Soon-ja from Season 31 of SBS Plus and ENA’s “I Am Solo” shared a candid update on her current life since appearing on the show.

Season 31’s Soon-ja appeared in a video titled “Since I Came Just to Look at Book Covers,” released on the YouTube channel ‘Dean Ra Ar’ on the 27th.

In the video, Season 31’s Soon-ja stated that she is currently working as a book designer at a publishing company and was asked, “Have you received offers from various programs since appearing on ‘I Am Solo’?”

Season 31’s Soon-ja said, “It is very difficult to return to my previous daily life. So I am now living while adapting to this somewhat changed environment.” She added, “A major change is that I have been taking on many other jobs concurrently, making it hard to devote all my energy to work at the company.”

She continued, “Because there was a lot of work at the company, I also stepped down from my team leader position. I gave the team leader role to one of our team members and voluntarily cut my salary by nearly half. Now I am working shortened hours, leaving two hours earlier than before.”

Season 31’s Soon-ja added, “I had a discussion with my boss about concurrent employment, and __NAME_0__ also readily agreed that I could take on more side work.”

In May, Season 31’s Soon-ja and Kyung-su from “I Am Solo” chose each other as their final picks, becoming the show’s final couple. After filming ended, they developed into a real-life romantic relationship.

Additionally, Season 31 of “I Am Solo” was one of the seasons that drew significant attention due to controversies over backbiting and bullying during the broadcast. The controversy erupted after footage aired showing her roommates Ok-soon, Young-suk, and Jung-hee talking about Soon-ja, which Soon-ja happened to overhear from another room, revealing her distress.

Some viewers pointed out that the three roommates may have been badmouthing Soon-ja. In response, Ok-soon, Young-suk, and Jung-hee expressed their apologies regarding the controversy during a live broadcast by “I Am Solo” production company Chonjang Entertainment held the day after the finale.
