Singer Monica (31, real name Seo Ji-yu) has honestly revealed about her three-year relationship with Kim Hyun-seong (44).

Earlier, on the 7th, Monica and Kim Hyeon-seong each posted a picture of their lover through their Instagram and revealed their devotees. Regarding the reason for the release this time, he said, “We met quietly because we thought that the relationship is important while doing what we had to do.”
Monica and Kim Hyun-seong met in April 2019 and have been dating for nearly three years. Regarding Kim Hyun-seong’s first meeting, he said, “I happened to see Kim Hyun-seong in JTBC’s ‘Sugar Man’ in 2015. Actually, I only knew about the representative songs and didn’t know the detailed information, but I was impressed by that scene.” I felt like we were going to meet, but we didn’t meet at the time, and then we happened to meet privately by chance, so we met at that time,” he recalled.
He continued, “I had a place to meet at the end of 2018, but I was hesitant to leave, but when I did meet this person, I thought it would be sad to see that this person might not be interested at all, so I thought a lot about whether it would be right for me to go.” Still, I said that I should see it once, but I thought he was a better person than I expected, and my brother also showed a good interest on the spot, so we started by checking each other’s feelings and contacting each other carefully later.”

The two are also a couple who are 13 years older than them. Regarding this, he said, “Maybe they were worried about each other at the beginning of their relationship, and my brother was also cautious.” “But actually, my parents were 13 years old, so I saw them in person, and my father is German, so I’m open-minded in that regard.” He continued, “Actually, I didn’t have anything to worry about when we met, and I didn’t realize the age difference.”
The two, who are singers, said that they enjoyed dating while chatting about music with each other. Among them, Monica said about Kim Hyun-sung’s recent appearance on JTBC’s ‘Singer Gain 2’, “Actually, I didn’t know that my brother would apply, I thought a lot about the proposal. I saw it, but I failed in the finals, so I wanted to go out when I heard the news that this time I was doing it, but I thought it would be better for my brother to go out this time.”
He continued, “Even if he doesn’t go out in perfect condition, I thought it would be nice to get rid of his sweat through this stage, but he prepared so hard. It came out worse than I practiced, but I still think it’s good to perform like that, because I can show my further development in the future. did.
