Their youthful beauty and outstanding acting have made audiences overlook the performers' age difference.

Two of the many key things that help actors depict their roles well are the use of appropriate visuals and the ability to role-play.

This factor also makes the audience forget the actors' true ages. In terms of their roles, the characters in the following Korean shows on screen appear to be highly similar.

However, many viewers are taken aback by the fact that they are so far off in age in real life.

Jung Hae In, Kim Min Kyu

Comrade Lim Soo Ho (Jung Hae In) and Comrade Joo Gyeok Chan (Kim Min Kyu) are around the same age in "Snowdrop".

Standing next to each other, these two characters appear to be two similar-aged, like-minded comrades.

However, Jung Hae In is 6 years older than Kim Min Kyu in real life, and the two have a very close brotherly bond.

Hwang In Yeop, Cha Eun Woo

Han Seo Joon (Hwang In Yeop) and Lee Su Ho (Cha Eun Woo) are longstanding best friends in "True Beauty", and they are both of the same age and in the same class.

With Hwang In Yeop's youthful appearance and Cha Eun Woo's maturity, it's tough to believe the two actors are only 6 years apart in age.

Park Min Young, Seo Kang Joon

It's incredibly easy to match Park Min Young's age-hacked appearance with Seo Kang Joon, a 7-year-old youngster.

These two sisters play the roles Mok Hae Won and Lim Eun Seob, who are close friends before becoming lovers.

Their camaraderie and flawless visuals served to bridge the generation gap and engage viewers in "When the Weather Is Fine."

Lee Joo Myung, Choi Hyun Wook

Ji Seung Wan (Lee Joo Myung) and Moon Ji Woong (Choi Hyun Wook) of "Twenty Five, Twenty One" are the most renowned same-age couple recently.

Actors Lee Hyun Wook and Lee Joo Myung are both 20 years old.

Both of their performances are so smooth and at ease that the 8-year age difference is forgotten.

Lee Yoo Mi, Park Ji Ho

Lee Na Yeon (Lee Yoo Mi) and Nam On Jo (Park Ji Ho), classmates, have undoubtedly made a lasting effect on fans of the series "All Of Us Are Dead."

Many people were startled to learn that actress Park Ji Ho was only 18 years old, 11 years younger than "classmate" Lee Yoo Mi.

Their acting and visuals were so outstanding that many people were surprised to learn that she was just 18 years old.

SM's rookie group NCT Wish stirred up controversy during a recent live radio broadcast due to their seemingly uninterested attitude.

On April 22, SBS PowerFM's "Escape from the Two O'Clock Cultwo Show" featured Chuu, who recently made her comeback, alongside NCT Wish members.

Chuu’s bright and energetic reactions kept the atmosphere lively, but the NCT Wish members’ contrasting behavior quickly caught attention.

Throughout the broadcast, many of the members kept their eyes on the floor, gave short answers, or spoke in a vague manner, showing little enthusiasm.

During a challenge on the show, only a few members seemed engaged, while the rest appeared almost completely unresponsive. This passive behavior didn’t go unnoticed by listeners.

Fans expressed disappointment, with some commenting, “Other small rookie groups can’t even get on this show, so it makes you think a lot,” “They don’t show any eagerness. I wish I could live this comfortably too,” and “Chuu, a senior, is working hard to react, but they should respond back.”

Others speculated that the group's sudden rise to fame may have made them lack sincerity, saying, “Maybe the popularity came too easily, and they lack sincerity. It seems like they didn’t start from the bottom, debuting with the name ‘NCT’ under a big company, which might be their mistake.”

In the middle of the broadcast, SHINee’s Key made a notable comment, saying, “I’m watching, so do well,” adding a bit of pressure on the young group.

However, some fans defended the group, pointing out that NCT Wish, which is still in its second year and includes foreign members, might just be lacking experience in broadcasting. They suggested that the members are still adjusting and that they will likely improve with time.

Fans are now eagerly waiting to see how NCT Wish grows and changes in the future!
