Super Junior’s Kim Hee-chul and Twice’s Momo are dating – and K-pop fans are supportive (for once)
‘I don’t know if I deserve such overwhelming love that fans gave me’, the K-pop star told Taeyeon’s VLive channel, Petionista Taengoo, reliving his romance with the Japanese singer
K-pop band Super Junior's Kim Hee-chul has thanked fans for their support over his romance with Momo, a Japanese member of the girl group Twice. The romance was confirmed earlier this month.
During a recent episode of singer Taeyeon's VLive channel Petionista Taengoo, Kim, 38, denied reports they had dated for three years.
“To be honest, we didn't know each other back then,” he said, in the episode which went live on Tuesday (January 28).
But Kim felt a swell of gratitude that came with a dose of guilt for not being forthcoming.
“When this issue came up, the public and my fans were saying, ‘it's OK. You have been going strong without getting into any scandals. We support you,’ and this made me feel guilty in some sense,” he said.
“I don't know if I deserve such overwhelming love that fans gave me … I even thought I might not be the best fit to be a celebrity.”
He disclosed that he even paused work on his solo album.
