'I am SOLO' Season 26 has encountered unpredictable romance.
On 4th, the real dating program 'I am SOLO' broadcast by ENA and SBS Plus revealed the love lines of Season 26 that completely changed with 'late-night dates' through new dating choices.
On the night of the third day at 'SoloNara 26', Jeong-sook and Young-ja had a '2:1 late-night date' with Sang-cheol. Young-ja, caught between the two who seemed relatively close, expressed her feelings, saying, "I know Sang-cheol is going straight for Jeong-sook. That being said, it's not in my nature to withdraw either." She went on to strongly appeal, "His looks are my style. (Seeing him) going straight for Jeong-sook is also charming." After the date, Young-ja revealed in an interview with the production team, "I want to get to know Sang-cheol better and determine my line," while Jeong-sook praised Sang-cheol's thoughtfulness, saying, "He didn't overtly take care of me and treated me with equal manners." On the other hand, Sang-cheol confessed, "I became curious about Young-ja too," surprising everyone.
After finishing her late-night date with Young-soo, Ok-soon returned to the lodging room and vented to the other solo women, saying, "Today was not great." Hyun-sook also expressed her frustration, saying, "Why can't I speak in front of Young-ho?" Jeong-sook went to Sun-ja and Young-ja's room and remarked, "I think Young-ho gave me hints today that he felt disappointed because I didn't choose him," seemingly confirming that she is still Young-ho's 'first choice.' Sun-ja and Young-ja thought Jeong-sook's comment was a 'caution' directed towards them, and as soon as Jeong-sook left, they ignited their determination, saying, "Let's go straight for Young-ho and Sang-cheol!"
The next morning, Gwang-soo made porridge for Hyun-sook. After sharing it deliciously with the solo women, Hyun-sook had a '1:1 conversation' with Gwang-soo. Hyun-sook then said, "Since Gwang-soo is waiting for me, I think it’s my responsibility to tell him what happened during the 'late-night date' and share what I plan to do today ahead of time," feeling apologetic. Gwang-soo responded, saying, "I feel like Hyun-sook has been thinking about me more than before, which moved me," and shed tears. Hyun-sook also cried and shortly after, in front of the production team, she said, "Actually, isn't this the kind of person I need?" yet added, "That doesn’t mean I want to meet him as a man. My feelings are gradually increasing, but this is a strange experience for me."
Meanwhile, Kyung-soo visited Sun-ja and gave her a mist as a gift. Sun-ja indirectly declined, saying to Kyung-soo, "I want to date Young-soo, Young-cheol, and Sang-cheol." Immediately after, Sun-ja went to the common living room and happily ate the meal prepared by Young-ho. Seeing this, Jeong-sook promptly called out to Young-ho. At that moment, Young-ho remarked to Jeong-sook, "I felt that our personalities might not match well. It would be good to check out other people too," subtly revealing his thoughts. Jeong-sook activated her jealousy tactics, saying, "It seems like Sang-cheol only has interest in me," but Young-ho clarified, saying, "The person I am most interested in right now is Sun-ja, and I couldn't even talk to Hyun-sook at all," essentially indicating he has no feelings for Jeong-sook. Surprised by the unexpected response, Jeong-sook replied, "I am also starting to lean towards Sang-cheol," and ended her romantic developments with Young-ho. Subsequently, Jeong-sook sought out Sang-cheol, appealing, "I am prioritizing Sang-cheol as my first choice."
Hyun-sook bravely requested a '1:1 conversation' with Young-ho. She appealed, saying, "From the very beginning, I thought Young-ho was really handsome." Young-ho responded, "I don't know where to put myself," and then the two had a serious conversation about dating and marriage. During this, Hyun-sook asked, "Have you already decided your feelings?" Young-ho replied, "I have two people, and I'll narrow it down further in the future." After the conversation, Hyun-sook appeared downcast in front of the production team, stating, "I think it was not enough of a conversation to glimpse any possibilities."
When lunch came, this time a new dating matching was conducted based on the selections of the solo men. Here, Young-cheol and Kyung-soo chose Young-sook, while Sang-cheol selected Jeong-sook, stating, "I wanted to have my first '1:1 date' with Jeong-sook." Young-soo and Young-ho went straight for Sun-ja, and Gwang-soo headed towards Hyun-sook without any changes. In contrast, Young-ja and Ok-soon received '0 votes' and confirmed a 'lonely meal.' The preview released immediately after captured moments of Young-sik joking and appealing during a '2:1 date' with Hyun-sook and Young-cheol making a critical mistake by continually calling Young-sook 'Young-ja' during a '2:1 date,' raising curiosity for the next broadcast.
