Actress Son Ye-jin says she is too deeply attached to her job to get married.
Son, 34, told Chinese website Sina that her passion for her cinema career has been growing and she has no time for a boyfriend.
"I didn't understand at first why I couldn't meet a guy for so long," Son was quoted as saying. "But as time goes by, I understood why actresses usually get married late. I think their hearts for work become bigger and happiness from the work takes the most space in their hearts."
But Son, who is one of the most-loved actresses in Korea, did not rule out marriage.
"I think part of maturity as an actress comes from their experience in getting married and having children," Son said. "I hope I don't get too old before I can get married."

She said her ideal husband would have to have a big heart and understand her irregular work schedule.
The interview comes as her latest film, "Bad Guys Always Die," opens in Chinese theaters Friday.
The movie, co-directed by Korea's Kang Je-gyu and China's Feng Xiaogang, has reportedly received positive reviews. It opens in Korean theaters on Jan. 21.
The black comedy action film stars Taiwanese actor Chen Bolin. It is about Chinese friends touring Jeju Island who meet a mysterious woman (Son) and get involved in a series of incidents.
Son complimented Bolin for being able to speak Korean in much of the movie. She said the crew laughed at her every time she spoke Chinese.
Son debuted in 2001 with television drama "Delicious Proposal" on MBC.
