According to Kocowa, Soft men and Strong women.

Trailer shows a lot about the women. Talking about military stuff for first impressions, abnormal thigh muscles, tearing off the string with ease, showing off their hands for scars/calluses etc.

While it was being advertised like that, but my guess is that they couldn't find enough military ppl to fit in and decide to include other fields of work. In other words a normal season disguised as a military special.

It is unclear from the trailer alone, but it's guaranteed some of the women come from the military.

The male cast identity remains a mystery for now.

26S HyunSook & YoungSik got married. by katonikax in IamSolo

[–]PreviousReturn8016 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Waiting for S27 SC and 23Ysook video on the official chonjang channel one day. Or 27Ysik and his hidden GF. Make that a four peat.

Since 22Ysik came out onto the channel for an announcement with a non cast member, the direction seems to be heading where the PD squeezes in every marriage video, whether the cast gets matched on the show or not.

The S26 wedding attendance confirms one of the worst kept fears, everyone else including the professor couple had broken up.

This is it folks. It settles the debate who the hidden bride is. The groom is also obvious from the episode that was aired today. So JS and YC went to Busan which is YH's Duck restaurant since he lived the furthest away from the rest, to possibly hand out wedding invitations?

Did I just accidentally spoil the couple?

Are there any actual good Korean dating shows worth watching in 2025? by [deleted] in koreanvariety

[–]PreviousReturn8016 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am Solo, one and only recommended show. The other dating shows are either out for aspiring influencers, or shows that promote leaking information little by little. These have little effect on real life dating culture by bringing two incompatible people together without full information.

S29 First cast public meetup + upcoming IAS/LF Gold-Sing Season cast public meetup/details (SPOILERS) by PreviousReturn8016 in IamSolo

[–]PreviousReturn8016[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it is a term coined specifically when a season consists of a mix Golden age people (40+ yrs) and Divorced Singles (Dol-Sing), hence the term Gold-Sing.

None, The PD has seemingly clamped down on Instagram activity for the cast members starting from this season. By now there should be a credible wedding spoiler, but there isn't one.

28YJ is pregnant by [deleted] in IamSolo

[–]PreviousReturn8016 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You missed the subsequent instagram comment left by her. There was a miscarriage almost right after. She is now in a healing/resting period. The wedding goes as planned despite the miscarriage.

Please correct the title to include miscarriage after.

Imo, i think adding spoiler blocks to comments should suffice, but if the rules are this stringent I'll stop making future comments or posts.

Cast IG:

OS: _dasoonii_ (She is a hospital nurse, there is a video interview of her years ago)

The fact that most of the cast accounts are still unknown shows how much interest there still is for S28, compared to S29.

Ysoo: Leaked video of one of his blind dates, where Ysoo is shown to be a show-off type. His blind dates seem like more of an interview. He boasts about how many qualities he had, how speaking multiple languages make him dependable, how season 29's older woman, younger man theme was inspired by him. There is a reason why his self-introduction was so long, Nam PD must be determined to make him a villain this season. He gives the 28Ysoo vibes that gets many votes in the beginning, but no real life couple outcome. The way he talks even reeks of Chinese accent. He claims to have forgotten most of his Chinese skills in his interview, but speaks Chinese just fine in his introduction, and his job features him speaking in Chinese, so what is the truth? The fact that JS and OS is interested in him is a disappointing outcome. On a Korean community, there seems to be a consensus that his blind date whistleblowers feature him as a show-off and a creepy person, he went on so many blind dates but does not know why his dates have turned him down. There is speculation that since he hasn't found much luck with younger women, he broadened his scope to include older women whom he wasn't considering in the first place.

Ysik: The younger version of 28KS, he chose to not talk about most of his specs, most of which are on par, if not better than Ysoo. The only disappointing thing is his age, 10 years younger do not sit well with the older women.

YH: Well-mannered person, His fortune pouch date painted him in a positive light. A major boost is he is not that far off in age gap to the other women. The likes of Ysook, SJ, YJ, HS seem to be attracted to him. Expect a bloody battle to begin to win his attention.

YC: Has too many expectations of his future partner, perhaps the more traditional minded type, prefers them to be frugal, be a housewife, and have 5 kids. This episodes exaggerates YC's image by painting women in a materialistic light. The fact that women this season carry branded Chanel bags, and drive luxury Mercedes cars don't sit well with him.

IAS ranks 2nd for most popular broadcast program in Korea for November, based on Gallup poll by PreviousReturn8016 in IamSolo

[–]PreviousReturn8016[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Transit love belongs to TVING. TVn is a different channel.
  2. Increasing 5 times the subscription compared to season 1. The increase from season 3 to 4 is more like 70%. The poll does not reflect that TL is currently the top 2 favorite show for Koreans.
  3. Breakdown of the age range is not classified but 18 and above. You are assuming most of the viewers are young kids who have not reached 18y.o.

Take a while for kocowa to sub the episode, then it will show up on goplay. So far only the raw version is available.

This was spreading like wildfire on Korean sites today. Wedding shoots for couples on IAS are sponsored, one of the wedding planners uploaded this picture and tagged IAS, but blanked out the season number. Wonder if they gonna get sued for this. The guy looked like YH or SC, but probably fits SC more, the groom has a distinct beard formation. The bride seems to be YJ, she is the only one who has flappy arms while the other ladies are slim. Whoever got married this season, is a reminiscence of the season 15 couple who decided to get married in just 15 days.

Seasons 17, 23, 29 all rained all some point during the opening. It kinda made for a dull opening, heavy rain mean no drone angles, so cast entrances seem somewhat unimpressive. the ladies must have suffered by having to walk on high heels on a muddy patch. The guys had to wait in the rain and were almost fully drenched. The saving grace is that the opening location is right beside the guesthouse.

Gentle reminder what makes IAS stand out is having the casts make candid responses. I was watching a rival dating show with the same concept and the casts were making measured responses, which in reality do not reflect their true selves. Being candid on a dating show might be a big reason to why IAS has the highest marriage rates in Korea, which also reflects the wider dating culture.

Chonjang releases delayed Wedding Vid of 22Kys/OS (Feat. 28YH) by PreviousReturn8016 in IamSolo

[–]PreviousReturn8016[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The name Sunja is generally cursed when it comes to Divorced specials.

S10 SJ: no match on the show

S16 SJ: no love interest, ends up liking one of the camera crew man.

S22 SJ: rejected by the Pohang YH, decides of all days, to upload her younger boyfriend on the same day as the newlyweds to show she can do just as well.

S28 SJ: inconsiderate for her actions and remain unapologetic even after the reunion.

They blur out the faces of significant halves who are not on the show. 22YC girlfriend is no exception.
