TXT’s Oldest Member Yeonjun Is Already Earning A “Grandpa” Rep
TXT‘s Yeonjun is just 19 years old, but he’s already living up to the “grandpa” status given to a K-Pop group’s oldest member.
This baby-faced cutey could easily be mistaken for TXT’s real maknae (Taehyun) and vice versa, but according to Korean netizens Yeonjun is 100% old man on the inside.
In Yeonjun’s first-ever Twitter message to fans, he revealed his grandpa ways by making a “dad joke” that went right over most non-Korean speakers’ heads.

In this post, Yeonjun referenced a popular, but old, Korean meme with the playful crying sounds he used.
Fans are now describing Yeonjun as a “young soul with old jokes” and they can’t wait to hear what kind of jokes he and BTS’s “old man” Jin will come up with together!
