140911 T-ara discuss Soyeon”s boyfriend Oh Jong Hyuk, ideal types, and more

During a recent interview session with Ilgan Sports, T-ara”s Soyeon, Eunjung, and Jiyeon addressed the topic of dating and ideal types.

The interviewer asked, “Soyeon and Oh Jong Hyuk are an official couple. Is Oh Jong Hyuk close to the members, as well?”

Soyeon said, “We don”t even have time to meet each other,” and laughed. She continued, “The both of us are so busy with work and we respect each other”s work because we can”t cause a disturbance. We try to split our time as best as possible to see each other sensibly. There are even cases where we see each other for just ten minutes.”

The interview addressed the other two: “I feel like you two would also want to date when you see Soyeon dating. What kind of man would you like to meet?”

Eunjung stated, “I don”t have anything specific in mind. I”m okay with people in the business, but I also think I”d be able to date an ordinary person if we were to have a connection. I don”t really have a criteria for a type of person I dislike.”

Jiyeon replied, “To tell the truth, for a long time, I wanted to date, but these days, I don”t. [That feeling] disappeared as we started working on the album.”

Soyeon put in, “Jiyeon has an ideal type that is not idol-like, so I think it”s harder for her to meet a man. To tell the truth, the idols eye one another, so there are many cases in which they connect through dating. There are many male idols around Jiyeon, but she does not really like pretty boys or delicate men, so they don”t connect. She likes the warm type like Yang Dong Geun, but there aren”t many idols like that around us.”

Eunjung added, “But that doesn”t mean Jiyeon likes the manly man style with big muscles. What we mean is she likes the warm and kind type.”
