'I Am SOLO' Season 34 Multi-child Family Son: "I have 7 older sisters, but I'm like a servant"

Season 34 of 'I Am SOLO' is unusual from the very start. This time, men and women from so-called "multi-child families" with three or more siblings have all gathered, pouring out family histories that exceed imagination from their first meeting. From an only son with as many as seven older sisters to the youngest of eight sisters, the show has foreshadowed a true "sibling hierarchy war."

In the broadcast of SBS Plus·ENA 'I Am SOLO' airing on the 7th, the first meeting of 'Solo Land Season 34' taking place in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, will be revealed. On this day, Defconn, Lee Yi-kyung, and Song Hae-na also show more interest in the participants' sibling relationships than their occupations. As they begin to guess which sibling each solo man and woman is whenever a participant appears, the revealed family compositions even exceed the expectations of the three MCs.

The most intense participant is undoubtedly the "youngest son with seven older sisters." He surprised everyone by revealing, "Seven older sisters, two parents, and me, making 10 people." While it is commonly expected that an only son in a house with many older sisters would monopolize the love of the whole family, he himself drew laughter by claiming, "With seven older sisters and one son, I am a servant, a servant." A twist story is also revealed where he helped with farming since his childhood.

Additionally, a solo woman who is the youngest among eight sisters appears. Stating that she is more than 20 years apart from her eldest sister, she causes a stir in the studio by revealing, "A married niece is pregnant, so I will soon become a great-aunt." As her unique family history of being set to become a great-aunt overnight in 'Solo Land'—where she came to find a romantic partner—is revealed, it makes the extraordinary scale of Season 34 palpable.

The personalities developed growing up in multi-child families are also revealed from the first meeting. One solo woman, the eldest daughter of four siblings, naturally takes the lead in everything from taking care of an injured colleague's name tag to assigning accommodations and grocery shopping. On the other hand, a solo man called the "K-eldest son" moves on his own without being asked, such as taking care of water for the women and adjusting the indoor temperature. Seeing this, Lee Yi-kyung exclaims, "Inside the house, the K-eldest son does it, and for grocery shopping, the K-eldest daughter does it."

A solo man who is confident in his extraordinary understanding of women also appears. Thanks to living closely with his older sisters for a long time, he confidently says, "I know well where women get hurt." Attention is focused on whether this special "older sister expertise" will act as a competitive edge in dating in Solo Land.

Conversely, the sorrow gained from surviving among siblings also appears. Another solo woman expresses the sorrow of being the middle child, confessing, "I wore my older sister's hand-me-down clothes while my younger brother gets new clothes..." Her story, which summons childhood memories, is expected to form a realistic sense of empathy like Deok-sun in 'Reply 1988'.

Although they gathered with the single commonality of having many siblings, the ways they lived within them are all different. Some learned responsibility as the eldest daughter or son, some received love and nagging simultaneously as the youngest, and others mastered unique survival methods while being pushed around among siblings. Interest is already concentrating on how these growth backgrounds will be revealed in the first romance of 'I Am SOLO' Season 34.

The 'I Am SOLO' broadcast on September 30 recorded an average of 4.7% and a peak of 5.3% per minute based on paid broadcasting households in the metropolitan area, and ranked first in the same time slot with 3.2% in the 2049 target viewership rating. How the 34th season, where men and women from multi-child families have gathered, will create couple dynamics from the first day can be confirmed in the broadcast on the 7th at 10:30 PM.
