[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Kim Hee-chul indirectly mentioned the fact that he is dating Momo.


On the 9th, SBS's 'My Ugly Duckling' ('Miwoosae') aired an episode featuring Kim Hee-chul and his middle school classmate, Geon-hee.


Visiting Geon-hee's house, who is a hair expert, Kim Hee-chul said, "I used to have hair loss on the crown," and received a scalp massage with onion juice.


After the scalp massage, Geon-hee, who was also giving a massage, asked, "Isn't this something couples are supposed to do?"


In response, Kim Hee-chul said, "In the past, if people saw us like this, they would have misunderstood and asked what kind of relationship you and I have."


He then joked, "But now, no one will misunderstand." This is interpreted as an indirect indication that he is currently dating TWICE's Momo.



Kim Hee-chul and Momo confirmed their relationship on January 2nd. On that day, Kim Hee-chul's agency SJ Label and TWICE's Momo's agency JYP Entertainment stated, "Recently, the two have developed feelings for each other and started dating."
