Youngja, a participant from the 25th season of 'I Am Solo,' addressed questions regarding her absence from the 'Nasol Four Seasons' live broadcast. On May 22, she stated on her social media, "Although I was unable to participate in the solo reaction and live broadcast, it seems that this experience has provided me with invaluable lessons and insights."
Previously, Youngja became a final couple with Youngsik from Season 20 during the broadcast of 'Nasol Four Seasons' on May 21. However, her absence from the subsequent live broadcast on 'Chonjang Entertainment TV' raised eyebrows.
In response, the production team clarified in a pinned comment that "Youngja's participation in the live broadcast was restricted due to a contract violation and breach of participant obligations," which many interpreted as related to her contract with a creator agency.
Youngja then provided her perspective on her absence, explaining, "If I had participated in the live broadcast, I would have wanted to share my thoughts, especially regarding my creator agency. I was contacted by the agency in February and, after much consideration, signed a contract on March 1."
She continued, "I viewed this as an extension of my personal activities to continue my artwork and content creation. I intended to gradually showcase the content related to my work after the show ended, but the information became public sooner than expected. I take seriously that this could lead viewers to question the authenticity of the show."
Youngja also addressed her involvement in managing three guesthouses, stating, "I had no ownership stake, and my public title was that of a manager. It was not a solo operation. There were aspects of my explanation that may have been unclear for the sake of simplicity on the show."
She emphasized, "This is not a 'party guesthouse' aimed at facilitating romantic encounters, and I do not reside or participate in the space. I have never engaged in hunting, nor do I smoke, and the stories about my father are also untrue."
Meanwhile, Youngsik, who was Youngja's final partner, shared during the live broadcast that they had seriously gotten to know each other after filming but could not remain a couple. He requested that viewers refrain from negative comments, saying, "Thank you for your interest. I am currently single."
