The oldest audience member at IVE’s concert in Hong Kong.
I went to watch IVE’s concert and spotted this elderly man who appeared to be over 60 years old, hahaha. He had a full head of white hair. I asked him how he bought his ticket, and he said he bought it online himself!!!

“The oldest DIVE at IVE’s concert in Hong Kong.
Previously, at the Taiwan concert, a couple of older women, who appeared to be over 50, were sitting behind me. They were so good at fan chants.
Recently, I saw someone ask, ‘Is it too late to stan celebrities at 40 years old?’
I just want to say that age is not a problem. When you’re 30 – 40 years old, you have more resources and money, so you can stan who you love. It’s not like when I was a student and had so many obstacles (no money.)
Idols light up my life, and I light up my idols’ dreams. The mutual love in the relationship is wonderful.”

The person who sat next to me at the show in Malaysia was an older man who was nearly 70. He even came to the concert with a cane. He took some medicine in the middle of the show, so I asked him if he was used to such a loud environment. He said it was fine and continued nodding to the music, just like us. I hope I’ll be like this when I get to that age.

There were older people at IU’s concert, too. Age is not an issue when it comes to stanning idols~

Don’t let your age deter you from doing what makes you happy!
