Is a celebrity version of 'I Am Solo' in the works? Many stars are expressing their excitement about the possibility!

ENA and SBS Plus's popular dating show 'I Am Solo' has captivated many celebrities. Recently, a bunch of single celebrities have shown interest in joining the show.

On July 12, during MBC Standard FM's 'Hello, This is Lee Moon-se,' guest Jun Hyun Moo shared his strong desire to date. He talked about his past public relationships, saying, "I didn't reveal them, they were found out. No one likes to reveal their relationships." He added, "I like someone who is considerate, kind, and thoughtful. I think I could marry such a person."

Jun Hyun Moo also said, "I want to compete in a celebrity version of 'I Am Solo.' 'Single's Inferno' is too focused on appearances. I prefer a dating show like 'I Am Solo' that has a more human touch." When asked to introduce himself as he would on 'I Am Solo,' he said, "People think I'm playful and don't listen to others, but when you meet me, I actually keep quiet and listen. I want to be a good conversational partner."

On the first episode of ENA's 'Hyunmoo's Casse' on July 11, Jun Hyun Moo also mentioned wanting to join a celebrity version of 'I Am Solo.' He joked that Seo Jang-hoon seemed excited about the idea.

Choi Hwa Jung also expressed her interest in a '50s and 60s celebrity special' of 'I Am Solo' on the July 11 episode of YouTube channel 'VIVO TV's 'Secret Guarantee by Song Eun-i and Kim Sook.' She mentioned actor Park Byung-eun as someone she wanted to see. She was enthusiastic about participating and suggested an audition due to the large number of interested people.

Choi Hwa Jung said, "It's an honor to be considered for the show. It's already an honor for a woman over 60 to be mentioned in a dating program." She added, "I'm doing it for fun, not to change my fate. It would be fun to participate casually."

Other celebrities like actors Lee Jin Wook, Ahn Eun Jin, Nam Yoon Su, and singer Sandara Park have also revealed they are fans of 'I Am Solo,' raising the possibility of their participation if a celebrity version happens.

Last December, the YouTube channel 'Civilization Express' planned a year-end project for 'I Am Solo' with the series 'Looking for Celebrities Crazy About Love.' Stars like CNBLUE's Jung Yong-hwa, T-ara's Eunjung, April's Yoon Chae-kyung, actor Jang Dong-yoon, SISTAR's Hyolyn, Bora, and Nine Muses' Euaerin were involved. However, the project was canceled due to difficulties in securing participants. They expressed reluctance, saying, "I want to do it, but it's burdensome," "I've never loved someone privately in front of cameras," and "Sorry."

This time, with celebrities themselves expressing a desire to participate, the success of the program seems more likely. Fans are already excited and looking forward to it.

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
