While most idols are known for their bright visuals, these idols live up to that exceptionally. Though they are in their late 20s and early-to-mid 30s, you can never tell due to how youthful they look. Here are seven idols who could easily pass off as high schoolers despite their age.

With his youthful features and his iconic round glasses, Jae looks much, much older than he truly is. On top of that, Jae is an idol who is very in touch with the current trends and memes, making him appear much more youthful than others his age.

Because of that, if he said was only 18-years-old, most people would probably believe him!

EXO Xiumin

Xiumin is 32, but you would never know just by looking at him!

Fans think it's because of his hamster-like visuals, as most idols with the same kind of look tend to look younger than they truly are. It is because of their bouncy, chubby cheeks that are usually seen with younger people.

Usually, as people get older, their cheeks become slimmer, but as Xiumin's is still adorable and bouncy, he looks like he could pass off as a senior in high school!

EXO Baekhyun

Baekhyun is 30, but he really does look like a teenager!

With his youthful looks paired with his outgoing and playful personality, it's apparent that Baekhyun is a kid at heart. The idol is known for his puppy-like visuals, with adorable bright eyes and an energy that rarely depletes.

Because of that, if you saw someone like Baekhyun in your high school class, you wouldn't bat an eye!

IU

IU is 27-years-old. Though she is in her late 20s, she doesn't look like it!

Just plop on a uniform on the soloist and bam! She blend in perfectly with other South Korean high schoolers. IU's skin has no signs of aging, and she still has the same innocent, pure, girl-next-door iamge she debuted with. Known as the "Nation's Little Sister", IU is still known for her dongsaenng like aura.

Sandara Park

Sandara Park is, surprisingly, 37!

Sometimes, people can forget Sandara has been in the entertainment industry ever since she was in high school. Starting off as a star in the Philippines before debuting in 2NE1 under YG Entertainment.

Despite spending more than half of her life under the spotlight, Sandara has shown little to no signs of aging! She could easily pass off as an eighteen-year-old!

BTS Jin

Jin is 29, but he doesn't look like it! Despite being BTS's oldest member, some say he is bascially the second maknae due to his youthful visuals and his happy-go-lucky personality.

With his outgoing attitude, it's easy to see how JIn can be confused for a high schooler. There is only one thing that shows his age - and that is his love for dad jokes!

Irene is already 31! Most people can't believe it; she has no wrinkles nor other signs of aging and when she stands next to Red Velvet's maknae, Yeri, who is 23, there is no visible age gap.

Despite her age, she perfectly executed Red Velvet's cute concepts, proving she could easily pass off as a high schooler.
