Jeonghee & Defconn Backbiting Scandal: Sharp Criticism

Defconn's blunt remarks towards Junghee, a contestant on SBS Plus and ENA's variety show 'I Am Solo,' have become a hot topic. In the broadcast on the 13th, Yeongsik was chosen by both Jeongsook and Junghee, but Junghee appeared anxious even before the date. Junghee expressed her concern about managing her facial expressions to Yeongsik, saying, "You must be happy," to which Defconn pointed out, "She's pushing too hard even before going on a date." During the date, Junghee showed her frustration by giving short answers and complaining of a headache, while Yeongsik stated he was interested in Junghee but also wanted to talk more with Jeongsook. When Junghee directly requested to use her date ticket, she put on a gloomy face, prompting Defconn to criticize, "Can't you smile a little?" and "I don't want to meet someone who is always depressed and complaining," advising her to take time to reflect on herself.

Meanwhile, 'I Am Solo' season 31 is facing backlash after scenes of contestants gossiping about Sunja caused controversy. Following the broadcast of conversations between Oksoon, Yeongsook, and Junghee about Sunja, viewers criticized the show, with comments like, "Sunja is so pitiful" and "That atmosphere was so uncomfortable." Amidst this negative public opinion, attention is focused on whether Oksoon, Yeongsook, and Junghee will participate in the scheduled live broadcast.

In the reality show 'I Am Solo,' conflicts between contestants have intensified, leading to one participant being taken to the emergency room. In the broadcast on the 13th, Sunja from season 31 experienced stress-induced gastritis and had to halt filming due to her roommates' sharp remarks and Oksoon's deceptive attitude, despite winning the long-distance running mission. At the heart of this incident was the gossip among Oksoon, Junghee, and Yeongsook, and it was revealed that Sunja had overheard this conversation from the next room. In an interview with the production crew, Sunja tearfully stated, "I feel subtly disregarded," which ultimately led to her physical pain.

Yeongsook's speculative remarks targeting Sunja after falling during the running mission provoked anger from Oksoon and Junghee, turning Sunja into a "common enemy." MC Song Hae-na warned, "Be careful with your words," and Defconn also pointed out, "Those three must apologize to Sunja." Sunja being taken to the emergency room left viewers feeling uncomfortable. Although Gyeongsu visited Sunja and declared he would use his date ticket with her, it offered little comfort to the already hurt Sunja. The production team quickly responded by removing unaired footage, but there are calls for minimum guidelines to prevent the 'deception' and 'disregard' among contestants from being consumed as entertainment.

As criticism spreads regarding Oksoon's front-talking controversy in 'I Am Solo' season 31, the production team aired the episodes without deleting the footage of the involved contestants. The broadcast on the 13th showed Yeongsook sharing her date experience with her roommates, Oksoon and Junghee, after her date with Gyeongsu and Sunja. Yeongsook described the date as difficult and expressed discomfort by mimicking Gyeongsu and Sunja's conversation. Later, during the running competition, Yeongsook fell and made remarks that seemed to target Sunja, which Sunja overheard from the adjacent room.
