Ok-soon from the 31st season of the ENA and SBS Plus dating show ‘I Am Solo’ has addressed leaked photos with fellow cast member Young-ho and denied bullying cast member Soon-ja. In a lengthy social media post on October 26, reported by Sports Kyunghyang, she said the photos that spread online that day leaked because of her own mistake, not because the pair had reunited or were about to marry.
The photos showed the two hugging and kissing on the cheek, plus dates at cafes, restaurants and an exhibition. Ok-soon and Young-ho became a couple in the season’s final choice in May but later announced their breakup in a post-show live broadcast, so images surfacing about five months later quickly fuelled reunion speculation. She said she had apologised to the other party.
“The photos circulating on the internet today were leaked due to my mistake,” she wrote. “They were not posted to announce an imminent marriage or the start of a relationship again, nor were they disclosed with any intention.”
Ok-soon also addressed bullying allegations dating to the season’s April 2026 broadcast. She said false and distorted stories had disrupted her everyday life and made normal social life difficult, and that she has been pursuing legal action, with related cases now proceeding. “I am not the ringleader of bullying,” she wrote. “I did not intentionally exclude or bully a specific person on set.”
The dispute traces to footage showing Ok-soon talking about Soon-ja with fellow cast members Young-sook and Jung-hee, which sparked gossip and bullying allegations. She later apologised in a post-show live broadcast for remarks that hurt others. She stressed Soon-ja was only a same-season cast member, that they had never met separately on or off set, and that claims she repeatedly bullied someone with whom she had no special closeness are untrue.
Ok-soon said her long silence was not an admission. “My silence is neither an admission of the facts nor consent to falsehoods,” she wrote, asking people to stop labelling her a bullying ringleader based on edited broadcast fragments. She warned she will not show leniency toward anyone who posts or spreads false claims about her, and will pursue civil and criminal proceedings.
She closed by asking the public not to add baseless speculation to unconfirmed stories, saying she hopes to restore her daily life and live smiling as before.
