'I Am a Solo' Season 31 has produced three final couples.

In the ENA·SBS Plus reality dating program 'I Am a Solo' broadcast on the 27th, after fierce romance battles among the 31st batch of single men and women, Yeongsik-Jeonghee, Yeongho-Oksun, and Gyeongsoo-Sunja chose each other.

On the night before the final selection, Sunja returned to the lodging with a bright expression after finishing a '1-on-1 date' with Gyeongsoo. Sunja's 'roommate' Yeongja teased her, saying, "You looked so gloomy before going out on the date~" to which Sunja replied, "Is the 'Sun' in Sunja the 'Sun' from 'simple'?" At the same time, Gyeongsoo returned to the room and read the letter Yeongsuk had given him again. The letter contained Yeongsuk's sincere wish, "I want to get to know you even outside." In an interview, Gyeongsoo expressed complex emotions, saying, "The fact that someone wrote a letter thinking of me was a special gift in itself."

In the shared living room, the love triangle between Gyeongsoo, Sunja, and Yeongsuk became even more apparent. While Gyeongsoo and Sunja sat side by side talking, Yeongsuk kept her ears perked up, listening intently to their voices. Later, when Gyeongsoo approached Yeongsuk, who was preparing a meal, Sunja followed Gyeongsoo and acted as a 'tightly guarded' companion. Even at the dining table, Sunja claimed the seat next to Gyeongsoo. When Yeongsuk sat on Gyeongsoo's other side, Sunja removed a grain of rice stuck to Gyeongsoo's head, displaying their intimacy.

As night deepened, the final date selection before the ultimate choice took place. Yeongsu stood up first, but none of the single women chose him. When it was Yeongho's turn, Oksun stood up without hesitation. During Yeongsik's turn, only Jeonghee stood up, confirming the '1-on-1 date.' Both Yeongcheol and Kwangsoo wanted Yeongja, but Yeongja ultimately chose no man. Finally, it was Gyeongsoo's turn; Sunja quickly stood up, and contrary to everyone's expectations, Yeongsuk did not stand up.

In the final '1-on-1 date' between Yeongsik and Jeonghee, their emotional bond deepened. Yeongsik confessed about the letter Jeonghee wrote, saying, "I felt it was sincere, and I liked it." The two then discussed their parents and views on love, painting a picture of their future. Yeongho and Oksun also exuded the atmosphere of a real-life couple. Oksun asked, "How was it since you came here?" to which Yeongho replied, "I think it was a good decision," shedding tears. He thanked Oksun, saying, "I feel like I've found a place where I can rest," and Oksun warmly comforted him. Yeongho made a confident statement, looking beyond just becoming a final couple, saying, "We should live together for the rest of our lives."

Gyeongsoo and Sunja went on a date filled with sweetness and a strange tension. Sunja said, "I was anxious until the end, wondering if it would become a 'many-to-one date'," but Gyeongsoo replied, "I was looking forward to ('many-to-one date')," leaving Sunja flustered. Immediately after, in an interview, Gyeongsoo revealed, "I naturally thought Yeongsuk would stand up too," and added, "She was different from the personality I expected, so I was slightly disappointed." Eventually, after finishing the date with Sunja, Gyeongsoo went to find Yeongsuk. Gyeongsoo asked, "Why didn't you stand up?" Yeongsuk explained, "How could I convey my feelings when Sunja was with you? I thought we could make time separately," and "It's not the final choice yet. We can make a sprint when there's one round left." Gyeongsoo laughed, saying, "Wow, that's really shocking," and in a subsequent interview, he showed signs of being deeply shaken, saying, "It felt like a situation where someone I thought was finished could become number one again."

On the morning of the final day, Yeongsuk went to a stationery store with Jeonghee to prepare an event for Gyeongsoo. However, they spotted Gyeongsoo there choosing a gift. After purchasing a scarf and hairpins, Gyeongsoo took Sunja to the seaside and gave her the gifts, excluding the scarf, along with a handwritten letter. The letter written by Gyeongsoo contained his sincere words, "You were always my number one priority at every moment," and Sunja was deeply moved upon reading it. Yeongsuk, who had watched the two from afar, made a final move after much deliberation. Yeongsuk called out to Gyeongsoo and presented a 'sketchbook event.' Yeongsuk appealed one last time, saying, "I wanted to give up, but if I do nothing, it's zero," and Gyeongsoo exclaimed, "You're truly amazing. You're cool."

Finally, the moment of the final choice arrived. Yeongho and Oksun, and Yeongsik and Jeonghee, became the final couples as everyone expected. Following them, Jeongsuk, Sangcheol, Kwangsoo, Yeongsu, Yeongcheol, and Yeongja gave up on the final choice. Gyeongsoo, holding the scarf he bought at the stationery store, said, "I will make my final choice to someone I want to get to know better after leaving Solo Land," walked straight to Sunja, and wrapped the scarf around her. Seeing this, Yeongsuk gave up on the final choice with a bitter smile, saying, "I have no regrets." Finally, Sunja said, "I will choose the person who made me laugh the most here," and went to Gyeongsoo. Having gone through emotional turmoil, Sunja, who achieved a happy outcome, smiled, saying, "I said I prefer to seize what I like, and I feel I've succeeded." Gyeongsoo promised, "I'll try to express myself more when we're outside." Yeongho and Oksun happily declared, "From today, it's Day 1," while Yeongsik and Jeonghee showed confident physical affection, not only holding hands but also embracing.
