SBS Plus and ENA's real dating program 'I Am SOLO' Season 31's singles' intense first meeting and the results of the first-impression selections have been unveiled.
In the special episode aired on the 1st, the pre-interviews of the standout singles captured viewers' attention. There were unusual figures such as Young-soo, who appeared with a black eye and revealed an unexpected hobby of painting, and Young-ho, a Seoul National University alumnus who returned to school in the Daegu area.
Next came Young-sik, a former Marine with a solid, muscular build; Young-cheol, known for his serious personality; and Sang-cheol, a lawyer who boasted a tall height of 186cm, each showcasing their own unique appeal. In particular, Kyung-soo—whose looks reminded people of actor Gong Yoo—immediately grabbed the attention of the female cast members upon his appearance and quickly rose to become the biggest talk-of-the-season figure.
The first-impression selection results were completely unpredictable. Young-sook received votes from as many as four men—Sang-cheol, Gwang-su, Young-cheol, and Young-ho—successfully sparking strong early popularity. Soon-ja received votes for Young-soo and Young-sik, while Kyung-soo, the hottest topic of the moment, chose Young-ja and signaled the start of a strange, intriguing love line.
Among the single women back at the residence, Kyung-soo was the talk of the town. Young-ja, who received Kyung-soo's choice, couldn't hide her admiration, and while Jeong-hee and Ok-sun expressed their disappointment, they still called him a “dangerously attractive guilty” man and acknowledged his charm. Even in the gathering in the living room, laughter blossomed with just one remark from Kyung-soo—proving his unmatched popularity.
MC Deffcon, from the early part of the broadcast, sharply pointed out the phenomenon of interest clustering toward a particular cast member, foreshadowing the intense whirlwind of emotions to come. The unpredictable real romance of Season 31's male and female singles airs every Wednesday night.
