Some time after dating rumors between Super Junior's Heechul and TWICE's Momo sparked on the web, Label SJ released a curt, official statement of denial.
The label relayed on August 6, "Super Junior's Heechul and TWICE's Momo are simply ordinary, close sunbae-hoobaes, and the dating rumors are false."
Back in 2016, Momo appeared as the female lead in Heechul and Min Kyung Hoon's "Sweet Dream" MV. Afterward, Heechul was often seen sharing friendly selcas with Momo via his SNS when the two stars appeared on the same variety programs.
I need a break from the k-pop community, which I’ve been a part of (and it’s been a part of me) since 2011. The amount of vitriol I witnessed in the past hour while waiting for the confirmation was just too much for me. So many people calling Heechul “gross” and saying mean things about Momo and Heechul because of their age gap (friendly reminder: they’re both adults who work very hard for their careers and are both incredibly good-looking).
I started thinking. I’m in my mid 20s now and not getting any younger. I’m happy with my life and my looks but in a few years, am I too going to be gross in the eyes of so many people?
I think I need to move on from the k-pop community. It’s not good for my mental health anymore.
