[Sports Chosun’s Reporter Cho Yoon-sun] Eventually, tears that Sunja had held back began to fall.
On the episode of SBS Plus·ENA’s real dating program ‘I Am SOLO’ that aired on the 13th, the 31st generation of singles engaged in intense competition for the prized super date ticket.
In a women’s running competition that day, Sunja, who was Kyungsoo’s top choice, and Youngsook, his second choice, fiercely vied for the lead. Just before reaching the finish line, Youngsook tripped over her own leg and fell, allowing Sunja to come in first and secure the super date ticket.
Back in the room, Youngsook looked at her scraped hand and remarked, “Is this the wound of glory?” Oksun praised her by saying, “You’re cool. In our hearts, you’re number one, Youngsook.”
Later, when people in the adjacent room began mentioning her again, Sunja crouched in front of the door and started crying. In an interview with the production team, Sunja said, “I was struggling too, but when I heard the roommates saying, ‘You did well, Youngsook. You are the winner,’ it bothered me a lot,” and “I hate that kind of thing, but before I knew it, I was standing by the door. I could hear them talking about me,” she said tearfully.
Youngsook even insisted that “my leg tripped over someone’s leg and I fell,” which was seen as an excuse. MC Song Hae-na, watching this, expressed her anger by saying, “No, what’s wrong with her? Stop it. Watch what you say.”
At this point, Kyungsoo went to the women’s dormitory to give a bag to Sunja. Finding Youngsook in the room with the door open, he asked if she was okay, and Youngsook, thinking he had come to talk to her, greeted him cheerfully.
Listening by the door, Sunja returned to her room after just receiving the bag and began to cry once more. Surprised, Yeongja asked, “Are you in a lot of pain?” Sunja replied, “My heart feels heavy. I’m stressed, and my upper stomach hurts.”
Sunja confessed, “I didn’t feel good hearing my name come up in that room. Seeing Kyungsoo checking on Youngsook’s injury when he came to bring me my bag made me really jealous. The difficult emotions felt like they were piling up like layers of lasagna,” she shared.
