Kim Heechul and his narrative story
Singer Kim Heechul revealed that he was traveling with South Korean comedian-singer, Kim Young Chul when he mentioned the largest age gap between him and his girlfriend.
They were on their way to meet Kim Young’s mother. Kim Young’s elder sister and singer Lee Sang Min was also with them.
Musician Kim Heechul started a conversation and suggested that they should ask Kim Heechul’s mother about her thoughts on her daughter dating Lee Sang Min.
He did not stop at this and continued with his teasing saying:
“What if your mother prefers me? I would have to call her mom-in-law.”
Kim Heechul and his confession
At this particular point, Kim Heechul suddenly turned the topic and mentioned that the oldest girlfriend he had a relationship with was 13 years elder to him.
He said:
“But way back then, I once dated someone who was 13 years older than me.”
He recalled this now since Kim Young’s sister is also very much senior to Kim Heechul. Therefore, Kim Young shot back laughingly:
“Then you can break that record with someone who’s 14 years older than you.”
He was referring to his own elder sister and everyone in the car burst out laughing, Kim Heechul said.

Kim Heechul’s take on relationship and breakups
In 2017, he had said:
“I never tried once for the rest of my life because I’m not the type of holding back a relationship when the girl initiated to break up. If she wants to break up, I will just follow her decision since there’s nothing can be done about it. Bye.”
“It will be tiring if we holding up for the relationship and being dramatic by the whole process to keep up with a person.”
He has a bit of playboy and bad boy image. In March 2018, he said:
“I have dated enough that I would make sure I do not fall behind the others.”
But he added that the number was in single digit!
