Article talks about the current trend of male celebrities who have shown that they have 'sexy brains' by either expressing a strong opinion or just showing their knowledge prowess on variety shows. These trending males aren't necessarily handsome either and include Heo Ji Woong, Kim Kap Soo, Tyler and such.
Article then goes on to question why there aren't any female celebrities known for their brains and explains that Korean women are usually taught that being too smart makes you look overbearing and lacking in charms.

1. [+1,276, -126] From the perspective of a man, I don't care how pretty a woman is. If she's airheaded, I can't stand it. I know everyone's obsessed with Suzy but I don't find her all that (attractive). And I like Im Siwan because he's smart too.
2. [+852, -124] Kim Tae Hee?
3. [+272, -34] Even if women want to start showing their brains, people won't care unless they're attractive still. I know some of the trending 'sexy brained males' are handsome too but I think the standards are a bit more strict for women.
4. [+259, -25] Males just want to see pretty women, and that's that. They don't care about how smart a woman is. There's no show for smart women because there's no market for it.
5. [+130, -7] As the saying goes, you can live with a woman who's smart but ugly but not a woman who's pretty but dumb.
6. [+88, -2] It'll be difficult. Even in the shows like 'The Genius', it's only the pretty women who survive irregardless of how smart they played the game. I don't care about the issue since I always like looking at a pretty face but female celebrities won't be escaping from the 'white paper image' (there's an adjective in Korean called 'white paper beauty' where people sense a certain type of beauty from a pretty woman who is basically simple-minded or looks like she doesn't know much) any time soon.
7. [+93, -8] When I see Tyler nowadays, I can see the appeal of 'sexy brained males'. He's amazing..
8. [+87, -8] The problem is that if they created a show about smart women, male viewers won't watch. They'll just want prettier women. There's a tendency for men to shy away from women who are smarter than them.
9. [+75, -5] It won't matter how smart she is when she'll be hated for being ugly
10. [+39, -3] Too bad that no matter how smart a woman is, she'll still act dumb in front of guys because she knows that's how you captivate them.
