'I Am Solo' has seen a whirlwind of emotions begin among the 31st batch of participants.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, the SBS Plus and ENA reality dating program 'I Am Solo,' which aired on the 22nd, recorded an average viewership of 3.3% (based on combined SBS Plus and ENA figures for cable households in the capital region), with a peak viewership of 4.03% in a single minute. The "best minute" featured Sun-ja and Kyung-soo engaging in a "1-on-1 conversation," during which they both declared each other their top priority.

As the second date selection took place that day, the results deviated from expectations, revealing a scene where the romance dynamics of the 31st batch were shaken.

On the third morning at 'Solo Nation, Address 31,' Sun-ja couldn't sleep a wink, thinking of Kyung-soo all night. Even in her exhausted state, she headed to the common living room to make kimchi and bean sprout soup, recalling Kyung-soo's earlier comment that he had been craving the dish. A short while later, Kyung-soo appeared and praised Sun-ja as the "31st batch's Daejang-geum," making Sun-ja happy. The two naturally went out for a morning walk. After the walk, in an interview with the production team, Sun-ja confessed that her feelings had deepened to the point of imagining marriage, saying, "I smile so well when I'm with this person."

'Roommates' Young-soo and Young-sik immediately went for a morning run after waking up. At that moment, Jeong-sook entered the common living room, bumped into Young-sik, and joined the run. Before heading out, Young-soo spotted Sun-ja cooking in the kitchen, quickly handed her a fatigue-recovery drink, and expressed his interest. After finishing their run, Young-sik and Jeong-sook continued their 1-on-1 conversation, forming a shared understanding on topics such as their approach to spending the day and their values, centered around their common interest in exercise.

At the same time, Jeong-hei, who was completely unaware of the two's run, arrived at the common living room after getting dressed up and was flustered upon learning that Young-sik and Jeong-sook had gone running together. In an interview with the production team regarding this, Jeong-hei expressed her disappointment toward Young-sik, saying, "I wondered if I couldn't satisfy him (Young-sik) 100%." Later, after speaking with Jeong-sook, Jeong-hei asked, "How about Young-sik?" When Jeong-sook replied, "I like him," Jeong-hei could no longer hold back her emotions, went to find Ok-soon, and burst into tears, saying, "I want to go home."

At the breakfast table, Young-sook sat next to Kyung-soo and actively expressed her interest. Sun-ja, witnessing this, could not hide her wary gaze. Later, Young-sook called Sun-ja aside for a private conversation. At that meeting, Sun-ja emphatically stated without hesitation, "Kyung-soo is my top priority." Young-sook also made it clear that her interest in Kyung-soo had grown, creating a tense atmosphere.

Ok-soon openly expressed her feelings between Young-ho and Sang-cheol. When Sang-cheol approached Ok-soon first to express his regret over their conversation ending too quickly the previous day, Ok-soon firmly stated her dating style, saying, "I'm the type who quickly sorts out priorities." Sang-cheol stepped back in response to Ok-soon's resolute attitude. Subsequently, Ok-soon playfully flirted with Young-ho, saying, "I think we wouldn't fight if we dated."

Around the same time, Jeong-hei saw Young-sik enter the common living room and responded cynically, "That's nice. He's getting a meal." Noticing the tense atmosphere, Young-sik called Jeong-hei aside for a conversation. Jeong-hei confessed that she had felt jealous of Young-sik and Jeong-sook, admitting, "Actually, I cried this morning." She added, "The situation itself of having to talk to someone else was difficult." Young-sik carefully offered comfort, saying, "I'm sorry if I caused you emotional turmoil," but in an interview with the production team, he revealed his own confusion, stating, "I'm wondering whether I should go straight for one person," expressing how unsettled he felt due to Jeong-hei's tears.

Young-soo called Young-ja aside for a walk date. Sitting side by side on a swing by the seaside, the two quickly grew closer as they discovered surprisingly compatible humor. Young-soo expressed his interest by saying, "You're cute." Upon returning to the lodging, Young-ja told the other single women, "It seems Kyung-soo doesn't have much interest in me, so I'm wondering if I should move on. On the other hand, I feel like Young-soo might come to me."

Meanwhile, while conversing with Jeong-sook, Kyung-soo honestly admitted that he was currently looking at about two people, indicating his interest in Jeong-sook had waned. In response, Jeong-sook acknowledged that she had been too casual in choosing Young-soo instead of Kyung-soo the previous day out of concern for a "many-to-one date," saying, "In the end, I think I was too casual." She then sadly concluded her relationship with Kyung-soo.

Shortly after, the second date selection took place. In this date matching where the single men made their choices, Young-sook wanted Kyung-soo, but was flustered when Kwang-su chose her. Kwang-su said, "I'll try one more time at the end," and selected Young-sook, who had rejected him the previous day, securing the luck of a "1-on-1 date." Sun-ja was chosen by both Kyung-soo and Young-soo, confirming a 2-on-1 date. Meanwhile, Young-ja had expected Young-soo, but when Young-cheol approached her, she felt like a "fool" and fell into a "mental breakdown."

Ok-soon ended up in a stable 1-on-1 date with Young-ho, while Jeong-hei was chosen by both Young-sik and Sang-cheol, forming another 2-on-1 dynamic. Jeong-sook was not chosen by anyone, confirming her "lonely meal."

During the 'Team Sun-ja' date, Kyung-soo and Sun-ja created a "Gsa-sa-se" (intimate) atmosphere from the start, alienating Young-soo. Seeing Sun-ja's gaze and reactions constantly directed toward Kyung-soo throughout the conversation, Young-soo concluded in an interview with the production team, "Her heart is already set on that side," and fell into deep thought. Immediately afterward, during the "1-on-1 conversation," Young-soo tried to sort out his feelings, and Sun-ja also rejected him, saying, "I don't want to take up someone else's good time."

Conversely, during the "1-on-1 conversation" with Kyung-soo, Sun-ja firmly stated, "I currently have only one person I like." Kyung-soo replied, "You are indeed my current top priority," but also mentioned Young-sook, adding, "Still, I do have a little desire to get to know someone else," which made Sun-ja uncomfortable.

The following preview showed Young-sook and Kwang-su shedding tears one after another during their dates, along with a scene where Sun-ja and Young-sook directly confront each other over Kyung-soo, raising curiosity about the next episode.
