Mimi's ideal type is 'romance manga style,' singer reveals no dating since age 17

Singer Mimi opened up about her honest views on dating and her ideal type. Appearing as a guest on the YouTube channel Twelve Floors for the segment 'Business Open,' Mimi engaged in various conversations with the cast.

"I hate cringey flirting" — Mimi's dating views and ideal type

During the video, Mimi discussed her past romantic experiences, revealing that her last relationship was a 50-day courtship when she was 17 years old. When the cast asked about her dating style, Mimi admitted she does not enjoy the 'some' stage (the flirtatious period before dating). "I hate the emotional exhaustion of back-and-forth feelings between me and the other person," Mimi said, adding, "The typical flirting or indirect ways men and women speak is cringey." Instead, she prefers to be direct. "I like you, do you like me? Shall we date? Okay. Then it's love at first sight," she said, emphasizing her preference for straightforward communication.

Mimi also outlined specific criteria for her ideal type. While stating he "must be handsome," she added, "I wish he looked like the men in romance manga." She also mentioned wanting someone tall and noted that the age gap should not exceed 10 years. Finally, she emphasized cleanliness: "He shouldn't smell. He must be neat and clean," she stressed, highlighting the importance she places on a tidy impression.

Psychological analysis: "Likes Mimi vs. Likes Ji-yu"

The conversation shifted to a psychological analysis based on a hypothetical MT (membership training) scenario. The cast debated a situation where, while Ji-yu and Mimi are washing dishes together, Chi-won approaches and says, "Dishwashing is hard, so I'll do it," attempting to take over Mimi's task.

Opinions clashed on Chi-won's intentions. One theory was that Chi-won is being considerate because he likes Mimi. However, another cast member suggested it could be a strategic move to push Mimi away to create space to talk to Ji-yu. "If he likes Mimi, it is natural to spend time with her by helping her out," one member argued. Conversely, another suggested, "It could be a high-level move to push Mimi away and secure a space to be alone with Ji-yu," implying he might be bypassing Mimi to focus on Ji-yu.

Holiday allowances and skincare talk

Before the main topics, the cast shared stories regarding holiday allowances. They discussed their Lunar New Year experiences, noting they gave around 300,000 to 500,000 won in allowance. One cast member even mentioned providing an allowance every month.

The segment also touched on skincare for those with busy schedules. The cast discussed the convenience of mask packs and different formulations, including four specific lineups tailored to skin concerns: 1. Refreshing Moisture, 2. High Moisturizing Cream, 3. Firming Prep, and 5. Glutathione Capsule.
