In a recent episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview on YouTube’s Channel 117, actress Lim Ji Yeon shared an updated version of her “ideal type.” Known for her role in The Glory and her public relationship with co-star Lee Do Hyun, her answers left fans curious—and amused—by how closely they seemed to match her boyfriend.
When Dex asked about her ideal appearance in a partner, Lim Ji Yeon shared:
Dex: Someone who looks like a puppy vs. someone who looks like a cat. What say you?
Lim Ji Yeon: A puppy.
Dex: A puppy face? With soft features?
Lim Ji Yeon: Yeah, someone with soft, cute features.
Dex: What about height? Do they have to be taller than you?
Lim Ji Yeon: Yeah…? I think, as long as they’re taller than me, I don’t really care how tall.
Dex: What about their shape? Do you like buff guys or can they be thin?
Lim Ji Yeon: Well, I’m on the slimmer side… Maybe that’s why, but I want someone bigger than me.
Dex: Is there anything else you specifically look for, appearance-wise?
Lim Ji Yeon: A nice smile.
When discussing personality, Lim Ji Yeon further described qualities that mirrored Lee Do Hyun.
Dex: Moving on to personality, do you prefer someone who’s tough or sweet?
Lim Ji Yeon: Tough vs. sweet? That’s hard… I’d want both. But if I had to pick, then sweet.
Dex: Sweet?
Lim Ji Yeon: Yeah… Sweet but with a bit of toughness in there. I think that’d be ideal.
Dex: Sweet with a hint of toughness, huh?
Lim Ji Yeon: Just a pinch. And I like people I can rely on. Someone masculine and loyal. I find people like that sexy.
She added that she values someone who listens. “Being a good listener is more important than being a good talker,” she said. “Good chemistry comes from understanding each other.”
Back in 2021, Lim Ji Yeon’s ideal type aligned with Lee Do Hyun, and her answers in 2024 haven’t strayed far. Fans think it’s a great sign for their strong relationship.
