'I Am SOLO' 33rd Season Yeong-suk, Reason for Appearing: "There is someone else I have my eye on"

'I Am SOLO' 33rd Season Yeong-suk, Reason for Appearing "There is someone else I have my eye on" "Actually, I applied because there was someone I liked from a different season." The honest confession from 'I Am SOLO' 33rd season Yeong-suk has belatedly caused controversy. Although she appeared on a program designed to find connections within the same season, the statement that her actual motivation for appearing was a participant from a different season has sparked a debate over her sincerity. On the 1st, Yeong-suk appeared on a live broadcast of the YouTube channel 'Chonjang Entertainment TV' to share her recent status and behind-the-scenes stories from the show. When asked if she is currently seeing anyone, she replied, "I am still a solo since birth," and added that after visiting Solo Nation, she thought, "I should be a bit more proactive." Yeong-suk explained that she initially appeared on 'I Am SOLO' because she did not know where to meet men. She continued by saying it felt like she received a sort of "maturation training" in Solo Nation and expressed her intention to show more courage in the future. However, her subsequent remarks became the spark for the issue. Yeong-suk revealed, "The original reason I applied for 'I Am SOLO' was because there was someone I liked among the participants from previous seasons." She explained that she had been wondering how she could meet that person and applied thinking that appearing on the show might provide an opportunity to meet them. Furthermore, Yeong-suk confessed that although it was edited out and not revealed during the broadcast, there is someone she is currently interested in. As the 33rd season has concluded, she stated that if the opportunity arises, she intends to take the courage to contact them first, causing the scrutiny regarding the purpose of appearing on the program to intensify. 'I Am SOLO' is fundamentally structured so that male and female participants meet and find connections within a single season. While it is possible for participants to interact with those from other seasons after the broadcast ends, Yeong-suk's statement that she applied with a participant from a different season in mind is a point that could lead to a debate regarding the sincerity related to the purpose of appearing on the program. In the 33rd season broadcast, Yeong-suk was chosen by Yeong-sik, but she did not choose Yeong-sik in the final selection, so they did not become a couple. Ultimately, having failed to form a connection within Solo Nation, she is drawing further attention by expressing her intention to directly contact the participant from another season whom she had an interest in after the broadcast.
