Ok-soon from Season 31 of SBS Plus and ENA's "I Am Solo" has once again directly addressed the "backstabbing of Soon-ja controversy." In particular, unlike when she shed tears while expressing her apology during a live broadcast, she has taken a firm stance, stating that she is not the perpetrator who led the bullying.

On the 26th, Ok-soon from Season 31 posted a lengthy statement, saying, "Since the broadcast of 'I Am Solo' Season 31 in April 2026, I have been enduring a difficult time to correct my daily life stained with false facts and distorted stories and to recover the life that was broken in the process." She emphasized, "Content that is not factual has been repeatedly spread online as if it were true, leading to a situation where even normal social life has become difficult. Accordingly, I have been proceeding with legal action regarding these matters, and currently, related cases are largely progressing according to procedure."

In particular, Ok-soon from Season 31 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 isolated a specific person within the filming set. I was merely a colleague appearing in the same season; of course, we never met separately inside or outside the filming set, and there was no special friendship. The claim that I continuously isolated someone is also false. Please stop labeling me as the 'ringleader of bullying,' 'The Glory,' or 'perpetrator' based solely on the fragmented scenes revealed on broadcast, and stop describing me with provocative expressions."

She continued, "The purpose of posting this article is not to fight with someone or continue unnecessary arguments, but 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 facts about me or repost, spread, or disseminate already circulated false facts."

Along with this, Ok-soon from Season 31 additionally listed various suspicions surrounding herself and clarified that they were untrue. The post included contents such as rumors of marriage with Yeong-ho from Season 31, pregnancy, abortion, miscarriage, sexually transmitted diseases, and controversies during her time as a spokesperson and flight attendant.

Meanwhile, the controversy over "I Am Solo" Season 31 grew after it was broadcast that roommates Ok-soon, Yeong-suk, and Jeong-hee were talking about Soon-ja, and Soon-ja, who happened to hear them from another room, appeared distressed. Some viewers pointed out that the trio of roommates had badmouthed Soon-ja, and they expressed their apology during a live broadcast by "I Am Solo" production company Chonjang Entertainment held the day after the finale. Ok-soon from Season 31 also shed tears during the live broadcast.

As the controversy did not subside afterward, Ok-soon from Season 31 stated, "I am taking it seriously that my actions and words may have hurt someone, regardless of my intention," and took additional steps to explain by revealing the contents of a group chat among female cast members.

Meanwhile, Ok-soon from Season 31 became the final couple with Yeong-ho in the finale of "I Am Solo" Season 31, but she directly revealed that she broke up with Yeong-ho after the broadcast. Subsequently, travel photos taken with a man were released, raising rumors of a "fake breakup" with Yeong-ho, but Ok-soon clarified, "He is a former company colleague, not Mr. Yeong-ho."

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

Ok-soon from Season 31 shared screenshots of the unverified content with the word "Stop." She drew a line against marriage rumors surrounding herself and Yeong-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, along with recent photos from her birthday.

However, on the 26th, posts from an SNS account presumed to be jointly operated by Ok-soon and Yeong-ho from Season 31 drew attention through online communities. In particular, claims were added that these photos were uploaded to the anonymous workplace community "Blind" but were quickly deleted.

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