Seo Seong-gyeong “I need to be 185cm tall and have a car” – single for 6 years

Comedian Seo Seong-gyeong revealed the reasons behind her long six-year hiatus from dating. It wasn't simply a lack of opportunity, but rather a result of her rising standards combined with her personal personality.

Appearing on the content 'Fox Den' from the YouTube channel 'Meme-gorism' on the 23rd, Seo Seong-gyeong said she has been single since breaking up with her ex-boyfriend in 2020. The breakup occurred while her ex-boyfriend was serving in the military.

“If you don't date for a long time, your standards become too high”

Seo Seong-gyeong explained that as the dating hiatus grows longer, it is inevitable for standards to rise. She lamented, “If you don't date for a long time, your standards become so high that you can't even start.” She added that when being introduced to someone, the mindset of "Let's see if we are a good match" comes first, preventing love from blossoming.

She explained that while she could follow the flow of emotions through 'natural encounters,' blind dates cause her to apply evaluative criteria even before things begin. She added that every time she is introduced to someone, the thought of "Let's see if they fit me" comes first, preventing it from leading to a relationship.

This tendency is also linked to her lifestyle. Defining herself as a 'homebody,' she enjoys hobbies like decorating diaries and spends time alone. Entering her 30s, the change of wanting to rest at home on weekends rather than being active outside is also a factor making her hesitate to date. She even made a self-deprecating joke that while having conversations, it feels like the other person suddenly pulls away.

“185cm tall, small face, and a car is a must”

The specific ideal type conditions revealed by Seo Seong-gyeong are becoming a hot topic. Instead of simply saying 'a tall man,' she listed detailed requirements. Seo Seong-gyeong presented her physical standards, saying, “I wish he were around 185cm tall. That way, when we link arms, his shoulder can be at my head level.”

Her appearance requirements are also specific. She said, “I want him to have an incredibly small face and long legs.” She then added the unique condition, “I hope he doesn't know he's handsome,” and requested the unexpected charm of him being rather bad at dressing well.

Personality and environmental conditions followed. Along with the conditions that he must be kind and sweet and good at taking photos, she added the realistic wish, “I also wish he had a car,” because she does not own one. The other members appearing on the show reacted with exhaustion to the endless stream of conditions.

On this day, Han Ji-won, Heo Mi-jin, and Kwon Da-yeon appeared together to share stories about the dating lives and daily routines of women in their 20s and 30s. The cast shared experiences of desperately wanting to date but missing opportunities because they couldn't muster the courage or act proactively.

Seo Seong-gyeong mentioned her past experience working part-time jobs in environments good for dating, such as PC cafes, movie theaters, and amusement parks. She also shared an anecdote from a Gag Concert company dinner and her tendency to reflexively be on guard even when a man shows interest.

Seo Seong-gyeong debuted through tvN's 'Comedy Big League' in 2022. 'Fox Den,' presented by the YouTube channel 'Meme-gorism,' is a girl-talk content series from the channel that gained popularity with 'Fox Club,' dealing with the honest concerns of women with various guests.
