Comedian Lee Guk-ju (40) opened up about her concerns regarding dating.

On the 22nd, a video titled "Gook-ju's Japan Life VIPs, We Went to a Tokyo Restaurant! Asking the 'Love Interference' 7-Year MC About Love" was uploaded to Lee Guk-ju's YouTube channel.

Kim Sook, who met Lee Guk-ju while she was living in Japan, said, "I saw the bright smile I used to see before. You look comfortable being here. But now that I see you, it seems you've become lonely."

Hearing this, Lee Guk-ju replied, "I hadn't even thought about dating before. I originally thought love came before work. I think I was craving love because I was busy with work." She added, "Now that work has disappeared, I realize I was the one who valued work."

Lee Guk-ju said, "If asked whether I want to marry a good person or date for the rest of my life, I'd say I want to date forever. But since it seems I can't date forever, I think I want to get married."

Furthermore, Lee Guk-ju said, "Rather than a serious love, I want to meet someone who feels fun to be with," adding, "I want to meet someone reliable. I think I'm tired now. I don't want to lean on someone's body; I want to lean on their heart."

Hearing this, Kim Sook advised, "From a man's perspective, no one wants someone who wants to lean on them; they want someone to stand beside them. What's needed is someone to stand side by side with you."

Lee Guk-ju said, "I am confident in my work," but added, "But marriage and love aren't things I can do alone, so it seems scary."

Lee Guk-ju confessed that she has had more worries since turning 40, saying, "I think I'll probably give up when I turn 45." She also mentioned, "But people around me say, 'If you're going to do it anyway, you should do it sooner,' so it's hard to let go."

When Lee Guk-ju said she is at an age to hear nagging from others, Kim Sook comforted her, saying, "Hearing that kind of nagging means you're still young."
