'I Am Solo' 31st episode featuring Ok-soon, who was embroiled in controversy over backbiting, had its airtime minimized.

'I Am Solo,' a dating reality show on ENA and SBS Plus, aired its 31st episode on the 13th.

'This episode drew significant attention as it was the first to be broadcast after Ok-soon, Jung-hee, and Young-sook were caught gossiping about Sun-ja on the 6th.

'In the actual broadcast, Ok-soon was not fully edited out and appeared in some scenes. He was seen dating Yeong-ho and having a conversation with Jung-hee and Young-sook in a room. Notably, during the Super Date mission, he told the disappointed Young-sook, "In our hearts, the number one is Young-sook."

'Although not fully edited, Ok-soon's airtime was noticeably reduced. In scenes where he was conversing with Jung-hee and Young-sook in a room, he either lay motionless or barely participated in the conversation.

'Instead of minimizing Ok-soon's airtime, the episode on this day featured poetry reading, Pansori dictation missions, and running competitions that occupied a significant amount of airtime.

'While relationships and psychology among participants are crucial in dating reality shows, this episode gave too much weight to missions and competitions. Consequently, viewers poured out criticism, calling it "just to fill airtime."

'Meanwhile, the 31st episode of 'I Am Solo,' which was embroiled in backbiting controversy, is boasting unprecedented buzz. According to ratings survey company Nielsen Korea, the episode recorded an average viewership of 4.3% (combined ENA and SBS Plus figures for cable households in the capital area), with a peak viewership per minute reaching 4.94%. This result broke the show's own highest viewership record for the year, and in the target demographic of 'men and women aged 20-49,' it achieved 2.8%, ranking first among all Wednesday programs. In the 'Fun Index Chart' compiled by Good Data Corporation (announced on May 12), it topped the 'Non-drama Buzz' category.
