Wave-exclusive variety show Our Still Solo successfully concluded its dating league by forming three couples — Yu Hee-gwan x Hyomani, Jo Byeong-wook x Yuni, and Park Jae-wook x Mari. Above all, Yu Hee-gwan♥13th generation Ok-soon drew attention as she became the final couple after tears and snot.
In the final episode of the baseball players' real dating show Our Still Solo (hereafter Our Still Solo), released on the 23rd, the scene showed four former baseball players dubbed the 'bright men' — 'Ginny' Yu Hee-gwan, 'Ugi' Park Jae-wook, 'Minbin' Min Kyung-su, and 'Coffee' Jo Byeong-wook — and four 'bright women' — Hyomani, Mari, Hee-bom, and Yuni — finishing all their dates and entering the 'final choice.'
Before the 'final choice,' a 1-on-1 'home run date' between Yu Hee-gwan and Hee-bom, who won a date right through a game, was revealed. Yu Hee-gwan shared a peculiar attraction while making a 'couple ring' with Hee-bom, his final chosen date, and showed special excitement, such as staring closely at Hee-bom's face while she was driving. However, despite Hee-bom giving him direct signals, Yu Hee-gwan appeared deeply troubled in an interview with the producers right after the date, saying, "(Hee-bom) isn't the type to express herself as actively as Hyomani, so I'm not sure about her feelings."
Just before the final choice, the bright women were given their last chance to talk with the bright men, and both Hee-bom and 13th generation Ok-soon Hyomani requested conversations with Yu Hee-gwan. First, the conversation between Yu Hee-gwan and Hee-bom proceeded, and Hee-bom was flustered, saying, "I don't know what to say," seeing Yu Hee-gwan somewhat down after being unexpectedly caught in a 'love triangle.' By contrast, Hyomani expressed her feelings without filter, saying, "I really want things to go well with (Yu Hee-gwan), but it's not going as I hoped, and I'm sad." Even after the conversation time ended, she showed reluctance by saying, "Let's talk a little more," and continued to appeal until the end.
Finally, the bright men and bright women made their final choices at the baseball stadium. Jo Byeong-wook, who had continued a 'confident love line' with Yuni, chose Yuni as expected, and Yuni accepted Jo Byeong-wook's confession and returned to home plate with him. They left the batter's box holding hands, saying, "We're a quiet 'tuk-tak couple,' but please look kindly on us." Min Kyung-su gave up his choice, saying, "I hope everyone I spent time with finds the person who can give them the greatest happiness." Batting third, Park Jae-wook said, "Time has been too short for me, so I don't think I can make a choice today," yet he could not hide his regret as he shook hands one last time with Mari, whom he had been dating.
With all eyes on the fourth batter, Yu Hee-gwan, who stood before Hee-bom and Hyomani, said, "I can't look at your faces," with tears welling up. In the end, Yu Hee-gwan shook hands with Hee-bom, saying, "It was nice to meet you," and chose Hyomani by proposing, "Let's walk together." After Yu Hee-gwan confessed, "Her consistent interest and many expressions of affection moved my heart," Hyomani replied, "Thank you for recognizing my true feelings," and the pair became the second 'final couple.' Yu Hee-gwan x Hyomani said they would "maintain a good relationship going forward" and announced that if things went well enough to lead to marriage, they would have the show's PD, who served as the matchmaker, act as the officiant.
Just as all filming was about to wrap, Park Jae-wook asked the producers, "Can I talk to Mari one more time?" and the situation suddenly reversed. In an unprecedented 'reversal of a decision to forgo choosing,' Park Jae-wook confessed to Mari, "I'm the type to approach only when I'm 100% certain, so I'm very slow," and said, "I'll leave the choice of whether to get to know each other more or end it here up to you, Mari." Mari took Park Jae-wook home as a 'heartbeat-inducing' line, saying, "If you don't have certainty about me, I'll give you certainty," and the two dramatically became the third 'final couple.' All the bright men and bright women applauded the birth of the so-called 'surprise couple' and warmly concluded the heated dating league by revealing each other's ages and names.
