Youngsik, a Season 22 alum of ENA and SBS Plus’ dating series "I Am Solo", has announced he’s getting married.
On Nov. 19, he shared a photo of his fiancée in a wedding dress on social media with the caption “Love you,” revealing the happy news. The ceremony is set for Jan. 22.
Born in 1980 and currently the CEO of a financial consulting firm, Youngsik won viewers over with his sincerity on the spinoff "I Am Solo, Love Forever." During the “Gol-sing” (“Gold + Dolsing”) special spotlighting successful divorced singles, he said, “I’d love to have a second child someday, but I’d never pressure my partner. I’m ready to take responsibility and raise her child as my own.”
He appeared on "I Am Solo" last August and returned to the spinoff in March, but left both runs without a final match. Still, he became a talking point ― from a date where fellow contestant Jung-sook nodded off mid-outing to an emotional on-air spat with Jang-mi that left him in tears.
Most recently, Youngsik made a cameo in the live-action adaptation of the webtoon "Young Boss." “I got the offer through a friend after "I Am Solo" and wanted to try something new,” he said, adding, “Feeling the energy on set made for a great memory.”
