The popularity toward 23rd-season Oksun did not cool even on the night of the fourth day as the solo guesthouse was drawing to a close. Rather, it grew hotter.
On the 25th episode of ENA, SBS Plus variety show "I am SOLO, love continues afterward" (hereafter "I am SOLO: After"), the women's choice date began. While a 5-to-1 date toward 24th-season Oksun was the topic in the main episode, this solo guesthouse focused intense interest on 23rd-season Oksun. Mr. Kwon, who drew interest from 24th-season Oksun, as well as Mr. Kang and Mr. Han, who had a strange relationship with 11th-season Youngsuk, turned their hearts toward 23rd-season Oksun.
24th-season Oksun chose Mr. Na. However, with an unenthusiastic expression and a listless voice, Mr. Na did not look very happy. 24th-season Oksun said, "This is my usual tone. I didn't come to keep loyalty; I came because I wanted to talk," and added, "My longest relationship was five years. I don't date briefly. So I start slowly. I don't nitpick; I watch things naturally and take time," describing her dating style.
Mr. Na asked, "Have your feelings changed?" 24th-season Oksun revealed her true feelings, saying, "I came intending not to act silly and to choose and focus, but actually doing that here is no fun, right?" Mr. Na asked, "So that's not good?" and 24th-season Oksun replied, "So my thinking changed. Let's try hard. But there isn't time to turn things around, and my motivation disappeared."
Mr. Na said in an interview, "It wasn't an interesting conversation. It wasn't the attitude of someone toward whom I have feelings. I felt the way 24th-season Oksun was looking at me," and 24th-season Oksun could not hide her withered expression, saying, "I didn't feel good. There wasn't a strong romantic interest, but it wasn't that I had none for Mr. Na. I wasn't in the mood to make a final choice."
Mr. Han had shown everything about himself and was now only waiting for 23rd-season Oksun's choice. But 23rd-season Oksun, not knowing whom she had in mind, chose the passive Mr. Kang as a date because she wanted to have a conversation with him. Mr. Han was not the only one plunged into despair. Mr. Kwon felt the same.
Mr. Kwon had already, in the episode two weeks ago, used the super date pass awkwardly at the urging of 24th-season Oksun. After his date with 24th-season Oksun, he felt a craving driven by curiosity about 23rd-season Oksun.
Not knowing that, 23rd-season Oksun expressed disappointment about Mr. Kang's attitude. In the preview, 23rd-season Oksun reminded everyone that the purpose of the date pass was for conversation, not for romantic interest, saying, "The people who decisively came toward me are Mr. Kang and Mr. Han. If that earlier incident hadn't happened, I don't know whom I would have chosen." A scene captured Mr. Kang lamenting to Mr. Na, "I definitely intended to make a final choice, but now I'm not sure."
Mr. Kwon did not seem ready to give up. He was not happy at all during dates with 26th-season Sunja and 23rd-season Sunja, but he said, "I have no lingering feelings for 23rd-season Oksun. But because we didn't talk properly, I think there was a misunderstanding and I want to have a conversation," and added, "My interest in 26th-season Sunja and 23rd-season Sunja has risen, but my feelings toward 23rd-season Oksun aren't settled. My curiosity about 23rd-season Oksun continues," showing he still harbored feelings for 23rd-season Oksun.
Defconn clicked his tongue, saying, "This needs to be resolved. You need to hear directly why it couldn't work with 23rd-season Oksun for closure," and in the preview Mr. Kwon said, "I couldn't have a conversation with 23rd-season Oksun. Let's try," showing determination. Mr. Han also made 23rd-season Oksun cry by saying, "I expressed myself to the point of tears, but you went to Mr. Kang."
