[Comprehensive] In the 16th season of ‘I Am Solo’, which has a lot of talk and troubles, the final two couples all break up… The controversy continues

[Sports Chosun Reporter Baek Ji-eun] There is so much talk and so much trouble.

In the 16th final episode of ‘I’m Solo’, which aired on the 5th, Yeong-sik and Hyun-sook, and Young-cheol and Jeong-suk were depicted as the final couples. Sang-cheol chose Young-sook, but Young-sook gave up her choice. Gwangsu, Oksun, Yeongsu, Sunja, and Yeongho also did not make the final selection.

However, the number of real couples was ‘zero’.

In the live broadcast that day, Youngsik said that he had broken up with Hyunsuk, saying, “I am currently not seeing anyone seriously.”Youngcheol said, “After finishing filming in May, I went to Daegu, where Jeongsuk is, and talked to each other until late in the morning, and through our sincerity, we became a real couple. However, due to each other’s circumstances, we broke up beautifully about three weeks ago.”Jeong-suk added, “She was in a relationship with Yeong-cheol, but she is now single. Due to the differences in their situations and values, they have become a relationship that supports each other.”

The 16th season of ‘I’m Solo’ suffered from various controversies from the beginning of the broadcast.

An unprecedented situation occurred in which the cast members posted apologies three times due to the controversy over Young-sook’s attitude, the spread of fake news, the controversy over the sale of counterfeit products in shopping malls, the controversy over Sang-cheol’s political YouTube, and the controversy over Yeong-su’s abuse of power. There were also criticisms that the production team did not restrain themselves and used ordinary performers to increase viewership and topicality to parts that could have been covered by editing.

The controversy continues even after the final selection. Youngsook, who said she would not participate in the live broadcast, said the ‘last big thing’ she wanted to do was to appear on the live broadcast. Here, Youngsook is receiving fierce criticism from viewers for her excessive greeting and reaction, which is reminiscent of her acceptance speech at the year-end awards ceremony.
