I Am Solo Season 26 Premieres with Stunning ‘Gold Ladies’ Ready for Marriage
The hit South Korean dating reality show I Am Solo, airing on SBS Plus and ENA, returns on the 30th with its much-anticipated Season 26. Featuring the program’s third installment of its ‘Gold Special Edition’, this season introduces a breathtaking lineup of women who are not only visually stunning but also exhibit top-tier charm and career success.
Referred to as ‘hexagonal gold ladies’ for their combination of beauty, intellect, and emotional depth, the 26th generation of contestants brings a level of seriousness toward marriage that has already caught viewers’ attention. Some of the ladies reportedly revealed to producers their eagerness to marry immediately upon meeting the right person. One woman shared that she has gone on nearly 100 blind dates, meticulously documented by her mother in a diary. Another confessed to contacting old acquaintances and going on 40–50 dates over the past year alone.
Upon arriving at ‘Solo Country No. 26’, the visuals of the female contestants dazzle the show’s three MCs. One contestant drew comparisons to actress Park Bo-young, stating that her college peers used to jokingly call her ‘H University’s Park Bo-young.’
Another contestant was immediately labeled the ‘Popularity Queen’ by unanimous agreement from the MCs for her charm, with the panel expressing excitement over how the male cast would respond. “The guys are going to be thrilled,” gushed one MC.
Adding to the drama, one contestant recognized a male participant as someone she had dated 5–6 years ago. “At first, I didn’t recognize him, but then I remembered we went on a blind date years ago,” she shared, surprised by the ironic twist of fate. The revelation hints at more exciting developments and emotional turns in the episodes ahead.
I Am Solo continues to captivate viewers with its raw portrayal of modern romance, giving hope and thrill to audiences about love and destiny.
