• Reiterates Clarification on Gossip Controversy: "I Am Not the Perpetrator Who Led the Bullying... Will Respond Without Leniency to the Spread of False Information"

Season 31 Ok-soon from SBS Plus and ENA's "I Am Solo" once again opened up about various controversies surrounding her, including the leak of date photos with Young-ho.

On the 26th, Season 31 Ok-soon posted a long statement regarding the leak of date photos with Young-ho, stating, "The photos in question were leaked due to my mistake." She clarified, "They were not posted to announce that marriage was imminent or that I had started dating again, nor were they released with any specific intent. Since this incident occurred due to my error, I have conveyed my regret and apologized to the other party."

She continued, "Since the broadcast of Season 31 of 'I Am Solo' in April 2026, I have been going through a difficult time trying to correct my daily life stained with false information and distorted stories, and to recover the life that collapsed during this process." She emphasized, "Content that is not factual was repeatedly spread online as if it were true, leading to a situation where even normal social life became difficult. Accordingly, I have been pursuing legal action regarding these matters, and currently, many of the related cases are proceeding according to procedure."

In particular, Season 31 Ok-soon stated, "There is one part I most clearly want to correct," adding, "I am not the perpetrator who led the bullying. There is no fact that I intentionally excluded or ostracized a specific person on the filming set. We were merely colleagues appearing in the same season; of course, we had never met separately inside or outside the filming set, and there was no special closeness between us. The claim that I continuously ostracized such a person is also false. Please stop labeling me as the 'leader of bullying,' 'The Glory,' or 'perpetrator' based solely on the fragmented scenes revealed in the broadcast, and stop describing me with provocative expressions."

She continued, "The purpose of posting this statement is not to fight with anyone or continue unnecessary arguments. It is to protect my life and correct distorted facts." She emphasized, "Going forward, I will not show leniency or turn a blind eye to actions that post false information about me or repost, spread, or disseminate already circulated false information."

Along with this, Season 31 Ok-soon additionally listed various suspicions surrounding her and posted them as clarifications stating they were untrue.

Previously, Season 31 Ok-soon became the final couple with Young-ho in the finale of "I Am Solo" Season 31, but she directly revealed that she had broken up with Young-ho after the broadcast. Subsequently, travel photos taken with a man were released, raising speculation about a "fake breakup," but Ok-soon clarified, "He is a former colleague and not Mr. Young-ho."

Later, Season 31 Ok-soon directly clarified rumors of marriage and pregnancy with Young-ho. The relevant post included claims that Young-ho proposed to Ok-soon with a ring worth 120 million won, and that they received parental approval for marriage after overcoming their parents' opposition. It also contained claims that Ok-soon is currently pregnant and that Young-ho, a dentist, plans to move his clinic from Ulsan to Busan.

Season 31 Ok-soon shared screenshots of this unverified content with the word "Stop." She drew a line against marriage rumors surrounding herself and Young-ho, denying pregnancy rumors by asking, "Tell me how to get out of the ChatGPT marriage + pregnancy rumor," and also released a verified photo with Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, as well as recent photos from her birthday.

However, on the 26th, posts from an SNS account presumed to be jointly operated by Season 31 Ok-soon and Young-ho drew attention through OnLINE communities and others. Claims were also added that these photos had been uploaded to the anonymous workplace community "Blind" but were quickly deleted.

The released photos showed a man and woman, appearing to be Season 31 Ok-soon and Young-ho, embracing each other, kissing on the cheek, making hand hearts, and displaying behaviors typical of a romantic couple. In addition, date photos from various locations such as cafes, restaurants, and exhibitions were included. Furthermore, looking at photos taken at a baseball stadium, tickets for a game held on April 5 were visible, yet the date displayed on the post was September 27.

Meanwhile, controversy grew in "I Am Solo" Season 31 when roommates Ok-soon, Young-suk, and Jung-hee talked about Sun-ja, and the broadcast showed Sun-ja, who accidentally overheard them from another room, looking distressed. Some viewers pointed out that the trio of roommates had badmouthed Sun-ja, and they expressed their apology in a live broadcast by "I Am Solo" production company Chonjang Entertainment held the day after the finale. As the controversy did not subside, Ok-soon stated, "Regardless of my intention, I am taking it seriously that my actions and words may have hurt someone," and also took additional steps to clarify by revealing the contents of a group chat with female cast members.

◆ Full Text of Season 31 Ok-soon's Statement from 'I Am Solo'

Hello. This is Jo Yi-hyun.

First, I would like to address the photos circulated on the internet today. The photos in question were leaked due to my mistake. They were not posted to announce that marriage was imminent or that I had started dating again, nor were they released with any specific intent. Since this incident occurred due to my error, I have conveyed my regret and apologized to the other party.

Since the broadcast of Season 31 of "I Am Solo" in April 2026, I have been going through a difficult time trying to correct my daily life stained with false information and distorted stories, and to recover the life that collapsed during this process.

Content that is not factual was repeatedly spread online as if it were true, leading to a situation where even normal social life became difficult. Accordingly, I have been pursuing legal action regarding these matters, and currently, many of the related cases are proceeding according to procedure. The reason I am posting this statement now is to correct the false information that has been circulated based on evidence secured legally and objective facts.

You may wonder why I am bringing this up again now. However, while it may be just a brief gossip or topic of conversation for some, it was an issue involving my life, livelihood, and relationships for me. There is not a single case where I filed a lawsuit simply because I felt upset. I have been pursuing legal action focusing on cases that constitute the spread of false information.

And there is one part I most clearly want to correct.

I am not the perpetrator who led the bullying. There is no fact that I intentionally excluded or ostracized a specific person on the filming set. We were merely colleagues appearing in the same season; of course, we had never met separately inside or outside the filming set, and there was no special closeness between us. The claim that I continuously ostracized such a person is also false. Please stop labeling me as the 'leader of bullying,' 'The Glory,' or 'perpetrator' based solely on the fragmented scenes revealed in the broadcast, and stop describing me with provocative expressions. Defining one person as a perpetrator based solely on unverified circumstances and repeatedly spreading this is what I find most difficult.

I will not clarify every single detail. Please do not assume that the content is true or that I have acknowledged and accepted it simply because I have remained silent until now. My silence is neither an admission of the facts nor agreement with false information.

The purpose of posting this statement is not to fight with anyone or continue unnecessary arguments. It is to protect my life and correct distorted facts. Going forward, I will not show leniency or turn a blind eye to actions that post false information about me or repost, spread, or disseminate already circulated false information. If necessary, I will hold them accountable through possible civil and criminal legal procedures.

Finally, I humbly request the following.

Please stop excessively immersing yourself in my life, which has no direct connection to your own, and stop creating distorted stories by adding bizarre interpretations and baseless speculation. I hope you will also stop producing unverified stories, as well as consuming and spreading them as if they were facts. I too want to recover my collapsed daily life, return to where I belong, and live a normal life smiling as before.

Sincerely, Jo Yi-hyun
