'I Am Solo: Love Continues' Introduces First-Ever 'Catfish' Contestant, Baek-hyeop

ENA and SBS Plus's 'I Am Solo: Love Continues' (hereinafter 'Naso-sye-gye') is set to shake up the 'Solo House' dynamics with the unprecedented arrival of its first 'catfish' contestant, Baek-hyeop.

In the episode airing on the 6th, 'Baek-hyeop' will make her debut, promising to stir the pot of romance within the Solo House. On the second morning at the Solo House, as male and female contestants are gathered for morning conversations, an unfamiliar presence is detected. MC Defconn expresses curiosity, asking, "Who is arriving?" while Kyung-ri anticipates, "Do we have a catfish for us too?"

Shortly after, a woman emerges from a van, holding a bouquet of lilies – a symbol of elegance. She casually converses with the production staff, asking, "Can I have some breakfast?" and "It's just one block away, right?" Radiating an aura of a 'tetto-nyeo' (a woman who talks on the terrace), Baek-hyeop confidently walks towards the gathering. Upon seeing her, 24th-season's Young-soo and 18th-season's Young-cheol exclaim, "Whoa!" and "She's here!" jumping to their feet.

The contestants greet Baek-hyeop warmly, with the solo men casting admiring glances her way. Kyung-ri, noticing Baek-hyeop's straightforward and refreshing 'kwae-nyeo' (bold woman) persona, cheers her on. Defconn predicts she will become a rival, influencing the romantic landscape of the Solo House. The solo men are also abuzz, stating, "It exceeded expectations!" The episode is set to reveal whether Baek-hyeop, as the 'catfish,' can successfully stir up the romance within the Solo House.

Korean netizens are buzzing with excitement over the arrival of the first 'catfish' contestant. Comments express anticipation, with viewers saying things like, 'Finally, the catfish is here!' and 'Baek-hyeop seems so charming, the solo men better be careful.' Many are eager to see how she will change the dynamics.
