박민아
When I was in high school, Kim Yeo-ju was very popular.


김여주

민소정
There were so many guys around me who came to confess their love.


박민아
It was rumored that Kim Yeo-ju went to that academy, so all the boys came flocking there saying they went to that academy.

김여주

The writer of 'Solo Escape' is said to be accepting applications for this season.


박민아
Apply now


박민아
Just in case


박민아
Maybe you'll meet your soulmate there~♡


김여주
Hey.. lol

I was curious about Minah's words, half-joking and half-serious.

It's been over 4 years since I've been single

Because I'm almost at the age of marriage...



박민아
Just do it for fun lol


박민아
If you apply, you might not get accepted lol


김여주
Is that so? lol

Yeah, well, there's no guarantee that it'll actually stick.

I hope it's okay



민소정
If it sticks, I'll watch it live


박민아
Me too lol


김여주
lol


김여주
Thank you in advance lol






Knock knock knock.-



김여주
eww-


김여주
I'll just finish this and go to sleep now.

I sat for a long time and stretched out my stiff body.



김여주
...hmm

And then, for a moment, I suddenly remembered a conversation I had with my friends that afternoon.

'Solo Escape'


김여주
...Should I submit the application?

I was touched by what Minah had said jokingly, so I went to the Solo Escape website.

As Mina said, they were really accepting applicants this season.



김여주
...lol


김여주
Oh, really?


김여주
I was lonely for 4 years, and there was no guarantee that it would work out...


김여주
Should I just throw in an application as a joke?

So I clicked on the application link.

Click.-

...





_

The application that was thrown out like that as a joke

I thought it would change my life...

Until then

I didn't know.

...



"I'll go and get the mic-"



김여주
Oh, yes..!

솔로탈출 PD
From here, you can go inside naturally.


김여주
..yes!

I sent in an application with the hope that it would actually work out, but who would have thought I'd end up like this...

I couldn't even imagine


It was my first time filming in my life, and there were so many staff members on set...

I wondered if this was really the reality dating show I had seen.




Knock knock...

I shook off my nervousness and pulled the carrier.



김여주
...Wow, is this the accommodation?


김여주
It's really pretty

You've been here for a month...

It feels like I'm on a trip




Upon entering the accommodation, the first thing that caught my eye was the clean white and black interior and the large, open terrace.



김여주
and...

The quality is crazy..?



김여주
Am I the first one to come?

There was no one else in the room except me.

Are the staff only outside?

Then how do you take pictures with a camera?



김여주
...hmm?

I noticed something black moving around in the corner of the wall.


김여주
uh?


김여주
what..

Whoosh. - Whoosh. -


김여주
Is it a camera?

The small camera was moving around in the direction I was moving.


김여주
Oh, so cute lol


김여주
Move in the direction I'm going lol

This is how they film these days...

That's amazing lol



김여주
Since no one has come yet, should I just look around?

I walked towards the accommodation, which was better than I expected, with an excited heart.




Click.-


김여주
Hmm~


김여주
Is this the men's room?


김여주
It's so spacious, it's like a hotel.




Click.-


김여주
I think this is the girls' room.


김여주
It's really good...


김여주
You're staying here for a month.


김여주
lol





김여주
and...


김여주
There's a swimming pool too...


Clank.-

For a moment, I was absorbed in looking around the accommodation.

where

I heard the front door open.



김여주
!


김여주
I think there's a new person here

Close it.

I hurried to the living room, curious to see who the new occupant was.






김여주
Oh, hello

I greeted anyone who came through the front door.



전정국
hello.


김여주
...ah

I didn't know this guy would come out already.

The author too...

<Introduction to the Solo Escape Program>

Solo Escape is a typical dating program where men and women in their 20s and 30s live together in one house for a month and go out to find each other's lovers.

However, as this program is characterized by solo escape,

You can only leave this dating show if you become the final couple on the last day.

Contestants who do not become couples will be invited to participate again in the next season.

Contestants who remain single will then participate in the next season and the next season as solo escapees, until a couple is formed.

So, in Solo Escape, you will meet long-term participants and new participants.

therefore

You can only stop this program by escaping Solo.

And, there are simple rules for solo escape.

First, they escape as a couple until the end.

Any contestant who fails to meet these requirements will be forced to re-enter the competition in the next season.

Second, please refrain from excessive contact between participants that goes beyond the broadcast review regulations.

Third, please let the staff know your date location in advance.

That was the introduction to Solo Escape.

I really hope you escape solo.
