Kim Dae-ho maps out virtual date in Seosulla-gil

Broadcaster Kim Dae-ho shared his lack of romantic interest while walking through Seosulla-gil near Jongmyo Shrine in a recent YouTube video. During the virtual date, he explained that he hesitates to date because he fears his lifestyle might become bad luck for a partner.

Broadcaster Kim Dae-ho walked through Seosulla-gil in sunny weather, sharing his candid feelings about his lost romantic spark while mapping out a virtual date course. Released through the YouTube channel 'Hey Kim Dae-ho', the video features his confession that it has been a long time since he has been in a relationship, followed by a journey through places he would like to visit if he had a partner.

"I don't remember the feeling of romance"... Kim Dae-ho's blunt dating style

At the beginning of the video, Kim Dae-ho confessed that while he feels excitement toward the recent weather, he feels no thirst for romance in his daily life. "I don't remember what those good feelings were like when I was dating," he said, suggesting that romantic feelings have distanced him to the point where even the process of thinking about how to please a person he likes feels like a chore. He defined himself as a "style that does clinging love," adding that he feels more comfortable expressing affection himself rather than adjusting to a partner.

A test analyzed his dating type as a "steady and reliable teddy bear type." This result reflects a personality that is taciturn but expresses things honestly and prefers specific, realistic conversations. However, Kim admitted, "I often hear people say they don't know what I'm thinking because I am blunt," noting that a lack of empathy or difficulty understanding abstract expressions are weaknesses he feels in himself. He also showed a passive side, stating, "If I were in a relationship, I would adjust to what the partner wants, but rather than deciding for myself, I tend to follow the partner's opinion."

A "strategic" first course in Seosulla-gil: "Blocking hunger first"

The destination Kim Dae-ho chose for his virtual date was Seosulla-gil near Jongmyo Shrine. He began his walk by mentioning the atmosphere of Jongmyo Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The first course he selected was a modest snack bar on Seosulla-gil. He explained his choice of ramen as a "strategic course to block the possibility of a girlfriend becoming sensitive because she is hungry."

In this process, Kim showed a preference for common, small-scale atmospheres over flashy restaurants. "Showing a cool image is fine, but my way is to quickly show my honest self," he stated, revealing a preference for getting close to a partner through a comfortable appearance rather than being formal. As he walked, he naturally conversed with citizens he met, showing his daily life of enjoying time alone while still communicating with others.

"Fearing I might be bad luck to a partner"... Kim Dae-ho speaks on the weight of marriage and romance

Conversations with citizens met on the street revealed Kim's views on romance in greater depth. When asked about marriage and children, he mentioned the value of family, saying, "Looking at a child is the best thing in the world," yet he seriously explained the reason he hesitates to date. "There are so many things I like and I am comfortable living alone, but if I meet someone simply because I cannot stand being lonely, I feel sorry and cannot date them because I fear my life might become bad luck for that person," he said.

This is interpreted as a cautious attitude, showing that he is wary of his lifestyle placing a burden or negative influence on others, going beyond a simple loss of interest in dating. The video concluded with Kim's plain walk through the scenery of Seosulla-gil, revealing his values without filter.
