So Yi-hyun, "Kim Seung-soo is a perfect man, but he seems to prefer being alone"

Actress So Yi-hyun offered unsparing praise for the charms of her close senior Kim Seung-soo, while also providing an honest assessment regarding his marriage possibilities. She noted that while he is a perfect man who takes meticulous care of his juniors and generously buys them meals and drinks, he does not seem to have much interest in marriage. While praising him as someone whose charm is second to none, So Yi-hyun's witty remark that "he is too comfortable being alone" brought laughter to the studio, even touching upon the feelings of Kim Seung-soo's mother.

In the 514th episode of the SBS variety program 'My Little Old Boy' broadcast on the 11th, actress So Yi-hyun appeared and showcased her honest and pleasant wit. On this day, MC Seo Jang-hoon introduced the special connection between So Yi-hyun and Kim Seung-soo, drawing attention to their relationship. The two have continued their connection, having played a married couple in a drama in the past and recently playing a married couple living in neighboring houses in a recent work.

Seo Jang-hoon also mentioned that So Yi-hyun has not been sparing in her praise for Kim Seung-soo. In response, So Yi-hyun described Kim Seung-soo as "too good a senior and a person." Beyond being a colleague with good acting chemistry, she explained that he is a senior who makes those around him feel comfortable on the filming set. So Yi-hyun highly evaluated his human charm, stating that Kim Seung-soo was like a "big brother" figure who led the atmosphere on set.

The praise did not stop there. So Yi-hyun revealed that Kim Seung-soo "is so good to his juniors and seniors and is perfect," adding that "he buys meals well and buys drinks well." She noted that it was impressive how he would step forward first on set to take care of people and naturally mingle with colleagues. This is interpreted as an evaluation that his true charm lies in his attitude of caring for those he works with, rather than his flashy appearance or fame.

However, the atmosphere of warm praise took a turn when the topic of marriage arose. So Yi-hyun said, "He is so good, but unfortunately, it seems like Oppa really has no intention of getting married," and "He is too comfortable being alone." It was an honest analysis that while he is flawless as a person, he does not seem proactive about the choice of marriage. The studio's attention focused on the unexpected evaluation from So Yi-hyun, who seemed to know Kim Seung-soo's strengths better than anyone.

That is not to say she viewed Kim Seung-soo's possibility of dating as low. So Yi-hyun added, "If he sets his mind to it, he can meet someone anytime. He is a very attractive man," praising him once again. She essentially provided the evaluation of him being a good person while simultaneously judging that he seems to have no intention of marrying. So Yi-hyun's words, which acknowledged the other's charm while questioning the realistic possibility of marriage, increased curiosity surrounding Kim Seung-soo's current situation.

Hearing this, MC Shin Dong-yup induced laughter by speaking on behalf of Kim Seung-soo's mother. He said, "You spoke the truth, but a dagger has been plunged into Mother's heart." It was a joke implying that for a mother who knows her son's strengths better than anyone, the story that an attractive man recognized by those around him seems to have no interest in marriage might not be entirely pleasant. So Yi-hyun's honest remarks brought laughter while naturally drawing the topic to the feelings of parents waiting for marriage.

However, an attitude of not rushing into marriage does not necessarily mean a lack of will to marry. It is also an individual choice to have a high level of satisfaction with living alone or to carefully seek a relationship that fits oneself. While social standards for the marriageable age and the expectations of the parental generation still exist, the thoughts and lifestyle of the individual inevitably take precedence. Whether Kim Seung-soo's actual view on marriage is what it is remains a matter to be confirmed through his own specific position, but So Yi-hyun's remarks showed how marriage is a personal issue, separate from his human charm.

From praise as a perfect senior to the blunt evaluation that he seems to have no intention of marrying, So Yi-hyun did not hide her affection and intimacy toward Kim Seung-soo. Above all, while concluding that he is an attractive man, she drew laughter by adding that he seems comfortable being alone. While it became a somewhat painful joke for Kim Seung-soo's mother, it remained a scene for viewers to glimpse the long-standing connection and honest relationship between the two.
