Kim Jaejoong Shocked When IVE Leeseo, Born in 2007, Addressed Him as 'Uncle' ... "Hurts My Heart"

 
by Reporter Jung Eunchae

The youngest member of IVE, Leeseo, introduced herself, saying "I'm 17 years old in Korean age. I was born in 2007." Kim Jaejoong, who was born in 1986, was taken aback to hear that, saying, "So there's a 21-year age difference between us."

Then, when Leeseo said she wanted to address Kim Jaejoong as 'Uncle', he responded, "Hearing 'Uncle Jaejoong' hurts my heart." In response, Leeseo suggested, "Should I call you Oppa then?" However, Kim Jaejoong replied, "No, that's not it either. It feels a bit strange. Don't force it. You can call me 'Ajusshi', or even 'Grandfather'"

-Wow... He's old enough to be her father🥲

-Still, he said it's a bit strange to have her call him Oppaㅋㅋㅋ

-Uncle Jaejoongㅋㅋㅋ But when she tried calling him 'Oppa,' he immediately said that's not itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-????????? 21-year difference?

-I understand how he feels. When someone calls me 'Aunt', it feels weird because they're not my niece or nephewㅋㅋㅋ It's not like I want to be called 'Unnie' either, but it just doesn't feel right, you know?ㅋㅋㅋ

-I get what he means. Maybe calling him 'Sunbae' would be better.

-Grandfather??ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What do you mean 'Grandfather'?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Just calling them 'Sunbae' would be fineㅋㅋ

-Leeseo looks mature and Kim Jaejoong just doesn't age... So the 21-year age difference doesn't look obvious at allㅋㅋㅋ It's not a big deal!!

-With that age gap, calling him 'Oppa' doesn't make senseㅠㅋㅋ 'Uncle' or 'Sunbae' would be better.

-The article title is written to stir up controversyㅋㅋ If you don't read the article, you'll misunderstand.

-But really, Kim Jaejoong takes care of himself wellㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He doesn't seem like an old man ㅠㅠ

-Honestly, 'Oppa' just doesn't sound right. Isn't the word 'Sunbae' more fitting at times like this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
