In 'I Am SOLO', 27th graduate Jeong-suk's unexpected choice left Yeong-cheol in shock.
On the 20th, during the broadcast of ENA and SBS Plus's reality dating program 'I Am SOLO', the final dating choices of the 27th solo women were revealed, shocking Yeong-cheol.
During a super date with Jeong-suk that day, Yeong-cheol said, 'We can just hang out,' and suggested they pick a day during the May holiday to have fun after filming.
A flustered Jeong-suk laughed, asking, 'Are we already thinking about the wedding?' but Yeong-cheol responded, 'I was just joking. It's because of the culture of Gyeongsang-do.' Upon seeing this, Lee Yi-kyung remarked, 'I think Yeong-cheol is misunderstanding something,' and Defconn reacted, 'It's not a misunderstanding; it's urgent.'
In a subsequent interview, Yeong-cheol expressed his feelings for Jeong-suk, saying, 'After filming, we talked about the future while having fun together. Imagining things like that is exciting. I felt like we had a good connection so far.' However, Jeong-suk clarified, 'I did the super date to see if there is a possibility of excitement for those who like me. Yeong-cheol made me feel really comfortable. It felt like an older brother I know.'
Meanwhile, the final date was determined by the women's choices. Jeong-suk surprised everyone by choosing Yeong-su, not Gwang-soo or Yeong-cheol, after their super date. Defconn excitedly said, 'This is going to make Yeong-su's heart explode,' and Jeong-suk explained her choice, saying, 'He has a bit of a prickly charm? I wanted to have another conversation since we talked yesterday, so I chose him because I was curious about him.'
Yeong-cheol, who was not chosen, expressed his frustration, saying, 'It's a bit annoying. I understand the intention, but the result turned out like this. I feel like it's not right.' He further stated in an interview, 'I was expecting (Jeong-suk's choice). I thought there would be a good outcome since we had a good time together, but it wasn't. I was taken aback, shocked, and annoyed, thinking, 'What is this?'
Yeong-suk chose Yeong-ho, and Hyun-suk chose Yeong-sik. Meanwhile, Sun-ja selected Gwang-soo, and Yeong-ja also chose Yeong-su, leading to 1:1 dates. After showing a difference in opinion with Ok-soon during the super date, Sang-cheol expressed late regret and declared his intention to pursue Ok-soon directly. Relieved that Ok-soon chose him, he thanked her, saying, 'Thank you.'
Yeong-ja was not happy about the reality of having to do a 2:1 date with Jeong-suk despite choosing Yeong-su. Jeong-suk sighed and said, 'Oh, come on. The producers here are too wicked. If the women hadn't made a selection, the person we just dated wouldn't have been hurt.'
In response, Yeong-ja said, 'Still, this is the right thing to do,' and Defconn stated, 'The producers created this event for honesty.' Later, Yeong-ja told Jeong-suk, 'So, you should just let Yeong-su use the super date privilege. That way, he could have wrapped things up faster.'
Jeong-suk explained, 'I wanted to use the super date meaningfully for important people,' but Yeong-ja retorted, 'Isn't Yeong-su the most important person right now? The only one I'm attracted to is Yeong-su. I can show my appreciation later.'
After all dating choices were made, Yeong-cheol commented, '(Jeong-suk) will probably get some hate comments for this? They both made fools of us.' When the male participants empathized with him, Yeong-cheol added, 'She made fools of both me and Yeong-ja. I thought, 'Can they handle this?' Meanwhile, Gwang-soo defended Jeong-suk, stating, 'But going with your feelings is courageous.' The MCs were impressed.
