B.A.P’s Zelo receives attention for his impressive growth spurt

[strawberry-efeu.livejournal.com]

B.A.P‘s Zelo is being called the group’s “giant baby” with his tall height of 184 cm (~6 ft.).

Zelo shared on his Twitter on the 13th, “I measured my height. 184…hehe,” showing off his impressive growth spurt. Fellow member Youngjae then tweeted back, “Don’t do this… ㅠ You have to think of your hyungs too.”

17-year-old (Korean age) Zelo’s height is stated on his profile as 182 cm, but in a recent interview held in Japan, Zelo revealed his height at the time was 183 cm. He said, “I want to stop growing. But the hospital told me that my growth spurt is still going on.”

Fans commented, “184 cm is so tall compared to me”, “He’s cute and tall”, and “I still like you Youngjae”.

In related news, Zelo made headlines for making his fans swoon with his cute charms at the ‘Hope Concert for Multicultural Families’.

A teenage boy undergoing a growth spurt. Shocker of the century.

I hope he is till growing, just because I want to know how tall he can be.
190, y/y?

I'm adopting him as my son cause he's just the kind of kid a mother can be proud of and tell everyone about how wonderful he is :)

pinches this babbu's cheeks

[xredada.livejournal.com]

Omg I don't follow bap but to me he looks (from his face) as though he would be a shorty. I need to find some evidence of this 184cm.

[avieyal.livejournal.com]

This one's funny AND educational(?) lol

If you don't feel like watching, skip to 3:00. From 3:00 to 3:04, its either proof of his height or TS has really low lights/ceilings. (Don't mind Jongup, he's on the short end of BAP anyway. For reference, his profile says he's 176cm.)

[avieyal.livejournal.com]

I noticed in the warrior days he kept his head at a low angle, so he was mostly "looking up" with his eyes, especially around Bbang, probably because of the age gap?

Or maybe I'm just making this up because that's what I want to see lol

Its likely he won't stop growing til 20 or so, so yeah, 190 is plausible. Probably more if he gets more sleep..

[prettyminstrel.livejournal.com]

so who's currently the tallest male idol in kpop? was it someone from x-5?

[921227.livejournal.com]

Most likely Jungshin from CN Blue, he's reportedly around 187cm. Exo M's Kris is basically that same height as well.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I think so. Kyumin from Led Apple is also really tall, 188cm I think? And he's still growing.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I bet he gives good piggy back rides.

[charlotterhys.livejournal.com]

Unless Himchan is actually 176cm or something, Zelo has to be taller than that. O.o Just watch any of the recent Hajima performances. Boy is huge.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Men usually grow until 18-21, so I think he could hit 190. That's huge, tbh. 185 is a perfect height imo.

[staaan.livejournal.com]

not fair :/ i stopped growing at 15. i'm 170cm so i guess i can't complain, but i'd love to be ~175cm.

[flumes.livejournal.com]

BUT WHAT DOES HIS HEIGHT MEAN IN AMERICAN

[misoras.livejournal.com]

he is 90 cheeseburgers tall

[meterstandkaart.livejournal.com]

LOL

[flumes.livejournal.com]

smh i hate u u no i dont eat mEAT

[raviolikenshin.livejournal.com]

he is around 72.4 inches tall, or six feet exactly on the dot. (6.033 feet)

[sisterjune.livejournal.com]

According to my chart he's just shy of 6'1 which would be 185 cm. But it can be hard to exact approximations. I dont usually bother checking charts anymore cause I've been in non american fandoms and fashion so long that I just ended up teaching myself metric for heights, weight, body measurements etc lol. So I can ballpark it usually and yeah 6-6'1 is where Zelo is right now. But since most of BAP is short by western standards he looks even bigger lol.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___varying/]

Oh AKP; lol Youngjae. xD None of them are short, seriously. Even though they rag on Jongup about his height.

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

Seriously, they're all within 3-4in of each other and Zelo is 6ft (I feel like they definitely can't be lying about Zelo's height?) I don't think they're lying about anyone's heights, really, the others don't look short, and 5'9"ish is perfectly respectable for an asian dude.

(I think they only tease JU because he's the second youngest yet Zelo is so tall... and he doesn't get mad about anythingit.)

[ruddens.livejournal.com]

"i still like you youngjae" is the best comment

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

I liked manager Kang's tweet to Zelo. XD;;

[reelrecnizereel.livejournal.com]

Youngjae is too funny smh
Males stop growing at 21 - damn.

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

Wah..i love Zelo and his tall height. Its sooo funny. and hes not that skinny either...unlike some tall idols~

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

lol i luv dis giant baby xD he def doesn't look like his height..his face looks more like dat cute little kid from across the street. >XDDDD

[terror-trials.livejournal.com]

"Korean age"!???? Umm wtf is that supposed to mean?

[strawberry-efeu.livejournal.com]

They count age differently than the rest of the world. They say a baby is already 1 y/o when it's born, and you become another year older at the beginning of the year, not on your birthday. So, a person can be up to two years older in their Korean age than in their international age. Zelo's international age is 16, so there's only a difference of one year since his birthday already passed this year. idk why akp was using Zelo's Korean age in the first place though.
