However, they are still shy and not so confident about it because 16 is still considered young for many people.
The lyrics have a part where the ladies of Oh My Girl sings about trying to be fearless and brave as they dream of the future and that is relatable to many even the ones who are not sixteen anymore.
IU 'Twenty-Three'
One of the most famous songs that talks about age is IU's '23'. The song is written by IU and is about how 23-year-olds pretend to be adults even though they don't really know what adult is being about.
It is that age of confusion wherein individuals don't really know what they exactly want. There is a part in the song where IU sang about wanting to be in love or wanting to make money. She also discussed how that age is very sensitive because what she expresses on her face is different from what her heart really wants.
Rain '30Sexy'

His fans totally love this song because he is showing how proud he is at that age and when compared to many other K-pop idols, it is considered 'old'. But of course, he does not care because he is RAIN.
A fan commented on the music video that "If I looked that good at 30 years old, I would make a song about being 30 too tbh."
Song Jieun 'Twenty-Five'
In Korea, age 25 is considered the pretty age or the best age to experience many things. It is because one is not too young or old to do the things one wants and loves without caring that much.
