Rumors that Season 34's Young-cheol from "I Am Solo" has resigned from his Level 7 civil servant position are spreading, centered around online communities.
Recently, a post was published on the anonymous workplace community "Blind," stating that Young-cheol, who had been working as a Level 7 administrative civil servant at the Nonsan City Hall in Chungnam Province, was processed for voluntary resignation (resignation by personal decision).
An internet user who identified himself as a fellow civil servant colleague of Young-cheol claimed, "The official notice of voluntary resignation has been issued, so his departure is already confirmed," adding, "Rumors had been circulating that he would quit even before going on an overseas trip, and eventually the resignation notice came out."
Young-cheol introduced himself as a Level 7 administrative civil servant affiliated with Nonsan City Hall in Chungnam Province, born in 1990, during the "Multi-child Special" episode of Season 34 of the ENA and SBS Plus variety show "I Am Solo," which aired on the 14th of last month.
At the time, when asked about his plans for raising children after marriage, he answered, "Since there is parental leave, it will be fine if my partner works hard and I take care of the child," earning a positive response from the female contestants.
Given that he had emphasized the stability of his job and parental leave on the broadcast, attention from internet users has focused on the sudden rumors of his resignation. Some have offered various speculations, such as "It is unexpected that he quit after appealing to his stability as a major strength" and "Wasn't this a planned sequence from before the broadcast?"
The controversy surrounding Young-cheol is not new. He previously drew attention by revealing in a pre-interview that he had dated 20 girlfriends. He also received criticism for being rude after making remarks such as "a superior-subordinate relationship" and "you seem like a rich person" to a female contestant.
However, as of now, Young-cheol's resignation status and specific circumstances have not been officially confirmed, remaining only claims from online communities.
"I Am Solo" is a reality dating program in which single men and women who want to get married struggle to find love, airing every Wednesday at 10:30 p.m.
