Men who date or marry a young woman with a large age gap have been called ‘thieves’. Rather than booing mixed with criticism, it is a meaningless metaphor for overcoming generational differences and having a heart.

The entertainment industry has been quiet regarding marriage news due to the corona crisis that has been going on for over two years. As the situation improved, the pink news came out. Along with this, the ‘Age of Thieves’ has come once more. Who is the couple whose front seat is a different age and the sound of ‘huh’ comes out naturally?

Singer Bobby Kim married a non-celebrity last month. Born in 1973, Bobby Kim’s wife, who became a ‘late groom’ at the age of 50 this year, is 15 years younger than a non-celebrity. The two met as singers and concert organizers two years ago and became a couple.

Bobby Kim revealed on SBS ‘My Little Old Boy’, which was broadcast on the 10th, that “I am 15 years older than my wife. I was born in 1987.” Bobby Kim wondered, “Why am I a thief?” After hearing the explanation, “In Korea, if there is a large age difference, you are called a thief, but it means ‘lucky'”, he said, “I am 10 years older than my father-in-law.”

Another newlywed group, Shinhwa’s Andy, who got married last month, and Lee Eun-ju, a former announcer, are also nine years apart. Eunjoo Lee was born in 1990 and is 33 years old this year, and Andy is 42 years old, nine years older than him. The two decided to appear on SBS ‘Same Bed, Dream 2’ together with their marriage and are spending their honeymoon with viewers.

Lim Chang-jung and Seo Ha-yan, who are appearing in ‘Same Bed, Different Dreams 2’, have an 18-year age difference. Their marriage became an issue at the same time as the announcement, because Lim Chang-jung was a divorced man with three sons and announced the remarriage with Seo Ha-yan through a premarital pregnancy. After Seo Baek-eun married Lim Chang-jung, she had two sons, and while working hard to help her, she recently appeared on a TV show and she became an influencer.

Singer and musical actor Lee Ji-hoon and Japanese Ayane are also a 14-year-old couple. The two also drew attention while appearing in ‘Same Bed, Different Dreams 2’. Since then, while appearing in other broadcasts, he revealed the daily life of a large family with one roof, and became a hot topic with his longing for a second generation.

Hani (real name Ahn Hee-yeon), a former member of the group EXID, also admitted that she was in a relationship with Yang Jae-woong, a psychiatrist 10 years older than her. Yang Jae-woong was born in 1982 and is 41 years old this year, and Hani is 31 years old because he was born in 1992. The two have been cultivating love for the past two years, and since the beginning of this year, the situation that they have been doing ‘Love Stargram’ has been caught and drew attention.

Actor Gong Hyo-jin and singer Kevin Oh are also a couple who are 10 years younger than them. Gong Hyo-jin was born in 1980 and Kevin Oh was born in 1990. There were even rumors of marriage because Gong Hyo-jin admitted her devotees the day following receiving her bouquet at the wedding of actors Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin. Kevin Oh also said, “I’ve met a wonderful person and I’m in a pretty relationship.”

Han Ye-seul is also in a public relationship with her boyfriend Ryu Seong-jae, who is 10 years younger than him. Han Ye-seul, who revealed that she was in a relationship last year, announced that her nickname was ‘doggie’, and she responded directly to various rumors, showing her strong love. She has emerged as a new issue maker by revealing her current cohabitation without hiding her through SNS and her YouTube channel.

There are more couples going back in time who have overcome many age differences. Actress Lee Young-ae married a businessman, Jeong Ho-young, 20 years older than her, and they have twin children. Actor Byun Woo-min also married 19 years younger than her, and actor Lee Han-wi also married 19-year-old Choi Hye-kyung. In particular, the couple Lee Han-wi and Choi Hye-kyung became a hot topic with her reverse love story, in which her wife confessed first. Lee Han-wi once said, “It’s too much to be a thief. I’m a great master,” and gave a big laugh.

Singer Mina and Philip Ryu are 17 years apart. Mina waited until the army of Philip Ryu, and when she finally got married, she became a representative (female) younger couple. Born in 1972, Mina is 51 years old and Philip Ryu is 34 years old. Actor So Yu-jin also got married over the 15-year age gap. So Yoo-jin’s parents also had a 30-year age gap, so they didn’t have any other thoughts regarding her older husband.

Singer Seo Tai-ji and actress Lee Eun-seong also overcame the 16-year age gap. In particular, Seo Taiji gave a big shock to her world when the news of her divorce from actress Lee Ji-ah came on. After her secret marriage and divorce were sorted out, her marriage to Eun-seong Lee was announced, which is considered one of the shocking news for her in the entertainment world.

Marriages in their 20s and 40s, marriages in their 30s and 50s. Or the 30’s and 40’s may seem fine on the outside, but looking at the numbers, it’s a surprising difference. The reason why there are so many couples with a large age gap in the entertainment industry is probably because celebrities get married late, but they are showing how well they live.

Although you can feel the age difference in appearance, there is no difference as much as the love-filled eyes and the happy couple. Thanks to this, the number of viewers who are curious regarding them has increased, and the enjoyment has also doubled as they have shown various aspects of them through various entertainment programs.
