[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] The story of a couple overcoming a 37-year age gap and continuing their love has become a hot topic.

According to foreign media on the 11th (local time), Kuran (23), who lives in the United States, actively communicates with netizens by posting videos of him and his girlfriend Cheryl (60) dancing together on TikTok.

In particular, a recent video in which the two answered "yes" together to the question "Did your families allow you to date?" recorded 3.7 million views. In the video, Kuran said that Cheryl's children, who are older than him, are also satisfied with their relationship.

However, some netizens doubted their love, calling it a "showy relationship." They criticized the large age gap between the two, saying things like "disgusting" and "repulsive." One netizen speculated that "the woman is rich, so the man is dating her."

In response, Kuran emphasized, "People who dislike us are disgusted and criticize my girlfriend's wrinkled face, but for me, there is only Cheryl."

Cheryl also revealed that she suffers from an eating disorder and responded to malicious commenters. In a recent Instagram live broadcast, Cheryl said, "Don't judge by appearances," adding, "Appearance is just something given; the most important thing is our hearts." She continued, saying she did nothing wrong and "I won't let the haters win."

Netizens supporting their relationship left encouraging messages such as "There are people who can't stand seeing others happy," "I hope only good things happen," and "Lovely couple."
