Super Junior’s Sungmin shares his stance on dating

Super Junior’s Sungmin was a guest on the December 16th episode of KBS 2TV’s “Happy Together”, where he discussed his stance on dating.
When asked about his dating experience, Sungmin answered, “I haven’t had a girlfriend before…” But his ambiguous statement stirred the curious MCs to chirp, “That’s not a clear-cut answer!” Sungmin continued, “Idols shouldn’t publicly go out with their significant others. I watch movies, eat meals, and date if time allows, but officially going out is a big no-no.”
The MCs couldn’t contain their bewilderment as they voiced, “You may want to exchange sweet text messages with the girlfriend, but no going out? That doesn’t make any sense.” Sungmin expressed, “I always talk to the other person in a formal manner since we are not going out. We exchange messages about food, the weather, etc.”
Considering the big blowup over SHINee Jonghyun’s outed relationship with actress Shin Se Kyung, do you think that Sungmin’s approach is more sensible for a star? Tell us your thoughts below!
