Today, I'm here to tell you about 5 Korean actors who are surprisingly in their 40s. Believe me; this list will leave you amazed!
Why? The wrinkle-free faces, handsomeness, and charisma these actors carry will make you doubt they are really that aged.
However, before I begin my list, let me tell you this: if youâre Gen Z like me and youâve been crushing on these Oppas, just know youâve been crushing on a potential Ahjussi. (Laugh all you want, but itâs the truth).
So without further ado, here's a list of our favorite "Ahjuicys".
Hyun Bin
First on the list is our handsome âCrash Landing On Youâ North Korean soldier. I must say actor Hyun Bin has made me believe you can get more handsome as you age. I mean, have you seen his before and after pictures side by side? Omo! (Yes, I said this in both Yoruba and Korean.)
Actor Hyun Bin was born on 25th September 1982 and is currently 41 years old. He has been active in the entertainment industry since 2003 till date. Heâs one actor whose âbeautyâ we canât get over.
Lee Dong Wook
Since I said if youâre a Gen Z crushing on these Oppas, youâre crushing on an Ahjussi, I am also guilty of this. You started liking Actor Lee Dong Wook after he starred in âGoblin,â right? Me too!
Guess what? He is 42 years old! He was born on November 6, 1981, and started acting in 1999. One thing I canât stop loving about this Oppa is his charisma while taking up any role. From being a hot grim reaper to a crazy police officer, from a half-gumiho to a villain, just name it and heâs killing it
Ji Sung
This is one Oppa I can never see in a serious light. His role in âKill Me, Heal Meâ always cracks me up. However, after seeing him in âThe Devil Judgeâ I fell in love with his acting prowess. I mean, the switch!
Ji Sung was born on 27th February 1977. He started acting in 1999, and seriously, I still canât believe he is 46 years old with that face and body.
So Ji Sub
From âOh My Venusâ to âMy Secret Terrius,â So Ji Sub has always made a statement with his face, acting skills, and professionalism.
Actor So Ji Sub was born on 4th November 1977, making him 46 years old. He began his career in 1995. I guess we can call him a veteran.
And of course, speaking about his looks, if I were to rate him without prior knowledge of his age, he would fall in the 30s and not 40s.
Gong Yoo
Letâs speak of the Goblin himself. Although I have always suspected that he was not so young, I still didnât expect him to be in his 40s.
44-year-old Gong Yoo was born on July 10, 1979, and he sure looks younger than his age every time I see him on screen or in his pictures.
He started acting in 1979, and heâs been making waves since then.
Now that weâve come to the end of this list, donât run away. If youâre guilty of crushing on any of these Ahjussis, just raise your hand in the comments.
In addition, tell me whose age surprised you the most when you found out.
