In exciting news for K-pop and entertainment fans, Kim Tae-hyun, a member of the band DickPunks, is in a romantic relationship with actress Choi Yeon-soo, who is the daughter of renowned chef Choi Hyun-seok.
Following the announcement of their relationship, Kim expressed his desire to build a beautiful future together, stating they both decided to share their lives. They recently introduced each other to their parents and are aiming for a wedding next year. Despite their 12-year age difference—Kim born in 1987 and Choi in 1999—they are focused on their love story.
Kim Tae-hyun also shared his feelings with fans on the DickPunks fan café, explaining that he has found a supportive partner. He thanked his fans, expressing concern that they may be surprised by the news through articles rather than hearing it directly from him. He expressed deep gratitude, attributing his success to the team and their loyal supporters over nearly two decades.
Choi Yeon-soo has not made a formal statement about their relationship but her history as a devoted fan of DickPunks has garnered attention. In 2018, she even shared that she was recognized as the "number one fan" of the group through a music site survey and mentioned how their songs have inspired her during tough times.
Kim, who debuted in 2010 as a singer and songwriter with DickPunks, gained popularity after the group finished as runners-up in the Mnet survival program "Superstar K 4." He has since released solo work and is currently focused on new projects with DickPunks. In contrast, Choi Yeon-soo emerged early in her career by participating in modeling competitions and has expanded her acting portfolio with projects like the web drama "Don Ry Lahee."
