Sooja, a participant in the 31st season of 'I Am Solo,' has seen her social media follower count exceed 160,000 as of June 8.
This achievement appears to make her the most followed participant from the SBS Plus and ENA reality show. In comparison, Ok-soon, known for her resemblance to BLACKPINK's Jisoo from season 22, has 131,000 followers. Currently, Kyungsoo, who is married to Sooja, supports her influencer activities.
On June 6, Sooja posted several photos on her social media account, sharing a quote from poet Jin Eun-young: "Days that remind me of a lover as lovely as green."
In the photos, Sooja is seen wearing a white blouse paired with a skirt, while Kyungsoo is dressed in all black, both surrounded by flowers and looking happy, evoking envy among viewers.
The couple met while filming 'I Am Solo' season 31. During the show, Sooja faced bullying allegations from fellow female contestants, including Ok-soon, Young-sook, and Jung-hee, which sparked public outrage.
Young-sook competed with Sooja for Kyungsoo's affection, but ultimately, Sooja and Kyungsoo chose each other, forming a couple.
Netizens have expressed their support for the couple, especially considering the emotional distress Sooja experienced, including a hospital visit during filming.
Kyungsoo drew attention by posting supportive messages for Sooja following the controversy. On June 3, he shared on his social media, "From the moment I received the call to join 'Solo Country' until the moment I left, I spent five days and six nights immersed in the experience. I realized many shortcomings about myself while reflecting on my appearance through the broadcast and thought I needed to become a better person.
"Of course, there were edited scenes for entertainment and many moments I wanted to clarify, but I believe that every moment, whether disappointing or joyful, ultimately represented who I am. I sincerely thank the viewers who believed in me and watched over me with warm eyes despite the numerous misunderstandings surrounding season 31.
"Sooja, I’m embarrassed, but thank you for believing in me from start to finish, and I’m sorry. You worked hard during the show. Let’s meet more beautifully in the future."
