Age 18 But Often Mistaken for 26 Years Old, Here's Yuna ITZY's Confession

Kapanlagi.com - ITZY has just made K-Pop fans dance with their new song Not Shy. Speaking of the youngest group in JYP Entertainment, who do you like the most? It must be confusing because they all have their own charm and potential to become bias wreckers.

But now let's talk about the maknae, Yuna. When she debuted with ITZY, Yuna was only 18 years old (in the Korean age system, or 17 years old in international age). Despite being very young, her beauty, talent, and energetic performance on stage received a lot of praise.

Unfortunately, Yuna also received criticism. One of them is being called looking older than her actual age. Some even said that when she debuted, Yuna looked like she was already 26 years old.

It turns out that Yuna heard those comments too. This was revealed when she did a broadcast on VLive and one of the fans said that her idol looked younger when she had bangs.

"I know and I agree. When I first debuted with the song Dalla Dalla, people were like, 'She's 18? Impossible. Sorry, but I thought she was 25 or 26 years old'. My hair used to be red and even I felt like a college student with wavy hair without bangs, plus the makeup style too. At the beginning of my debut, I was still quiet and kept my mouth shut because I had to perform," said Yuna.

Next, Yuna has her own way to make people stop thinking like that about her age. When she has the opportunity, Yuna can speak up and show her true self.

"After that, I started appearing on V Live, speaking up and even cutting bangs. Since then, people say, 'The first time I saw her, I thought she was 25 or 26 years old. But now she looks like a high school student', 'Hearing her talk made me realize that she really is 18 years old'. Yes, I am still 18 years old," said Yuna.
