Red Velvet’s Irene has recently sparked a buzz online—not for her stunning performances or visuals, but for her unexpected list of celebrity ideal types, which has gone viral on Korean social media.
According to her Namuwiki page, Irene described her ideal type as someone warm, expressive, and possessing great chemistry with her.
What caught everyone’s attention, however, was the surprising fact that all the celebrity names she mentioned as her ideal types are women.
Among the actresses Irene admires for their charm and smile are Rachel McAdams, Han Jimin, and Jung Yumi.
She once praised Rachel McAdams’ “pretty smile lines” during a radio show, revealing her appreciation for unique and genuine expressions rather than conventional looks.
This consistent preference for female celebrities as ideal types has delighted and shocked fans alike, sparking many playful and curious reactions on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
Fans humorously commented on the unexpected nature of her list, with some joking that if Irene isn’t a lesbian, then all lesbians must be fake, reflecting the surprise and fascination with her tastes.
Others admired how she seemed to compress the ‘sunshine puppy’ charm into one perfect ideal type, highlighting the warmth and expressiveness she values.
While it remains unclear whether Irene’s ideal type list is a reflection of her personal romantic preferences or simply admiration for certain qualities, the revelation has definitely added an intriguing layer to her public image.
Fans continue to discuss and appreciate this glimpse into Irene’s unique sense of attraction, proving once again how multifaceted and relatable their favorite idols can be.
