In South Korea, everyone gets a year older on New Year’s Day. The festival was held on the night of December 31, 2023, crossing over into the New Year. Born in 2000, Jaemin is far from old. Although he is only 23 years old, compared to the new idols debuting in the new generation, he may be as much as 7 years older than them. Leeseo, who was right in front of him, was born in 2007!

Many netizens related to the down-to-earth moment.

I’m the same age as Jaemin, so I can f*cking relate. The fact that 25 is closer to 30…sigh. I’m still just a kid.

With younger kids debuting each year, no wonder Jaemin feels old!
