Fans and netizens couldn't hide their happiness since the 1st of January wherein the Japanese-Korean couple was born, TWICE Momo and SUPER JUNIOR's Heechul. The two have finally confirmed to be officially dating each other after several relationship rumors were written about them.
According to the press, the two idols have been dating for years now which makes the fans look back on their past interactions, and as they looked closely, they were amazed on how some of the videos with Heechul and Momo were like giving hints about their relationship.
In 2018, on one of the behind-the-scenes of TWICE members' appearance in "Knowing Brothers," a variety show where Kim Heechul was in, Dahyun asked Momo a question, saying, "Momo unnie (older sister), if you were to pick between Kim Heechul and Min Kyung Hoon who are you going to choose?"
Momo hesitated for a second, and after a while, she answered Kim Heechul, and her reason is heartwarming. "I choose Kim Heechul since he has taken care of me and the girls since our debut.", answering it with a shy smile.
In the show as well, when the girls are asked to pick their partner, Momo chose Heechul again. When asked about her reason, she answered that if he doesn't pick Heechul, he will definitely sulk.
Meanwhile, Kim Heechul has been linked to several female idols before his debut, but he always shared that Momo was his ideal type of girlfriend. During a segment in "Knowing Brothers," he even danced to TWICE's "Cheer Up," and was praised by Momo for knowing the dance perfectly.
In addition to this, Momo is the only girl who can make Heechul's heartbeat up to over 130 BPM using her iconic aegyo, "Niko Niko Ni." In a video, Heechul was asked to imagine that he's protecting his wife and he cutely showed "Momo" a proof that he's really into the female idol.

However, even if the two idols were really comfortable with each, there are still several fans and netizens who were against their relationship. One of the reasons is their large age gap, wherein the 23-year-old Momo is 13 years younger than the 36-year-old Kim Heechul.
Some netizens even criticized Heechul for dating Momo as the male idol has already reached the marrying age and has attained enough success already while Momo is only starting to enjoy her career. That's why netizens are also worried about the impact of their relationship to Momo's career.
Nevertheless, despite the haters and bashers, supportive fans are present and have been protecting the couple dearly. REAL TWICE fans and SUPER JUNIOR fans have been cheering the couple and giving them the privacy they deserve.
