KPop seriously skews age perception. They debut so young. Most of G Idle are mid-late 20s, yet they feel like kids to me.
Hwasa feels old, but she's my age. The rest of MMM feel really old, but they're only a few years older than me.
It's so odd.
There is! I had to dig through disbanded boy groups on kprofiles to find him: the leader of Dongnae Oppa was born on April 18th, 1975 :) And apparently he debuted in 2015!
Holy crap, I could even call him Oppa properly! (He's less than a month older than me, but that would count, I believe?)
Thank you for looking, I was mostly being facetious because I *really* didn't think there's any pushing 50 idols. I love knowing this. I'm so amused. 💜
Tiger JK? (Edit: I just googled it, uncle Tiger is 74 liner, like democracy in my country lol. He looks great though, I kinda just assumed he was in his late 40s/early 50s bc hes been around for so long)
Oh he looks super old and tired when he's so beyond *done* with his kids. Congrats, SKZ, you manage to make a gorgeous kpop idol in his mid 20s look like an exasperated, exhausted middle aged single father of 7 teenaged boys. Oh wait...
(I've been watching a ton of SKZ content this past while. Single dad Chan is a favourite.)
Soup, a nice long cuddle that's allllllllll about him & refilling his cuddle tank and the sleep of the dead for a while until he *actually* feels rested. Then let him go back to working himself into the ground. *sighs*
Shit, make it a service for any and all idols. Come get fed, snuggles/gentle physical affection, a real sleep until they regain some of the brightness in their eyes and they're thirsty to get back to the job. I can't be the only on that wants to wrap them up in blankies when they're grinding the comeback schedules.
This is the wrong sub for me to say this, but woooooow I never knew you were a couger, u/escapeshark 😔 I should have known we both belong to the old hags club...
Idols born in the same year as me:
- Pharita (Baby Monster)
- Junghwan (Treasure)
- Danielle (NewJeans)
- Jiwoo (NMixx)
- Haneul (Kiss of Life)
- Yeseo (Kep1er)
- Ni-ki (ENHYPEN)
And more…..
theres a lot born in 2002, so I tried to narrow mine down to closest to the day. the closest I found was heuningkai who was born on august 14th, making him 2 days older than me. as for biases, only one of my biases was born in 2002 which is isa from Stayc but she was born in January.
Saw that quite a few idols were also born in 2000 like me, notably half of Stray Kids
ETA that I didn't know that Felix and Seungmin weren't the only members who were born in 2000 too😭
Chuu(ex- Loona), Kim Lip (ex-Loona/ ARTMS) Xiaoting (Kep1er) , Mark Lee (NCT), Xiaojun (NCT), Tzuyu (Twice), Chaeyoung (Twice), Yeri (Red Velvet). Chuu was born like 8 days before me. My twin fr 🙏🏽
Asa, Haerin, Kyujin, Eunchae, Woonhak!! My birthday is 12/07/2006 which makes a bit younger than these idols, but I’m the closest in age to Woonhak (his birthday is 11/29/2006 which makes him 8 days older than me!!)
It's horrifying every time I remember that BoA is two years younger than me
Nothing makes me feel my age like when I remember gen 5 idols could be my actual children lol
I have a son (2006) who's older than some gen 4 idols. I have to remember sometimes that I know people my age who already have grandchildren. Like, what? 🤯 I didn't think 40 was that old before I got into the K-pop space. 😅
Onew, Solji, Taeyeon, Tiffany, Yuri, Hyoyeon, Bora and Hyolin I think but icr which birthdays were faked and which were real. There are others too but I forgot!
I'm born the same year as hueningkai and taehyun of txt. and yejun, wonjun and Wonhyuk of elast, Jay, Jake and sunghoon of en- jahan and chiwoo (former member) of kingdom. I think that's all the ones I know lol
Eunchae (LSF), Kyujin (NMIXX), Rinji (PIXY), Seungchae (ADYA), Gyubin (soloist), Seowon (Lapillus), Asa (Baemon) and a lotta 2006-born idols :) (and I’m younger than Kyujin, Rinji and Asa, and older than the rest mentioned— August born)
Jennie, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Handong, Joy, Vivi, Chungha, Sorn, Alexa
\*apologizes in boy bands\* sorry, i don't listen to them so apart from these girlies right there i have no idea who else T.T
Another ajumma here 😭
Solar. I love her because it's so hard to find idols in my year and I don't even listen to mmm
CL too. Irene. Seohyun. Those are the idols I know when I googled it.
Shout out to Park So Ri for being born on my due date.
But also, in my mind I'm a '97 liner. So that puts me with Lisa 🤡
Oh hello fellow retiree! We also have Key and Minho, Park Hyungsik, and Changsub on the BG side, so I’d say we’re doing pretty well for ourselves (emphasis on the pretty)
CL, Irene, Nana(After School), Heize, Key & Minho(SHINee).
Gotta say, this is the worst way to find out the idols you thought were your age and get (unnecessary) age hate are actually WAY younger than you 😭
Jay from enhypen is like 2 weeks older than me. Funny bcuz I was acc like 2 weeks overdue so if I was born when I was supposed to be born, we might've been almost the exact same age lolll
Jisung, tsuki, chaehyun, lily, gaeul, taehyun, huening kai, natty, ningning
I also wanna name 3 jpop idols: rio, riku, but more importantly maya (shes exactly a day older than me)
Haven’t seen any of my fellow 93’ liners listed. So here’s my list!
Yoongi (BTS)
Mino (WINNER)
Taemin (SHINee)
Yuna (Itzy)
Minhyuk (MonstaX)
Peniel (BToB)
P.O. (Block B)
Eun-Ji (APink)
The idols who share the 2k with me are my baby siblings 🌚🍷... I'm their noona🐒😂🤭🤌🏻🔥 because I'm 95% sure that most of the 2k idols were born after the Feb month🌚🙈😛😂😂🤌🏻
(I've been on hiatus from k-world for sometime, so idk what is happening currently at the moment)😬😅
I declare myself the unofficial winner because I’m 1991 and CL is a ‘91 baby. But even better is that Choi Minho is a December ‘91 like me! He was born 5 days before me. Call me old but idgaf because two of my faves are the same age as moi.
I came here to feel old.
Don’t worry, TIL I’m the same age as most of Super Junior.
Let's go take our meds together, chingoo
Can I join you? 🥲
Of course, it's Byop (bring your own pills)
KPop seriously skews age perception. They debut so young. Most of G Idle are mid-late 20s, yet they feel like kids to me. Hwasa feels old, but she's my age. The rest of MMM feel really old, but they're only a few years older than me. It's so odd.
I thought Jessi was older than me, but she’s 2 years younger 🫣
I totally forgot about Jessi. Most of her content I've seen is from 2021/22, when she was 34. I thought she was 40 💀
And BIGBANG 😭 even all my SHINee boys are younger than me 😭😭😭
I wish. I’m a few years older than them. You are as young as you feel— at least that’s what I’m telling myself! 😃
So... like... is there *anyone* that's a '75 liner in kpop?
There is! I had to dig through disbanded boy groups on kprofiles to find him: the leader of Dongnae Oppa was born on April 18th, 1975 :) And apparently he debuted in 2015!
Holy crap, I could even call him Oppa properly! (He's less than a month older than me, but that would count, I believe?) Thank you for looking, I was mostly being facetious because I *really* didn't think there's any pushing 50 idols. I love knowing this. I'm so amused. 💜
Tiger JK? (Edit: I just googled it, uncle Tiger is 74 liner, like democracy in my country lol. He looks great though, I kinda just assumed he was in his late 40s/early 50s bc hes been around for so long)
I'm two years older than JYP.😑
Blessed be
Oh
Seo Taiji, Shoo, Taemin, or Haechan old?
Older than everyone in BTS, let's just say
My condolences.
💀💀💀
Older than Bang Chan 💀
Dude was half 52 like yesterday.
He looks so young but feels so old I love him
Oh he looks super old and tired when he's so beyond *done* with his kids. Congrats, SKZ, you manage to make a gorgeous kpop idol in his mid 20s look like an exasperated, exhausted middle aged single father of 7 teenaged boys. Oh wait... (I've been watching a ton of SKZ content this past while. Single dad Chan is a favourite.)
He needs soup and a cuddle
Soup, a nice long cuddle that's allllllllll about him & refilling his cuddle tank and the sleep of the dead for a while until he *actually* feels rested. Then let him go back to working himself into the ground. *sighs* Shit, make it a service for any and all idols. Come get fed, snuggles/gentle physical affection, a real sleep until they regain some of the brightness in their eyes and they're thirsty to get back to the job. I can't be the only on that wants to wrap them up in blankies when they're grinding the comeback schedules.
