?' expressing his willingness to marry.
Young-sik showcased his 'manly' side by saying he keeps the air conditioning on until October and asserted his proactive personality, stating, 'I've traveled to 52 countries. I like to live life as it comes.' Following him, Young-cheol revealed his career as a former K League 2 football player with a height of 188 cm and mentioned, 'The national team football player Kim Min-jae is my junior at Y University.' Additionally, he confessed that 'a pure and innocent style like that of 11th season Hyun-sook or 17th season Ok-sun is my ideal type.' Gwang-soo, who gave off an 'exemplary student' aura from the start, shared that he graduated from K University’s medical school and said, 'Studying is my hobby,' revealing that he obtained a master's degree in law while working as a public health doctor. Gwang-soo also introduced his profession as a painter and photographer, expressing a unique ideal type by saying, 'If someone has a bigger face than mine, it’s scary.' Lee Yi-kyung, observing Gwang-soo, exclaimed, 'He seems like an extremely rare character!' Sang-cheol, who appeared singing a folk song, jokingly said, 'I resemble Kim Woo-bin, who had a car accident and got hit by a car,' and then revealed his elite specs of achieving a perfect TOEIC score and being recruited by the major company L Chemical upon graduation. Furthermore, he explained his desperate reason for appearing on 'I'm SOLO,' saying, 'I don't have anyone special to contact personally.'
Once the entry of the solo men finished, the charming solo women appeared. The first to appear was Yeong-sook, who said in a pre-interview with the production team, 'I have an image of someone who plays a lot, but I study well, so I often hear it's a surprise. However, I'm definitely someone who knows how to have fun.' Next in line was Jeong-sook, but Defcon explained, 'There was no one who matched the image of Jeong-sook in this 25th season,' and welcomed Soon-ja. The pure and radiant Soon-ja expressed her yearning, saying, 'I really want to get married, and I wish my grandmother could be in my wedding photos,' showcasing her filial piety as she wishes to gift her marriage to her grandmother as 'the first granddaughter.'
Yeong-ja, who is from Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province, confidently stated, 'I've met all the good people in Jinju. Now, there's no one to date,' and added, 'I will never confess first, but I have many skills to steal hearts.' Ok-sun, who has a clean impression, is a flutist who has walked the path of playing the flute since elementary school. A graduate of a prestigious music college ranked first in the U.S., Ok-sun revealed, 'I've never been to places like clubs,' showcasing her 'Confucian girl' persona. Hyun-sook, with a decisive impression, revealed she is a 6th grade public servant in Seoul City, stating, 'My ideal type is a man who can be respected. I'd rather not meet public servants.' Instead of Jeong-sook, a new name appearing in 'Solo Nara 25' was Mi-kyung, who had a model-like slender figure and a charming eye smile. Mi-kyung confessed her love history, saying, 'I have dated 3 times, with my first relationship starting at age 27,' and added, 'I focused only on work in my 20s while dreaming of being an art director. I started watching 'I'm SOLO' because I like Lee Yi-kyung.'
As the 12 individuals completed their entry into 'Solo Nara,' the first impression selection took place. In a way where the solo men record messages they want to send with a cute teddy bear as a gift, Soon-ja swept the selection of Young-soo, Young-cheol, Gwang-soo, and Sang-cheol, becoming the 'all-kill girl.' The solo men explained their choice by saying, 'Her smiling face is attractive and pretty.' On the other hand, Soon-ja hinted at her interest in Sang-cheol and Young-cheol. Additionally, Young-ho selected Hyun-sook, while Young-sik chose Yeong-sook, leading Yeong-ja, Ok-sun, and Mi-kyung to naturally become the 'zero-vote girls.'
Next, the results of the solo women's first impression selection, which had already taken place before the solo men made their selection, were also revealed. The solo men took their luggage to the accommodation one by one, followed by the solo women who had chosen them beforehand. Here, Young-soo, Young-ho, Young-sik, and Gwang-soo ended up with 'zero votes,' while Young-cheol received selections from Yeong-ja, Hyun-sook, and Mi-kyung, and Sang-cheol received selections from Yeong-sook, Soon-ja, and Ok-sun, each accumulating 3 votes. Shortly after, Young-cheol equally accommodated the three solo women who picked him in the back seat of the car. Hyun-sook asked, 'What do we do now that Soon-ja isn't coming?' and Young-cheol replied, 'I chose my second option for first impression. Is that a strategy?' which puzzled everyone.
Once all 25 members arrived at the accommodation, Young-soo took charge of the scene. He delivered the solo women’s luggage to their rooms one by one, while taking care of Yeong-ja, who brought in a huge amount of luggage, and expressed, 'I constantly feel sorry and worried about you.' Gwang-soo, after entering the accommodation, took a shower and wore an 'INFJ T-shirt' to appeal his MBTI to the solo women, and Young-cheol, who became a 'three-vote man,' accidentally deleted the recordings of Hyun-sook and Yeong-ja while entering with three teddy bears. Right after, Hyun-sook asked, 'Did you hear my first impression selection message?' and a flustered Young-cheol responded, 'That didn’t work? Did I press wrong?' disappointing Hyun-sook. Young-sik actively expressed his interest next to Mi-kyung, with whom he shared many conversations while preparing dinner. Young-soo kept taking care of Yeong-ja while activating 'dad mode.' Yeong-ja referred to him as 'Dad~' which Young-soo interpreted as her signal. Young-cheol called Hyun-sook and Yeong-ja one after another and activated 'active mode,' and an 'introduction time' with a 'special twist' was promised, raising expectations for the upcoming romance of the 25th season.
