As SBS Plus and ENA's dating reality show "I Am Solo" (I Am SOLO) Season 31 participant Yeong-ja (name changed for privacy) recently revealed her deepening passion for fencing, the fencing club she attends shared a heartwarming story that drew attention.
On the 14th, Yeong-ja posted a photo on her Instagram. The photo showed her visiting a fencing club in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.
In the photo, Yeong-ja is seen taking a selfie with a friend, looking into a mirror while holding a mobile phone camera. She captioned the photo, "A relationship closer than that of a couple. It's great to see each other on weekdays and again on weekends," expressing her affection for the bond formed through fencing.
The fencing club also shared the same photo on its official Instagram account, spreading the heartwarming story. The club wrote, "Yeong-ja, who always brings gifts whenever she visits. Please come empty-handed next time," creating a warm atmosphere.

Meanwhile, "I Am Solo" Season 31 concluded on the 27th of last month. However, some participants faced backlash after being involved in a gossip controversy. Roommates Ok-soon, Yeong-sook, and Jung-hee discussed Soon-ja, and when Soon-ja overheard their conversation by chance from another room, her distressed reaction was broadcast, escalating the controversy.
Some viewers pointed out that the three roommates had badmouthed Soon-ja. The following day after the show ended, they expressed their apologies during a live broadcast by the production company, Chonjang Entertainment, on "I Am Solo."
During the controversy, Yeong-ja was praised as "Soon-ja's Guardian" for standing by Soon-ja and offering comfort. However, after Season 31 concluded, Yeong-ja stated on her Instagram, "I currently hold a neutral stance 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, taking sides with any specific person feels like another form of bias." She thus adopted a neutral position regarding the controversy.
