Comedian Jeong Seon-hee: 'I've dated younger men... I dislike overly affectionate guys'

South Korean comedian Jeong Seon-hee has revealed her past romantic experiences, specifically mentioning a relationship with a younger man and her strong dislike for excessive displays of affection from partners.

“

I can't stand a man's aegyo (cute, coquettish behavior). Just thinking about it is terrifying.

During a YouTube broadcast on the channel 'Jeong Seon-hee Who Left Home,' while anticipating a traditional Korean 복날 (Boknal) meal, Jeong was asked to choose between an older man who would treat her to a special meal and a younger man who would take her to popular spots. After a moment's hesitation, she humorously declared she would go alone, but then leaned towards the younger man, adding that she might find him irritating if he were too young.

Jeong elaborated on her aversion to overly affectionate behavior, stating, "I can't stand a man's aegyo (cute, coquettish behavior). Just thinking about it is terrifying." She recalled that even when she dated younger men in the past, she avoided those who were excessively "aegyo-filled." She described such individuals as feeling like younger siblings, and she would prefer they keep their distance.

I didn't meet people who were this aegyo-filled even when I dated younger men in the past.

She attributed her discomfort with male aegyo to her upbringing, explaining, "It's probably because I have a younger brother. We have rough conversations." This direct communication style with her sibling seems to have shaped her preferences in romantic relationships, leading her to find overt displays of affection from men burdensome.
