Oksun from Season 31 of the SBS Plus and ENA dating reality show "I Am Solo" once again denied rumors of a reunion with Yeongho, revealing her discomfort over the sensationalized attention surrounding their relationship.
On the 15th, Oksun posted a lengthy statement on her social media (SNS), stating, "The photo leak was entirely my mistake, and I met in person that day to convey my apology." Last month, when photos showing the two of them in an affectionate pose were released and sparked attention, Oksun had explained that the photos had been leaked due to her own error.
She also drew a clear line regarding the recent reunion rumors surrounding her visit to Ganwoljae. Oksun explained, "I have been living in Daegu since August, and I went hiking alone on the weekend because I had no special plans." She added, "Ganwoljae is unrelated to Yeongho's area of residence in Ulsan."
She continued, "Even though I shared my hiking activities in real time by time slot on my stories, an article came out claiming I posted them to hint at a reunion, which was shocking." She confessed, "It made me think a lot about whether having even ordinary daily life interpreted as connected to the other person is something one must accept if they appear on 'I Am Solo.'"
In particular, Oksun emphasized that she had never contacted Yeongho with the purpose of reuniting. She stated, "I have not forgotten Yeongho, but I have never once contacted him with the aim of getting back together." She added, "It was a time when I was at a loss as to how to handle the matters immediately before me, so I had even less room to think about romance or marriage."
She also expressed regret over some netizens' descriptions of their relationship. While stating, "Two adults meeting to share each other's daily lives and spend time together is ultimately a choice made by the two of them," Oksun conveyed, "It is true that I felt wronged in the process of our relationship being defined and interpreted with sensational words like 'Pongpong' or 'drunk homecoming.'"
Finally, she left a message for Yeongho: "Thank you for making me able to smile even during the hardest time in my life. Take care."
Previously, on the 14th, Yeongho announced via SNS that he had broken up with Oksun, that they had not reunited, and that he has no intention of reuniting in the future. The two had chosen each other as their final partners in Season 31 of "I Am Solo," but broke up after the show ended.
