[Sportschosun Jo Min-jeong] Rumors that Soonja from Season 24 and Sangcheol from Season 13 of "I Am SOLO" are dating in real life are spreading online.
Recently, posts speculating that the two are in a relationship have been appearing across online communities and social media, drawing attention. At the center of the buzz was a group photo of the cast from "Flower Boy Four Seasons." In the released photo, Sangcheol from Season 13, Soonja from Season 24, and several other cast members posed together in a friendly atmosphere.
Some netizens later focused on comments left by the two. An account believed to belong to Sangcheol from Season 13 left a comment on Soonja's post saying, "You're the prettiest," while Soonja from Season 17 reacted by saying, "I can see hearts in my eyes."
Online reactions soon followed, with comments such as "Aren't they dating?" "They look surprisingly good together," and "If it's true, I'll support them." In some communities, posts citing their comments and photos as evidence of a real-life couple theory also began to spread.
However, as of now, neither of them has issued any separate statement regarding the dating rumors.
Soonja from Season 24 drew attention during her appearance on "I Am SOLO" by revealing that she is a vegetarian. She won viewers over with her honest and confident charm, and she has continued to stay in touch with fans after the show.
Sangcheol from Season 13, a former oriental medicine doctor, recently appeared on the "One More Special" episode of SBS Plus and ENA's "I Am SOLO, Love Continues Afterward," where he once again set out to find love. At the time, he said, "Oksoon from Season 13 and I decided to remain good friends," adding, "After the show, I focused on work, so I did not have many chances to meet someone new. This time, I came on the show with a stronger sense of urgency."
