'Goodbye Solo' is set to present a more provocative love reality drama with keywords such as 'multi-trillion won chaebol third-generation heir,' 'love story from an idol to a divorced person,' and 'love metaverse.'

On the afternoon of the 20th, a media day for TVING and Wave's drama 'Goodbye Solo' was held at Georam Art Hall, Sinse Square on Gangnam-daero in Gangnam-gu. Miss Korea Choi Seo-eun, Dal Shabet's Jo Ah-young, actors Song Se-rin, and Shin Su-a attended the event.

When asked about their respective characters, Jo Ah-young said, "A-rin appears to be a tough character, but she has many inner wounds and is fragile. However, she becomes a source of vitality in the drama. Please watch her growth."

Choi Seo-eun stated, "Hye-soo may seem hard to approach, but she is a warm older sister. She is an 'MZ shaman' and will show surprising charm."

Shin Su-a remarked, "Eun-ju has a very strong personality. Outwardly, she appears professional, honest, and confident, yet she wants to be seen as a woman."

Song Se-rin said, "Yu-mi is like a squirrel hiding a knife behind her back. She may appear innocent and cute on the outside, but she possesses a strong inner self."

'Goodbye Solo' is a fake reality short-form drama set in a luxury resort in Pattaya, where eight young men and women engage in a love survival game that blurs the lines between sincerity and pretense, ideals and reality. The cast includes Wanna One's Yoon Ji-sung, SF9's Baek Ju-ho, actors Moon Jin-seung and Yoon Jong-bin, Dal Shabet's Ah-young, Miss Korea Choi Seo-eun, Song Se-rin, and Shin Su-a.

'Goodbye Solo' incorporates extreme concepts into each character, such as a multi-trillion won chaebol third-generation heir and a divorced woman with a hidden, extraordinary backstory. The drama aims to deliver an even more provocative taste of real love than existing reality dating programs. Combining the excitement of love survival games with dramatic production techniques, this work is expected to provide viewers with an immersive experience as if they are directly playing a 'love simulation game' unfolding in a love metaverse (Love+Metaverse) that exists on the boundary between virtual and reality.

'Goodbye Solo' features director Kim Sung-soo, known for his delicate exploration of human inner lives and detailed direction in the drama 'Save Me,' and writer Kim Young-chan, the master of black comedy who penned films like 'No Secrets' and the 'Family Honor' series. Together, they will creatively explore the fresh concept of a virtual dating show that blurs the line between reality and fiction.

'Goodbye Solo' will be released in full on the 21st.
