It seems that pretty female celebrities these days have no thoughts of marriage even as they approach forty.

These days, when I watch TV, I am often surprised to hear the ages of female celebrities.

To me, they look like they are in their early thirties, but they are actually thirty-seven or thirty-eight, and before I know it, they are approaching forty.

Oh Yeon-seo is one of them. Born in 1987, she will be thirty-nine in 2026.

When I see her on screen, I don't think she looks thirty-nine at all.

She is beautiful, but looking at her skin and figure, I wonder where the years have gone with how well she takes care of herself.

I still remember her from the drama "My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol," and she gained great popularity as the main character Jang Bo-ri in "Come! Jang Bo-ri."

But thinking that Oh Yeon-seo is already thirty-nine and still hasn't married makes me feel a bit strange, maybe because I'm from an older generation.

In our time, once a woman turned thirty, people around her would start talking about marriage.

By the late thirties, there was a sense of worry as if something major was happening.

These days, things have completely changed.

Women have their own careers, earn money, and live well on their own, so the idea that they must get married has diminished significantly.

Especially for someone successful in their field like Oh Yeon-seo, there's no reason to rush into marriage with someone they don't truly want to be with just because of age.

Thinking about it, that seems right.

It's not about getting married quickly; it's much more important who you marry.

It might be a hundred times better to live happily alone than to end up with the wrong person and suffer for a lifetime.

But strangely, a woman's heart feels differently.

When I see a beautiful and capable woman like Oh Yeon-seo on TV, I can't help but think, "It would be great if a good man appeared for her."

This doesn't mean that you have to be happy through marriage. If you can be happy living alone, that's the best life.

However, there is also happiness in meeting a good person, falling in love, and building a family, so I hope that if such a connection exists, she doesn't miss it.

Looking at it this way, it seems that being forty these days is really different from being forty in the past.

Seeing Oh Yeon-seo makes it even more apparent.

Instead of saying 'a single woman approaching forty,' it's much more fitting to describe her as a woman who is still beautiful, working hard at her job, and living her life well.

Still, a woman's heart keeps saying one thing.

I hope that when a good person appears, she doesn't take too long to date and can enjoy love and happiness. Time really flies faster than you think.
