'I Am Solo' 32nd batch special featuring divorced singles appeared to be wrapping up their love lines.

On the 22nd episode of ENA and SBS Plus's real dating program 'I Am SOLO', scenes were shown of the 32nd batch participants going on evening dates determined by the men's choices.

That day, Young-soo and Young-sik engaged in a subtle power struggle as they went on a "2:1 date" with Young-sook. Young-sik set the mood by saying, "My car is small, so it would be more comfortable for Ms. Young-sook to sit in the back seat," while Young-soo openly targeted the seat next to Young-sook, stating, "I'm going to wait and see where Ms. Young-sook chooses before I get in." After a brief moment of hesitation, Young-sook said she would just sit alone in the back seat, but Young-soo instead interpreted this as a signal of hope. In an interview, he revealed, "I thought there might be another possibility. It seemed like Ms. Young-sook was being considerate of me, so I felt I had to take that as a sign of hope."

Young-cheol and Young-ja formed a cold atmosphere from the start of their date. The two did not exchange a single word in the car on the way to the restaurant. After 11 minutes of silence, MC Defconn exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen such a cold war couple," shaking his head. Even after arriving at the restaurant, the two spoke in sharp tones and eventually erupted into an argument. After the argument continued for as long as 1 hour and 40 minutes, Young-ja burst into tears. Although Young-cheol offered her tissues and candy, Young-ja became annoyed by Young-cheol's excessive consideration of offering her more than two pieces of candy. Seeing that Young-ja was not accepting his signal of reconciliation, Young-cheol drew a line first, saying, "Let's just be brother and sister. I think we'll get along well." Young-ja nodded but could not hide her troubled expression.

In contrast, laughter blossomed during the date between Kwang-soo and Ok-soon. Ok-soon readily accepted Kwang-soo's dad jokes, and even after seeing the hot pack attached to the back of Ok-soon's clothes, Kwang-soo complimented her with flirtatious remarks like, "You look pretty. I thought it was a wing design." After the date, Kwang-soo revealed in an interview, "(With Ms. Ok-soon) I felt good because we don't have many differences in our thoughts." Hyun-sook and Kyung-soo also enjoyed a date where they reconfirmed their feelings for each other. When Hyun-sook asked, "Have you thought about watching a late-night movie or going out together after the final selection?" Kyung-soo immediately replied, "Of course I have." After the date, Hyun-sook confessed, "My intention to give up on (Mr. Kyung-soo) did not fade away again."

Meanwhile, Young-sik and Young-sook went on a "2:1 date" with Young-soo, who deployed a "strategist-style flirting" tactic. He brought up topics that could showcase his professional expertise as an accountant and led the conversation while building a regional rapport with Young-sook. However, during their "1:1 conversation," Young-sook informed him that she had already made up her mind and was leaning toward Young-sik. Subsequently, Young-sook conveyed this fact to Young-sik, who expressed his joy by saying, "Now there's nothing holding me back."

As night fell, a late-night snack party was held in the common living room. Jeong-sook asked Young-soo, who resembled actor Jung Woo-sung, to deliver the famous line from the movie 'A Moment to Remember': "If you drink this, we're dating." Young-soo immediately attempted the famous Jung Woo-sung line, and while Jeong-sook joked, "What if I don't drink it?" she downed the beverage in one gulp. Following this, Jeong-sook requested a "1:1 conversation" with Young-soo and then boldly declared, "I have already ended things with Young-ho. Next, I want to get to know Mr. Young-soo better. If I win the 'Super Date Ticket,' I plan to use it on you."

Around the same time, Young-ho approached Jeong-hee and appealed, "If I win tomorrow's 'Super Date Ticket,' I intend to use it on Ms. Jeong-hee." However, Jeong-hee suggested that they might not be a good match due to Young-ho's driving habits and other factors. Young-ho actively explained, "I'm the kind of person who hits the brakes and signals with my hand for someone to get out if they try to cut in on me (in my car). I can even install a dashcam later." Following this, Jeong-hee, whose heart had opened up, expressed her interest in an interview: "Mr. Young-ho said he would do whatever it takes to win the 'Super Date Ticket,' and I am grateful for that. I look forward to it."

On the morning of the fifth day, Young-soo visited Sun-ja. He mentioned that Jeong-sook had appealed to him the previous day about using the "Super Date Ticket" on her, adding flirtatiously, "But I don't want to leave a regret with Ms. Sun-ja since we share golf as a common interest." However, he suddenly added that he had also considered choosing to use the "Super Date Ticket" on Young-sook and Jeong-sook, leaving Sun-ja bewildered. Witnessing this, MC Song Hae-na expressed frustration at Young-soo's manner of speaking, asking, "Why do you keep making yourself feel like a second choice to women?"

Ok-soon called out Sang-cheol to end their relationship. Sang-cheol accepted it coolly and later stated in an interview, "It's regrettable, but I think respecting and accepting her decision is the right thing to do," remaining composed. Kwang-soo visited the women's dormitory and proposed a "music walk" to Ok-soon. The two walked while sharing earphones and discussed the meaning of the "final selection." After the walk, Kwang-soo expressed his emotional state in an interview: "I think I'm falling in love with Ms. Ok-soon. It feels less like being completely submerged and more like just before rolling up my pants to step into the water?" Young-cheol also visited Young-ja once again. Young-ja apologized first, saying, "I was sensitive yesterday," and Young-cheol replied, "Thank you for saying that." The two concluded their conversation by agreeing to maintain a comfortable brother-sister relationship moving forward.

Amid the chaotic situation, 'I Am SOLO' held its first-ever "Super Date Ticket" team competition between teams. Divided into the "Solo Team" and the "Nara Team," the first game was the "32-second run." Here, Young-soo demonstrated eldest-brother leadership and led the "Solo Team" to victory. The second game, "Round and Round," saw an intense physical battle. As the game became too heated, the production team declared a halt for the safety of the participants, and after a rematch, the "Nara Team" emerged victorious. With the score tied once again, a preview released immediately afterward showed Young-ja displaying barefoot determination while competing earnestly before confessing her true feelings: "If I win the 'Super Date Ticket,' I intended to use it on my brother Young-cheol," delivering a plot twist.
