The singer had posted the compliment along with a candid picture that he had taken alongside Lim Yoona on his personal Twitter page yesterday.

"Lim Yoona has a great balance of good personality and good looks -- her face looks much prettier without make-up and powder", the pop idol wrote.

He also hinted at his close friendship with her, saying that "we affectionately tease each other whenever we meet -- I call her grandma and she calls me old man. But she is the prettiest female celebrity that I have seen".

In the photo, the young pop stars looked goofy and friendly, striking an identical pose -- their index finger touching their lips.

Hundreds of fans have responded to the pic, making various comments such as "I'm so jealous", "you broke my heart" and "both look cute".
