I Am Solo (Naneun Solo / 나는 SOLO)

Welcome to Solo Land, everyone!

This has become the talk of the town.

People thought the forever-single special would be...

- quite frustrating, - That's right.

but they found it very interesting once they watched it.

- It's just a beginning. - Yes.

The self-introduction is when it actually begins.

- That's right. - It's the women's turn now.

- The men introduced themselves last week. - Yes.

We are so curious to know about the women now,

- That's right. It's Young Ja. - especially Young Ja.

Many people are curious about what Young Ja does in particular.

Today, the women will introduce themselves,

and they will go on their first dates afterward. Let's take a look.

(First off, Young Sook will introduce herself.)

She studied a lot.

I believe...

that many people have been curious about this.

As for my age, I was born in 1989.

I was born in 1989.

She looks young for her age.

I've never left Seoul in my life.

- She's a Seoulite. - Yes.

I entered Korea University...

- to study science... - She has an amazing career.

and majored in Earth Science there.

After I completed my bachelor's degree,

I was accepted into a graduate program at Seoul National University.

I once again studied Science Education for a master's degree there.

She's an elite student.

- She's a member of the elite. - You may recognize this upon hearing it,

but what I do now is...

a science instructor...

teaching students in Daechi-dong.

Normally, my students are...

seniors in high school or exam re-takers.

They are the ones I teach the most.

- My goodness. - My goodness.

This is amazing.

Someone like her is forever single.

This is amazing.

Her students wrote her letters like that.

(She receives thank-you letters from her students for teaching them well.)

Being with them,

my every single day is full of joy.

My students confide in me,

and my relationship with them is very good in general,

so I'm greatly satisfied with my job.

(She maintains great relationships with her students,)

(so she is very satisfied with her profession.)

That's why I believe that the life I've lived...

and the things that have been laid out for me thus far...

have been the best for me.

That's my belief.

In the same light,

the fact that I'm in Solo Land now and that I'm spending time here,

in hindsight,

will be one of the best pieces of the puzzle that I call life.

I think it's going to be one of the perfect pieces of the puzzle.

That's all for me.

That's neat.

- She's a teacher, for sure. - They'll ask questions now.

It seems that you have quite an ambition in your career.

Would you say that it's your priority?

I've lived a life where I put my accomplishments first,

but now that I'm getting older,

- I get to think, "This may not be..." - That's right.

"all there is to it."

That's why I'm putting myself out there...

going on blind dates in a proactive manner.

Does that mean that you have time to date on the weekends?

That's up to me.

I can choose whether to teach classes or not on the weekends.

Last year, I didn't work on Sundays.

Are you okay with a long-distance relationship?

Yes, I'd love it.

My wish is to meet my husband only on the weekends.

What aspect would you look for the most in a prospective romantic partner?

This is crucial.

It would be how considerate he is.

It could be as small as taking a cup for me from a higher cupboard,

even though it may be nothing for him.

Speaking of which,

do you have any heights in mind that you'd like a man to have?

No, not really. I believe it's something one can do with long arms.

- She may like basketball players. - I have a long reach.

No, it's just that she said one could do it just with long arms.

He wants to tell her that his arms are long.

He wants her to know that his arms are long.

Lift them high up in the air.

Are you an Inspector Gadget or something?

Are you okay with someone younger than you?

I'm okay with those younger than me.

- Young Ho is younger than her. - How much younger would you call okay?

I'm okay as long as the person in question is okay.

Do you have anyone in mind here?

I do,

but when the self-introduction is over,

- I think it'll change a lot. - Really?

(When the self-introduction is over, I think it'll change a lot.)

That means she's done with Sang Chul.

Exactly. She's insinuating that she changed her mind now.

Thank you, Young Sook. She is an Earth Science teacher in Daechi-dong.

I was born in 1994.

I'm a nurse working at a hospital located in Seoul.

I'm a nurse working at a hospital.

It's a large-scale hospital in Seoul.

- Jung Sook! - Jung Sook!

- Young Soo. - Young Ho.

- Young Sik. - Young Chul.

- Kwang Soo. - Sang Chul.

Please make sure to bring one of them with you!

- Good luck! - Good luck!

I'm a nurse taking care of outpatients,

so I work from 8 to 5,

except for some days when I get off work late...

if the professors get delayed with their treatments.

That's about it.

I used to live in Daegu,

and it's been about 5 to 6 months since I went up to Seoul.

He's from Daegu.

"That's a shame!"

As for my hobbies, I work out.

Nowadays, I go to the Han River every weekend...

- and jog. - Now that she's in Seoul,

- she must love going to the Han River. - She should.

- You should go jogging by the Han River. - It's romantic.

I love eating spicy tteokbokki,

but recently, I had a horrible stomachache because of the tteokbokki,

so I need to have an endoscopy.

According to the hospital policy, though,

I should be accompanied by an adult patron for a sleep endoscopy.

Is that the case?

I'd like to be matched up with someone...

so I can go have a sleep endoscopy with my boyfriend.

Also, this may be far into the future,

but a family member gets a 50-percent discount too,

so it's fantastic.

How wide of an age gap can you cover?

Someone five years older or younger is good for me.

(She's okay with anyone five years older or younger than her.)

There are not many left.

Which do you prefer, someone older or younger?

I'm okay with anyone except for anyone my age.

Why not someone your age?

If someone were my age,

- he'd just be like a friend to me. - She might treat him casually.

What's your ideal type of man?

- My ideal type of man is a nice guy. - That's the most difficult kind.

"Nice guy."

- It's a type that is hard to find. - Is there someone...

- That's the most difficult one. - that matches your dream guy here?

Yes, there is.

- Is there? - It's looking positive.

Does he think that it's himself?

(Thirdly, Sun Ja, the Pink Princess, introduces herself.)

Hello.

First off, my residence is...

in Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do.

- Gongju. - He'll get shocked now.

(The man from Gongju is genuinely shocked.)

I was born and bred in Gongju.

He's really shocked.

- I was born in Gongju. - Is this meant to be?

- I was bred in Gongju too. - This is crazy.

As for my age, I was born in 1990.

I was born in 1990.

I work as a director at a care home for the elderly.

- She's a CEO. - What we do at the care home is...

sponsored by the government.

Our care specialists visit the elderly's houses...

and help them to lead wholesome lives.

What else now?

That's about it.

Now, let me show you my party trick.

First off,

please set your timers.

- Why? - Caricature?

I'll draw a caricature of someone in under three minutes.

- For real? - Amazing.

- Go! - Which person?

- Go. - Go.

I can't draw well because I'm nervous.

She's so cute.

This is crazy.

This is unbelievable.

- It's almost done. - She's fast.

- She's good. - Look.

She's really good.

- The frame is there already. - She's so fast, which means...

that she relies on her intuition.

- That's true. - Is it going to be a caricature?

Yes, it's going to be somewhat like it.

This is amazing.

Please show it to us too.

One minute.

She's good.

That's so pretty. What's going on?

It's like a cartoon.

Her party trick is unique.
