Red Velvet’s Irene shocked fans with her unexpected list of celebrity ideal types — and they’re all women.
A recent snapshot of Irene’s Namuwiki page exploded on Korean X (formerly Twitter). The page says Irene’s ideal type is someone warm, expressive, with great chemistry. But the real surprise? The celebrities she mentioned as ideal types are female stars like Rachel McAdams, Han Jimin, and Jung Yumi.
Irene described her type as someone "warm, expressive, and with good chemistry." She’s drawn to people "whose lips curl up beautifully when they smile." On a radio show, she praised Rachel McAdams’s "pretty smile lines." She has also mentioned Han Jimin and Jung Yumi before.
Fans didn’t expect such a specific list, especially since it veers from the usual male names many female idols give.
“Her ideal types are all listed on her Namuwiki page, and what’s hilarious is that every single one she’s mentioned is a woman. Seriously, how does a female idol end up listing Rachel McAdams, Han Jimin, and Jung Yumi as her ideal types?”

Reactions flooded in, with some joking:
“If this unnie isn’t a lesbian, then every lesbian in the world must be fake.”
— Fan via X“It’s like she compressed every ‘sunshine puppy’ type into one list. Her taste is absolutely insane (in the best way).”

Irene’s unexpected ideal type list is quickly reshaping her public image, sparking endless chatter online. The situation is still gaining traction.
