The intertwined 'spider web love line' of season 25 was revealed on 'I Am SOLO.'
On the broadcast aired on the 9th by ENA and SBS Plus, the situation at 'Solo Nara No. 25' encountered turmoil once again due to another dating choice.
On the morning of the fourth day at 'Solo Nara No. 25,' Young-sik prepared a 'hotel breakfast' style table for Mi-kyung. Mi-kyung expressed her gratitude, saying, 'This is really touching.' However, in an interview with the production team, she revealed her ambiguous feelings, saying, 'I do have feelings for him, but I’m confused whether it’s because of his affection offensive or if I just have feelings without any reason.' After breakfast, Young-cheol called Hyun-sook aside to talk. At that moment, Hyun-sook expressed her curiosity about Young-cheol's profession as a former professional soccer player, saying, 'I have some concerns.' Young-cheol acknowledged the difference, saying, '(As a civil servant) your schedule is a bit different from mine.' In response, Hyun-sook remarked, 'I find it more fun to talk with Young-cheol than with others,' and Young-cheol informed her, 'Today I received a conversation request from Ok-soon,' later emphasizing, 'But for now, you are my priority.'
Young-sik asked Mi-kyung directly, 'Is it weird for me to approach you when everyone is here?' Mi-kyung replied, 'I think I'm scared of solidifying the couple image.' To consider Mi-kyung, Young-sik left the common living room, and Young-ho seized the opportunity to approach Mi-kyung, saying, 'I want to get to know you better.' Young-soo, who was indecisive between Young-ja and Hyun-sook, called over Young-ja to sort things out. Young-soo started with, 'I've thought about it,' then declared suddenly, 'I really like you. If I get the 'Super Date Pass,' I will choose you.' Young-ja was taken aback, and even in front of the production team, she set boundaries with Young-soo, saying, 'It's half thankfulness and half sorry.'
As everyone in season 25 was engulfed in chaos, a new dating choice began. This date was conducted based on the decisions of the solo men. Here, Sun-ja and Young-ja received selections from Sang-cheol and Young-soo, while Ok-soon was chosen by Gwang-soo and Young-cheol, resulting in a '2:1 date.' Young-ho and Young-sik moved in on Mi-kyung, while Young-sook and Hyun-sook ended with '0 votes.' Shortly after, Sang-cheol and Sun-ja naturally held hands while sharing hot packs, while Young-ho and Young-sik created an awkward atmosphere over Mi-kyung. A little later, the three who arrived at the restaurant naturally engaged in a conversation about marriage and children. At that time, Mi-kyung and Young-ho said in unison, 'My mom is strict, and my dad is like a friend,' to which Young-sik recited a line from the movie 'About Time,' saying, 'Peace comes to a matriarchal home,' earning praises of 'so wonderful!' from Young-ho and Mi-kyung. Meanwhile, Mi-kyung struggled with indigestion, eventually resting in Young-sik's car. During her break, Mi-kyung said, 'I definitely feel comfortable being with Young-sik,' making him smile.
After recovering her energy, Mi-kyung had a '1:1 conversation' with Young-ho. Mi-kyung candidly confessed, 'There was a bit of forced tension,' and Young-ho ended their budding romance by saying, 'It’s not the same feeling I had with Ok-soon.' At the same time, Young-sik searched for digestive medicine for Mi-kyung but ended up buying carbonated drinks and ice cream to settle her stomach. Mi-kyung was touched by Young-sik’s ‘I Am SOLO’ demeanor, stating, 'He prioritizes me. I have gained confidence in Young-sik.'
During the '2:1 date' with Ok-soon, Young-cheol focused solely on 'mukbang' without saying a word. Later, during their '1:1 conversation,' Gwang-soo revealed why he chose medical school instead of pursuing physics, as he came from a humble background. Ok-soon showed her affection for Gwang-soo's honesty, and after their conversation, she expressed in front of the production team, 'I thought it would be tiring to have someone like Gwang-soo as a partner, but that’s not the case. I’m open to getting to know him more.' Soon after, Ok-soon wrapped up her '1:1 conversation' with Young-cheol, suggesting, 'Let’s talk more when we return to the accommodation,' and Young-cheol sighed, saying, 'I think I missed both of them.'
While eating 'lonely cuisine' together, Young-sook lamented, 'Am I focusing too much on looks?' Hyun-sook countered, 'You take care of yourself just as much, so you have a right to look at appearances, don’t you?' The two, whose conversation styles matched perfectly, established a unique friendship among 'Lonely Friends' while saying, 'If you know someone decent, introduce them to us.' Young-soo appealed seriously during his second date with Young-ja. Young-ja laughed, saying, 'You seem calmer than before, but why do you look so childish?' In an interview with the production team, she admitted, 'Seeing him put in effort is quite pitiful.' However, after the date, Young-soo confessed to the production team, 'She is a sparkling and beautiful, gem-like person. I love her,' expressing his growing feelings for Young-ja.
Upon returning from the date, Mi-kyung told the solo women, 'I’ve decided on Young-sik.' Ok-soon revealed, 'My prejudice was shattered today,' indicating a newfound interest in Gwang-soo. Young-ho declared he would pursue Ok-soon. Following this, the fierce competition over the 'Super Date Pass' among season 25 contestants unfolded, with Hyun-sook yielding to Young-sook, saying, 'Talk to Young-cheol,' yet also retorting to Young-cheol's remark, 'Ask her if she wants to drink with me,' with, 'I don’t want to yield that much!' This display sparked curiosity for the next broadcast.
