its sometimes shocking to know that some celebrities have the same age when one looks much older or seems to be more mature
for example i thought that se7en would be older than super junior members eeteuk and heechul because they look and act younger
but they are actually a year older than se7en, i was a bit shocked. is it just me or is anyone else a bit surprised? im not saying that
heechul and eeteuk are immature but i think se7en seems to act older and more mature. does anyone else know any other
celebrities who seem to be older than others but are younger and have surprising age differences?

can you believe that missra jin from epik high and heechul are both 1983?

yah, sometimes looks can be decieving.
i always thought park kyung lim looked much more mature than chae yeon, but they're the same age!

[mashimaro_is_luff]

i think it's more of the image they portraying...
changmin from dbsk is the same age NOW as when
the other members were first debut..
but compare the other members at 19 and
him as 19..
so it's more of the image...
they can look younger or older by
the way they act, and the way their company
dress them.

yeh certain singers have to give out a certain look to the public..
cos of their targeted audience..
and yeh..i still cant get over the fact that kim jong min from koyote is still pretty young..
i mean he acts immature and all..but i expected him to be older...

[n_vang]

yeah its definitely the image they're portraying base upon their fan base because if you look at se7en (1984), tei (1983), and rain (1982) and compare them to heechul, eeteuk, ryan (all 1983er's) and other boyband idols, the demographic of their fan bases are mostly either older fans or fans ranges in age whereas the majority of boyband's fan base comprises of teens. thus, the type of fanservice is different, in this example, you see the fanservice from se7en and rain is often more sensual whereas from these boybands its more acting/performing cute.

also, i think this maturity/age difference issue is only really apparent in male celebs than female celebs because you don't see female celebs acting overtly cute on shows as much because imo, fear of attracting antis. i think korean neitzens are more tolerant of their male celebs and their actions and when male celebs often act cute, neitzens often see it as cute whereas if a female celeb was to often act cute in their appearances on shows neitzens would automatically be like, "oh she's trying to hard" or "she's so fake" (and its not just being cute, but also sexy, shy, etc). i think this is why we see more male celebs getting away with acting overtly cute in variety shows/performances than females because the industry or rather fans often have this double standard against females celeb than male celebs.

as a fan, it honestly gets annoying for me at times to see them acting cute over and over again in varity shows but i know its to please the majority of their fanbase.

[khmer_chick2010]

haha korean singers always surprise me when i find out their ages.
asians never seem to grow up.

[Misa Misa]

It is true though.
I always though that Jaejoong-oppa from DBSK was actually the younger than Yuhno and Micky, but as it turns out, he was the eldest.
Scared the crap out of me.

(I'm so lonely, spare some company?)

[hyeminnie]

oh, i read in a BoA pic thread that she and Park Seul Ki are the same age... which kinda shocked me.

[StylishAzNx07]

I think its just the way they present themselves.
Super Junior members fool around alot and act immature, which make them look younger;;
Se7en is a jokester but knows when to be mature, which doesn't make him look so young;;
even though he is young.

Even though I find it cute how they act immature and all sometimes, it gets on my nerves too..
Its fun to watch sometimes, but sometimes I wish they were more mature too.
But who knows, maybe in real life they would be.
It might just be the tv image they are portraying?

[nalya]

O_O i never thought Mithra Jin and Heechul are actually same age
Im a Epik High fan but i dont always rmb their DOBs and such but when you mention it, omg
i thought Mithra is like more than 25 years old O.o
anyways, i have always liked Tablo, but in Fan perfs Mithra rocks the stage XD

[JF21©]

rain(1982) and se7en(1984) surprised me...i would've thought they were older..lol but their actually my age! hehe i'm in the middle (1983)...weird..they act sooo much mature than me (sometimes)

i guess it has to do with their jobs, and workload...it seems the celebs who are really busy/popular are the ones who are more ''mature'' and the ones who are just popular and not as busy promoting are more on the ''immature'' side...iono how to explain it..lol

[motoway065]

yea..like yuri of cool and girlfriends. she does not look 30something and she is O.O
shes acted soo young with ahyoomi on love letter

[BishieAddict]

Just look at wonder girls. lol except for one, they all look older than me.. it's their attitude/appearance.

[MzLauraa]

I was surprised when I read Brian from FTTS was older than hwanhee T________T I guess it was the way he acted that made me think he was younger.

[she-smiles]

lol.
my heechul DOES look younger, possibly b/c of his kiddish personality. heehee.
& i was surprised when i found out that andy from shinhwa was the youngest.
i thought it'd be minwoo. =)

[kiki]

Something about these asian guys. O___O some of them look so young while some look older.

[xXsmilesXx]

lol...i know i felt the same way....like wow when i found out that Jae Joong was the oldest...and also i thought Seung Ri from Big Bang was like in his 2O's...until i found out that he was only 16... ...well all the members of Big Bang i thought were in their early 20's but no the oldest "T.O.P" is only 19 and the rest are 18 & 17....WOW....they seem so mature.......

[happyshirt]

yah, sometimes looks can be decieving.
i always thought park kyung lim looked much more mature than chae yeon, but they're the same age!

WOW!!!! They're the same age!!!! i've always though Park Khung Lim was much much older.

[ohchells]

It's the image really. A while ago I was so shocked that BoA was 19 back then o.o
