'I'm SOLO' season 25 has entered a new phase with 'random dating.'
On the broadcast of the reality dating program 'I'm SOLO' aired on ENA and SBS Plus on the 26th, an unprecedented 'random dating' event was held where participants held hands and dated all day long, shaking up the romance dynamics of 'Solo Country, No. 25.'
Earlier, Yeong-su, who enjoyed his first date with Yeong-ja, proudly stated, "I was so happy to date with Yeong-ja" in the communal living room where everyone gathered. However, Yeong-ja drew a clear line, fearing they might end up looking like an official couple. Disappointed by Yeong-ja's distancing behavior, Yeong-su shifted gears, saying, "I want to learn more about Hyeon-suk and Sun-ja tonight." Yeong-sik, who struggled after hearing Mi-gyeong, who was 'only picking,' express a desire to talk to others, sighed, saying, "I don't know what to do." Immediately after, he expressed interest in Hyeon-suk, saying, "I should get to know others." However, Hyeon-suk, completely unaware of Yeong-sik's feelings, called out Yeong-ho for a '1:1 conversation.'
Despite heading straight for Yeong-ja and Mi-gyeong, Yeong-su and Yeong-sik, who fell into the 'swamp of dilemmas,' sat across from each other sharing their frustrations. Yeong-sik declared, "I will be a drummer today," vowing to win the hearts of all the solo women, while Yeong-su jests, "Hyung, are you checking out Sun-ja? Then I'm going for Hyeon-suk!" Yeong-sik then boldly exclaimed, "Sun-ja, come out!" in the communal living room. However, in front of Sun-ja, he took a seemingly consulting attitude, saying he was "abandoned by Mi-gyeong." In response, Sun-ja comforted him, saying, "It seems like Mi-gyeong is also interested in Yeong-sik."
At the same time, Sang-cheol naturally conversed with Yeong-ja, who was sitting next to him, praising her reactions, saying, "She seems like a nice person. Right now, my first choice seems to be (Sun-ja), but who knows how things will go from here?" In response, Yeong-ja replied, "I also wanted to talk more," with a 'nose-tingling killer smile.' Just then, when Sun-ja entered, Sang-cheol wiped his smile and fell silent. Nevertheless, Yeong-ja expressed her determination to pursue Sang-cheol, saying, "Isn't it just beginning?"
The next morning, as soon as Yeong-su saw Hyeon-suk walking from afar, he expressed his interest by handing her a warm coffee. Even with Sun-ja present, Sang-cheol called upon Yeong-suk to have a conversation. He hinted at his interest in Yeong-suk, saying, "To be honest, you are my second choice," and Yeong-suk admitted, "I have been choosing you from the beginning." Sang-cheol affirmed, "It's true that Sun-ja is a major factor," but he also left the possibility open, saying, "Who knows how it will go from here?" Upon returning to the communal living room, Sang-cheol applied for a chat with Yeong-ja this time, and Yeong-ja boldly appealed, saying, "I have never thought about anyone other than you, Sang-cheol."
Amid the chaotic love lines, 'random dating' began. In this dating event, the solo women gathered their hands in one place, and the solo men chose one hand to get matched. Furthermore, the production team shocked everyone by revealing a surprising rule that "all men and women must hold hands while dating." Immediately afterward, Yeong-su successfully held hands with Hyeon-suk, and Yeong-ho also quickly picked Ok-soon, saying, "Her skin tone resembled that of Ok-soon." Yeong-sik tried to hold Hyeon-suk's hand, whom he wanted to get to know, but ended up being matched with Yeong-ja. Yeong-cheol paired with Mi-gyeong, and Kwang-soo grabbed Yeong-suk's hand. Sun-ja, who wanted to be matched with Sang-cheol, had been hiding her hands down, but due to her efforts, she ended up matched with Sang-cheol. Witnessing this, Yeong-suk lamented, "Is this fate? Are they truly meant to be?"
Yeong-ho, who participated in 'random dating,' boldly held Ok-soon's hand while driving to the date location. But the sweet atmosphere was short-lived as Yeong-ho grew flustered by Ok-soon's words, "I'm a little sad that I can't date anyone else." On the way back, he confessed, "I hope we can continue holding hands in the future," to which Ok-soon responded, "If we make a final choice here, I would choose you, Yeong-ho," giving him confidence. Kwang-soo also naturally held Yeong-suk's hand from the start of their date. The two then enjoyed a sweet atmosphere while eating pastries and coffee at a café. Yeong-suk brought up topics about science such as 'gravity' for Kwang-soo, who likes physics, and Kwang-soo flirted, asking, "When did you become beautiful?" After a pleasant date, Kwang-soo expressed interest by saying, "I hope there will be more chances to chat," but Yeong-suk firmly stated, "I did not have feelings for you as a partner."
Yeong-su did his best to appeal during his date with Hyeon-suk. However, their conversation codes were mismatched. Moreover, they clearly had different thoughts regarding the 'meaning of the final choice,' to which Hyeon-suk hoped, "Didn't I give some hints that I don't have romantic feelings for Yeong-su?" Meanwhile, Yeong-su was conflicted, stating, "In my head, Hyeon-suk is a 100, but in my heart, Yeong-ja is a 100." On the second date, Sang-cheol and Sun-ja showcased 'couple chemistry' by simply holding hands and sharing laughter. However, in the preview that followed, Sang-cheol was seen wavering towards Yeong-ja, while Yeong-suk also questioned, "Can I talk to Sang-cheol again?" signaling the start of a 'quadrilateral romance.' Additionally, after 'random dating,' Yeong-sik desperately searched for Mi-gyeong, who sweetly called out to Yeong-cheol, "Honey, look at the moon," raising curiosity about the romance twists to unfold next week.
