'I'm Solo' 16th Season, 1 Year Anniversary...Controversy + Topicality Remains

The 16th season of 'I'm Solo' is still receiving a lot of attention from the public.

SBS Plus, ENA 'I'm Solo' 16th season contestant Young Sook wrote on her social media on the 2nd, "I saw a ridiculous article last night. It's common sense to have one part of each contract."

On the same day, 16th season Young Sook wrote a lengthy post, saying, "I'm waiting to get my autograph and take both parts with me, and I'll give them to you if you need them later. Then I can appear on another show two months after the show ends." She added, "But the other cast member has already left the show. He said it's in the contract, so I can't do that. Yes. But the contract didn't come back even after a year."

In addition, 16th year Young Sook said, "I didn't know, and I'm sure you couldn't sleep at night because your heart was pounding with the ratings because you posted my video regardless of my will and wrote about me, and I was framed as the crazy woman in the world." "I thought it would end with that one... but it didn't stop anymore, and it was a drug-like stimulant. How can you continue to make such garbage broadcasts, how can you wear a human mask, and why are you so old? I was shocked."

The 16th season's Young Sook did not identify the subject of the post, but some suspect that she was taking a shot at PD Nam Kyu Hong, who directs "I Am Solo."

The 16th season of "I Am Solo" has been one of the most hotly anticipated and controversial in the show's history. In the first episode of the 16th season, which premiered in July last year, Young Sook was in the spotlight for her love line with Sang Chul, but her conflict with Ok Soon became a bigger topic of discussion.

At the time, Young Sook was criticized for her insincere apology to Ok Soon, who was victimized by fake news she created within "Solo. The two continued their sniping on their respective social media accounts after the broadcast, and even threatened legal action.

Some of them actually ended up in legal battles. "Dolsingles 3" cast member Byun Hye Jin admitted to dating and breaking up with 16's Sang Chul, but in the process exposed his cheating on women. Shortly thereafter, Young Sook, 16, also revealed a lewd message she received from Sang Chul, which led to a mud fight. Eventually, Sang Chul, 16, filed a criminal complaint against Young Sook and Byun Hye Jin for defamation.

Ok Soon, 16, also appeared on KBS Joy's "Ask Me Anything" and ENA's "How to be a Boy Scout" after "I'm Solo. Since her first appearance, Ok-soon, who appeared in a sports car, has appeared on various entertainment programs and mentioned her golden cutlery issue, attracting attention to the present.

Previously, the 16th episode of "I Am Solo" was first broadcast on July 26 last year and lasted for about three months until October 4 last year. At that time, the 16th episode received a ratings of 4.058% on SBS Plus and 2.372% on ENA, for a total of 6.43%, according to Nielsen Korea. This is the highest ratings of "I Am Solo" in history.

The 16th episode of "I Am Solo" has just celebrated its one-year anniversary, but the controversy and topicality are far from over.
