The photo uploaded by Lee via Instagram on Monday showed the two same-age singers posing with their cheeks adorned with stickers, a special effect from a mobile app.

“Two old guys pretending to be cute. I know, we look cheesy. Sorry for that,” Lee captioned the photo.

Choi’s label FNC Entertainment recently confirmed that Choi and Son are officially dating, following a tabloid’s release of photos that featured the two linking arms while walking with a bundle of gifts, flowers and a cake on May 27, the day before Son’s birthday. Son was also seen accompanying Choi on a walk in Tokyo, a day before an F.T. Island concert there earlier this month. Son ended her 17-year gymnastics career in March.

F.T. Island released its 10th-anniversary album “Over 10 Years” on June 7.
