Is Yeongcheol from I'm SOLO season 30 finally breaking out of his shell? However, viewers are cynical about his inner transformation.
On the 18th episode of SBS variety show I'm SOLO - I'm SOLO (hereinafter I'm SOLO), there was a super date ticket win and a super date one day before the final choice. Solonara usually takes place over five nights and six days, but in the previous season, Yeongcheol and Jeongsuk's relationship rapidly progressed during a super date with about two days left before the choice, ending as the final couple; they are now a married couple who have filed their marriage registration.
In short, It's Solonara where you can't know until the very end. In addition, those who won the super date tickets each chose their partner for different reasons. Sangcheol applied to Sunja, who ranked Youngsoo first, and Gwangsu wanted to talk with Youngja, but thanks to Oksun's consideration he was able to grab one of Oksun's two super date tickets. Instead, Oksun went out to have lunch with Gwangsu. Youngsoo remained at the lodging after Oksun and Sunja left, and Yeongcheol, who doesn't usually mingle much with others, did not come out to the common living room.
What remained, by coincidence, were Youngsoo and Youngja. Feeling frustrated with Yeongsik, Youngja had told the female contestants, "It's not fun to talk with Yeongsik," "How did he really get into law school?" Youngsoo had tried to start a conversation on the night of the third day, but, having not received any signals from Youngja, he decided to focus on Oksun and Sunja. However, Youngsoo asked, "Because you're not sure?" and Youngja answered, "Yes. And I only dated one person, so is this right?" creating an awkward atmosphere.
The two said, "Tomorrow's the last day, so want to have a date after breakfast?", "Shall we watch the final episode of I'm SOLO?" Youngsoo naturally suggested watching the final episode and sat next to Youngja. Of course the two continued their conversation. Youngja said, "I want to do it again. I want to rewind. From the first day. I want to start again from the beginning," repeatedly expressing regret, and that became a signal. Youngja finally said she could not make a choice, and Youngsoo seemed inwardly okay enough about that to tell everyone.
Until this destined non-super date ticket couple was born, the battle for the super date tickets was fierce. When the essay contest topic came out, Yeongcheol returned to the lodging alone, excited as he chose colored pencils. Then he suddenly realized he was different from others and began to sob. The problem was that Sangcheol, who had come in to get cold medicine though he had done nothing wrong, spent a long time consoling Yeongcheol. Yeongcheol pushed Sangcheol away, saying, "Go away." Yeongcheol cried alone, "I wanted to be ordinary but I was peculiar." Afterward, relieved, Yeongcheol rejoiced at having discovered himself.
Sangcheol's mood changed completely. He has a personality that cannot stand others' discomfort, and he recalled Yeongcheol crying so loudly, not knowing why, and crying while showing anger toward him. The interesting thing is that Yeongcheol might not even know that it was Sangcheol who comforted him. Because of that, Yeongcheol could not participate in the essay contest, and seeing this Jeongsuk said, "This is too much," with a look of disgust. After getting Youngja's permission, Jeongsuk dragged Yeongsik out and used a super date ticket to go out alone to eat meat together.
