Heechul reveals detail on past relationships, fans of TWICE's Momo are upset

In 2021, Heechul was conscripted to be one of the hosts on the panel for "Falling for Korea - International Couples." The show's premise is to speak to guest couples, who are from different national backgrounds, living in South Korea.

The aim is to gain insight into their experiences of being "transnational couples," how people receive them, how they adjust to each other, and so on.

The drama began to stir on social media when a preview clip for the show's ninth episode was aired. A guest on the show revealed she was upset with her husband for his obsession with gaming all day. The focus of the episode, supposedly, is "gaming" with relation to these international couples.

In the clip, Heechul mentioned he had broken up with one of his ex-girlfriends due to his passion for gaming.

Heechul and TWICE's Momo had been publicly dating since January 2020 and announced their breakup earlier this month. Due to the timing, many fans assumed that Heechul was referring to Momo when he made that comment.

This rubbed many the wrong way, and tweets regarding the situation began to flood in.

heechul is an asshole and fuck him btw
