Actress Hong Soo-hyun and rapper Microdot have confirmed they are dating.
Some people are making jokes about them and making memes about their age difference.
An Instagram account, @besty_moon, known for memes and humorous posts, posted a photo of Microdot and Hong Soo-hyun in 2006, when Microdot was a teenager and Hong Soo-hyun wads already a celebrity.
People who are supportive say that this age objection is due to sexism and that not many people would be against the relationship had the man been 12 years older.
A rapper from the “Show Me the Money” audition, Microdot is 12 years younger than Hong. His real name is Shin Jae-ho.
An Instagram post by @besty_moon shows Microdot, left, and Hong Soo-hyun in 2006. The meme compares the rapper as a teenager to the actress, already into her mid-20s by then. When Hong debuted as a model, he was three years old.
They met through the TV show “The Fishermen and the City.”
In it, Microdot helped her with her first time at fishing.
Hong said on the show, “I have no knowledge of fishing. I've never fished before.” Microdot responded, “It will be fun even when we don't catch any fish. I'll teach you.”
Microdot is said to have commented multiple times on her Instagram posts.
On Hong's selfie, he commented “Good Night” in English with a rose emoji. Hong replied the same in Korean with a smiling emoji.
He also tagged Hong in the Ice Bucket Challenge. When she completed the challenge and put a post on Instagram, he left her three hearts.
Many now believe that Microdot's album released in March is about Hong. “With You” consists of romantic verses like “I can be your sunshine in the rain for you” and “I'll be your hot chocolate on a cold winter night.”
