I Am SOLO' Season 13 Participant Young-soo Releases HSV Test Results

ENA and SBS Plus's dating show 'I Am SOLO' Season 13 participant Young-soo (pseudonym) has directly addressed past allegations of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. After a prolonged controversy, Young-soo has announced a firm stance, releasing medical test results to refute the claims.

Young-soo began his statement on his SNS on the 25th, saying, "It seems the footage from the dating program I appeared on three years ago is becoming a topic of discussion again."

Regarding his behavior during the broadcast, he said, "Looking back now, there are scenes where I wonder why I acted that way. I can accept mockery or criticism about those parts. I believe I should reflect on them and work to improve."

However, he made it clear he would no longer remain silent regarding the allegations of contracting a specific illness.

Young-soo stated, "Since the issue I explained and moved past is still being mentioned, I feel I can no longer ignore it. I thought if I endured it, time would resolve it, but it never ended, and my family suffered greatly."

He continued, "After long deliberation, I have decided to release my test results."

The released medical test results show all antibody tests related to HSV (herpes virus) as negative. Young-soo emphasized that the allegations surrounding him are false, based on these results.

He also explained why he had not released the test results earlier.

Young-soo said, "The reason I didn't release them back then was simply because I didn't want to. I didn't want to accommodate people who attack others behind anonymity."

He added, "Now, there is a limit to how much I can endure. I will capture all related content and proceed with legal action."

Previously, online community posts alleged that a participant from 'I Am SOLO' contracted a sexually transmitted disease during a relationship. The original poster mentioned that the other party was in the medical field and that certain details aligned with the broadcast timeline, leading to speculation about a specific participant.

However, at the time, these allegations were not officially confirmed, and Young-soo has now reiterated his position through the release of these test results.

This controversy has once again highlighted the importance of personal reputation and fact-checking in the rapid spread of anonymous tips and speculation online. Public attention now focuses on whether Young-soo's announced legal actions will follow through and what judgments will be made subsequently.
