On ENA and SBS Plus' "I Am SOLO, After Love Continues," Season 26 Kukhwa received the first-impression votes of all six new male cast members, becoming the unanimous pick.

This episode featured six career-driven solo women and six newly joined men meeting for the first time at the 'Four Seasons Guesthouse.'

■ Diverse Stories from the Female Cast

The existing female cast members returned with their own stories. Season 7 Oksoon appeared with blonde hair and surprised everyone by revealing she has been a lifelong solo for 43 years. Season 14 Youngja pledged to successfully 'graduate' on her third attempt, while Season 24 Hyunsuk showcased a style transformation, sharing that she now runs her own pharmacy after becoming independent in Seoul.

Season 26 Jungsook shared that she had previously been a couple with Sangcheol, but the relationship did not lead to marriage. Season 26 Youngja stated she had been focusing solely on work and pledged to show her honest self this time. Kukhwa announced that she had broken up with Season 14 Kyungsoo and is looking for someone who can give her certainty about marriage.

■ Six Male Cast Members Compete with Charisma

The newly joined male cast members also introduced their diverse backgrounds. The first male showed confidence in going straight for Kukhwa, while the second drew attention as a 'lookalike of Jannabi's Choi Junghoon.' The third male revealed he was born in 1979, causing surprise. The fourth displayed a shy charm, the fifth, born in 1981, confessed to a long period of living solo, and the sixth mentioned joining a matchmaking agency and going on blind dates, expressing hope for results this year.

They were each given nicknames: Mister Gong, Seo, Jo, Ji, Cha, and Choi.

■ First Impression Vote Results After Snack Time

During snack time, at Mister Cha's suggestion, the men and women mingled naturally for conversation. Kukhwa had one-on-one conversations with Mister Seo and Mister Gong. Mister Seo praised Kukhwa's glamorous aura, and Mister Gong showed strong interest, saying, 'Seeing you in person, you look like a celebrity.'

In the subsequent first-impression selection mission, Mister Gong, Seo, and Cha all chose Kukhwa. Mister Jo chose Season 7 Oksoon, Mister Ji chose Season 24 Hyunsuk, and Mister Choi chose Season 14 Youngja.

Meanwhile, Season 26 Jungsook and Season 26 Youngja did not receive a single vote and shared feelings of sympathy as former rivals now in the same boat.

At the end of the broadcast, a full-scale self-introduction segment by the male cast members was previewed. "I Am SOLO, After Love Continues" airs every Thursday at 10:30 PM.
