CNBLUE leader and actor Jung Yong Hwa does hope to get married but if you are waiting for him to propose you may have a long wait.

The 25-year-old is giving himself a few decades.

The star of "You're Beautiful," "Heartstrings," "Future's Choice" and "Three Musketeers" recently appeared on the MBC program "Picnic Live" and met with some single women in their 30s. He was asked whether he would ever get married.

The women in the audience supplied some fictional candidates. They suggested Chun Song Yi, played by Jun Ji Jyun in the drama "You Who Came From The Stars" and Oh Ro Jin, the role played by Hwang Jung Eum in "Kill Me, Heal Me." They also suggested the grandmother Kang Gye Yeol from the documentary film "My Love, Don't Cross The River."

What was he looking for in a woman?

"It would be great if it was a girl that could understand the demands of my profession, listen to music with me and someone I could talk about music with," he said.

But he must not have met such a girl, because he said that he never seriously thought about marriage. There have been dating rumors before, linking him up with co-star Park Shin Hye and Girls Generation's Seohyun. But he denied those rumors.

In the past he has said that he likes relationships that are more like friendships but so far none of his friendships have progressed far enough to be serious. He did say that he wanted to be married before he turned 50.

"By 45 or 47 at the latest," he said. "Any later than that and I'm afraid that I'll lose to other dads when playing sports."

While he might really be prepared to wait that long, the popular singer and actor is also known for his sense of humor.

In a 2014 interview with the Korean media outlet The Star he described his ideal type. He likes a girl who is easy-going and who won't snap at him.

"Someone who can accept me the way I am, who doesn't play games with me,' he said. "I like that kind of person. I have a casual manner. Of course I will do all I can do for her. For example, I can write or sing songs for her, but celebrating event days is not my things. I don't even know my schedule."

His April 16 appearance on "Picnic Live" also includes performances of his songs "Last Leaf, "Like a Child" and "Mileage."
