Sunmi Rejects Romance with 25-Year-Old Actor on 'My Little Old Boy'

On the recent episode of SBS's variety show 'My Little Old Boy', singer Sunmi appeared as a special MC and humorously rejected the idea of a romance with a 25-year-old actor.

During the show, Shin Dong-yup teased Sunmi about her outfit, asking, "Who are you dressed as a daughter-in-law for today?" In response to Kim Seung-soo's mother's comment that her son is single, Sunmi coolly remarked, "Age is just a number these days."

However, when Seo Jang-hoon mentioned that Kim Seung-soo was born in 1971, making him about 25 years older than Sunmi, who was born in 1992, Sunmi was surprised and laughed, saying, "He's the same age as my mom. That's a bit much."

Sunmi shared her dating philosophy, saying, "I've only dated a handful of times. When I date, it's for a long time. I find flirting emotionally draining, so if I'm sure I like someone, I approach them like a bulldozer and say, 'I like you. Don't think about flirting.'"

Regarding her ideal type, Sunmi revealed, "I like a certain face shape. I prefer a face without sharp angles, like Matt Damon. Among soccer players, I like Kevin De Bruyne's face shape."

When Shin Dong-yup suggested that Seo Jang-hoon fits that style, Sunmi smiled and said, "I've seen photos of Seo Jang-hoon from his basketball days, and he was my ideal type."

Sunmi also shared that she raised her two younger brothers, who are two and four years younger than her, like a mother. When Shin Dong-yup asked if Seo Jang-hoon could kiss his sister, Seo humorously replied, "She might hit me."

Sunmi mentioned that she ends phone calls with her brothers by saying "I love you," prompting Seo Jang-hoon to question if siblings really say that. Sunmi then called her brother and said, "Dong-ah, I love you," to which he immediately replied, "Yeah, I love you too," showcasing their warm sibling relationship.
