Kim Soo Hyun Follows In Tony Ahn's Footsteps? 'I'll Get Married At 41 To A 21 Year Old Girl'

Actor Kim Soo Hyun surprised everyone at the premiere of his new movie Secretly, Greatly on April 30 when he made a rather shocking comment about his future plans.

When a reporter asked the young actor about his plans for marriage, no one expected what happened next.

Kim Soo Hyun replied rather matter-of-factly, "When I was 24 years old and I was planning out how I was going to live my life, I originally planned to get married between 36 and 37 years old, but I don't think I can keep that promise to myself anymore." He continued to say, "As of now, I think I'll get married at around 41. I'll get married at 41 to a 21 year old girl."

While is is unclear how serious the Moon Embracing the Sun star was when he made such an explosive comment, it certainly caused a lot of commotion raising eyebrows and stirring up comparisons between him and veteran K-Pop idol Tony Ahn.

The former H.O.T member's relationship with Girl's Day singer Hyeri, who is 16 years his junior, has been a popular topic of conversation since the news broke earlier this month.

Representatives for both celebrities have expressed support for the relationship, and while the age gap has caused a lot of fans to react negatively, the couple seems to be handling the situation well.

Response to Kim Soo Hyun's remarks, however, have not been received well at all. Netizens, as usual, jumped on the comment boards almost immediately to express their feelings.

"What's wrong with him? Did he lose his brain for a second?" remarked one internet user to a TV Daily article about Kim Soo Hyun's remark.

Another comment on the same article said, "Why isn't he using his head? Does he not know what's going on these days with Go Young Wook and Tony Ahn? He should know that saying things like this isn't good for his image, even if it's just a joke."

Other netizens merely found the comment hilarious and assumed Kim Soo Hyun was poking fun at Tony Ahn's newly revealed relationship. Things like "Tony Ahn likes this article" and "Tony Ahn, are you watching?" are just as common across the internet as remarks of disgust.

Whether or not Kim Soo Hyun was joking does not really matter at this point, his comment shot him and his new movie into the spotlight, and, perhaps, that was just the point.
