We're kicking off 2020 with good news! The agencies of Super Junior member Kim Heechul, 36, and TWICE member Momo, 23, confirmed that the pair have started dating, after both SJ Label and JYP Entertainment denied rumours back in August 2019.
The couple have known each other since at least 2016, when TWICE guest-starred on the variety show Knowing Brothers together, of which Heechul is a main cast member, and had been battling dating rumours ever since. They started out as close friends with a "senior-junior" relationship (thanks to their 13-year age gap), ever since Momo was invited to star in Heechul's music video, "Sweet Dream" (2016).
It's the SJ member's first public relationship since his debut in 2005, although he had been linked to a number of Korean stars like actress Park Eun-Hye (or Ivy) and SNSD's Kim Taeyeon.
On March 16 2019, the Korean-Japanese singer and television personality announced that he was dating Korean speed skater Sang Hwa. They got to know each other on the set of SBS variety show "Law of the Jungle in Last Indian Ocean", where they eventually started going out, confirms his agency.
The couple got married on October 12, 2019 in front of friends, family and acquaintences from both the sports and entertainment fields.
MBLAQ's G.O confirmed in an Instagram post in 2018 that he and actress Choi Ye Seul had started dating. The touching caption revealed that G.O has found it incredibly difficult to find someone who accepted him for who he was in the Korean entertainment industry but, after about 10 years in the industry, he's managed to find love in Ye Seul. In January 2019, the pair announced that they've decided to move in to live together, after seeking permission from their parents.
[UPDATE] On September 28, the couple officially tied the knot in a small, private ceremony for around 70 of their closest friends and family. Congrats!

When news leaked in August 2018 that the couple, who were both in the same band Triple H, were dating, it caused a media frenzy. Although their agency Cube Entertainment denied it at first, the pair revealed that they've been dating for two years, since May 2016.
The former Wonder Girls and 4Minute member shared that she and the Pentagon member met when he was a trainee, and that their relationship blossomed as they worked together professionally.
Cube Entertainment announced they would kick the couple from the label, before retracting their statement the next day after huge backlash from fans. They ended their contracts with their label that same year, and joined Psy's new label, P Nation, in 2019.
The couple regularly share lovey-dovey snapshots on social media, something that's a bit of an anomaly in the K-pop world.
