Due to the secretive nature of celebrity dating, it can be challenging to keep track of all the hookups, flings, and breakups.
Hee-chul's Ideal Type and Celebrity Crushes
Kim Hee-chul has admitted to being a big fan of former Wonder Girls member Ahn So Hee. In an episode of JTBC's "Ask Us Anything," the "Train to Busan" actress playfully teased Hee-chul about also liking Momo of TWICE, Legendary Witches actress Ha Yeon Soo, and Korean singer and actress Hara.

The Super Junior sub-rapper fondly referred to So Hee as "Mandu So Hee," a nickname she earned due to her cute, dumpling-like cheeks.

Although Super Junior Hee-Chul's remarks on wedding a Chinese restaurateur's daughter were said humorously, fans are curious if there's a deeper truth behind them. Considering his mother's desire for him to discover love quickly and his confession of making marriage preparations, it appears that a fresh development in Hee-Chul's romantic journey may be just around the corner.
