"They never come first" Young-ja, Young-cheol's passivity

The Pink-Hued Dishwashing Tug-of-War That Lasted Until 4:30 AM

On the third night of entering Solo Land, Young-cheol and Young-ja from ENA/SBS PLUS 'I Am SOLO' Season 32 formed a subtle romantic tension. The video titled "※Unreleased Clip※ Season 32_ Young-cheol's 3rd Night in Solo Land," uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Chonjang Entertainment TV,' captured the sweet moments of the two cleaning up together.

Standing side by side in front of the sink, the two continued washing dishes well past 4:30 AM. From the beginning, Young-cheol honestly confessed, "I'm not that accustomed to doing dishes." However, faced with a mountain of dishes, he continued the task responsibly.

Young-ja led the task, affectionately comforting Young-cheol, who appeared awkward as it was his first time doing such heavy dishwashing labor. They also shared pleasant conversations, sharing small daily moments after joining Gyeong-su, who returned after finishing an interview. Concerned that Young-ja might be tired, Young-cheol suggested, "I'll finish all the remaining work, so please go to your room and rest comfortably." Young-ja countered, saying, "I don't want to leave Young-cheol to struggle alone," and added, "It's right to split the work, finish quickly, and all rest together."

Young-cheol perceived this dishwashing as a mission of responsibility and an achievement task that he had to complete perfectly on his own. He questioned why they were using new glass cups when drinking beer from a can would significantly reduce the amount of dishes, expressing confusion. He also bluntly expressed his frustration regarding the use of long bottles that are difficult to wash. This moment revealed Young-cheol's tendency to prioritize practical and efficient methods.

Throughout the conversation, the two worried about each other's back pain. Young-ja gave a surprise gift of soft hand cream to Young-cheol, who was working hard late into the night. Young-cheol responded with eyes filled with apology and gratitude.

"You never even ask to go for a walk" Young-ja's explosion and mismatched conversations

The sweet atmosphere cooled down rapidly as they entered the fourth day. In the ENA/SBS Plus 'I Am SOLO' episode airing at 10:30 PM on the 15th, the relationships between the Season 32 single men and women are shown to be creaking. Young-ja burst out with her accumulated resentment toward Young-cheol, saying, "Have you ever come to me first and asked, 'Young-ja, shall we go for a walk?' I find that frustrating."

Young-cheol broke into a sweat, saying, "I'm not good at those things, but I'll try to pay more attention." However, the two ran on parallel lines due to their different views on dating. Young-ja eventually returned to the women's quarters to vent her concerns to the other single women. When Young-cheol belatedly came to find her and initiated a conversation by asking, "Is Young-ja there?", Young-ja reacted coldly, saying, "I don't want to talk right now. Let's do it later."

Watching their relationship, MCs Defconn, Lee Yi-kyung, and Song Hae-na gave blunt advice: "If they cannot overcome this crisis now, the two of them can never become a couple."

Gyeong-su's sudden rise and Hyeon-suk's cold temperature difference

Meanwhile, Gyeong-su emerged as a dark horse in this date selection, sporting a wide grin. However, Hyeon-suk, who was Gyeong-su's first choice, had different thoughts. In an interview, Hyeon-suk confessed, "I think the time has come to give up on Gyeong-su," adding, "There is absolutely no signal." She further added that it felt like the time had come to wrap up her relationship with Gyeong-su.
