Whenever anyone hears of anybody dating someone significantly younger or older than that person, the reactions are always the same-lots of gasping, wide eyes, and  big open mouths. But who cares about age differences, when love enters the picture. Love is known to do some crazy things, and just because someone is older or younger than you, it should never stand in the way of two people becoming one. Here are a few K-pop idols who have proven that when it comes to falling in love, age ain't nothing but a number. 

H.O.T's Tony An surely rocked fans when rumors of a new girlfriend began floating around the K-pop neighborhood. But no fan was ready for the news that followed up next-Tony was dating a fellow idol, 16 years his junior. The girlfriend was rookie girl group, Girl's Day's own Hyeri and the two started dating only a short time ago. An, 34, and Hyeri, 18, officially announced their relationship through their agencies and the reactions from netizens have been quite negative. Most were appalled at the age difference, and couldn't seem to shake off An's new image as a cradle robber out of their heads. Despite the negative commentary, the two seem to be going strong, which just goes to show that love can surely conquer all. 

Sexy singer Baek Ji Young recently confirmed that she and her man, actor Jung Suk Won, will be getting wed in June, with a baby on its way in the fall. The two made headlines when they first announced their relationship back in June of 2011 for their 9-year age difference. Baek, 37, and Jung, 27, have been very open about their relationship to the public and have won the hearts of many. In a candid interview with MBC's "Section TV Entertainment News," the actor had this to say about his upcoming wedding nuptials with his gorgeous soon-to-be-wife:

After I have arguments with Baek Ji Young, I miss her even more. She's precious and very necessary in my life. But I didn't think she'd be 'The One' in my life when I first saw her," said Jung Suk Won. 

Iconic singer, Seo Tae Ji, 41, sent shockwaves across Korea when he announced that he will be marrying actress Lee Eun Sung, 24. The news comes two years after he revealed that he had been secretly married to actress Lee Ji Ah for more than 10 years. Though the two are now divorced, and the actress is currently filing a lawsuit against him, the singer seems to be quite preoccupied with this new lady love to care about the impending lawsuit. Regarding the new proposal, Seo Tae Ji wrote this on his website:

"I found a soul mate who I've been waiting for for so long. And now I am going to get married to my loving mate."
