Shinhwa's Dongwan's ideal type is f(x)'s Sulli?

Shinhwa's Dongwan hinted that he wouldn't mind being the next veteran idol to date a much younger woman.

On the June 3rd installment of tvN's 'Taxi', Jun Hyun Moo brought up that he'd heard f(x)'s Sulli is Dongwan's ideal type. The Shinhwa member cleared up the rumor, replying, "Rather than having a thing for Sulli, I think Sulli's image is really cute."

MC Kim Gu Ra added, "You and Sulli can become a couple. Tony An is dating Girl's Day's Hyeri. Seo Taiji and Lee Eun Sung also got together. People are [calling them] 'Seo Taiji and the Cradle Robbers'," cracking up the boys with his blunt wit. 

Dongwan revealed the reason that he tends to date younger women, sharing, "I was also taking about this with my friends recently, and when I was well into my promotions, there were a lot of opportunities for me to meet women 2-3 years younger. But now most of those friends are either getting married or not going out as much as they used to, so whenever I go to the bar, I frequently meet women who are 8-10 years younger."

"I want to get married soon. I think I should date her for over one year before getting married. Because we don't live a normal lifestyle, I have to feel confident that my partner really loves and understands me."

Could you picture Dongwan and Sulli together?
