Lee Geum-hee Names Seo Jang-hoon as Her Ideal Type on 'My Ugly Duckling'

On the latest episode of SBS's variety show 'My Ugly Duckling' aired on the 21st, former announcer Lee Geum-hee appeared as a special MC and revealed her ideal type.

During the show, Lee Geum-hee gifted the 'Mother Avengers' with a special present. Shin Dong-yup humorously remarked, "I thought you'd give them books, but knowing they wouldn't read them," to which Lee Geum-hee smiled and replied, "I thought books might be a burden."

Shin Dong-yup commented on the '60-year-old single' Lee Geum-hee, saying, "Geum-hee nuna is the real 'Ugly Duckling.' There were talks about casting her from the beginning." Lee Geum-hee acknowledged, "There might not be anyone like me in my age group. I'm the king of 'Ugly Ducklings' in Korea."

When Seo Jang-hoon asked, "You haven't married, right?" Lee Geum-hee candidly replied, "I couldn't get married. I just haven't met the right person." She added, "I never thought I'd be single until now. I still dream of marriage, but the opportunity hasn't come."

Known for her generous nature in relationships, Lee Geum-hee shared, "I love taking care of others. I enjoy buying meals and clothes for them. I'm the type to peel peanuts and tear squid at pubs. I'm good at looking after people around me."

When asked if her past partners were unemployed, Lee Geum-hee admitted, "Yes, the boyfriends I liked were either unemployed or didn't own a car. I've never dated someone with a lot."

Seo Jang-hoon asked if she only looks at appearances, and Lee Geum-hee admitted it. Shin Dong-yup jokingly called her the "ultimate appearance supremacist," to which she bashfully agreed. Her ideal type, despite not having high standards, is actor Jung Woo-sung.

Lee Geum-hee is also known as a devoted fan of BTS, particularly of member V. Shin Dong-yup revealed, "Her favorite member is V, but among the 'My Ugly Duckling' members, she chose Seo Jang-hoon as her ideal type."

Seo Jang-hoon, feeling flattered, responded, "I'm very grateful, but I'm on a different path. My looks don't match up," showing a shy expression. Lee Geum-hee expressed her admiration, saying, "He's really good at giving advice and accurately assessing situations. I think we'd have great conversations."
