I Am Solo (Naneun Solo / 나는 SOLO)

Welcome to the Solo Land!

This is the last greeting...

of this year.

We'll be greeting you next year again.

This is the last episode of the year 2023.

This is the last episode of "I am Solo" of the year 2023.

Throughout this year,

- "I am Solo" was loved a lot... - Exactly.

- because the viewers, the participants, - That's true.

and the hard-working production crew,

including the three of us, the show hosts,

supported the show with one accord, I believe.

We wholeheartedly appreciate your support once again.

"I am Solo" wouldn't have existed without you.

No, it wouldn't have existed.

We would appreciate it...

if many singletons applied for the show in 2024 as well.

I also hope that many more couples...

that were matched up on our show get married.

Also, we'd appreciate it if you could support and encourage...

the participants who mustered up the courage to appear on the show.

Last week, everyone,

- the men finished introducing themselves. - They did.

Today, the women get to introduce...

- themselves. - They do, at last.

Also, we'll be able to watch...

- their first dates. - Yes.

We don't need to talk any more now. Let's go watch...

the last episode of 2023.

(The Blue Road with the gem-like beach alongside)

(The wind turbine district in Yeongdeok by the shining ripples in the water)

(The first to introduce herself among the women)

- It's the women's turn now. - Young Sook.

- Finally. - Young Sook!

- Young Sook! - She's from Daegu.

- Young Sook. - Young Sook.

I'm Young Sook from Daegu.

- Daegu. - She's from Daegu.

In terms of my age, I was born in 1993.

What a relief.

- "What a relief." - Also,

I work...

at a bank.

- It suits you. - It does.

- It suits her. - She really looks like one.

Is she a manager?

That's so cool.

- She's a banker. It's great. - Yes.

I worked as a bank cashier, which people may normally associate the job with,

for about five years.

Now, I am in charge...

of the global business...

at the management and planning department of the headquarters.

(Young Sook is in charge of the Shanghai branch...)

(She also appeared in her company magazine.)

Also,

in terms of my hobbies,

I have purchased a lot of goods...

to learn what I was particularly interested in.

I use my money on traveling...

(He doesn't like those who overspend on luxury goods.)

and purchasing properties.

- That's what I'm interested in. - She's into financial investment.

So,

I applied to appear on "I am Solo..."

because my elder brother was a big fan of this show,

- and he recommended I went on the show. - Is it going to rain?

She ties up her hair.

(The men get stirred up at the sight of her tying up her hair.)

She knows how to perform on the stage.

Also...

How come they get stirred up...

by the mere sight of her tying up her hair?

- They would if you had done the same. - Exactly.

I can't because my hair is too short.

- Exactly. - Seriously?

They can see the neckline and all.

- Okay. - How pretty is that hairband?

I like those with a sound body and a sound mind.

I'd like someone who can afford to be romantic...

because of the financial legroom in his life.

How much of an age gap are you okay with?

I'm okay...

up to eight years apart.

- Eight years. - Is that both older and younger?

Younger?

In fact, I haven't thought about dating someone younger than me,

- so it'd be eight years older. - Older.

Are you free to take weekdays off as well?

- Days off? Sure. - Would you be able to take days off?

I've been to Switzerland and Italy...

for two weeks in May this year.

Switzerland.

How many men do you have in mind at the moment?

I have about two men in my mind now.

- Two. - Yes.

Can you be in a long-distance relationship?

I'm perfectly fine with a long-distance relationship.

(She's perfectly fine with a long-distance relationship.)

My company has many branches all across the country,

including Seoul and Gyeonggi-do,

so I don't think it will be an issue.

Considering KTX runs through Dongdaegu Station,

a long-distance relationship won't be an issue for me.

I like her passion.

- Really? - It's about an hour and a half to Daegu.

Seoul and Daegu are close enough.

- Jung Sook. - Jung Sook.

Hello. It's great to meet you all.

I'm Jung Sook of Season 18. Nice to meet you.

First off, in terms of my age,

I was born in 1989.

- You look younger for your age. - She does.

I was born in 1989.

- She does have a baby face. - Yes.

I live in Seoul.

For about six years,

I used to be a flight attendant,

working in the sky.

Okay.

Right.

- It suits you! - It suits you!

I used to be a flight attendant,

but I wanted to work on the ground, so I switched my job...

to utilize my major at university.

I'm working at an ed-tech company now,

teaching children online.

- Is she an English teacher? - Is she an English teacher?

She went from a flight attendant to an English teacher.

(The shoulder strap of her dress keeps falling down due to the strong wind.)

The wind is too strong.

Would you like my jacket?

It may not look good on her, though.

That's great.

- That's great. - Chief Sang Chul.

- Chief Sang Chul is cool. - Chief Sang Chul.

It may not look good on her, though.

It's better that way, though.

Thank you.

(but Sang Chul steps up to put his jacket on her.)

- My goodness. Thank you. - Please put it on.

- I think it'd be better that way. - Just over your shoulders.

- That's good. - It looks good.

- It looks good. - It suits you.

How witty.

My hobby is...

- doing yoga, - I can imagine.

so I attend my yoga class almost every day,

about six days a week.

I try to keep it regular.

I like doing yoga.

In terms of my ideal type,

I don't prefer anyone who gets convinced easily.

I'd like someone with a strong conviction...

and a sound philosophy to pursue his goal consistently.

I just wouldn't want someone...

who is wishy-washy.

She likes someone with a sense of conviction in life.

I'd really love to get matched up...

with someone at the end of this show.

I really hope to find my significant other...

for the next 6 days and 5 nights.

Okay.

There must be someone you are interested in here.

Is it that you haven't gone up to him...

and struck a conversation yet?

I do believe that I have in my own way.

- I'll be more proactive from now on. - That's a hint.

She gave them a hint.

- "I will." - Young Ho.

- How cool! - How cool!

It's good. That was neat.

It was neat.

(Sun Ja will be introducing herself as the third female participant.)

- Sun Ja. - Sun Ja.

- Sun Ja. - Sun Ja.

I'm here in the Solo Land in search of true love.

- She prepared lines! - I'm Sun Ja of Season 18.

I turned 28 this year,

- See? She's young. - having been born in 1995.

- I told you. She's young. - She's really young.

She was born in 1995.

Currently, I'm working at a financial company,

assisting executives as a secretary.

That's why she's witty.

My hometown is Gangwon-do.

I lived with my parents until I finished my high school,

and I went to Busan for college.

I lived there for about five years.

Afterward, I've been living in Seoul due to my workplace.

It's been just over a year since I went up to Seoul.

Is my accent good enough?

- Yes. - I can't tell.

You sound like you were born and raised in Seoul.

I'm quite honest and tomboyish.

My friends call me a ridiculous character.

- I like making people laugh. - She's jovial.

My ideal type is someone with a mild appearance...

and a beautiful smile.

In terms of personality, I'd like him to be humorous...
