As the saying goes, age is just a number, especially in the Hallyu world as several Kdrama stars like 2PM's Chansung, Jung Ho Yeon and Lee Dong Hwi proved that true love exists despite having a May - December affair.
Although some failed to make things work out, these celebrity couples stood the test of time and showed that age differences don't matter when it comes to true love.
2PM Chansung and Non-Celebrity Girlfriend
Hwang Chan Sung, also known as 2PM's Chansung, made headlines after a media outlet exclusively revealed that his soon-to-be-wife is eight years his senior.
The singer-actor, who is about to turn 32 on February 11, is set to marry his 40-year-old fiancee, whom he has been dating for five years.
Meanwhile, his agency refused to give further details as his contract with JYP Entertainment "recently came to an end."
"Please understand that the inquiry regarding the artist is personal and thus, is difficult to confirm," the agency said.
To recall, the "So I Married an Anti-Fan" actor released a statement in December 2020 revealing his engagement and the surprising news that he is going to be a father.
"After completing my military service, I was preparing to marry this person, and during this time, the blessing of a new life came to us earlier than expected. We are planning to hold our wedding ceremony around early next year," he mentioned in a handwritten letter posted on 2PM's Chansung's Instagram.
Ryu Jun Yeol and Girls' Day's Hyeri
The mega-hit Kdrama "Reply 1988" became the special connection of Jung Ho Yeon and Lee Dong Hwi after they appeared as one of the lead stars.
Surprisingly their Kdrama love team came into reality after rumors sparked that they were dating.
