The harsh passage of time made former idol stars’ appearances change dramatically, leaving them almost unrecognizable. The reasons for their sudden aging vary
Firstly, former Super Junior member Han Geng’s recent video propelled him to sudden fame as an icon of “rapid aging”.
Debuting with Super Junior in 2005, Han Geng left the group after 4 years and pursued acting in China.
In a recent video, his youthful and fresh visuals from his Super Junior days were nowhere to be found, replaced by a surprising “uncle-like appearance”. Born in February 1984, making him currently 39 years old, he notably looks older compared to the active Super Junior members. In this video, Han Geng shed light on details like his past contract with SM Entertainment and the process of leaving the group, further fueling negative reactions from netizens.
Some stars have also found themselves embroiled in unexpected “aging controversies” due to styling and makeup mishaps. Sexy queen Lee Hyori’s “aging disgrace” is an unprecedented record.
Attending a luxury brand photocall event last October, she made a strong impression with her high-end attire.
As an iconic figure of the era, Lee Hyori’s unconventional styling inevitably drew attention. She also experimented with light eyebrow makeup, smokey eye makeup to emphasize her eyes, and even added freckles for a daring makeup look.
While Lee Hyori confidently embraced her unique styling, the influx of candid photos sparked aging controversies. However, Lee Hyori humorously addressed the situation by self-deprecatingly sharing the photos on her personal channel, playfully dismissing the criticism.
On the other hand, singer-actor Eric became the center of attention for his “aging lightning strike” during his hiatus from public activities to focus on raising his son with actress Na Hye-mi.
Last year, a photo of Eric with a fan circulated online, sparking discussions about his apparent aging. In the photo, Eric appeared without any adornment, prompting comments about his perceived lack of grooming and visible signs of aging.
Eric eventually addressed the situation directly, explaining that the photo was taken during the early days of parenting when he could not get enough sleep. He emphasized that the photo was taken casually and humorously mentioned his weight gain, reassuring fans about his well-being and family life.
