Red Velvet’s Irene is once again making waves online for her seemingly ageless appearance.
A recent clip showing the Red Velvet leader casually facing the camera before going on stage has gone viral, racking up over half a million views in less than a day. Fans were immediately struck by how unchanged Irene’s visuals appear, even as she approaches her 35th birthday in March.
Despite more than 10 years in the spotlight, promoting with Red Velvet, the sub-unit with Seulgi, and as a solo artist, Irene’s appearance continues to surprise fans. Many Korean and Japanese netizens flooded social media with comments expressing disbelief at her looks.
It feels like age is just a number for Irene… Because at 24… 25… 26… 34… and now 35… she still looks like this, seriously…
