Actress Oh Yeon-seo opened up about marriage, dating, and why she still lives with her parents — and one remark in particular is going viral.

On the SBS variety show uh, but like, seriously!, which aired on the 22nd, actress Oh Yeon-seo and comedian Kim Gyu-won appeared as guests. On the show, Oh candidly talked about everything from why she lives with her parents to her ideal type and views on marriage, keeping the laughs coming.

When Lee Sang-min asked, "Why don’t you move out and live on your own?" Oh replied, "I have lived on my own before, but living together is just more comfortable for me."

The topic naturally shifted to marriage. When Tak Jae-hoon asked, "Don’t your parents tell you to get married?" Oh said, "They do, but I think they’ve kind of given up now." She added, "It’s not that I won’t get married — I just can’t," drawing attention.

When Lee asked why, Oh admitted, "I really love staying home. I don’t have many chances to meet people." When Kim Gyu-won suggested, "Then how about meeting a fellow homebody?" Oh answered, "I don’t really have anyone to introduce me," prompting Tak Jae-hoon to instantly jump into a mock blind-date bit: "So you’ve got no one to set you up? Hello there," cracking everyone up.

Oh also touched on her ideal type, saying, "I like someone who’s warm and funny." Seizing the moment, Tak started playfully promoting himself. When Oh named laziness as one of her flaws, Tak shot back, "I can lie down for life," turning the set into a sea of laughter.

An impromptu wedding skit followed. When Lee joked, "We could do it today," Tak piled on: "If it’s 11:30 now, we can hold the ceremony at 12 and register the marriage by 1." Flustered, Oh said, "I need some time to get to know someone," but Lee Su-ji pushed the bit even further: "Give it 30 minutes," adding to the chaos.

Toward the end, when Lee Su-ji asked, "Between someone 10 years younger and 20 years older, who would you choose?" Oh replied, "I prefer an older guy."

Oh Yeon-seo debuted in 2002 as a member of the group LUV and now focuses on acting. This year, she starred in Channel A’s drama I’m pregnant.
