The 10th season pair of Young-soo and Jeong-sook from "I Am SOLO" began their captivating "grilling and frying journey" in Okinawa, Japan.
On the 21st, the cable channel SBS Plus and ENA's "Grilling and Frying Journey" (hereafter referred to as "Gibokhaeng") showcased the 10th season pair of Young-soo and Jeong-sook starting their "wild party journey" in Okinawa, along with 9th season Ok-soon and "I Am SOLO, Then Love Continues" (hereafter referred to as "Nasol Saga").
The 10th season pair of Young-soo and Jeong-sook, who garnered significant attention as participants in the 'Divorcee Special,' awkwardly reunited at Incheon Airport. During a pre-meeting with the production team, the 10th season Jeong-sook revealed, "Isn't it Young-soo oppa who will be traveling together? I really don't want to go with that oppa." Jeong-sook confessed her discomfort with Young-soo. She further disclosed, "I haven't eaten grilled clams for six months since filming 'I Am SOLO,'" admitting her trauma. Young-soo also did not hide his discomfort about Jeong-sook, recalling, "I saw her about four times after the broadcast. I contacted her because I made the final choice, but even though I didn’t ask her to date, she suddenly suggested we just stay as close friends, so I ended that relationship."
As both were worried, the two entered the travel Nth day and escalated tensions with a fierce argument. When 10th season Jeong-sook shouted, "I'm going crazy because of you, oppa!" Young-soo raised his voice too, eventually storming out. Before knowing about this conflict, the pair embarked on their journey receiving allowances and "Ten Commandments" from the "Gibokhaeng" flag. However, they were troubled by the "Ten Commandments" clause stating, "Living in the same room under one roof." Jeong-sook worried, "I think it will be hard to keep this," and while Young-soo seemed flustered, he comforted her by saying, "It’s not like we have to share one blanket."
Immediately after departing for Okinawa, upon arriving at their accommodation, the two again fell into a state of ‘mental collapse.’ Jeong-sook exclaimed, "No way!" struggling with the fact that they had to genuinely experience "living under one roof." Shortly after, they headed to American Village for dinner. After ordering steak, Young-soo sweetly took care of Jeong-sook with rice and soup, but she asked, "Isn't there any doenjang-jjigae or kimchi?" looking for that "spicy flavor." Young-soo tried to ease the situation with a salad, and when the steak was undercooked, he humorously ordered, "It's too rare! Please cook it a little more" in Korean, bringing laughter.
After their meal, the two returned to their accommodation and had sushi for "midnight snacks." They quarreled again over their "living together" situation. Young-soo drew a line, saying, "Just because we're sleeping in the same room, doesn't mean anything will happen," and Jeong-sook shot back, "Of course not! This oppa is sneaky," rolling her eyes. Ultimately, after spending the night in the same room, Jeong-sook washed up amicably and applied lotion together. As Young-soo woke up early, she warned him, "Don't wake me up!" before going to bed.
In Prague, 9th season Ok-soon and Male No. 4 awkwardly left the cafe after a brief 'debate.' After viewing St. Vitus Cathedral, Ok-soon returned to the cafe, and the two embarked on their third cafe tour. Male No. 4 brought up his encounter with the 22nd season Young-soo and Young-sook, to which Ok-soon replied, "I don't mind if we don't see each other together. Do you want to go alone, oppa?" Male No. 4 sighed, and with the important 'Prague bucket list' in mind, Ok-soon expressed enthusiasm, saying, "If we move actively, we can go everywhere we want!"
Ultimately, Male No. 4 accompanied 9th season Ok-soon to a cafe with a 130-year tradition that she wanted to visit from the first day. While waiting, the two behaved as if they were strangers, talking to foreign patrons beside them. Even after entering the cafe, they maintained a cold atmosphere. During a moment, Male No. 4 shared, "The most important thing in travel is the mood, but this mood is uncomfortable for me." He continued, “What I said about 'Do you want to go alone?' earlier was not great.” In response, Ok-soon clarified, "I’m sorry for giving the impression that I didn’t want to go, but I meant it as a consideration to let you go alone."
During the conversation, the two got into another 'battle' over Male No. 4's remark about being a "principle-driven individual." Ok-soon interrupted, saying, "You don't need to appeal like that. You want me to acknowledge you." Male No. 4 insisted it was about "explaining." A brief silence fell between them, but he softly remarked, "If our tendencies are different, I thought it would be nice to try one thing at a time." Ok-soon ensured the mood of reconciliation by saying, "You know I’m not a scary person better than anyone else." Subsequently, they took turns capturing each other’s 'life shots,' showing a rare friendly atmosphere. Male No. 4 humorously said, "Heaven and hell are within one's own heart" as they headed to their accommodation. The following preview revealed that 10th season Young-soo and Young-sook got into an argument over borrowing swimsuits, and 22nd season Young-sook was seen continuously critiquing Young-soo's dining etiquette, eventually leading to a squabble, raising anticipation for the next broadcast, which is set to air on the 28th at 8:40 p.m.
