In the final selection of 'I am SOLO, and love continues thereafter,' no one was able to smile.
On the 10th, the ENA and SBS Plus entertainment program 'I am SOLO, and love continues thereafter' (hereinafter 'Nasol Saga') aired a dating event for the women's selection a day before the final choice. The 25th season's Young-ho closed his eyes tightly in disappointment. However, the 24th season's Jeong-sook expressed her desire to go on a date.
The 24th season's Jeong-sook finished her date with the 25th season's Young-soo, who showed unexpected shyness, and now she was set to go on a date with the 25th season's Young-ho.
The 24th season's Jeong-sook proudly remarked, "Honestly, I eat really well. It's to the point where it's hard to keep up," showcasing her appetite. The 25th season's Young-ho confidently responded, "It doesn't matter. I can handle it all. I can manage everything." On that day, this was her third date, and she started eating pizza enthusiastically. The 25th season's Young-ho complimented her, saying, "I think Jeong-sook's lips are really pretty," and they continued to enjoy a pleasant meal.
The 25th season's Young-ho said, "It’s really attractive when someone compliments themselves. I really like that side of you." The 24th season's Jeong-sook smiled, saying, "I really like myself." She then expressed, "When I came this time, I thought the final choice meant dating with mutual consent, but I wonder if it will happen. I still don't know about that," leading to a serious conversation. The 25th season's Young-ho tried to ease Jeong-sook's burden by asking, "Are you willing to see me outside?"
Although there was curiosity about the 23rd season's Young-ho, the 4th season's Jeong-soo had to decline the advances of the 6th season's Hyun-sook. Hyun-sook chose the 4th season's Jeong-soo as her final selection. This was not about leaving room for other options but was a ritual to conclude gracefully.
However, the 4th season's Jeong-soo harbored futile hopes, while the 6th season's Hyun-sook realized that the 4th season's Jeong-soo genuinely did not appeal to her. The 17th season's Ok-soon asked, "Then why didn’t you just go out?" regarding Hyun-sook's sincere feelings. The 6th season's Hyun-sook expressed, "Still, I feel drawn to his smile," showing her curiosity about the 23rd season's Young-ho.
Ultimately, on the morning of the final selection, the 6th season's Hyun-sook approached the 23rd season's Young-ho, saying, "I did not mean to put pressure on you at all. But I don’t think this is the end." The 23rd season's Young-ho asked, "Then what about the 4th season's Jeong-soo?" and Hyun-sook replied, "I have already expressed my feelings to the 4th season's Jeong-soo." The 23rd season's Young-ho responded, "Well then, the future is open," accepting the 6th season's Hyun-sook's feelings without closing the door.
In response, the 4th season's Jeong-soo cried, saying, "Hyun-sook said that she hasn't felt attraction towards me as a man yet. I thought that was it. I assumed it was 'yet.' I thought she didn’t have feelings for the others in here either. I didn’t even think about that. Even if you both have interest, were we not supposed to contact outside?"
Moreover, the 24th season's Jeong-sook was also shaken. She declared, "I will not make a final selection," stating, "I don’t like myself trying to choose with a lackluster heart. The biggest thing is not feeling excitement, and I think if I make a choice, it will wound either the others or myself with an awkward feeling." None of the participants ended up in a couple.
Additionally, this episode garnered attention due to the appearance of the 17th season's Ok-soon, but the controversy arose when the production team apologized after articles emerged regarding the 25th season's Young-cheol's sexual assault allegations, resulting in his complete editing out.
