The identities of the gentlemen who came to 'Solo Minbak' in search of true love have finally been revealed.
On July 31, during the broadcast of 'I Am SOLO, Love Continues After' (hereafter 'Nasol Sagye') on SBS Plus and ENA, the hot recent updates of the single ladies and the 'real profiles' of the 'gentlemen' were all unveiled through 'self-introduction time.'
That day, the male and female participants of 'Solo Minbak' gathered in one room to chat. The 24th season's Ok-soon said, in response to Mister Jegal's remark, 'I haven't watched since the 12th season,' 'Thank goodness~' as she breathed a sigh of relief. Mister Yoon said, 'I couldn't recognize (the 24th season's Ok-soon) from a distance,' and the 24th season's Ok-soon confidently replied, 'I should have been recognizable right away!'
Then Mister Yoon said, 'This is just the beginning!' which made everyone burst into laughter. Mister Kim, who arrived late to the room, said, 'It's still a bit unfamiliar,' feeling shy, while the 24th season's Ok-soon, who was watching, praised him, saying, 'You're cute.' Mister Kim was so nervous that his hands were shaking, and immediately after he appealed, 'I will be the kindest. Please think of my shaking hands as a sign of my innocence,' bringing laughter.
Amidst the cheerful atmosphere, the time for 'first impression selection' arrived. The single ladies took 'couple selfies' with the 'gentlemen' to indicate their interest, and the 'gentlemen' approached the single ladies waiting on the beach to directly show their interest during the 'couple photo' shoot. At that time, the 26th season's Soon-ja chose Mister Han, but had a complicated expression as she received the choices from Mister Yoon and Mister Kim. The 25th season's Ok-soon chose Mister Yoon but was left disappointed with '0 votes.' The 24th season's Ok-soon, who selected Mister Kim, received offers from both Mister Jegal and Mister Na; recalling that she had recorded a 5:1 date in 'Solo Nara 24,' the 24th season's Ok-soon expressed her regret, saying, 'I should have gotten more choices~.'
The 23rd season's Ok-soon, who chose Mister Han, swept three votes after receiving interest from both Mister Kang and Mister Kwon on top of her interest in Mister Han. Soon after, in an interview with the production team, he expressed his satisfaction, saying, 'I'm happy and relieved. I'm grateful that the people I'm interested in have come.' The 23rd season's Soon-ja and the 11th season's Young-sook chose Mister Han and Mister Yoon, respectively, but were left with '0 votes,' feeling bittersweet. After confirming that Mister Kim went to the 26th season's Soon-ja, the 24th season's Ok-soon asked, 'Does he appeal to you?' and implied her competitive spirit by saying, 'Or should I go for him~?' Afterwards, the single ladies shared who had the lowest first impression, engaging in a 'heart exploration battle.'
As the atmosphere in 'Solo Minbak' heated up, the long-awaited 'self-introduction time' began. The first to introduce herself was the 26th season's Soon-ja, who expressed her desperation by saying, 'As long as it's not long-distance, I'm fine.' The 25th season's Ok-soon started by saying, 'Since appearing on 'I Am SOLO,' I've had many concerns,' before revealing, 'I want to meet a partner to share an organic life with.' The 23rd season's Ok-soon mentioned, 'I lead at work without rest, but I want to be led in a relationship,' stating, 'I have three people in mind.'
The 23rd season's Soon-ja said, 'I value sincerity and trust when meeting people,' and mentioned 'dinosaur type' and 'desert fox type' as her ideal types. The only one currently residing in Busan, the 11th season's Young-sook revealed, 'Since 'I Am SOLO,' I have received many job calls related to demolition work,' expressing her eagerness to find true love.
Following the 'hot' single ladies, this time the 'gentlemen' unveiled their 'reverse specs.' Mister Kang, born in 1984, is a fast-paced accountant who first applied for 'I Am SOLO' in 2022 and received two invitations to appear, but due to his busy work schedule, he participated in 'Solo Minbak' instead of 'Solo Nara' after the third try. After appearing much younger than he did at the time of his application for 'I Am SOLO,' the three MCs, Defconn, Kyung-ri, and Yoon Bo-mi, expressed their admiration, and Mister Kang showed his 'grooming man' side by saying, 'I use about seven types of cosmetics in one cycle.' Mister Kwon, born in 1985, was in charge of ship design at H Group located in Ulsan. Possessing a 'superior physique' as he works out seven days a week, Mister Kwon said he likes 'energetic people with a good nature.'
Mister Kim, born in 1981 and graduated from K University with a degree in statistics, is currently running an English academy, expressing, 'Looking back, not getting married when I was young might actually be a blessing.' Mister I, who attracted attention for his 'detective visual,' was born in 1983 and works in stock trading in Yeouido as a 'securities man.' Having graduated from K University in sociology and being a former rugby player, he said, 'I look like someone who gets angry easily, but I don't express my anger. Contrary to my appearance, I can't eat things like sea cucumbers, sea squirts, and chicken feet,' revealing a surprising twist.
Mister Yoon, born in 1983, revealed his elite background as the practical manager at a Drosophila research bank located in Gwangju and an associate professor at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST). Mister Yoon showcased the impressive quality of being 'human Wikipedia' by organizing various data related to 'I Am SOLO' into Excel files, and heated up the scene by playing the guitar and singing Yoon Jong-shin's 'Instinctively.' Mister Jegal, born in 1981, is responsible for sales strategy marketing in the mobile phone division of S Electronics and revealed that he is a skilled swimmer who owned two APT. in Busan.
Mister Han, born in 1984, majored in ballet at Han Yang University and was part of the Universal Ballet Company, but is currently living a second life as a luxury car sales agent. Mister Han confessed, 'Given my age, I want to meet someone who is thinking about marriage.' In the preview released shortly after, the 23rd season's Ok-soon was seen having conversations consecutively with Mister Kwon and Mister Kang, showing her popularity, while the 24th season's Ok-soon was captured in a room alone with Mister Na, asking, 'Shall we lie down?' showcasing her bold flirting, raising curiosity for the next broadcast.
