Song Ji Hyo: It’s common for people my age to think about marriage. We have had our shares of relationships. We also have friends who are settling down. So…

Lee Yong Jin: So you’re not looking to date for a long time then? Would you like to tie the knot quickly if you find the right person?

Song Ji Hyo: But I don’t want marriage to become the only purpose of my relationship.

… she revealed that she does have certain expectations. When asked to describe their perfect partner, many celebrities list physical attributes–such as height or hair length–or general personality traits, such as a good sense of humor or kindness. When asked about her ideal type, Song Ji Hyo gave a refreshing, specific answer; she looks for a man who can apologize. Jeon So Min strongly agreed that knowing when and how to apologize is an incredibly crucial factor for a relationship to work.

I hope that my future partner knows and understands how to feel sorry [when needed].
