Dramatic Moments in Prague: '나는 SOLO' Couples Face Off

In the latest episode of SBS Plus and ENA's travel show, '지지고 볶는 여행' (Cooking and Traveling), aired on April 4, the contrasting dynamics of two couples from '나는 SOLO' (I Am SOLO) were showcased during their trip to Prague. The episode featured the tense couple, 영수 (Youngsoo) and 영숙 (Youngsook) from Season 22, alongside the more harmonious pairing of 옥순 (Oksoon) and 남자 4호 (Man 4) from Season 9.

The morning began with 영숙 waking up early due to 영수's loud snoring. After taking a shower, a groggy 영수 apologized for his snoring, and the couple attempted to prepare breakfast together. However, instead of the scrambled eggs 영숙 had hoped for, 영수 made dumpling rice, leading to some awkward moments as 영숙 tried to hide her disappointment. Despite her efforts to compliment the meal, she eventually revealed her true feelings, stating she had expected scrambled eggs.

Their breakfast was followed by a scheduled brunch at a Czech restaurant, where they ordered local dishes. However, the atmosphere soured again when 영수's eating habits, particularly the noise he made with his utensils, frustrated 영숙, prompting her to express her annoyance to the production team.

Meanwhile, 옥순 and 남자 4호 appeared more relaxed after resolving their previous tensions. They visited the picturesque town of 체스키 (Cesky) early in the morning, where 남자 4호 cautiously suggested that 영수 and 영숙 join them for a trekking trip the next day. 옥순, who had previously expressed her dislike for trekking, jokingly suggested that 영숙 should go instead.

Upon arriving in 체스키, the couple enjoyed taking photos together and were recognized by Korean tourists, who asked if they were a couple, highlighting the popularity of '나는 SOLO' and its spin-off. They shared a delightful meal at a local restaurant, where they discovered a mutual favorite travel destination: New Zealand.

In a sweet gesture, 남자 4호 bought a pair of shoes for 옥순, who had forgotten to bring appropriate footwear for trekking. She expressed her gratitude and excitement for the upcoming trek, while 남자 4호 noted that he was pleased with her reaction.

The episode concluded with the couple exploring the beautiful 체스키 크룸로프성 (Cesky Krumlov Castle), where 옥순's delight at spotting a bear brought out her playful side, earning her the nickname '체바오' (Chebao) from 남자 4호. As they wrapped up their trip, both expressed how the experience had positively influenced their feelings towards each other.

The preview for the next episode hinted at more tension between 영수 and 영숙, as they faced differing preferences for activities, while another couple, 정숙 (Jeongsook) and 영수 from Season 10, had a dramatic moment that left viewers eager for the next installment.
