Season 34 of "I Am SOLO" (I Am Solo) stirred up after the self-introductions.
In the episode broadcast on the 21st on SBS Plus and ENA, "I Am SOLO," featuring a "Large Family Special," the self-introductions of Season 34's solo women, along with the first date selections and the dates themselves, unfolded, captivating viewers.
During the self-introductions that day, Young-sook stated, "I was born in 1988 and work at an interior materials company." She then added, "I am the youngest of eight sisters, and since all my older sisters are married, I have 16 nieces and nephews," surprising everyone. Young-sook, who described her ideal type as "a man with clear goals and plans," showed an open attitude by saying, "Long-distance relationships are fine too." Next, Jung-sook introduced herself as, "I was born in 1993 and am a certified public accountant. I am the second child among two daughters and one son." She mentioned that she had been active in a hip-hop club since university and performed an impromptu dance on the spot, heating up the scene. Soon-ja said, "I was born in 1991 and am a nurse with 13 years of experience. I am the eldest daughter among two sons and two daughters." She further appealed by saying, "I have zero male best friends," and "Usually, it's either work, exercise, or home. I want to meet a man who can pull me out of being a 'homebody'," making the solo men's hearts flutter.
Young-ja, an Oriental medicine doctor born in 1994, revealed she was the eldest daughter by saying, "I am the firstborn and have two younger brothers." She also displayed a bold view on romance by stating, "In the past, I unconditionally dated people I liked. I am the type to make the first move." Ok-soon explained, "I was born in 1993 and am a clinical pathologist with 11 years of experience. I am the second child among two daughters and one son." She added, "I enjoy health club workouts, Pilates, and hiking." Hyun-sook, born in 1991, introduced herself by saying, "I work at a foreign pharmaceutical company. In terms of family relations, I am the eldest daughter with a younger sister and a younger brother." She also drew admiration by stating, "I once loved exercise so much that I worked out six days a week, and I play the cello as an instrument." As her ideal type, she revealed, "Someone responsible and trustworthy; physically, a man with a sturdy build."
After the self-introductions ended, Season 34 members shared their true feelings in their respective rooms. All the solo men had Soon-ja on their list of favorable candidates, forming a subtle competitive atmosphere. Young-soo highly praised her, saying, "(Soon-ja) has everything a woman should have from a marriage perspective." The solo women showed interest in Young-cheol. Soon-ja predicted that Young-ja and Hyun-sook seemed to be in the top two spots for Young-cheol, noting, "Young-cheol seems to be the type to actively express his feelings toward those he likes." In response, Young-ja said, "I don't want to fight a war," while checking the reactions around her, and Young-sook retorted, "Do you think the world is that easy?" eliciting laughter. Hyun-sook, seemingly mindful of Young-ja, smiled awkwardly in silence.

Shortly after, when everyone gathered in the common living room, Young-cheol suddenly engaged in "public flirting" with Hyun-sook. Bringing up the topic of date menus, he joked to Hyun-sook, "You said you like protein, so is it okay if I just drink shakes?" Furthermore, after hearing that Hyun-sook likes chicken, he called a friend living in Hongcheon, where "Solo Land No. 34" is located, and searched for a "chicken restaurant." Seeing Young-cheol openly show his affection toward him in front of everyone, Hyun-sook expressed her burden in an interview, saying, "I didn't know how to react."
Amid subtle shifts in emotions, the "First Date Selection" began. As the solo women chose their date partners, Young-soo wanted Soon-ja in his heart but did not receive anyone's selection, resulting in him eating a "Lonely Set Meal." Next, Young-ho said, "I want to go on a date with Hyun-sook," but he secured a "3:1 Date" by receiving selections from Soon-ja, Jung-sook, and Young-sook. Young-sik waited for Soon-ja in his heart but received 0 votes, and another "Soon-ja fan," Gwang-su, joined the "Lonely Group." On the other hand, Sang-cheol and Ok-soon had their mutual desires align, leading to a "1:1 Date."
In "Team Young-ho's" date, a rock-paper-scissors game for the front seat occurred right from the start, eliciting laughter. Upon arriving at the restaurant, Young-ho divided the meat fairly and evenly took care of any lacking side dishes. He also appealed to his family-oriented side by saying, "'A man must cook' was my mother's teaching, so I even attended a cooking academy." However, while talking with Soon-ja, Young-ho suddenly had a "pupil earthquake" upon hearing that she has "5 to 6 small tattoos on her body." Regarding this, he confessed in an interview, "I am not fond of tattoos, and my affection for (Soon-ja) dropped somewhat." The three solo women persistently asked Young-ho for his inner ranking of affection. However, he ultimately did not reveal his true feelings. After the date, Soon-ja revealed her dissatisfaction in an interview, saying, "I wanted to see if he would treat me specially, but since he is kind to everyone, it was ambiguous." Young-sook also stated, "I don't like people who are nice to everyone," expressing her intention to withdraw from "Team Young-ho."
In Young-cheol's date, the difference in emotional temperature was clearly shown. While moving by car, Young-cheol spoke more to Hyun-sook than to Young-ja. Then, when Hyun-sook struggled due to motion sickness, Young-cheol focused all his attention on her. He slowed down the car and adjusted the windows and air conditioning to care for Hyun-sook. Even after arriving at the restaurant, he continued to check on Hyun-sook's condition, and eventually said, "I have an interview (with the production team), so just a moment," and returned after a long time. It turned out he had gone to buy motion sickness medicine for Hyun-sook. Of course, he also brought vitamins for Young-ja, who looked tired, but even in the car back to the lodging, Young-cheol kept looking only at Hyun-sook. After the date, Young-cheol expressed his feelings for Hyun-sook in an interview, saying, "The expression 'tearing out my heart' might be an exaggeration, but it feels like another part of me is hurting."
In the teaser released immediately after, Sang-cheol, Gwang-su, and Young-sik were all seen requesting conversations with Soon-ja, while a tension battle between Young-ho and Young-cheol over Hyun-sook was captured, heightening curiosity for the next episode.
