A single birthday party photo has everyone buzzing.

Soon-ja, a contestant on the 28th season of ‘I am SOLO,’ posted a photo on her Instagram for her birthday, and the internet immediately went wild.

On the 25th, Soon-ja shared a picture of herself smiling brightly in front of a cake under a “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” decoration.

However, a glimpse of a man was caught in the photo, and fans quickly speculated, “Isn’t that Young-soo?”

Soon-ja and Young-soo had a brief moment of mutual interest on the show, and many were curious to know if their relationship continued after the broadcast.

Perhaps that's why this single 'birthday snapshot' spread like wildfire across online communities.

"Are they a real-life couple?" Comments Flood In! Netizens React Explosively

As soon as the photo was released, netizens reacted enthusiastically.

Comments such as “Are they a real-life couple?”, “Is this a spoiler?”, and “Wait?? Are they really dating?” poured in.

‘Real-life couple’ is a shortened term for ‘actual couple,’ referring to contestants who didn't end up together on the show but started dating in real life.

Fans showed great interest, wondering if Soon-ja and Young-soo had taken their love beyond the program.

Congratulatory messages such as “Happy birthday!” and “You two look great together” also flooded in, filling the comment section with celebration and speculation.

Young-soo's Popularity Explodes Amidst a Love Triangle

Meanwhile, in the 28th season of ‘I am SOLO,’ which aired on the 22nd, a complex romantic dynamic surrounding Young-soo began to unfold in earnest.

On this day, the relationships became entangled due to the female contestants' date choices, creating an unpredictable situation.

Young-soo expressed his honest feelings to Hyun-sook during their date, saying, “Let’s go on another date later,” but a heated argument with Young-sook seemed to cool down their relationship.

With Jung-sook joining the mix, a 'love triangle with Young-soo in the middle' was formed, and viewers were engrossed, commenting, “This is what a real dating reality show is.”

Ratings Exceed 4.5%, Igniting a Sensation for Season 28

‘I am SOLO’ season 28, simultaneously broadcast on ENA and SBS Plus, is particularly generating buzz.

The broadcast on the 22nd recorded a viewership rating of 4.5% based on paid broadcasting households in the Seoul metropolitan area, nearing its highest viewership rating.

The tension of real-life dating, unexpected actions, and unpredictable emotional lines harmonized perfectly, increasing viewer engagement.

As such, ‘I am SOLO’ has established itself as a story of people seeking ‘true love’ beyond a simple dating program.

With the appearance of new couples and unexpected twists in each episode,

the aftermath continues on Instagram and online communities even after the broadcast.

“Love Continues After That”… The Real Ending Is Yet to Come

The relationship between Soon-ja and Young-soo has not yet been clearly revealed.

However, the warm atmosphere in the birthday photo Soon-ja directly released, and the silhouette that appears to be with her, are stimulating the imaginations of many.

The production team has announced, “Please check the broadcast to see if the final couple is formed,” and the spin-off program ‘I am SOLO: Love Continues After That’ will also cover the couple's recent situation.

Viewers are now paying more attention to ‘real love after the program’ than ‘love within the program.’

Perhaps Soon-ja and Young-soo's single photo was a quiet signal announcing the beginning.

‘I am SOLO’ season 28 airs every Wednesday at 10:30 PM on ENA and SBS Plus.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
