'Nalsoo Spring' Introduces First Ever 'Catfish Woman,' Shaking Up 'Solo House'

SBS Plus and ENA's dating reality show 'I am SOLO, Love Continues' (hereinafter referred to as 'Nalsoo Spring') is set to welcome its first-ever 'catfish woman,' heralding a significant shift in the 'Solo House' dynamics.

In a preview released ahead of the broadcast on the 6th, the male contestants are shown intensely focused on 'popular woman' Jangmi. Young-sik from the 24th season, who is two years younger than her, directly asks, 'Are you okay with dating someone younger?' and expresses his strong interest, stating, 'The age gap isn't that big. I'm confident I can even participate in a group date.' Young-sik from the 27th season also calls out to Jangmi in front of everyone, 'Jangmi, let's talk~,' showering her with compliments like, 'Jangmi is the prettiest~.' Even Young-soo from the 24th season inquires, 'How about me?', seeking to gauge Jangmi's interest, signaling the dawn of Jangmi's 'prime time.'

However, shortly after, the 'Solo House's' very first 'catfish woman' makes her appearance, causing a dramatic upheaval in the budding romances. A female contestant, initially intended to appear as 'Baekhap' (White Lily), had previously withdrawn due to excessive nervousness just before entering the 'Solo House.' Amidst this, a new female contestant arrives under the name Baekhap, surprising everyone.

Upon seeing the 'catfish woman' Baekhap approach with a bouquet, 18th season's Young-cheol exclaims, 'Oh? She's here!' his eyes widening in surprise. He then jumps up and welcomes Baekhap with a 'seal clap.' Baekhap greets them with a bright voice, 'Hello~.' Intense curiosity surrounds whether this late-joining Baekhap is the same person who initially dropped out or a completely new contestant.

Meanwhile, the broadcast of 'Nalsoo Spring' on October 30th recorded an average viewership rating of 2.7% nationwide (combined SBS Plus and ENA), with the highest minute-by-minute rating reaching 2.9%. It also ranked 5th on the 'TV Non-drama Popularity' chart by Good Data Corporation's 'Findex Chart' (announced Oct 28th), following 'I am SOLO' which took first place, showcasing the phenomenal popularity of the 'Nalsoo Universe.'

The identity of Baekhap, the first 'catfish woman' of 'Solo House,' and the romantic shifts she will bring can be confirmed on 'I am SOLO, Love Continues,' airing on Thursday, the 6th at 10:30 PM KST on SBS Plus and ENA.

Netizens are buzzing with speculation about the identity of the 'catfish woman,' Baekhap, following the preview. Comments include, 'Is she a new contestant or the one who dropped out before?', 'I'm already nervous,' and 'I'm curious about how she'll change the romance dynamics,' expressing high anticipation for the upcoming episode.
