Yeongja (pseudonym), a cast member of the 31st batch of SBS Plus and ENA's dating reality program "I Am Solo" (I Am SOLO), has directly addressed the controversy surrounding gossip and exclusion involving Sunja.

On the 28th, via her Instagram, Yeongja stated, "I currently hold a neutral position in any relationship," adding, "I do not wish to create uncomfortable relationships with anyone. In a situation where I have not personally experienced conflict, suffered harm, or been hurt, expecting me to side with a specific person feels like another form of division."

She further added, "I simply want to be someone who supports others." This statement has drawn particular attention as it follows the release of photos from the 31st batch cast members' after-party. The photos captured the 31st batch cast members gathered for Village Head Entertainment's live broadcast on that day.

While most cast members, including Yeongja, Yeong-su, Yeong-sook, Ok-soon, Kwang-su, Jeong-sook, Yeong-cheol, Jeong-hee, and Yeong-sik, were present together, Sunja and her boyfriend Kyung-su, who were at the center of the gossip and exclusion controversy, were not seen, sparking curiosity. Some speculated that Sunja may have skipped the event due to unresolved tensions with her roommates Ok-soon, Yeong-sook, and Jeong-hee.

Previously, during the controversy, Yeongja was praised as the "Sunja Guardian" for standing by Sunja, her roommate, and offering comfort.

Meanwhile, the 31st batch of "I Am Solo" faced controversy over gossip and exclusion during its broadcast. Scenes aired in which roommates Ok-soon, Yeong-sook, and Jeong-hee discussed Sunja, and the controversy escalated when Sunja accidentally overheard them. Some viewers pointed out that the three roommates effectively badmouthed Sunja.

MC Defconn, who witnessed the situation, remarked, "This is an unintentional gossip session," while MC Song Hae-na also expressed discomfort, saying, "This is not right. You need to be more careful with your words."

Subsequently, during Village Head Entertainment's live broadcast on the 28th, Sunja revealed, "I felt like an uncomfortable presence within this group. After that, I decided not to attend any gatherings with the female cast members, and a 'Girls Talk' group chat was also created." She further shared that while she ended her relationship with Jeong-hee, she did not accept apologies from other members, deeming them insincere. In response, Yeong-sook and Ok-soon apologized to Sunja, expressing their regret.
