In "I Am SOLO" (I Am Solo), Season 33 participants Yeong-ho and Soon-ja, as well as Yeong-cheol and Jeong-suk, became the final couples, starring in a "happy ending."

The final episode of the Season 33 special of ENA and SBS Plus's "I Am SOLO," broadcast on September 30, unfolded the last story of the season, from a fierce competition for the "Super Date Ticket" to the final selection. According to Nielsen Korea data, the episode recorded an average viewership rating of 4.7% (based on paid broadcasting households in the metropolitan area, combined figures for ENA and SBS Plus), with a peak per-minute rating reaching 5.3%. It also ranked first among all programs in the "Men and Women 20-49" demographic, which is the target audience for "I Am SOLO," with a rating of 3.2%. The "Best Minute" was occupied by the scene where Gwang-su and Hyeon-suk were on their "Super Date."

On the fourth day at "Solo Island No. 33," the competition for the "Super Date Ticket" began. Gwang-su displayed a competitive spirit that defied everyone's expectations from the early stages of the game. Young-ja expressed her surprise, saying, "I actually thought Mr. Gwang-su was weak, but I was shocked by how well he played," while Young-suk also noted his new appeal, stating, "I felt he was the most 'teto-nam' (a term implying a man who is physically fit or attractive) among the six men." In particular, when the number "4" appeared in the "Round and Round" game, Gwang-su performed an extraordinary feat by hugging Soon-ja, Jeong-suk, and Ok-soon all at once, securing the "Super Date Ticket."

After the competition for the "Super Date Ticket" ended, the male and female participants of the season each used their "Date Tickets." After much deliberation, Jeong-suk requested a "Super Date" with Yeong-cheol, and the two went on to experience pottery making. Initially, the atmosphere was so awkward that silence filled the car, but they naturally grew closer as they made pottery together. Soon-ja proposed a "Super Date" to Yeong-ho, and they enjoyed a cafe date. At an atmospheric cafe, Yeong-ho performed card magic while placing his hand over Soon-ja's in a gesture of physical intimacy. Impressed by Yeong-ho's smooth flirting, MC Defconn remarked, "This person is not 'mo-sol' (single). He is a divorcee!" After the date, Soon-ja candidly revealed in an interview that while it was "a highly intentional act of physical intimacy," she "wanted to stay close to him continuously."

Sang-cheol, who had secured a "Super Date Ticket," went to see Young-ja after much thought. He made a move on her, saying, "I denied it, but after going around in circles, I wanted to get to know you once more." However, Young-ja became confused by her own feelings and shed tears of self-reproach in an interview after the date, stating, "I thought excitement was my heart pounding, but here, it was actually uncomfortable feelings," followed by, "Why did I come here if this is how it would be? It's so foolish." Young-suk requested a "Super Date Ticket" from Yeong-sik and spent time alone with him at a cafe. There, Young-suk directly asked Yeong-sik, "Did you ever feel 'heart-fluttering' for me?" Yeong-sik replied, "Rather than heart-fluttering, just consistently… and I am grateful." Young-suk asked back, "Grateful?" and smiled bitterly. After their "1:1 conversation," Young-suk revealed in an interview that "there wasn't much static electricity" and confessed that Yeong-sik's excessive consideration was a burden. Subsequently, Young-suk also had a "Super Date" with Gwang-su. Gwang-su had previously acquired two "Super Date Tickets"; he used one for Hyeon-suk out of a sense of "human gratitude," taking her to a sushi restaurant, and used the remaining one for Young-suk, whom he had romantic interest in. During their meal date accompanied by background music, Young-suk told Gwang-su, "You are cute, so I keep wanting to joke around with you," treating him like a younger brother and naturally setting boundaries.

On the evening of the fourth day, a fluctuating love line was captured. Hyeon-suk identified Yeong-su as the man who had changed the most from her first impression, saying, "I didn't know he was a gag character." Yeong-ho teased, "What if you had known about Mr. Yeong-su's cheerful side from the first day?" to which Hyeon-suk replied, "I really think I would have chosen him (for a date)." Yeong-ho subtly passed this along to Yeong-su, who responded with "Really?" and started a hopeful loop. Later, even though it was past 2:00 AM, Yeong-su went to find Hyeon-suk, but she was already asleep. The next morning, seeing Hyeon-suk preparing food in the kitchen, Yeong-su appealed by saying, "I went to look for you around 2:00 AM." Hearing this, Hyeon-suk laughed and said, "Liar!" adding, "You can tell me (the reason) now." Yeong-su expressed regret, saying, "It's a bit difficult because the cameras are on right now," and they all had breakfast together.

After the meal, the male participants of the season unleashed their "final moves." Yeong-sik created his own "Precious Person Date" by calling Young-suk out and presenting her with a bouquet of flowers and a letter. Similarly, for Jeong-suk, who had received zero votes on the first day and thus did not receive a doll, Yeong-cheol gifted her a recorded doll that paid homage to that moment, a gerbera bouquet, and a handwritten letter. Jeong-suk expressed her gratitude, saying, "These are the first flowers I have ever received from a man in my life." Yeong-ho also handed Soon-ja a handwritten letter, proposing, "Be my first love! No, be my last love." Gwang-su also activated his unpredictable "direct mode" at the last moment. Having watched other single men express their feelings in their own ways, he asked, "Should I propose right now?" and suddenly went to find Jeong-suk. After confessing to Jeong-suk that "even if it's not perfect, I should do my best to express my heart," Gwang-su picked up a nearby stone and proposed on the spot. Stumped by Gwang-su's difficult "stone performance," Jeong-suk could not finish her sentence. In an interview, Gwang-su emphasized that he had done his best in "Solo Island," stating, "I think it is better to do something and regret it."

Finally, the time for the final selection arrived. Defying everyone's expectations, Yeong-su went directly for Hyeon-suk. Surprised by Yeong-su's bold move, Hyeon-suk asked, "Wasn't that a rehearsal?" Yeong-su stated, "I think it is not right to judge a person without even trying. I want to get to know you properly." However, Hyeon-suk gave up on making a final selection. Yeong-ho and Soon-ja chose each other, becoming the first couple. Following this, Yeong-sik chose Young-suk, but Young-suk did not make a final selection. In an interview, Young-suk revealed, "I did not choose because I was afraid of hurting a good person." Sang-cheol, Young-ja, and Ok-soon also gave up on making final selections. Finally, both Yeong-cheol and Gwang-su turned to Jeong-suk, but after much deliberation, Jeong-suk chose Yeong-cheol. Thus, two final couples were born: Yeong-ho and Soon-ja, and Yeong-cheol and Jeong-suk. Gwang-su placed significance on his honest expression of feelings, saying, "If I hadn't done it, I think the thought 'what if I had been chosen' would have kept coming to me."

Meanwhile, Season 34 of "I Am SOLO," featuring a "Multiple Births Special," will be released on the 7th.
