She felt a sense of responsibility.

Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun recently appeared on Shin Dong Yeop’s YouTube channel and honestly revealed her self-management secrets while promoting as a group.
In particular, she recalled when she refrained from dating out of a sense of responsibility for Girls’ Generation.
Member Hyoyeon stated, “I heard so many things that my parents would say from Seohyun, and I am grateful. Sometimes you want to play more and are more interested in guys. But then, she would tell me, ‘Right now, you are the face of Girls’ Generation, so you shouldn’t do that.”
To this, Seohyun confessed her true feelings.
At that time, Girls’ Generation was everything to me. I thought I shouldn’t be involved in dating rumors as the group’s youngest member.

However, she added that she did not completely give up on dating.
Instead, I had many indirect experiences. I would see the types of people the members dated and think, ‘I shouldn’t meet that type of person,’ or ‘That person seems okay.’

When asked if she saw the online community board post about her declaring that she is single and that her ideal type was a “man like me”.
Seohyun replied, “I saw it. I agree with it to some extent. I think there must be a man like me somewhere.”
