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."

韩国一家婚介公司日前称，一位千万女富豪发布征婚广告寻找红颜知己，引来近400人应征，而最终只有8位“态度严肃”的男士最终入围“决赛圈”。
婚介公司Sunoo的女发言人称，这位现年49岁的女富豪于今年5月20日开始在网上刊登征婚广告，据称其资产达1800万美元。
大约有394位男士前来应征，其中包括医生、律师、会计、军人和政府工作人员，年龄在26岁至49岁之间。
这位女发言人说：“身为企业经营者，她实在太忙了，没有时间为自己找老公。”
“我们原计划将征婚截止到本月底，但讨厌的媒体关注让她觉得压力很大，所以想在本周二提前结束征婚。”
这位女富豪最终挑选了8位男士面谈，并打算在接下来的3个月里，每月与2到3人见面。
这8位男士包括公司职员、教师和银行职员，年龄在37岁至49岁之间。
婚介公司女发言人说：“这位女士偏爱真诚的普通人，而不是野心勃勃的成功人士。”
“她想找一位对生活充满热情的知己，来与她经历人生的喜怒哀乐。”
