In season 9 of "I am SOLO," Oksoon became a couple with Youngsoo and Youngsook from season 22, and the man from "I am SOLO, Afterwards Love Continues" (hereby referred to as "Nasolsagye") became couple number 4 as they formed an "extreme" Prague couple.
In the broadcast on 4th, SBS Plus and ENA's "Gijigo Bokneun Yeohaeng" (hereby referred to as "Gibokhaeng," produced by Chunjang Entertainment) showcased the Prague trip of the "high-tension couple" Youngsoo and Youngsook from season 22 along with the "harmonious couple" Oksoon from season 9 and couple number 4.
On that day, Youngsook from season 22 was forced to wake up early due to Youngsoo's severe snoring. Youngsook went to the bathroom to take a shower, while Youngsoo, who woke up late, apologized, saying, "I was completely groggy" regarding his snoring. After nodding, Youngsook kindly said, "You've had a hard time for a few days. What should we eat? I'll cook for you." Youngsoo insisted, "No, I'll make scrambled eggs or something," and prepared breakfast. However, starting from the first day of their trip, he made dumplings instead of the "scrambled" that Youngsook wanted, and after eating dumplings for two consecutive days, Youngsook forced a smile and praised, "It's delicious." But as Youngsoo continued to clatter his dishes while eating, Youngsook revealed her true feelings, saying, "Actually, I thought you'd make scrambled eggs this morning." Youngsoo, flustered, admitted late, "The truth is I can't make scrambled eggs."
After awkwardly finishing their meal, the two headed to have a late breakfast according to Youngsoo's prearranged schedule. At a restaurant in the Czech Republic, while ordering goulash and barbecued pork ribs, the two restored their friendly atmosphere, but when Youngsoo once again made the sound of scraping his plate with his knife and fork, a cold silence fell over them. Youngsook grew frustrated with Youngsoo's habit of making noise while eating every meal and eventually lamented in front of the production team, "It seems like Youngsoo is closing his ears and can't hear. I'm going to go crazy."
Barely finishing their meal, the two headed to Charles Bridge. While they were taking pictures of each other, they watched performances by street musicians. At that moment, Youngsoo wanted to give coin to the musicians out of gratitude, but Youngsook scolded him, saying, "Not knowing how to give money shows a lack of sense. Please learn to give it in a cool way!" Amidst the tension of their 'high-tension couple' situation, the travel story of Oksoon and couple number 4 from season 9 was next.
The two, having resolved their emotional burdens with a long conversation the previous day, appeared much more relaxed on the third day of their trip. Early in the morning, they headed to Cesky, a nearby area that Oksoon from season 9 wanted to visit. Couple number 4 cautiously asked, "Is it okay if Youngsoo and Youngsook from season 22 join us for trekking tomorrow?" Youngsoon from season 9, who had previously dreaded the mention of "trekking," jokingly said, "Can't Youngsook go instead of me?" and in a friendly mood proposed going to a 'club,' which couple number 4 had been wanting to do.
After arriving in Cesky, the two entered a cute cafe and took pictures of each other. At this time, Korean tourists recognized them and asked, "Are you two in a relationship?" highlighting the popularity of "I am SOLO" and "Nasolsagye." Oksoon from season 9 enjoyed a meal at a local restaurant, and upon hearing couple number 4 say, "My favorite travel destination is New Zealand," she exclaimed, "That gives me chills. Me too!" Immediately after that, Oksoon expressed her satisfaction in an interview with the production team, saying, "It means a lot that we both picked the same place as our life's travel destination. It was a memorable time."
Previously, Oksoon from season 9 had expressed her anxiety about trekking as she didn't bring any sneakers, and remembering this, couple number 4 willingly paid for the shoes Oksoon picked out. Joyfully, Oksoon clapped and said, "I'll wear them well," and added, "I'll climb hard tomorrow during trekking. This is the only thing I remember from this trip!" Couple number 4 commented in an interview with the production team, "Shoes are crucial during trekking, and I thought it would be difficult for Oksoon. So I bought them, and unexpectedly, she liked them, so I thought she wouldn't complain tomorrow."
In a warm atmosphere, the two visited Cesky Krumlov Castle. There, Oksoon from season 9, delighted to spot a bear, received the nickname "Chebao" from couple number 4. After a sweet conclusion to their travels, Oksoon revealed in front of the production team, "I don't know if it was because Cesky was charming or if my attitude towards the person I'm traveling with changed, but I felt good." Couple number 4 also smiled, saying, "I could comfortably express what I wanted to say." The preview that followed showed Youngsoo and Youngsook from season 22 in a precarious moment where their interests diverged over "going to an observation deck" and "drinking beer while looking at the view," and also featured season 10's Jeongsook leaving her seat, saying, "That shows a lack of sense," after having a meal with Youngsoo from season 10, raising curiosity for the next broadcast.
