Everyone knows that Asians don’t raisin cause they, especially Korean women, often
look younger than their actual age.
So, when putting Kpop idols next to international stars, the difference in appearance is even
more obvious.
Irene – Cardi B The first shocking duo must be Irene and Cardi
B. Interestingly, very few people know that the leader of Red Velvet is 1-year older than
the US star.
Born in 1991, Irene has just turned 30 and has always been on the list of female idols
with the most stunning beauty in K-pop.
The beautiful idol seems not to be aging because she looks exactly like a 20-year-old girl.
Looking at Irene in the group picture, non-fans sure don’t know that she is the eldest member
of Red Velvet.
The female rapper Cardi B was born in 1992.
Although being just 1 year younger than Irene, Cardi looks much more mature because she built
her image as a sexy and rebellious rapper through bold designed outfits and makeup.
At the age of 29, Cardi B is already a mother of two.
The reason why many people are surprised to know that Irene is 1 year older than Cardi
B probably comes from the makeup style.
The WAP rapper loves to apply eyeshadow with bold colors like black, brown, and gray, and
she is always associated with extremely thick false eyelashes.
In addition, Cardi B also paid attention to the contouring of the cheekbones to make the
face sharper and using her signature nude lipstick.
Meanwhile, Irene usually touches up her eyes with bright colors such as peach orange, pink
and doesn’t contour her face.
On top of that, Irene has a rather slim, petite body which is less than 160cm tall.
Meanwhile, Cardi B has a much larger skeleton with full hips and bust so it creates the
impression that Cardi B is more mature than Irene.
Jennie – Kylie Jenner Of course these two symbols of deadly sexiness
can’t be missed on this list.
In a way, Jennie and Kylie have quite a lot in common.
Both pursue a luxurious, glamorous style and exude a sexy aura.
Their charisma when appearing on stages and screens can make fans equally overwhelmed.
But, the interesting fact is that Jennie is Kylie’s sister since she’s 1-year older
than Kylie.
In case you don’t remember, Kylie Jenner holds the title of the youngest self-made
billionaire.
She’s also well-known for her fiery and mature image despite being the youngest Jenner.
Like any other US influencers, Kylie’s makeup style is more on the sharp side.
She often chooses nude lipsticks to help her lips look thicker and fuller.
Sharp eyebrows, carefully lined eyes and brown or orange cheeks are also her daily choices.
About Jennie, she possesses a dynamic beauty that is both innocent and sexy.
Jennie fits in every style and pursues different images.
Just like Kylie, Jennie also tries the nude makeup style multiple times.
However, she doesn’t apply too much eyeliner as well as contouring in order to maintain
her cute round and chubby face.
To be honest, it is hard to deny that Jennie looks much younger than the youngest Jenner.
Partly because Jennie pursues a fashion style that is luxurious but still retains its freshness,
sometimes loveliness.
Despite pursuing Western style, Jennie has her ways of making it her own and mixing it
to be more suitable for Korean.
While Kylie's fashion sense so far has always been on the side of sexiness with bodycon
outfits and bold cuts.
Moreover, the reason why Kylie Jenner looks much more mature than Jennie is due to her
body proportions.
The 24-year-old tycoon possesses superhot hourglass body type, a flat belly, toned waist
and hips.
Meantimes, despite being the member that K-netizens think has the sexiest body in BlackPink, Jennie
still looks quite small as a whole when compared to Kylie.
Wendy – Doja Cat Another duo that makes netizens shocked when
knowing their real ages is Wendy and Doja Cat.
The main vocalist of Red Velvet was born in 1994 while the birth year of Doja was in 1995!
Wendy's bright and radiant beauty, which has been very popular since her debut, has become
even more prominent recently when she changed her hairstyle.
Wendy is a typical visual of SM Entertainment with her perfectly fair skin and a bright
smile.
During Red Velvet’s comeback with Psycho, Wendy even dyed her hair platinum white which
well-complimented her white skin tone About Doja, the famous “Say So” rapper
inherits a unique beauty when having both American and South African blood.
She owns mature facial lines with dark brown eyes, sharp eyebrows, and tanned skin.
She sure knows how to make herself stand out by changing different hair colours and styles.
It seems that visual orientation is the key to the age difference between K-pop and US
stars; Wendy and Doja Cat are a typical duo.
Wendy pursues a young, dynamic style when often choosing cute and bright colored outfits.
Also, It is worth noting that Wendy is only 1m59 tall.
With that tiny figure, she does look much younger than her real age.
In contrast, Doja Cat favors a more mature and sexy style.
There are multiple times people see Doja in extra outfits and super bold makeup like this:
Well, I think only Doja can rock these outfits like no one else.
She is said to be the” futuristic fashion alien” – and that’s what set her apart.
Looking at these photos of Doja and Wendy, many people do not realize that Doja is 1
year younger than the vocalist of Red Velvet.
JungKook – Khalid When Khalid attended BTS’s concert at Rose
Bowl Stadium and took photos with the group, he made both his fans and ARMYs go crazy about
it.
However, after some brief research about Khalid, netizens were surprised to know that he is
even younger than Jungkook - the youngest member of BTS.
I think there’s no introduction needed when it comes to Jungkook.
Since his debut, the golden maknae of BTS has always gone viral with his masculine,
handsome face like a statue yet also very mischievous and youthful.
Recently, Jungkook caused a fever with his perfect, surreal visuals in 2 photos posted
on Twitter showing his face before and after makeup.
Khalid, a famous and talented American singer-songwriter specializing in R&B music, is possibly one
of the most trusted singers in all genres, especially R&B.
Since 2016, the potential young vocalist of the R&B village has continuously left a unique
mark not only with solo songs but also many collaborations with other artists.
Khalid does not hesitate to collaborate with any name, ranging from Hip-hop, Pop, Country
to EDM or Rock.
From cult stars to new faces can shake hands with this 23-year-old singer.
Khalid doesn’t have an outstanding appearance but he looks unique with his signature hairstyle
and beard.
Looking at these two stars, it’s hard to believe that Jungkook is older than Khalid,
as Khalid was born in 1998 while Jungkook was born in 1997.
Actually, Khalid was the youngest in the picture, but no one expected it.
Some even believe that Khalid was the oldest one.
Both Jungkook and Khalid share the same fashion style with dynamic, youthful outfits and sometimes,
gentle clothes.
So, what could possibly be the reason for the different appearances?
Well, I think it’s due to the fact that Khalid naturally looks older than his age.
We can’t deny the fact that most Westerners look more mature than Asians due to their
genes and also habitats.
Adding to Jungkook’s naturally youthful appearance, he pays more attention to taking
care of his skin as he shares his skincare routine on Vlive multiple times.
So, I’ve just mentioned 4 duos that make everyone shocked when knowing their real ages.
It is mostly the difference in stylistic orientation that is the key creating the difference in
their appearance.
However, each image is suitable for a different culture and helps these stars shine their
own way.
Which duo shocked you the most?
Are there any other pairs that I forgot to mention?
