Season 31 participants Ok-soon, Yeong-sook, and Jung-hee of the dating show "I Am Single" are facing strong criticism from viewers over a backbiting controversy involving Sun-ja.
In the SBS Plus and ENA dating variety program "I Am Single" Season 31, which aired on the 6th, Ok-soon was shown backbiting Sun-ja alongside Yeong-sook and Jung-hee.
Yeong-sook, who has feelings for Gyeong-su, expressed her discomfort with Sun-ja to her roommate Jung-hee and Ok-soon, saying, "Even if she just sits next to me in the living room, (Ms. Sun-ja) seems very uncomfortable."
In response, Ok-soon sided with Yeong-sook, stating, "She (Sun-ja) has basically tied up Mr. Gyeong-su," "They even made plans for the next day in advance," and "The two of them don't get along."
However, Sun-ja, who was in a nearby room, overheard the conversation. In an interview with the production team, Sun-ja expressed her distress, saying, "I have to pretend I didn't hear it, so the stress keeps piling up."

Watching this unfold in the studio, MC Deafcon sharply advised Ok-soon, Jung-hee, and Yeong-sook, "You must apologize to Sun-ja." Deafcon also shook his head, saying, "Oh my, this is too much. It's too scary. Sisters, this is really too much." Song Hae-na also wore a stern expression, while Lee Yi-kyung expressed concern for Sun-ja, saying, "Ms. Sun-ja is visible to everyone."
As this scene was broadcast, criticism has poured down on Ok-soon, Yeong-sook, and Jung-hee for backbiting Sun-ja.
Some netizens have reacted with comments such as "Worst villains ever," "This isn't backbiting; it's like spitting in someone's face," "Truly violent," and "The worst character."
