It goes without saying that K-pop idols have to always take good care of their appearance
in order to appear in front of the public with the best look.
That’s why they often show no signs of aging, causing fans to be taken aback when knowing
their actual age.
They also often look way younger than Western stars of the same age, and the disparity between
their looks may blow your mind away.
1.
Lisa, Rose’ and Kylie Jenner (born in 1997)
Famous for her mature beauty and sexy fashion style, many people would be shocked to know
that the star from “Keeping up with the Kardashian” Kylie Jenner was only born in
1997.
What’s even more surprising is that she is the same age as Rosé and Lisa of BLACKPINK.
Kylie does not mind showing it off in tight and cut-out outfits and heavy makeup look,
which helps her look gorgeous yet puts significant age on her face and makes Kylie seem much
older than her real age.
Whether on a red carpet or on her casual day out, Kylie usually opted for dark or nude
lipstick shades, contoured cheeks, fluttery lashes and smokey eyeshadow.
In stark contrast, the duo from BLACKPINK are renowned for their fresh and youthful
look.
Whenever they appear in front of the public, Lisa and Rose’ stand out for their dynamic
appearance with bright smiles that resemble that of teenage girls.
Their senses of fashion are also different from the American hot mom, since they often
appear in either cool street style or elegant, girly outfits, along with a light and natural
makeup style.
Putting their pictures beside Kylie’s, most people would mistake Lisa and Rosé as younger
than Kylie while they’re actually the same age.
While Kylie is now a mother of two and a powerful businesswoman with her multi-million dollar
empire, Lisa and Rose’ are still enjoying the best days of their youth and keep the
habit of teasing each other like real kids.
2.
Jin and Cardi B (born in 1992)
Many Kpop stans were shocked to find out that BTS’s oldest member Jin and American rapper
Cardi B are actually the same age.
Although Jin has entered his 30s, he is famous for having a baby face with soft and delicate
facial features.
Meanwhile, Cardi B was said to look more mature than her real age.
According to Dutch Scientific Analysis in 2020, Jin turned out to be an almost perfect
face scientifically.
His face is not only symmetrical, but also has the optimal proportions of the mouth,
eyes, chin, and forehead.
With his smooth porcelain skin, heart-shaped lips and round eyes, nobody would think that
this man has already entered his 30s and had almost 10 years of working in the entertainment
industry.
Some even point out that Jin looks like a newly-debut idol rather than a senior with
many years of experience thanks to his babyface.
In fact, on one BTS reality show, Jin was thought to be of the same age as Jungkook
by the local resident although the two have a 5-year age gap.
On the other hand, Cardi B always appears in public with heavy makeup and sexy, mature
outfits.
The American rapper also often opts for classic, chic hairstyles such as blunt bangs or sleek
buns.
Many agree that with the typical Western features, styles and concepts, it is understandable
why Cardi B looks way older than the oldest member of BTS.
3.
V and Post Malone (born in 1995)
Another age comparison that makes BTS fans thrilled was between the vocalist of BTS,
V, and the well-known American rapper Post Malone.
Although the two are of the same age, we can all notice the striking difference between
their looks.
On the one hand, Post Malone stands out not only for his worldwide hits but also for his
unique appearance.
Malone possesses a multitude of tattoos on different body parts as well as impressive
beards.
Besides that, he always appears as comfortable as he can, most of the time in baggy shirts
and sweatpants.
Despite being a superstar, he does not mind appearing in ironically tacky imagery.
Having a first glance at his photos, no one would have thought that this artist is only
in his late 20s!
On the other hand, V is often in the limelight for his unparalleled beauty and charm.
The Kpop superstar is said to own perfect facial features with a high nose bridge, big,
soulful eyes and glossy lips.
V also has a decent and chic fashion style with cool items like pattern shirts, peacoats,
vests, etc.
Although his visuals have become more mature with time, Kpop fans all agree that he still
looks younger than his actual age.
4.
Ryujin and Billie Eilish (born in 2001)
Many Kpop fans were in shock to find out that the Grammy winner Billie Eilish and ITZY’s
Ryujin both turn 22 years old this year.
If Billie Eilish is a representative of Western artists born after 2000, Ryujin is considered
the “ace” of ITZY.
Billie was said to own a distinctive sense of style with extra hairstyles and outfits.
In many ways, the American star has come to represent the ultimate expression of Genz’s
eclectic.
However, her switch to a more mature style and concept in the recent album “Happier
than ever” impresses fans around the globe as she now looks like a grown woman.
When Billie showed up at the Met Gala 2022 red carpet in tight corset and ivory gown,
she surprised the public with her sexy look and mature vibe, reminding people of the renowned
Lady Gaga.
Who would have thought this gorgeous lady had just finished her teenage years by that
time?
In contrast, Ryujin is known for her dynamic and youthful image with the signature girl-crush
concept that attracts many female fans.
She is said to look exactly 22 years old with an innocent face complimented by light makeup
and a teenager fashion style with croptops, jackets, short skirts and baggy pants.
Besides that, Ryujin also exudes a youthful and positive aura with her adorable smile
and the cute side she shares with her members and fans.
Comparing her photos with Billie Eilish’s, no one would believe that the two are actually
of the same age!
5.
Joy and Lorde (born in 1996)
It seems hard to believe that the vocalist of Red Velvet and the singer of “Royals”
were both born in 1996
Ever since her meteoric debut in 2013, Lorde has captured the attention of the public for
her distinguished style.
Lorde’s look was mainly set in black, draping capes, net-mesh tops, witchy long skirts and
menswear.
She wore rich textures of velvet, lace, and silk, which are often for mature ladies.
Combined with her wavy hippie hairstyle and iconic dark lipstick shade, Lorde is said
to look nothing like a 24-year-old girl.
In contrast to her peer, Joy has been well-known for her youthful and dynamic aura since her
debut in 2014.
Often showing up with a bright smile and a cheerful vibe, Joy is regarded as the “Happy
Vitamin” of Red Velvet.
Joy’s fashion and makeup style also plays a significant part in her youthful appearance.
Joy often appears in cute and sweet items like floral dresses, plaid outfits, croptops,
etc. as well as rosy, natural makeup.
When putting her photos next to that of Lorde, nobody would think that the two are actually
peers.
So, which duo do you find most shocking?
Do you know any other Korean-Western artists of the same age?
