Korean Netizens Surprised At Why Kim Jaejoong Has A 20-Year Age Gap With His Sister

Recently, Kim Jaejoong, also known for having eight older sisters, revealed his oldest sister, who is twenty years older, for the first time on TV.

In the upcoming episode of KBS’s Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant, Jaejoong invites his oldest sister to his home to cook her a delicious meal.

Fans noticed her cool and honest personality as she evaluated his dishes. While eating, he reminisces and reveals his gratitude to his sister and her family.

I still feel sorry for my nieces and nephews. I didn’t have a place to stay, so she let me stay at her house. As a trainee, I worked many part-time jobs, and I had to cross the Han River from the practice room to get home because I didn’t have transportation money.

Previously, it was revealed that Jaejoong was adopted at a young age, only to find out the truth after debuting at TVXQ in 2004.

Although Korean netizens were shocked at the huge sibling age gap, they were even more shocked at the fact that he was adopted.

• “Wow, but his sister looks really young.”
• “20-year age gap…wow.”
• “I thought my 12-year age gap with my sister was big, but after seeing this, mine doesn’t seem so big.”
• “Wow 20 years?”
• “They should have about a 20-year age gap if there are nine kids.”
• “He’s the youngest? 8 sisters? Wow.”

• “9 siblings?”
• “Eight sisters…??”
• “Being nine siblings is already shocking, but having a 20-year age gap with the oldest is shocking.”
• “Eight sisters who took care of him with love.”
• “Wow she looks really young.”
• “Wow 20 years, that’s crazy.”
• “Does he really have eight older sisters??? Or is this some kind of concept…”

• “Jaejoong was adopted so he has eight older sisters.”
• “What? Omg…I’ve never known about this.”
• “Wow I didn’t know.”
• “First time hearing that he was adopted.”
• “Jaejoong’s life was quite the rollercoaster. That’s why he’s so amazing.”
• “He really is amazing. A good person, both as a normal person and a celebrity.”
• “Wow…first time hearing about this.”

• “His adoptive parents raised him without any discrimination from his sisters. The reason Jaejoong is where he is now without any sharp edges is because of that. His adoptive parents are really amazing people.”
• “I agree.”
• “Same.”
• “You can see this by just watching a little bit of his live broadcast with his parents. They really raised him with so much love. He is just a loving youngest child in front of his parents.”
• “He looks similar to his sister.”
• “Wow if she’s the oldest, she must be in her sixties…she looks really young.”

Jaejoong was adopted at three years old after his biological mother gave him up for adoption to an acquaintance who had eight daughters.

I wish to continue living as Kim Jae Joong, as I have always had. I also want my biological and adoptive families to continue understanding and loving each other.
