Yongsu and Soon-ja, who had been friends after appearing on Season 25 of "I Am Solo," shared the surprising news of their marriage.

On the 22nd, a video titled "Solo Land News. Two years after choosing first impressions, we are now getting married. Exclusive interview with Season 25's Yongsu and Season 25's Soon-ja" was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Village Chief Entertainment TV."

In the video, Yongsu and Soon-ja revealed that they are preparing for their wedding on December 5. The two, who had been friends since appearing on "I Am Solo," began dating in August of last year and decided to get married in October, currently making preparations.

The couple also shared their wedding invitations. Yongsu said, "We got the invitations as quickly as roasting beans in a lightning flash. We greeted our parents on Sunday, came back, immediately applied for the invitations, and received them via courier the next day."

Soon-ja stated, "We had our wedding photoshoot today, so there are no photos on the invitation; instead, we included the scene of Season 25's first impression selection." Yongsu revealed, "The day we filmed that scene was December 5, 2024."

Additionally, Yongsu said, "Also, the day we sincerely decided to get to know each other with marriage in mind was August 11 this year, around Liberation Day," adding, "We have been dating for a little over two months and have never raised our voices at each other."

He added, "We acted according to our sincere selves. Then we said let's get married, let's do it this year. Since we wanted a meaningful day, we decided to get married on the second anniversary of (the first impression selection)."

Yongsu stated, "It is October 21 now, isn't it? We said 'let's get married' on October 10." He continued, "After that conversation, we booked the venue. When we looked into it urgently, everything was fully reserved. So we paid the deposit on Sunday, met our parents, and met Soon-ja's parents."

Soon-ja said, "We went to get (the rings made) right after saying let's get married."

Soon-ja revealed the reason she decided to marry despite her short romance with Yongsu. She said, "If I simply say we dated for two months, it would be difficult to choose. But we have known each other for nearly two years."

She added, "When you are a boyfriend and girlfriend, only the sides of yourselves that look good come out. But as colleagues, I saw us scolding and getting angry at each other. So I agreed to meet with marriage in mind. I felt we had gotten to know each other well enough even for a quick marriage. I also became confident in my feelings of affection."

Yongsu also revealed what made him fall for Soon-ja. He said, "I held a solo concert last year, but heavy snow fell and the roads were paralyzed. So I said 'thank you for coming,' and Soon-ja gave me warm words. That's when I thought, 'Oh, this friend is really great.'"

Soon-ja stated about Yongsu, "When we were colleagues, I saw how he treated people at gatherings." She continued, "Those aspects were lovely, and I had a lot of trust in him. Even when holding gatherings, he had drive. I felt like he was a responsible head of household."

Additionally, the couple is also preparing for their marriage registration. Yongsu said, "When we met our parents last week, we had already printed out the marriage registration form." He added, "We have a pre-wedding meeting on Wednesday next week, and we plan to register our marriage the day after."

Meanwhile, Yongsu and Soon-ja appeared together in Season 25 of SBS Plus and ENA's "I Am Solo" last year.
