The 28th season of 'I'm SOLO' held a 'dopamine party' with a more intense and candid 'divorcees special'.
The real dating program 'I'm SOLO', broadcast on the 3rd by SBS Plus and ENA, captivated viewers with the first meeting of divorcees entering 'Solo Nara 28' and the 'first impression selection' of the solo men.
The first to appear in 'Solo Nara 28', where the 'last love' began in Gangwon Province, was Young-soo. In a pre-interview with the production team, he revealed, 'I met my ex-wife through introductions from my father's mountain club colleagues while we were working at the same company, but we divorced after five years due to personality differences.' He added, 'We had an amicable divorce and still keep in touch,' showing a cool demeanor. Next was Young-ho, who showcased himself as a 'steel man' having mastered ice hockey, revealing, 'I hastily prepared for marriage due to health issues with our mothers, but we separated after three years of a common-law marriage.' Following him was Young-sik, who admitted he came out here with the support of his daughter, a high school sophomore and a fan of 'I'm SOLO', stating, 'I married after a brief romance due to a premarital pregnancy and divorced after seven years of clashes.' Young-sik shared, 'I endured for the sake of my child,' and said, 'After long efforts, my daughter, who drifted apart during her teenage years, is now like a friend.'
Young-cheol stated, 'After a 10-year marriage, I divorced and my ex-wife is raising my 11-year-old son,' revealing he is a non-custodial parent. He continued, 'I prefer older women, taller women, and women with children.' Stylishly dressed in a suit, Kwang-soo shared, 'My father is a former National Assembly member. I married my ex-wife at 27 despite opposition from both families, but we divorced just six months after our daughter was born.' Now raising his high school daughter alone, Kwang-soo expressed, 'I lived for my child. My priority has always been my daughter, and while I forgot about love, I now want to find true love.' Sang-cheol opened up, 'I divorced due to personality differences,' explaining, 'I didn't do anything after the divorce. But while watching 'I'm SOLO', I thought about wanting to be happy.' Standing at 193 cm tall, Kyung-soo spent 30 years in professional soccer and holds the record for the longest field goal by a goalkeeper. Kyung-soo, who divorced after 12 years due to personality differences, boasted, 'Having played as a goalkeeper for so long, I'm used to criticism. It's not the first time I've faced criticism, and it won't be the last.'
Following the seven solo men, solo women made their entrance. The first was Young-sook, who shared, 'I am raising a 9-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son. I ended my marriage through a lawsuit. I am skilled at anything done with my hands, and I'm told my impression is good,' appealing that she deserves a 'free pass' in interviews. Jeong-sook, dressed in a black mini dress, immediately recognized Kyung-soo, whom she met at a matchmaking event, exclaiming, 'Is this fate?' She then recalled, 'I fell for a handsome man at first sight, but divorced after a year of common-law marriage,' adding, 'You might find me less attractive at first, but over time you will feel drawn to me.' Soon-ja confessed, 'I married a man introduced by a personal trainer while pregnant, but we divorced after a lawsuit.' Young-ja shared, 'In my second relationship, I got married just over 100 days after our first date, but we ended up strangers due to financial issues and housework.'
Presenting herself with visuals akin to a 'girl group center', Ok-soon, born in 1991, stated, 'I became a couple with a high school friend but separated due to bad circumstances. Even if I meet my match, the first consideration is my child.' Hyun-sook, raising a 10-year-old son, a 7-year-old daughter, and a 5-year-old son, clarified, 'I didn't come here to find the father of my children,' expressing, 'I want to meet someone who will embrace my life.' Lastly, Jeong-hee, an icon of perseverance who joined the 28th season after knocking on the door of 'I'm SOLO' until the day before filming, introduced herself as 'a dentist raising an 8-year-old daughter.' She recalled, 'I married after being confessed by the head of the same hospital, but I felt lonely because my husband only focused on work,' and expressed her desire to meet a man as witty and empathetic as 'Defconn.'
Once the 28th season members gathered, the 'first impression selection' for the solo men commenced. In a dramatic format where the solo man puts a 'gold ring of one don' on his 'one pick' solo woman, Young-soo and Young-ho chose Jeong-sook, while Young-sik went to Soon-ja and became a 'bot.' Young-cheol passionately sang Jo Yong-pil's 'Bounce' before giving a ring to Jeong-hee. Immediately after, when Jeong-hee asked, 'Am I prettier than Ok-soon?', he swiftly replied, 'Of course,' showcasing his infatuation with Jeong-hee. Kwang-soo and Kyung-soo selected Ok-soon, while Sang-cheol chose Hyun-sook. In contrast, Young-sook and Young-ja ended up with '0 votes'. Later, as the entire 28th group was preparing to move to their lodging, the production team surprised the solo women by announcing, 'Get in the car of the solo man you saved as your number one on your phone.' The trailer released immediately after captured a scene of Young-soo and Jeong-sook holding hands from day one and Jeong-sook bursting into tears, hinting at the chaotic 'divorcee war.'
