I am Solo: Love Forever (I Am Solo: Love Continues / Naneun Solo: Sarangeun Gyesogdoenda / 나는 SOLO : 사랑은 계속된다)

- "I am Solo, Love Forever!" - "Love Forever!"

- The Solo Guesthouse had a grand finale. - Yes.

It's too bad.

- I see memes on the internet already. - I know!

We're working hard to prepare for the next season.

Please be a bit patient, and we'll be back...

with Season Three of this show of young people.

Stay tuned for that.

You both told me you enjoyed "I am Solo Season 16..."

- before we began filming today. - Yes.

Season 16 received so much attention everyone I met kept asking me about it.

- Right. - It was so popular.

"What's that about?"

"Can't you tell me?"

I see news about the Season 16 cast whenever I'm online.

So, we've exclusively invited...

- the hottest one of them all. - The hottest one!

We got on a flight to meet the person we're most curious about.

- Isn't this the first time? - We went all the way to the US.

Let's check out the singles' lives outside of Solo Land.

Let's check it out!

This is the show's first time going so far.

I can tell the production crew is very excited about it.

Everyone films the sky on their first flight.

That's true.

(The production crew flew far enough to the opposite side of the world...)

They've arrived in Seattle.

And who lives in Seattle?

- Sang Chul! - Yes.

- Sang Chul from Season 16! - Seattle is most known...

for Supersonics, the basketball team, and Sang Chul.

- He's our production crew. - He went to Seattle?

Hello, Sang Chul.

Where are you, exactly?

I'm at Carousel Two.

Oh, you're on your way out of the airport?

That's him!

- Here he comes! - Look at his shirt!

- He's an animal lover, indeed. - He's an animal lover!

His hair has grown so long!

You're wearing that shirt again.

Yes, it's a hyena.

It's a hyena shirt?

The animal lover from Seattle.

Do you...

- I prefer... - always dress like this?

to dress like this over wearing something plain.

- The lion hoodie. - My gosh.

(He entered Solo Land 16 in a lion hoodie on the first day.)

Have you noticed the lion on Sang Chul's hoodie?

Yes, it's a lion.

I really like animals.

I can tell.

I really like animals. I've bought a tiger shirt too.

Do you have other animal-printed clothes?

- Yes, a dog one. - A dog one!

But I haven't worn it yet.

That got a lot of attention.

(Sang Chul, the animal lover, showed off an unforgettable quirk.)

I find it weird to see a man go into the kitchen.

- He's so conservative. - The kitchen is...

for the wife.

- You don't go into the kitchen? - No.

- Are you from the Joseon Dynasty? - I have no reason to go in.

You're like a man from the Joseon Dynasty.

- You are. - They had such good chemistry.

"How can a man possibly enter the kitchen?"

I made eye contact with him!

- This is a famous meme. - He...

made eye contact with me.

His hair has grown so much since leaving Solo Land.

Right.

I drove my car here,

and we had to find N Three.

Where is that?

He seems to be struggling to find his car.

He can't remember where he parked!

- He's so lovely. - He hasn't changed.

- It's a big country, after all. - Right.

I knew my way when I was alone.

Let's go this way.

(The hyena walked around the parking lot for a whole while.)

He knows how to code and all but can't find his car.

(Pressing the buttons on his car key nonstop)

He's finally pressing the buttons.

It opens when you're close by.

Has he found it yet?

- I hear it honking. - I hear it!

I hear the sound from the opposite side.

It's over there!

This is like a comedy show.

It's coming from the other side!

How did you forget where you parked?

I get it now.

Let's go.

(They finally found Sang Chul's car after roaming around for a whole while.)

Is that your car?

Yes, this is my car.

The road stretches out for so long. I smell America.

Yes, I do too.

How have you been since the show?

I came back here after the show...

and worked at home for most days.

I worked at home...

and barely met any friends.

He's a homebody.

I just watched the show...

and lived a quiet life.

So, having been on the show feels like a fever dream.

- I bet. - He's in the US. People don't know him.

It's not like anyone recognizes me since I'm in the US,

not even when I grocery shop.

He wants it, though.

He's very disappointed.

Even we like being recognized as celebrities.

But I went...

to a Korean grocery store earlier today,

and some people sneakily took photos of me.

- Of course, it's a Korean store. - Really?

That happened.

And I had jjam-jjamyeon,

- and the restaurant owner recognized me. - At a Chinese restaurant!

He wanted to get a photo with me.

People recognize you in the US now.

Yes, Koreans seem to recognize me.

Have you had any nice ladies...

getting in touch with you?

- I'm sure he's gotten plenty. - He must've.

I bet he got a lot of direct messages.

I got a lot of direct messages, to be honest.

I didn't think I'd get so many as I'd been married once before.

But I got so many messages from such nice women.

"Such nice ladies!"

(Sang Chul got a flood of messages after the show.)

My goodness! What will he do now?

(You're so charming. I'd move to the US for you.)

(You're the most charming one among the whole cast.)

(I didn't know I was into conservative men.)

I was told Koreans were very focused on looks,

but this experience proved to me otherwise.

A man like me, who doesn't even care about his looks,

can still find ladies who find me attractive.

The thoughts I had...

when I was immature have changed significantly too.

And my impression of Korea changed a lot as well.

I'm learning a lot.

He might not have known Korea so well as he's lived in the US for so long.

Yes, it's a whole different culture.

Being on "I am Solo" was a great lesson for him.

(We can finally see the downtown area of Seattle now.)

Look at those buildings!

- He lives in the city? - Yes.

That's the Seattle Mariners' stadium. Seattle is known for baseball.

When Ichiro Suzuki was in the Mariners...

You know Ichiro Suzuki from the Mariners, right?

We had a huge baseball boom...

when he played for the Mariners.

- A baseball fan would be perfect for him. - Indeed.

(once you drive through the building forest.)

This is the Space Needle.

It's sharp, so they've named it the Space Needle.

They built it back when the Expo was held here.

(A Seattle landmark composed of 25 needle-shaped lightning rods)

- Nintendo and Microsoft are based here! - You're right!

I didn't know he lived in such a city!

- Boeing and other famous companies too. - That's so cool.

(A hub of global corporations like Microsoft, Amazon, etc.)

(Where the world's most famous chain of coffee shops first began)

(The greatest guitarist in history, Jimi Hendrix)

I'd love to visit too.

- That's amazing. - It's beautiful.

- It looks like N Seoul Tower. - Yes.

(Driving along the northwest coast to Sang Chul's house)

- There are harbors too! - Yes, harbors.

(How's Sang Chul's life in Seattle outside of Solo Land?)

He's driving away from the city.

(He's driving more northwest away from downtown Seattle.)

- This is... - It's already dark!

The sun has set!

They've been driving 1.5 hours away from the city!

- The US is... - He lives quite far from Seattle.

Your house is quite far.

Yes, it feels endlessly long on the first drive.

We have about 40 minutes left...

- from here. - From here...

It'll take 35 to 40 more minutes.

- We have to go farther? - Yes.

- I thought you lived... - Yes?

in downtown Seattle.

I said I was from Seattle because...

people in Korea are more familiar...

with Seattle than where I actually live.

No one really knows Bellingham.

They would say, "Where is that?"

So, that was why.

The Lummi Nation,

the Native American tribe, is based near this region.

Native Americans?

Did he say he lives near where the Native Americans live?

We can think of him as a fellow Native American.
