Kim Jun-hee, a former K-pop star who runs a popular online shopping mall, is in love with a bodybuilder 16 years her junior.

Kim, 42, declared her love with Lee Dae-woo, 26, on Instagram, Monday. This is the first time she has revealed she had a boyfriend since her divorce in 2008.

But she wrote,“There is no talk about marriage yet.”

She called her boyfriend “my piggy."

“My piggy has won two contests in a row,” Kim wrote. “Thank you for keeping your promise to bring home the trophy and medal.”

Lee, an up-and-coming bodybuilder, has won several bodybuilding contests, including the FitnessStar Sports Model Rookie Short and Nabba Korea Sports Model Short Classic.
