Almost 400 South Koreans have applied to marry a millionairess who advertised for a soulmate but only eight "serious-minded" applicants will make the final cut, a matchmaking agency said.
The 49-year-old woman who is reportedly worth 18 million dollars has been seeking a husband through an online advertisement since May 20, a spokeswoman for Sunoo matchmaking agency said.
Some 394 men -- including doctors, lawyers, accountants, soldiers and government employees and ranging in age from 26 to 49 years -- responded to the advertisement.
"As a business operator, she was too busy to find her husband herself," the spokeswoman said.
"We initially planned to keep the bid open until the end of this month but the woman felt burdened by unwelcome media attention and she wanted it closed Tuesday."
The woman picked eight of the men for interviews and is expected to meet two or three of them per month over the next three months.
They are aged between 37 and 49 and include company employees, teachers and bank workers.
"The bride prefers average but serious persons to high-flying professionals," the spokeswoman said.
"She wants a soulmate with a passion for life, who will share the ups and downs of life with her."

韓國一家婚介公司日前稱，一位千萬女富豪發布征婚廣告尋找紅顏知己，引來近400人應征，而最終只有8位“態度嚴肅”的男士最終入圍“決賽圈”。
婚介公司Sunoo的女發言人稱，這位現年49歲的女富豪于今年5月20日開始在網上刊登征婚廣告，據稱其資產達1800萬美元。
大約有394位男士前來應征，其中包括醫生、律師、會計、軍人和政府工作人員，年齡在26歲至49歲之間。
這位女發言人說：“身為企業經營者，她實在太忙了，沒有時間為自己找老公。”
“我們原計劃將征婚截止到本月底，但討厭的媒體關注讓她覺得壓力很大，所以想在本周二提前結束征婚。”
這位女富豪最終挑選了8位男士面談，并打算在接下來的3個月里，每月與2到3人見面。
這8位男士包括公司職員、教師和銀行職員，年齡在37歲至49歲之間。
婚介公司女發言人說：“這位女士偏愛真誠的普通人，而不是野心勃勃的成功人士。”
“她想找一位對生活充滿熱情的知己，來與她經歷人生的喜怒哀樂。”
