[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] On Season 33 of “I’m Single,” Young-ho and Soon-ja, as well as Young-cheol and Jeong-suk, became the final couples on the show, but their relationships did not last in real life.
The final episode of the Season 33 “Single” special aired on the 30th on ENA and SBS Plus.
At the moment of the final choice, Young-soo defied everyone’s expectations and went straight for Hyun-sook. Earlier, Hyun-sook had told Young-sook, “I didn’t realize you were such a fun person,” and upon hearing this, Young-soo’s heart turned toward Hyun-sook. Faced with Young-soo’s advances, Hyun-sook looked bewildered, asking, “Wasn’t that just a practice run?” Young-soo explained, “I don’t think it’s right to judge someone without even giving it a try. I want to get to know you properly.” However, Hyun-sook decided not to make a final choice.
Young-ho and Soon-ja, who had shown mutual interest throughout the 33rd season, chose each other to become the first couple, while Young-sik chose Young-sook, but Young-sook did not make a final choice. In an interview, Young-sook confessed, “I didn’t choose him because I was afraid of hurting a good person.” Sang-cheol, Young-ja, and Ok-soon also opted out of the final selection, while Young-cheol and Gwang-soo both pursued Jeong-sook; after much deliberation, Jeong-sook chose Young-cheol. Thus, two couples were formed.
However, during a live broadcast held after the conclusion of Season 33 of “I’m Single,” Young-cheol said, “We made plans to date after the show aired and met up, but we ended up remaining only as the final couple,” adding, “We’re currently cheering each other on as we go our separate ways.”
Sun-ja said, “We naturally became a couple right after the show, but after meeting two or three times over the course of a month, we realized we had differences in personality,” adding, “Ultimately, we’ve returned to being friends who support each other.”
Following Season 33’s “Lifelong Singles” special, “I’m Single” will air Season 34, the “Large Families” special. Attention is focused on what kind of entertainment “I’m Single”—which delivered laughs with its “Lifelong Singles” theme—will offer with this new special. “I’m Single” airs every Wednesday at 10:30 p.m.
