Broadcaster Choi Hwa-jung (65) Visits Matchmaking Agency, Sparks Marriage Speculation

Broadcaster Choi Hwa-jung, who is single and 65 years old, has captured public attention with a surprising decision regarding marriage.

On the 7th, Choi Hwa-jung released a video on her YouTube channel, 'Hello Choi Hwa-jung,' titled 'Why Did 'Single Icon' Choi Hwa-jung Suddenly Decide to Get Married?'

In the video, Choi Hwa-jung visits a matchmaking agency. She had previously stated, 'I dyed my fingernails with balsam. If any color remains until the first snow, I'll go on a date through a matchmaking company.' As the first snow fell and the balsam color remained, she kept her word and visited the agency.

Choi Hwa-jung expressed her nervousness, saying, 'I'm so nervous. I came because there's still balsam on my nails. I'm very nervous and tense.'

During her meeting with the agency manager, Choi Hwa-jung shared, 'I can't remember the last time I felt fluttered. That's a bit sad.' The manager proceeded with the interview, assessing Choi Hwa-jung's financial status and ideal type.

When asked about financial stability, Choi Hwa-jung replied, 'I'm quite stable. I started working early, and I'm stable. I own a home.' The manager further inquired, 'So, your income is enough to buy a foreign car every month?', to which Choi Hwa-jung affirmed, drawing attention.

Regarding her hobbies, she mentioned her introverted (MBTI 'I') nature, stating, 'People might not believe this, but I'm an introvert. I like spending time with my 'Jun,' reading books alone, and cooking.'

She further elaborated, 'I'm genuinely not lonely when I'm alone. Sometimes in interviews, I have to say 'I'm lonely because I'm alone' for people to think I'm nice, but I truly enjoy being by myself. Sometimes I wake up in bed and smile slightly because I'm so happy,' revealing her contentment with solitude.

On her ideal type, she commented, 'First of all, I don't like overly dapper styles. A man who is older but has a lot of muscles, wears ripped jeans, and rides a Harley motorcycle is hard for me to handle. I prefer someone who is aging naturally. However, if I meet someone like that and they have charm, I might be drawn to them. There needs to be something like that, but meeting people isn't easy, so such incidents don't happen,' she said with a laugh, adding, 'Who would date a 65-year-old?'

Choi Hwa-jung debuted as a TBC TV talent in 1979 and has since gained widespread popularity as a radio DJ, MC, and actress. Her SBS Power FM radio show, 'Choi Hwa-jung's Power Time,' which she hosted for over 20 years, remains a beloved long-running program. Recently, she launched a YouTube channel to connect more closely with her fans.
