Sung Yoo Ri revealed that her ideal type is Yoo Seung Ho.

She appeared on SBS Power FM "Choi Hwa Jung's Power Time," and was asked by DJ Choi Hwa Jung "which younger actor do you want to act with?" Sung Yoo Ri quickly replied, Yoo Seung Ho.

Sung Yoo Ri said, "the way he looks is my type. His melancholic eyes are nice."

She also said, "in front of the person I like, I become frozen and that person begins to misunderstand and think that I don't like them. Even still, I can't talk in front of the person I like. I've dated a younger guy before, but they don't call me noona. I think I would be able to date someone that is two years younger than me right now."

Netizens commented, "he's 12 years younger than you," "he's my type too, he's so good looking," "she looks good with Yoon Kye Sang."
