Kissing Scene Between Two Actors With A 19-Year Age Gap Sparks Strong Reactions

A drama’s steamy kissing scene has sparked fierce reactions on Korean forums.

The drama in question is Sniper Butterfly, a Chinese production starring Michelle Chen and Zhou Keyu.

A recently aired episode of the drama featured a passionate kissing scene between the leads. The scene unexpectedly went viral in Korea after netizens discovered that the age gap between the two lead actors was 19 years. While Michelle Chen is a 1983-liner, the male lead, Zhou Keyu, was born in 2002.

Netizens were left shocked by the age reveal, with some even arguing that Michelle Chen didn’t appear to be in her 40s.

• “…”
• “I can only see the male lead’s profile is visible, and the editing is so severe that she doesn’t even look like an 83-liner. But a 19-year age gap is a lot.”

• “But it doesn’t look like that at all! Whoa, the age difference…”
• “Whoa, she’s basically his mother…”
• “Michelle Chen is over 40 now…When did that happen?”
