Yeong-ho's interest wavers after Sun-ja reveals she has tattoos

During the 34th season of 'I Am SOLO' aired on the 21st, Yeong-ho's interest in Sun-ja decreased after she revealed having five to six tattoos. Despite being chosen by three women for a group date, Yeong-ho admitted his feelings shifted because he does not particularly favor tattoos.

In the 34th season of 'I Am SOLO', Sun-ja's confession regarding her tattoos shook Yeong-ho's feelings. Yeong-ho, who emerged as a popular man after being chosen by three women simultaneously, could not hide his embarrassment upon hearing that Sun-ja has five to six tattoos on her body. His heart, which had drawn intense interest from the women due to his family-oriented charm, wavered at an unexpected point, signaling a shift in the romantic lines.

The episode of the SBS Plus and ENA variety program 'I Am SOLO' aired on the 21st, revealing the self-introductions, first date selections, and dating scenes of the 34th season solo women, who are featured in a multi-child special. As the participants learned about each other's professions, personalities, and views on dating, the direction of their interest shifted, increasing tension as mismatched feelings were revealed from the very first selection.

During the first date selection, Yeong-su had his eyes on Sun-ja but was not chosen by anyone, resulting in him having to eat a "solitary meal" alone. Yeong-sik also waited for Sun-ja but was not selected, and Gwang-su, who had shown interest in Sun-ja, also ended up in a solitary situation. Conversely, while Yeong-ho expressed a desire to date Hyeon-suk, he was selected by Sun-ja, Jeong-suk, and Yeong-suk, leading to an unexpected "three-on-one date." Sang-cheol and Ok-sun chose each other and enjoyed a one-on-one date.

Yeong-ho's date with the three women was harmonious from the start. After a game of rock-paper-scissors to decide who would sit in the front seat, Yeong-ho arrived at the restaurant and showed a meticulous side by distributing meat fairly and tending to insufficient side dishes. He emphasized his family-oriented nature, revealing that he even attended a cooking academy because of his mother's teaching that "a man must cook." This scene provided insight into why he was chosen by multiple women.

However, the atmosphere changed during a conversation with Sun-ja. When Sun-ja revealed she has five to six small tattoos on her body, Yeong-ho appeared visibly flustered. In a subsequent interview, Yeong-ho candidly admitted that his interest in Sun-ja had decreased somewhat, as he does not particularly favor tattoos. Despite being a popular man chosen by three women, his feelings changed upon discovering a part of his partner that did not align with his personal taste.

Sun-ja, for her part, was unsure if Yeong-ho's kindness was directed specifically toward her. In an interview after the date, she said, "I wanted to see if he was treating me specially, but it was ambiguous because he is so kind to everyone." Yeong-suk also expressed a desire to step back from dating Yeong-ho, stating, "I don't like someone who is kind to everyone." The very kindness that served as Yeong-ho's strength resulted in a situation where he could not make the women feel certain about his feelings.

Another triangular tension was captured during Yeong-cheol's date. While traveling in the car, Yeong-cheol spoke to Hyeon-suk more frequently than to Yeong-ja, and he carefully looked after Hyeon-suk's condition when she suffered from motion sickness. He slowed the car down and adjusted the windows and air conditioning, and continued to care for Hyeon-suk after arriving at the restaurant. It was later revealed that Yeong-cheol, who had briefly left the group citing a production interview, actually went to buy motion sickness medicine for Hyeon-suk. Although he provided vitamins for Yeong-ja, who appeared to be losing energy, his gaze lingered on Hyeon-suk for longer.

In an interview, Yeong-cheol did not hide his feelings for Hyeon-suk. He expressed his deepening emotions, saying, "The expression that it feels like my heart is being carved out might be excessive, but it feels like another version of me is in pain." As his meticulous care for her condition was followed by intense emotional expressions, attention is focused on the sincerity of his feelings toward Hyeon-suk.

The preview at the end of the broadcast hinted at new competitive dynamics. Scenes captured Sang-cheol, Gwang-su, and Yeong-sik successively requesting to speak with Sun-ja, and a psychological battle between Yeong-ho and Yeong-cheol over Hyeon-suk was also teased. With Yeong-ho's heart shaken by Sun-ja's tattoo confession, Yeong-cheol's focus on Hyeon-suk, and men approaching Sun-ja later, attention is drawn to whether the romantic lines of the 34th season will reach a major turning point following the self-introductions and first dates.
