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.

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
