I Am Solo Episode 137 Recap: Young Sik from Season 27 Steals Hearts in Yeongyang Guesthouse!
Love Forever! First Impressions, Snack Dates, and Surprising Introductions – Full Breakdown
Episode 137 Highlights: Innocent Singles Return with Fresh Faces
Last week at the Yeongyang Guesthouse, five single men and four beautiful women kicked off a new season of I Am Solo. Returning favorites like Young Sik from Season 27 (now looking sharper than ever) and Young Chul from Season 18 (with a stunning transformation) joined the mix. The big jock Young Sik from Season 24 (aka Dummy Sik) hopes to redeem himself this time!
First Impression Snack Selection: Who Chose Whom?
The singles pick Korean snacks (twisted donuts, sweet potatoes) for a quick "snack date" based on first looks. Here's the drama:
- Guk Hwa picks Young Sik (S27) – Potato date turns cute! He reveals he's a Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries public servant (perfect for sashimi lovers). But no deep spark yet.
- Jang Mi (the "queen bee" with 3 male votes) shocks everyone by choosing Young Sik (S27) again – Twisted donut date full of laughs and "choosing & focusing" life motto connection!
- Tu Lip selects Young Chul (S18) – First win for him! Pink snack date with glasses compliments and proactive charm.
- Yong Dam goes for Young Sik (S27) – Third pick! Sweet potato chat about food prefs (she loves pork cutlets). Young Sik dominates with 3/4 votes!
Self-Introductions: Jobs, Ages, and Long-Distance Drama
Everyone shares backgrounds – long-distance and job rotation become hot topics!
Men’s Introductions
- Young Sik (S27, 35): Incheon public servant, rotates offices every 2-3 years. Wants "dainty" woman who accepts moves.
- Young Ho (S27, 39): Tutoring instructor in Songpa-gu. Simple, predictable life.
- Young Sik (S24, 33): Changwon civil engineer, gym enthusiast (Popeye body!). Honest, dedicated.
- Young Soo (S24, 38): Vet clinic owner in Changwon. Stable future, open to relocation.
- Young Chul (S18, 38): Data center developer. Lost 17kg, musical hobby, warm personality (45.1°C on app!).
Women’s Introductions
- Guk Hwa (36): Brand strategist in Songpa-gu. Wants manly, dedicated guy.
- Jang Mi (33): Pilates instructor (ex-dance major). Bold, wants man to make her "shy & dainty."
- Tu Lip (32): Radiographer in Anyang. Prefers older, proactive men. Theater hobby.
- Yong Dam (32): Pharma researcher (PhD from Europe). Wants leader who solves problems. Homebody.
Big Concerns: Job rotation (Young Sik S27) tougher than long-distance for family life. Most women in Seoul/Gyeonggi – Changwon guys at disadvantage?
Rising Chemistry: Grocery Trip, BBQ, and Mongolia Talks
Group grocery run (Young Chul leads efficiently). BBQ grilling sparks care moments – Jang Mi feeds Young Chul, wipes Young Sik's sweat. Dummy Sik cooks soggy ramyeon; Yong Dam helps & bonds over Mongolia travels (horseback, stargazing hints).
Preview: Moonlit Dates & More Twists!
Men choose dates next – late-night stargazing? New cast member "Baek Hap" incoming. Will Young Sik's reign continue, or will long-distance fears change everything?
