The Instagram handle of I Am Solo Season 31's Young-ja (born in 1994, civil engineer) is @now.iz_. Young-ja, who was roommates with Sun-ja, was recently swept up in a bystander controversy due to her interview remark, "If you don't make it an issue, it doesn't become an issue," but this is interpreted as a pacifist tendency to avoid conflict. Meanwhile, the only real-life couple from Season 31 revealed through the live broadcast is Kyung-soo and Sun-ja; the couples Young-sik and Jung-hee, and Young-ho and Ok-soon have broken up. Sang-chul revealed that he is currently dating someone new.

I Am Solo Season 31, which garnered attention every episode for its unprecedented power struggles and factional controversies, is seeing heated off-screen battles through the cast members' Instagrams even before the lingering feelings of the final selection have faded after the live broadcast.

In particular, the interview and statement of Young-ja, the roommate who shared a room with Sun-ja—who stood at the center of the Season 31 bullying controversy—are sparking massive debate among netizens. As an editor who tuned into I Am Solo every week and was deeply immersed from a viewer's perspective, I will summarize everything at once: from Young-ja's detailed profile and honest thoughts on the interview controversy to the current status of the Season 31 real-life couples that viewers are most curious about.

1. Unexpected Charm: Season 31 Young-ja's Detailed Profile and Instagram

Young-ja, who caught everyone's eye with her cute and youthful appearance early in the broadcast, made headlines by revealing a highly unexpected profession during the self-introduction segment.

Age: Born in 1994
Profession: Civil Engineer
Instagram Handle: @now.iz_

She is a career woman born in 1994, working confidently as an engineer in the construction and civil engineering industry, which has an overwhelmingly high male ratio. Right after the broadcast ended, a statement detailing her relationship with Sun-ja and behind-the-scenes stories was posted on Young-ja's Instagram, causing a surge in visitors currently.

2. "If You Don't Make It an Issue...": Season 31 Young-ja's Interview Controversy, Is She Really a Bat?

Currently, the hottest potato among netizens is a specific interview remark by Young-ja. The remark she left during an interview in the latter half of the broadcast, which had the nuance of "If you don't make it an issue, it doesn't become an issue," became the source of trouble.

Regarding this, some viewers poured out sharp criticism, saying, "Isn't she just standing by when there is clearly a victim?" and "She's like a bat trying to please both sides."

Editor's Honest Thoughts: She Is Merely a Pacifist

Honestly speaking, however, I think the criticism directed at Young-ja is a bit excessive. As those who watched the broadcast closely will know, Young-ja herself showed that she was very exhausted by and disliked the gossip-like conversations that commonly occurred in the women's dorm during the show. She simply didn't want to make enemies of the opposing members, and labeling this as being a 'bat' is closer to mere speculation. Just like in real social life, isn't it the demeanor of a pacifist who gets along reasonably well with those people right now and doesn't want to take anyone's side to get involved in a mud fight on a broadcast? I believe an attitude of not hastily intervening in others' conflicts cannot unconditionally be defined as standing by or being evil.
