The internet is in an uproar as controversy surrounding Oksoon, a cast member of the 31st batch of SBS Plus and ENA’s real dating show “I am SOLO,” spreads uncontrollably.
According to posts circulating on anonymous employee communities, shocking claims have surfaced alleging that “Oksoon is pregnant and has been diagnosed as needing absolute stability due to a nervous breakdown.”
The author of the post claims that Oksoon requested the production team to edit her scenes, stating she would hold them responsible if any issues arose with the baby. While initially rejected, the request was reportedly granted after she mentioned making an “extreme choice.”
These “pregnancy rumors” and “editing threat rumors” are fueling public outrage, especially when paired with the actual broadcast content.
In the episode aired on the 13th, Oksoon came under fire for her behavior, appearing to isolate Sunja along with Youngsook and Jeonghee.
In particular, after Sunja won a competition, Oksoon shouted, “Youngsook is the number one in our hearts,” loud enough for the next room to hear. This led to a scene where Sunja was seen crying behind a door, drawing heavy criticism from viewers.
The controversy didn’t end there. In an unreleased video uploaded to the YouTube channel “Village Head Entertainment TV,” Oksoon made sharp comments toward Sunja, asking, “Why is the atmosphere like a funeral?” and “Are you jealous?” The video was deleted two days later amid a wave of criticism, adding weight to the theory that she is being “totally edited” out of the show.
Netizens have reacted coldly. Some pointed out Oksoon’s perceived double-sided attitude, commenting, “Did she join I am SOLO just to land a doctor husband and then try to edit the show however she wants?” and “She bullied Sunja, and now this is the result.” Others noted, “She must have been so happy before the broadcast, but the vibe has completely changed now.”
Meanwhile, speculation is rampant online that Youngho and Oksoon have become a real-life couple beyond their final pairing on the show.
This is based on the two mentioning a honeymoon in New Zealand, which prompted MC Song Hae-na to exclaim, “It feels like they could get married right here,” highlighting how quickly they grew close.
With various rumors and “talking behind backs” controversies swirling, viewers are on edge to see if Oksoon’s remaining screen time will be deleted.
Regarding this, the production team has avoided a direct explanation of the online rumors, stating only that “the show will proceed according to the flow of the content,” a principled response that is expected to only increase suspicions.
