'I Am Solo' Youngsik Becomes Top 4-to-1 Popularity Pick

On the ENA and SBS Plus dating show 'I Am Solo, Love Continues' (hereafter 'Nalso-sa-gye'), during the 'One More Time Special,' Young-sik from the 20th season emerged as a popular figure, receiving choices from four female contestants. A peculiar chemistry with Sun-ja from the 17th season also drew attention.

On this broadcast, Young-sik from the 20th season went on a 4-on-1 date with Sun-ja from the 17th, Sun-ja from the 24th, Sun-ja from the 25th, and Hyun-sook from the 27th. Young-sik showed his thoughtfulness by bringing his own alcohol and hangover remedies, softening the atmosphere and gaining favor. The female contestants complimented him, saying he seemed genuinely popular, to which Young-sik responded shyly. During the meal, he showed consideration by specifically requesting a menu without meat for Sun-ja from the 24th.

When asked about his initial impression of favor during the date, Young-sik replied, "Yes," but when pressed, he wittily dodged the question, saying, "It's impossible not to have one here. It's too obvious." However, as the questions continued, Young-sik's expression stiffened, creating tension.

Later, during the one-on-one conversations, Young-sik drew a line with Hyun-sook from the 27th, stating, "She gives off a strong 'modern woman' vibe, and I don't think we're a good match." He directly evaluated Sun-ja from the 24th's past broadcast image, saying, "I thought you seemed stubborn and like someone trying to stand out," and apologized. However, Sun-ja from the 24th revealed her feelings, saying, "My pride was hurt. My motivation dropped significantly."

In contrast, during his conversation with Sun-ja from the 25th, they found common ground on the theme of 'romance,' naturally growing closer. Young-sik expressed his interest in Sun-ja from the 25th, saying, "I felt like she's someone I want to get to know better," and indicated his desire to continue talking with her during the remaining schedule.
