The 27th season of 'I am SOLO' showcased a romance oscillating between 'red light' and 'green light'.
On the broadcast aired on the 23rd, the real dating program 'I am SOLO' from SBS Plus and ENA revealed the love line of 'Solonara 27' swirling between 'straight' and 'reset'.
On the morning of the third day in 'Solonara 27', Oksoon, who had diligently finished her 'flower arrangement', wandered through the empty common living room and encountered Sangcheol after the third visit. Oksoon shared with Sangcheol, "I said I wanted to choose you for the (date). But I thought you still had feelings for your previous choice (Jeongsook) and didn't seem to have much interest in me." Sangcheol sighed and said, "If there's an opportunity today, I'd like to go on a date with you, Oksoon." However, Oksoon saw through Sangcheol's true feelings, saying in front of the producers, "It seemed like your feelings for Jeongsook were still strong, so my interest didn't really increase."
Youngcheol, the 'Busan man', immediately requested a conversation with Jeongsook as soon as he woke up. He actively appealed as the closest to 'Pohang' among the 27th season solo men. After a cheerful conversation, Jeongsook re-entered the common living room and playfully poked Youngsik by showing her pedicure in response to his comment, "Is that what you did on your feet?" Afterward, Youngsik and Jeongsook had a '1:1 conversation', but didn't manage to have a meaningful discussion due to the obstacle of 'long distance'. After talking with Youngsik, Jeongsook re-entered the common living room, where she touched Youngcheol's neck after he mentioned that he had put on sunscreen, saying, "Did you get something on you?" Seeing this, Gwangsoo mustered up the courage to request a conversation with Jeongsook, who said, "I'll decide on my route after talking to Youngsoo." Shortly afterward, Jeongsook declared in an interview with the producers, "I'm still curious about Sangcheol, and whether I like it or not, I will just do as I feel."
Around the same time, Youngsik expressed enthusiastically to Sunja, "I think you are still the best for me so far." Sunja smiled brightly, but in front of the producers, revealed, "I don't feel a thrill from Youngsik's friendly tone (dialect)." Youngsoo was captivated at first sight by the unexpected femininity of Youngja, who wore a 'sparkling dress' since morning. Youngsoo immediately requested a conversation with Youngja, and the two increased their mutual liking by discussing the universe. After their conversation, Youngja shared in an interview with the producers, "I felt a thrill after the conversation," and Youngsoo also expressed satisfaction, saying, "Youngja's reactions were good."
Amidst the entangled love lines of the solo men and women, 'random dates' were held. This date matched people who chose picnic baskets and mats of the same color, and inside the mat were missions for 'close contact' and 'social distancing'. Youngsoo and Youngsook were matched for 'sitting back-to-back', Youngsik and Sunja for 'shoulder pillow', Gwangsoo and Jeongsook for 'knee pillow', Sangcheol and Youngja for 'whispering', Youngcheol and Oksoon for 'shoulder and waist hug', and Youngho and Hyunsook for 'sitting 2m apart'. Among these, Youngsoo and Youngsook began their date sitting back-to-back, but the atmosphere cooled rapidly when Youngsook asked about Youngsoo's past relationships, leading him to respond, "I don't want to talk about it." Youngsook, feeling defeated, remarked, "This date was a failure," but later continued a playful chemistry with Youngsoo, stating in an interview with the producers, "It was a bit absurd but seemed fun." In contrast, Youngsoo remarked, "I tend to be cynical, so I am more attracted to warm people," indicating his interest in Jeongsook and Youngja.
Sunja, who went on a date with Youngsik, lay down with him resting her head on his shoulder but said, "I don't want to appear too much like an official couple to others," causing Youngsik to be startled. Realizing Sunja's conflicting feelings, Youngsik remarked, "I've started to have doubts" and stated, "I'm now beginning to think differently." Youngho, who had a '2m distancing' date with Hyunsook, questioned, "Why haven't any of my introductions worked out despite going on so many dates?" Hyunsook criticized her high expectations, saying, "I need to try conversations I've never had before." Youngcheol and Oksoon maintained a friendly comfort even during the 'shoulder and waist hug'. Sangcheol and Youngja shifted to 'whispering' for relationship advice. After the date, Youngja commented, "I felt a bit of interest. Is this the power of random dating?" Gwangsoo demonstrated a playful touch as they each took turns resting their knees on one another. Gwangsoo made a suggestion, saying, "I can take the KTX directly to Pohang right after I finish work on Saturday." However, Jeongsook mentioned in front of the producers, "I thought I should have tended to Gwangsoo with gratitude, but this doesn't seem right." Coincidentally, Sangcheol witnessed the knee pillow date between Gwangsoo and Jeongsook and expressed his discomfort, saying, "It's subtly annoying, isn't it?"
Upon returning to their accommodations, the solo men and women shared their changed feelings after the 'random date'. Oksoon revealed to the other solo women, "I am settled. The person I want to talk to more is Sangcheol," while Sangcheol mentioned to the other solo men, "I think I need to date Oksoon to understand my feelings." Sunja, having had an interest in Youngsoo, called him out for a '1:1 conversation'. However, Youngsoo carelessly remarked, "Actually, you weren't high on my priority list," to which Sunja was taken aback. Youngsoo then suggested, "Let's talk a bit later, maybe after having a drink," encouraging a more informal chat. In the following preview aired, Jeongsook was seen warmly dressing Sangcheol in padding, and she confessed to Youngsoo, "I wished you had come during the random date," hinting at her growing feelings, heightening anticipation for the next broadcast.
