“An idol who will turn 25 in 2031”… This idol is the youngest member of a famous rookie girl group
There is an idol who will turn 25 years old only in 2031.
On June 15th, a photo was uploaded on the Facebook page “Time Killing Page (시간 훅가는 페이지)” with the caption “An idol who will turn 25 in 2031”, becoming a hot topic. The post drew keen attention from netizens as soon as it was posted, and the comment section was filled with responses, such as “OMG” and “Unbelievable”.
The main character of this surprising fact is member Leeseo from the famous rookie group IVE. Born in 2007, Leeseo has just turned 16 years old this year and is currently in the third grade of middle school. Leeseo, who used to work in the first generation of SM Kids (2016), was cast on the street by Starship Entertainment in 2019 when she was in the 6th grade of elementary school. After about two years of training, she debuted as a member of girl group IVE in December 2021.
As the youngest member of the group, Leeseo has many nicknames, such as Baby Tiger, Maknaengie, Lees-ging (Baby Leeseo), and Little Leeseo. She is also a member who represents the MZ Generation.
Leeseo has a unique pre-debut history. She appeared on the Youtube channel “MMTG” with IVE members in April and explained the story of when she kissed actress Han Hyo-joo on the street. Jae Jae, the host of “MMTG”, asked Leeseo if she remembered the broadcast of SBS’s “Midnight TV Entertainment” on August 5th, 2009.
On the broadcast, there is a scene where Han Hyo-joo kissed a 3-year-old girl she accidentally met on the street. At that time, Han Hyo-joo found a little girl in her mother’s arms so cute and kissed the girl lightly to show her affection. That little girl is Leeseo, who debuted as a member of the girl group called IVE and is gaining huge popularity 13 years after the broadcast.
Meanwhile, Leeseo’s group IVE will do the first pitch at the KT Wiz vs. Doosan Bears match in the regular season at Jamsil Stadium, Seoul on June 19th.
