I Am Solo Season 31 Controversy & Fallout

On the ENA/SBS Plus variety show "I Am Solo," Yeongsuk from the 31st season asked Yeongho for advice regarding her relationship with Gyeongsu. In a released unaired clip, Yeongsuk expressed her confusion, stating that Gyeongsu expressed interest in her ("curious about me") even though he had already been on three dates with Sunja. Yeongsuk felt that Gyeongsu's feelings seemed stronger for Sunja, yet she was frustrated by his words about wanting to talk more with her, as she couldn't understand their meaning.

Regarding Yeongsuk's concerns, Yeongho calmly replied, "I don't think there's anything to worry about." He advised Yeongsuk to do her best if her desired outcome was to "win Gyeongsu's heart." He also suggested, using the example of using a super date ticket, that Yeongsuk should try her best as much as she could. However, Yeongsuk was anxious that trying hard might not change the other person's feelings. Yeongho then offered realistic advice, stating that it's difficult to change someone else's mind, and ultimately, what matters is not the other person, but how you yourself will act.

Recently, the 31st season of "I Am Solo" has been at the center of controversy with each broadcast due to conflicts among contestants and "bullying allegations." Seemingly aware of this atmosphere, the YouTube comment section for the released unaired clip was closed. However, the content of the video quickly spread through social media and online communities, with netizens showing positive reactions to Yeongho's realistic advice.

Meanwhile, Yeongho from the 31st season of "I Am Solo" experienced unexpected backlash due to speculation that he was "the final couple" and a "real-life couple" with Oksoon, who was at the center of the "bullying allegations." This led to "​review terrorism," where some netizens left malicious reviews on the dental clinic operated by Yeongho, sparking controversy over the heated reactions.
