I Am SOLO's Ok-soon shares flight attendant photos amid relationship controversies

Ok-soon, a participant from the 31st season of 'I Am SOLO', posted photos from her past career as a flight attendant on the 1st. The post follows her recent clarification that leaked social media photos from the 26th of last month were released by mistake and do not signal a change in her relationship status with Young-ho.

Ok-soon, a participant from the 31st season of 'I Am SOLO', has shared photos from her past career as a flight attendant. Amid intense criticism surrounding suspicions regarding her relationship with Young-ho and the so-called 'Soon-ja bullying controversy,' she has drawn attention by continuing her daily life and sharing past photos instead of offering a formal explanation for the images.

On the 1st, Ok-soon posted a photo to her social media with the caption, "During my Sumin days~" The photo shows her wearing a white shirt layered with a red knit sweater, with her hair neatly pulled back. The image captures a natural moment as she looks at a mobile phone screen, presenting an atmosphere different from the image she showed on the broadcast.

The timing of this post has drawn significant interest. Ok-soon has been facing concentrated online criticism regarding her past actions and the connections she made during the broadcast. In particular, speculation regarding her relationship with Young-ho resurfaced after photos from a social media account presumed to be operated by the two were spread through online communities on the 26th of last month.

Although the photos were quickly deleted, reactions from netizens continued. Some questioned whether the two had actually broken up, and various speculations arose regarding the circumstances and intentions behind the release of the photos. Debates spread online with reactions such as, "It doesn't look like they broke up," and "Did she release them on purpose?"

On the same day, Ok-soon explained the circumstances regarding the release of the photos via her social media. "The photo in question was leaked due to my mistake," she clarified, adding, "It was not posted to announce that a marriage is imminent or that we have started dating again, and I did not release it with any specific intention." She made it clear that the speculation surrounding the photo does not signify a change in her actual relationship or marriage plans.

Alongside this, Ok-soon strongly refuted the 'Soon-ja bullying controversy,' stating it was the part she most clearly wanted to correct. "I am not a perpetrator who led bullying," she emphasized, asserting that she did not intentionally exclude or bully any specific person on the filming set. She maintained that the claims of her continuously bullying someone—who was merely a fellow participant of the same season and with whom she had no special friendship or meetings inside or outside the set—are untrue.

Following her explanations regarding the controversies, interest in Ok-soon's social media activity continues as she shared the photos from her flight attendant days. However, there is no basis to view the release of the photos as containing an additional stance or a specific message regarding the controversy. As online criticism persists, attention is focused on how she will resolve the situation moving forward.

Born in 1993, Ok-soon formed a connection with Young-ho, a dentist one year her senior, during the 31st season of 'I Am SOLO' broadcast in April. While the two continued to meet as a real-life couple after the broadcast, they announced their breakup during a live broadcast commemorating the end of the season. Since then, speculation regarding their relationship has been reignited by the spread of photos from the account presumed to be operated by them.
