“PRODUCE 48” Contestant-Turned-Model Confirmed To Be Dating Rock Band DICKPUNKS Member
On a recent radio show, Kim Taehyeon discussed his relationship with Choi Yeonsoo. He revealed that they first met when she was a young fan. Later on, they naturally got to know each other.
Her father came to a performance of mine back in the day and said his daughter was a fan. I knew about her like that, and as time passed, we saw each other from time to time and things ended up like this. Choi Yeonsoo was originally not my fan, but a fan of the bassist Kim Jae Heung. Things progressed naturally. I struck up a conversation with her first. Now, we’re already three to four years into the relationship. I saw her father a few times ten years ago. And I had to see him again recently due to the marriage. He said, ‘I should’ve killed you back then.’
— Kim Taehyeon
Although Choi Yeonsoo’s father mentioned the last line in jest, netizens could relate to him due to the couple’s huge age difference. Kim Taehyeon was born in 1987, while Choi Yeonsoo was born in 1999. They have a 12-year age gap.
- Can you even see a girl who came to see you in middle school as a fan, as a woman? It’s not like she was the first one to hit on him. Can’t believe he was the one to talk to her naturally. TMI.
- That’s a 26-year-old and a 38-year-old LOL.
- Is he crazy? The age gap is insane.
- If he was in the right frame of mind, he should’ve drawn the line with a kid.
- Her father was so real for that.
- How can a 34-year-old see a 22-year-old as a woman…? I thought that the girl was the first to hit on him because she was a man.
- His age difference with his mother-in-law…
- 12 years…
Given that the couple dated for three to four years, they first started dating when Choi Yeonsoo was 22-years-old. Choi Yeonsoo’s father is celebrity chef Choi Hyun Suk who recently appeared on Culinary Class Wars.
