Netizens were shocked when they realized the age difference between Leeseo IVE and the senior she wanted to be close to. Leeseo, who was born in 2007, is one of the youngest idols active in Kpop today.
Recently, the youngest member of rookie girl group IVE, Leeseo, was asked which female idol he would like to be close to in the future. The "ELEVEN" singer also mentioned BLACKPINK's Jennie (Black Pink), Red Velvet's Joy, and Karina Aespa.
Jennie and Joy have always been famous among junior female idols. Recently, another IVE member, Rei, expressed his joy at being able to meet in person with Joy, whom he has admired and adored for a long time. Joy herself also posted on her personal Instagram a photo taken with Rei, and shared on Bubble how touched she was with Rei.
Netizens were also surprised when they realized the age difference between Leeseo and the senior she wanted to be close to. Leeseo, who was born in 2007, is one of the youngest idols active in Kpop today.
Even though IVE and AESPA's debuts are only a year apart, Leeseo is 7 years younger than Karina. Even more surprising, the 14-year-old rookie idol is years younger than Jennie and Joy. Netizens also commented on his statement that he wanted to be close to Jennie, Joy and Karina.
"Joy is loved by junior girls," commented netizens. "Jennie was born in January 1996, so she was born in the Year of the Pig, not the Year of the Rat, so it's true to say that Jennie is 12 years older than Leeseo," said another netizen. "Really shocked... Now I see Leeseo is still a baby," said another.
"It's strange to hear 'Karina sunbaenim'... Maybe because AESPA just debuted a year ago," said netizens. "But it's true that junior girls often mention BLACKPINK's Jennie and Red Velvet's Joy," another commented. "Actually, if you ask middle and high school girls which singers they like the most, Jennie, Joy and Karina are the three most mentioned," added another.
"As expected, Jennie and Joy are role models that girls really like," said netizens. "Joy is very famous in the idol world. I see many young idols mention him," added another. "So funny. Middle school kids usually like cool and sexy unnies," another commented.
Meanwhile, IVE is still promoting the title song "ELEVEN" on weekly music shows. The group took their first win on "Show Champion" on December 8, breaking ITZY's record for becoming the fastest girl group to win the weekly music show trophy in K-pop history. (wk/goddess)
