'I am SOLO' Season 33, a first impression proposal from a single guy... Youngsik-Youngja's date brings 'positivity + conflict'

The self-introductions and first impression proposals of the participants were revealed in the 33rd season special of ″I am SOLO,″ a real dating program broadcast on SBS Plus and ENA, featuring participants who have never dated before. In the broadcast, the 33rd season single men carried out a mission to deliver a bouquet and a teddy bear with a recorded message to the single woman they chose as their number one first impression. The production team instructed them to ″do it discreetly, secretly, and greatly,″ and the participants proceeded with the mission in their own ways, looking for places to hide the gifts or waiting for the right timing. Young-chul gave Young-ja a bouquet and a teddy bear, and Young-ja expressed her gratitude, saying, ″It’s the first time a man has given me flowers and a doll.″ Young-soo expressed his affection by handing a bouquet to Young-sook, but an awkward situation occurred when the recorded message in the teddy bear did not play properly. Young-sik used a car trunk to sit with Young-ja and held a proposal event, and Young-ho conveyed his feelings about his first impression to Soon-ja under the pretext of looking at the yard lights of the dormitory. Kwang-soo appeared nervous while delivering the gift, and Sang-chul gave a teddy bear to Young-ja, who had chosen him as her number one first impression. In the morning, Young-sik, Young-chul, and Young-ho delivered a meal prepared with bread and fruit to the women’s dormitory. Young-sik and Young-ja successfully matched for the ″Benefactor Date″ and enjoyed a morning date together. During this time, Young-ja showed tears while talking about family and religion, and after the conversation with Young-sik, she revealed her inner thoughts, saying, ″It would be so nice to have a husband like this,″ but in the interview, she stated, ″I didn’t feel like I wanted to know more,″ and ″I just wasn’t attracted.″ Young-soo and Kwang-soo rested in their rooms until late morning to regain their strength. During the self-introduction time, each participant revealed their occupation and views on dating. Young-soo disclosed that he is a police officer and said he is studying Japanese, English, and recently Chinese. He also expressed his love for mathematics. Young-ho introduced himself as a magician and said he wants to meet someone who can dream of small happiness together rather than focusing on looks. Young-sik shared that he grew up in the Philippines for 25 years and currently works as an interpreter and translator. He also mentioned his interest in cars and racing. Young-chul revealed that he is a firefighter, has experience working at the Dokdo guard, and is a cat owner, demonstrating 20 push-ups. One participant made the scene burst into laughter by asking, ″Can I quickly go to the bathroom? I’m too nervous,″ when it was his turn to introduce himself. The following preview showed Kwang-soo introducing himself by saying, ″I passed the civil service exam,″ and scenes of date matching decided by the women’s choices were teased. Meanwhile, during the self-introduction, one single man said, ″I don’t care about looks at all. I want to meet someone who can dream of small happiness with me,″ and another participant said, ″There are many world-famous driving courses,″ adding, ″I came out to find someone to enjoy those driving courses with me.″ When one single woman asked, ″How do you handle conflicts with your girlfriend?″ one participant replied, ″I haven’t had a girlfriend yet, so...″ Another participant showed 20 push-ups and said about his ideal type, ″I hope she knows how to take care of herself and how to love.″ A participant passionate about self-development said, ″I liked studying math because I enjoy achieving a sense of accomplishment,″ and ″I like studying Japanese and English, and recently I’ve become interested in Chinese as well.″
