Season 17 contestant Sunja showed interest in Season 20 contestant Young-sik.<\/p>\n

On the afternoon of the 9th, ENA and SBS Plus aired the variety show I’m SOLO: Love Continues. After Sunja (Season 17) spoke with Young-sik (Season 20), she confided her feelings to the other women.<\/p>\n

She began by saying, “Isn’t Young-sik from Season 20 so youthful?” Then, with a trembling voice, she admitted, “But when we talk and lock eyes, his gaze feels like an older brother’s. I couldn’t keep looking at him.”<\/p>\n

Sunja added that, even though they’re only three years apart, he still comes across as more of an older-brother figure. “There’s something in the way he looks at me, like he’s trying to say something with his eyes,” she said.<\/p>\n

The conversation then turned to Season 27 contestant Young-chul. The other women agreed that, compared with Young-sik, Young-chul didn’t feel older \u2014 if anything, he seemed younger. “Really? I never saw that coming,” Sunja said, surprised.<\/p>\n

Later, Young-chul dropped by the women’s room and promptly called for Sunja, sparking speculation about a potential triangle involving Young-sik.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
