Group Oh My Girl member Mimi (31, Kim Mi-hyun) sparked discussion after criticizing the insincere greeting attitudes of some idols.

On the 24th, the 80th episode of the web variety show "Sales Mode" was released on the YouTube channel 'Twelve Floors'.

Mimi appeared as a guest in that episode. Host Kwak Beom asked about Mimi's dating history, saying, "I heard you've been in relationships." Mimi revealed, "I graduated well from middle school and dated for 50 days when I was 17 in high school. That was my last relationship," drawing attention.

PH Won mentioned, "I have a close connection with Oh My Girl's Hyojung because we hosted a radio show together. When Mimi was scheduled to appear, I called her and she said, 'She's so innocent she won't know anything,' and asked me to take good care of her." In response, Mimi jokingly retorted, "My brain is rotten," eliciting laughter.

Next, Kim Won-hoon asked, "Why haven't you dated for a long time?" Mimi firmly stated, "I've already started my career, and I dislike situations like 'some' (ambiguous relationships). They are cringeworthy, and I don't want to waste emotions on the back-and-forth feelings between me and the other person. I just can't stand their unique flirting style."

Furthermore, Mimi added, "I wish someone would say, 'I like you, do you like me? Do you want to date?' It should be love at first sight."

In response to Kim Ji-yu's comment, "If there was definitely mutual attraction, the guy must have approached," Mimi insisted, "There really wasn't. I never even received a single DM (direct message). Even if flirting happened, I wouldn't notice it. Unless someone speaks directly, I won't know."

Mimi also openly shared her ideal type. She answered, "First of all, he must be handsome like the protagonist of a shoujo manga. And I wish he were a bit taller."

Kwak Beom asked, "Really? Has there been not even one person you've liked since you turned 17?"

Mimi replied, "No. When we go to broadcasting stations, we see many idols and singers. Some people have 'kkeodeureok' (a dismissive nod) as their default greeting. Whether I'm interested or not, just seeing them greet like that makes me angry. There are some who simply pass by saying 'Hello' without any real effort." She then mimicked casually nodding her head without looking up.

He continued, "I've seen so many such instances that it might be why I'm not interested. If you're going to greet someone, shouldn't you do it brightly (politely)?" expressing his frustration.
