seventeen’s ultimate ideal types
request: hello~ 🌼✨ what kind of people do you see svt ending up with?? have a nice day, dear!
first of all, thanks for the request angel! we decided to do this in paragraph style featuring qualities/attributes we feel would each member’s ideal life partner might possess based on what they have mentioned in previous interviews and based on what we know about their personalities and relationships with the other members. we hope this fulfills what you were looking for ♡ this is a rather long post so we’ll make it a read more after seungcheol (that way you have an example and can decide if you want to continue reading and don’t have to scroll a thousand miles if not!)
it’s only fitting that someone so generous and nurturing towards others would want someone who was able to be generous and nurturing towards him. his ideal soulmate would be someone extremely caring, someone who could give him reassurance that he was making them and everyone around him proud, and someone who could give him motivation to keep working hard. basically, he would want someone who could give to him what he spends so much time giving to others! he will probably end up with someone who is confident and passionate, someone who works hard, who maybe comes off intimidating to others at first, but is extremely soft towards him and to their loved ones. he would like someone very similar to himself.
jeonghan has mentioned before that he wants someone who can take care of him, and he most likely means emotionally. someone that could maybe guide him, someone who offers good advice and is willing to listen to all of his problems and fears without belittling them. someone with a sense of maturity (regardless of their age) who also knew how to have fun and joke around at times; someone with an age appropriate shell and mature persona but a childlike spark. someone sarcastic and witty who could keep up with his jokes, but who knew when to stop joking around and when a certain tenderness was needed. someone dedicated to making him feel loved and wanted.
as he’s mentioned, the most important thing to joshua in a partner would be a good heart. it might go further than that, though; he might be especially attracted to people that dedicated their life’s work to helping others or making the world a better place. he would be drawn to people that wanted to bring happiness and joy to others, someone who exuded positivity. he’s a pretty happy person himself, and would like someone who contributed to that without having to alter who they are. that’s not to say he wouldn’t like someone that struggled to find happiness for themselves, though. he would love to be able to be someone’s source of happiness, so as long as they didn’t make a blatant effort to ruin his or that of others. as long as the person was honest about their feelings, and had good intentions, he would be on board. he would like someone a little dorky, eccentric, or quirky, too.
junhui has mentioned that he likes “innocent but sexy” people, so what does that mean exactly? to put it simply, he’d like someone that came off as pure in a way, but had a little extra spunk. someone that on the surface seems kind, almost cookie cutter and usual, but has a bit of sass or wit to them. someone with layers. maybe somewhat oddly, he’d be attracted to people who were almost moody in a way. someone who could go from being sugar and spice and everything nice to aggressive and passionate and intense in the snap of a finger. someone who knows what they want and how to get it. someone receptive to his affection and corny jokes that would use sarcasm as a response more often than not; someone who didn’t take him too seriously but able to understand when they should.
soonyoung never really offers much depth when asked about his ideal type; he says fairly vague things like “someone who likes me” or someone who “smells like home”. these responses, though, do offer insight to one thing: that he wants to feel safe with his future life partner. he needs someone that loves him for him, takes him as he is, and doesn’t ask him to change. while he is typically very playful and joyous, he is human, and he’d want someone that could have endless fun with him on his good days but could reassure him and lift his spirits on the bad ones, since, being so rare, they’d seem especially bad in context. he’d like someone that made him always feel valid. someone energetic yet patient, someone that laughs at all of his jokes but also listens to all of his worries and helps him come up with solutions. someone that can always remind him that it will all be okay and the hard times lead to better ones.
wonwoo, (maybe not so) deep down, is a hopeless romantic. he’d want a lover that invested their heart and soul into him. maybe someone shy in terms of emotions, someone that struggled to be vulnerable or to open up, but willing to do so for him. he’d want to know every part of his partner: what made them smile, what made them cry, their pet peeves, their dreams, their goals, their values, and he’d want them to want to know the same things about him. he’d want someone that craved him in every way and listened to his idealistic views on things. someone with an interest in literature or art. someone who could enjoy the simpler things in life, someone that made his presence feel valuable and wanted.
another member that would want someone very similar to himself, jihoon would be attracted to someone mature with an interest in music. someone who could understand the value of hard work and didn’t complain about him working so much, but rather cherished and made the most of their time together. he might prefer someone that came off a little more friendly than himself, though. someone charismatic that was hard to ignore would quickly draw him in. someone ambitious and goal-oriented, someone that expressed their appreciation for him often. someone that made him feel like his hard work was worth it. someone that could give him advice and take his. someone that understood the importance of mutual love and support.
someone bright and optimistic, to put it simply. someone with a passion and a zest for life. seokmin would enjoy being put on a pedestal by his partner; he’d like feeling like he was the final piece of his partner’s life that made them feel whole. he’d like someone adventurous, someone that made everyday feel new and exciting. someone that keeps him on his toes. he would like someone that could be both cute and sexy, not necessarily in terms of appearance, but in terms of presence. someone that could make others feels welcome and comfortable, but could also take command of a room if they felt like it. someone that made it feel like everything would be okay no matter the circumstances life brought about.
mingyu would like someone confident and maybe even outspoken. someone who wears their heart on their sleeve. someone that shows their appreciation for him frequently. someone who enjoys doing simple, domestic things with him like cooking and cleaning as a way of showing their love. someone that checks in on him often and lets him know they are always thinking of him. he would like someone playful but also genuine- those two qualities in one person can be rare, and he would really appreciate someone that liked to joke around and be silly but also took the time to be real and honest and raw with him.
minghao would really like people that were unique and individualistic. someone that wasn’t afraid to try new things, someone with their own style and way of doing things. he would like someone that was almost hard to figure out, because he’d enjoy the challenge. someone that values quality time and experiences over materialistic things. someone that could bring out his artistic and intellectual side and entertain those parts of him. someone that was willing to engage in his hobbies and learn from him, who also wanted to teach him about theirs.
seungkwan needs someone patient and understanding. he wouldn’t like feeling rushed or incompetent, in fact, if he felt either of those emotions in a relationship, it would break his heart. someone that could make him feel loved without doing much, someone that he could confidently be himself around. he’d like someone that always knew how to comfort him when he needed it. someone that laughs at his jokes. he would really like people that were funny and didn’t make jokes at the expense of others. someone he could be vulnerable towards without being made to feel weak. he would want to be able to express his insecurities without worrying about whether or not his partner would be able to make them disappear or at least minimize them. someone that makes him feel like he’s enough as is.
hansol would like someone that had similar interests to him, but who was a little different to him in terms of their characteristics. he would like someone who is a little less shy than him, an extrovert of sorts, someone who was unapologetically themselves to everyone they met. it’s not that he’s ashamed of who he is, not by any means, but he is a generally quiet person around strangers, and he’d be drawn to people that liked to express themselves openly. someone confident and bold, someone that really knew how to stand out. someone a bit dorky who likes cheesy jokes and would laugh at his. someone that gets along with everyone & is overall very friendly and kind. someone that never made him or anyone feel insignificant.
this little ball of energy would want someone that could keep up with him. someone with a lot of humor and even more spirit, willing to adventure and try new things with him. someone who wanted to watch him grow and be a part of it, maybe take part in the growing with him. someone that never made him feel immature. someone affectionate and sweet. someone that always encouraged him a supported him and made him feel like he was doing well both in his relationship and his everyday life.
