It was reported last week that Narsha was actually two years older than what everyone knew. She had revealed on a recording of Strong Heart (Kang Shim Jang) that she was 29, instead of 27 which everyone thought it was.

That was finally aired on the 20th where Narsha revealed, "This is the first time I am revealing this since my debut four years ago. When I debuted, I said that I was born in 1983 (meaning that she is 27). But I am actually going to be 30 next year. I was born in 1981 and I took off my real age by two when I did my profile. I am going to be 30 just like Jang Nara and Park Ye Jin (both were on the same show) next year."

As for the reason on revealing her real age now as opposed to other times, Narsha explained that it was because of Jewelry's Seo In Young.

Narsha said, "We (Brown Eyed Girls) met Jewelry backstage at a music show recently. As they were next to perform, we greeted them out of courtesy. But to my shock, Seo In Young (born in 1984) petted my head and said I was cute although she was much younger than me. So I decided that I had to reveal my real age."

even if she was 27, wouldn't seo in young still be younger than her?

yeah! i was thinking about the same thing.
but maybe if narsha is born on 1983, their age gap is closer?

I'm thinking about this too. But even if so, Narsha's technically 1 year older, how is it possible for In Young to pat her head? Unless it's a sunbae-hoobae relationship?

Hmm. I'm curious.

In a way I feel like she took what Seo In Young did offensively, and if thats the case she didn't have the right cause well...she's been lying about her age. So what did she expect? rofl. Oh well. At least she won't have to worry about it anymore.

It seems like Narsha was offended but still, I'm surprised SIY did that since you get pretty much scolded for doing that in Korea. And SIY looks pissed in that pic.

Anyone else wondering if SIY has lied her age too as she looks kinda older? Like maybe around 34/35, though with all the plastic surgery she has got it's hard to say what's natural on her face anymore.

i don't think so
i mean, she does look older but i think it's because she's got so much shit done.
in beg's case. when they debuted they were already 25 (western age), which is already old for a debut by korean standers, so they 'reduced' it a bit to 23.
Jewelry debut in 2001 and by that time (assuming that SIY hasn't lied about her age), she was 17, if she'd been a bit older i don't think it would have mattered that much that she had to lie, and if she'd been much older i don't think anyone would have bought it that she was 17...

Might be so, though some people do look fairly young for their age. For instance, I answered for my door few days ago without wearing any makeup and the jehovah's witnesses on my door thought I was a teenager and asked if my parents were home. LOL o_O I'm 29 years old.

I am fascinated by the obsession with age in Korea. It's all hierarchical.

ngl, it must suck to be already 1/2 years older by default.

right, like you get out of your moma's womb and you're already 1 and then every new year or Christmas you're 2. Like most of these women are not even old in ¨normal¨ age.

my comment wasn't regarding the age related respect norms.
the girl before me said that korea was obsessed with age and i said that it would suck to be 1 OR 2 years older by default (because it makes them sound older).

Doesn't make much of a difference to me.. LOL @ Korea and their obsession with age. I was born in '85 and they make me feel like I should be in a nursing home. lol

....and for her next trick, watch Narsha take her wig off and reveal that she is a man.

I'm finding the excessive mentioning of her age issue kind of annoying, but well, that's an interesting thought.

You know, I'd be kinda pleased if she were. I want to know what she'd look like as a man.

wow i guess its really offensive in korea to do what SIY did? LOL. or is it just them? i'm kinda clueless.

i don't think she was offended but maybe she felt bad that she'd been lying about her age and decided to come clean about it? but i would find it a bit patronizing tbh

LOL i meant the action of petting someone on the head when the other person is older. 'cause narsha said she was shocked right? so i'm wondering if its considered rude or sth.

From: [identity profile] xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com
i wouldn't be surprised

Yes. In Korea especially (not too sure about other Asian countries), the head is always treated with respect, more so than other body parts. So patting someone on the head is considered condescending which is why adults do it mostly to children. So what SIY was doing was establishing her boundaries as an older person to Narsha so that she would act more respectfully towards her, which was why Narsha was so shocked i.e. annoyed, I'm guessing lol. Hell, I would be!

it sounds really tough to make friends with people older than you if age matters so much.

From: [identity profile] erbalurbal.livejournal.com
Uhh does she know who SIY is? I bet if she was 10 years older and SIY still thought she was cute she would have done that lol.

I don't think it had anything to do with age
