On January 21, a video titled “Happy New Year” was uploaded to Red Velvet’s official YouTube channel. The video shows Irene getting her makeup done ahead of a year-end countdown performance in Singapore. As she reflected on the final day of the year, Irene casually remarked, “I’m turning 36.”
Despite her comment, the footage that followed quickly drew attention for the opposite reason. Born in 1991, Irene is 36 years old by Korean age this year, yet her radiant visuals sparked disbelief among viewers.
Netizens reacted with amazement, leaving comments such as,
- “I can’t believe she’s 36,”
- “Isn’t Irene basically a vampire?”
Alongside the video, an older clip of Irene talking about her age has also resurfaced and gained renewed attention online. The viral video, filmed during a countdown event, captures Irene confidently saying, “Does age really matter?” The clip has surpassed 12.7 million views , highlighting the public’s continued fascination with her ageless charm. In the comments, when one netizen asked, “How old was she here?” a witty reply simply read, “Today.”
The response drew laughter and further reinforced the sentiment shared by both fans and the general public, that Irene’s youthful visuals make it nearly impossible to guess her real age.
With her calm confidence and timeless appearance, Irene continues to prove why she remains one of K-pop’s most talked-about visuals, even as she openly embraces getting older.
