When one of the show hosts mentioned that, among women, she had become synonymous with looking “more mature than their age,” the actress commented that she knew about it.

Acknowledging that she had always looked “too old” for her age, Im Soo Hyang said that even when she was in elementary school, high school boys perceived her as someone their age and approached her.

By the time she was in middle school, she was teased for looking “old enough to be working in an office” and even had full-grown men pursue her, thinking she was an adult.

Im Soo Hyang noted that, even after she debuted as a college student, her fanbase consisted of older men. The actress ended on a bright note, though, commenting that her age is catching up with how she looks on the outside.

Fast forward to 2024, Im Soo Hyang is 34 years old—but regardless of age, looking better than ever. Currently co-starring in the KBS weekend K-Drama, Beauty and Mr. Romantic, the actress is deeply loved by her fans.
