'I Am Solo' Season 26's Gwang-soo claimed that he is being ostracized among his peers.
On the 8th, Gwang-soo communicated with his subscribers through a live broadcast on his social account.
On this day, while doing the live broadcast, Gwang-soo mentioned the production team and his peers, saying, "The production team and my peers are almost completely cut off. It's just ostracism."
He expressed his pride, saying, "Honestly, if it weren't for me, the Season 26 show might not have aired at all," but he also explained, "I can't contact my peers from Season 26. I want to, but I'm excluded from that group. I've just been ostracized. Hyun-sook had a good chemistry. I can't reach out to my peers. They don't respond to my messages."
Gwang-soo, who had not appeared in the live broadcasts following the conclusion of Season 26, shared, "I couldn't go to the broadcast. When I can, my peers say they don't want me there, so I couldn't go. The production team told me not to come," adding, "I probably can't go on 'Na-sol Sa-gye'. I think it's impossible for me to be involved with 'Na-sol' at all. It can't be helped."
Previously, Gwang-soo drew criticism for derogatory comments about his fellow Season 26 members during a YouTube broadcast on the 24th, while the show was still airing. He remarked, "This season has many who were raised coddled at home," and, "Young-soo was raised fussed over at home to become a professor," as well as, "Hyun-sook and Jeong-sook studied hard because their families couldn't make ends meet," leaving viewers frowning. Moreover, he commented on Young-ho, a public servant, saying, "His salary is predictable, but he claims to save 70% of it, which honestly doesn't make sense." He also said, "Sang-cheol has no thoughts at all," and referred to Jeong-sook's BMW as a used car.
Gwang-soo's claim of being ostracized by his peers seems to stem from this controversy. He remarked, "I understand. My peers think I criticized them a lot on YouTube. I thought I spoke nicely about them."
In particular, Gwang-soo faced criticism for making spoiler remarks during the same YouTube broadcast. At the time, he directly stated that he no longer contacts Hyun-sook, who was receiving significant interest regarding her ending couple and current status.
In response, Gwang-soo stated he does not contact the production team, saying, "I haven't received any appearance fees." This implies he has not received payment due to contract violations regarding the spoilers. He said, "I haven't seen the contract, but if that's the penalty, I would naturally accept it." He emphasized, "It's absolutely not true that I dated Hyun-sook for 40 days. I have stated otherwise, but it's not true. Internet users just talked about it," emphasizing that he has not specified the length of their alleged relationship.
Meanwhile, Gwang-soo became the final couple with Hyun-sook from Season 26, but they did not continue as a real couple. Currently, he is dating another individual from the show, Young-sik, with whom he formed a romance. In a live broadcast shortly after the show's conclusion, Young-sik said, "Many are curious about Hyun-sook and Gwang-soo, who couldn't attend due to their own circumstances; they spent a short time getting to know each other but did not develop a good relationship. Afterward, I went through ups and downs, but I am getting along well with Hyun-sook now, and she is playfully teasing me. So, she is my current partner," receiving much congratulation.
Afterward, Hyun-sook also posted on her social account, "Outside of the solo country, communicating with Gwang-soo became much harder than before, and after about a week of getting to know each other, it came to a natural conclusion." In response, Gwang-soo commented, "I am officially responding to this post. I never mentioned that I met for 40 days. It's fabricated gossip from other community fake posts. I sincerely apologize for mentioning peers on YouTube. I'm truly sorry, Hyun-sook. Congratulations on meeting Young-sik. Please understand that I never mentioned that we met for 40 days. At that time, I was leaving Iraq, and I didn't meet her because I met her over only two meals."
