'I Am SOLO' contestant Ok-sun denies marriage and pregnancy rumors

Ok-sun, a contestant from the 31st season of 'I Am SOLO,' admitted on the 26th that leaking dating photos with Yeong-ho was her own mistake. She also denied rumors of pregnancy and marriage, while pursuing legal action against false claims that she led bullying.

Ok-sun, a contestant from the 31st season of 'I Am SOLO,' has addressed the circumstances surrounding the leak of dating photos taken with Yeong-ho. While admitting the leak was her own mistake, she drew a line against marriage and pregnancy rumors, as well as various other allegations surrounding her. In particular, she strongly refuted claims labeling her as a "leader of bullying" following the broadcast and warned that she would continue legal action against the spread of false information.

On the 26th, Ok-sun released a long statement regarding the leak of the dating photos with Yeong-ho. "The photos in question were leaked due to my mistake," she explained, adding, "They were not posted to announce that marriage is imminent or that we have started dating again, and they were not released with any specific intention." She further noted, "Since this happened due to my mistake, I have expressed my regrets and apologized to the other party."

While she admitted the photos were made public, she maintained that interpreting this as an action to formalize a marriage or reconciliation is contrary to the facts. As speculation regarding the relationship between the two has continued centered around online communities, the controversy has entered a new phase with Ok-sun directly explaining the circumstances of the leak and her intentions.

Ok-sun also revealed that she has had a difficult time due to false information and distorted claims surrounding her since the broadcast of the 31st season of 'I Am SOLO.' "Since the broadcast of 'I Am SOLO' season 31 in April 2026, I have been going through exhausting times to correct my daily life, which has been stained by false facts and distorted stories, and to recover my life that was broken in the process," she wrote. She claimed that the repetitive spread of untrue content online has made even normal social life difficult.

She emphasized that legal action is also underway. Ok-sun explained that she has been taking legal steps regarding the matter and that several cases are currently proceeding according to procedure. Among the issues, she identified the allegation of "leading bullying" as the part she most clearly wants to correct.

"I am not a perpetrator who led bullying," she countered, stating that she never intentionally excluded or bullied a specific person on the filming set. She explained that the person in question was merely a colleague from the same season, and it is untrue that she continuously bullied someone she had no special friendship with and had not met separately inside or outside the filming set. She appealed for an end to the practice of labeling her as a "leader of bullying," "The Glory," or a "perpetrator" based solely on certain scenes shown in the broadcast.

Ok-sun emphasized that the purpose of this post is not to fight with anyone or continue unnecessary debates. Explaining that it is "to protect my life and correct distorted facts," she stated that she will not show leniency or overlook acts of posting false information about her or spreading already disseminated content in the future. Her post also included summaries of various allegations surrounding her and rebuttals that they are untrue.

Interest in the relationship between the two has continued steadily since the broadcast. Although Ok-sun became a final couple with Yeong-ho in the final episode of 'I Am SOLO' season 31, she has directly stated that the two have since broken up. Later, when travel photos taken with a man were released, "fake breakup" rumors were raised, to which Ok-sun clarified that the man was "a former colleague and not Yeong-ho."

Subsequently, rumors of marriage and pregnancy with Yeong-ho also surfaced. Online posts claimed that Yeong-ho proposed with a ring worth 120 million won and that he received marriage approval after overcoming parental opposition. The claims also included that Ok-sun is pregnant and that Yeong-ho, a dentist, is planning to move his clinic from Ulsan to Busan. However, the truth of these claims has not been confirmed, and Ok-sun denied the marriage and pregnancy rumors by sharing the relevant posts and writing "Stop."

Meanwhile, on the 26th, posts from an SNS account presumed to be jointly operated by Ok-sun and Yeong-ho drew attention again in online communities. Claims also emerged that these photos were posted to the anonymous professional community 'Blind' before being deleted. The released photos showed a man and a woman, appearing to be the two, hugging, kissing on the cheek, and making hand hearts, as well as spending time together at cafes, restaurants, and exhibitions. A photo at a baseball stadium captured an entrance ticket for an April 5 game, and the posting date was marked as September 27. However, the circumstances of the posting, the timing, and the specific details regarding their current relationship require separate verification.

The background of the controversy also includes conflicts between contestants that arose during the broadcast. In the 31st season broadcast, Ok-sun, Yeong-suk, and Jeong-hui, who were roommates, talked about Sun-ja, and the sight of Sun-ja suffering after accidentally overhearing this from another room led to criticism from viewers. Some viewers pointed out that the three women badmouthed Sun-ja, and they expressed their apologies during a live broadcast by the production company Chonjang Entertainment held the day after the show ended. As the controversy continued, Ok-sun stated that she takes heavily the fact that her actions and words may have hurt someone, and she stepped forward with further explanations by revealing the contents of a group chat among the female contestants.

Having admitted the dating photo leak was her mistake, Ok-sun made her intention clear to correct the facts regarding other allegations surrounding her. As the controversy surrounding the photo release, the conflicts stemming from past broadcasts, and various speculations spreading online become intertwined, attention is focused on how the relevant facts will be confirmed in the future. However, it is a time when an attitude of distinguishing between the party's explanation, online claims, and confirmed facts is necessary.
