The latest episode of the SBS Plus and ENA reality dating show ‘I’m Solo, Then Love’ (also known as ‘I’m Solo: Love Continues’) featured 24th season cast member Youngsik making a shocking comment about fellow contestant Oksun. During a candid conversation, Youngsik said, “Even if she were a gold digger, I’d still fall for her,” referring to Oksun. The harsh expression sparked immediate tension during the show and drew strong reactions from viewers online.
The eyebrow-raising statement came as Youngsik frankly expressed confusion and frustration about Oksun’s actions and intentions, questioning whether her feelings were genuine. Viewers were quick to criticize his phrasing, saying such language was disrespectful and inappropriate, regardless of any dating dynamics involved.
Why it matters
‘I’m Solo, Then Love’ follows former cast members from earlier seasons in their continued search for love. The program has become popular for capturing authentic emotional conflicts and real relationship developments. However, Youngsik’s comment has triggered new discussions about respectful communication and boundaries in reality dating programs. As the season progresses, fans are waiting to see whether the cast—and the show’s producers—will address the controversy on-screen.
