What happened on the October 22 episode?

Lee Gwang-soo, who got no votes when he appeared on I Am SOLO Season 14, received three votes from foreign women during the global special of 'I Am SOLO: Love Goes On', broadcast on ENA and SBS Plus on October 22. The episode showed five experienced single men and five foreign women meeting for the first time at the Sagye Minbak in Buan, Jeonbuk.

Who are the foreign women?

According to the broadcast, Jangmi is from Mongolia and has lived in Korea for 25 years since moving with her mother in 2001. Jakyak is from Qingdao, China, and studied in Korea. Tulip holds Senegalese and French citizenship and said her family lives in France. Baekhap is from Tokyo and said she hopes to marry in Korea. Gukhwa holds Italian and Latvian citizenship and has lived in Korea for three years.

How did the first-impression choice go?

Women rang a bell in front of the man they picked. Jangmi chose Season 12 Youngchul, and Jakyak chose Season 7 Youngho, citing the meal ingredients he had prepared. The other three women all chose Lee Gwang-soo. He said he was happy to receive three votes but wondered why he had been chosen.

Why did Youngho stand out?

Season 7 Youngho, who returned after four years, told producers he had been focused on work and had not dated. He said he prepared meal kits and cooking ingredients as an effort to stand out, since younger and more attractive candidates could outshine him.
