Narsha reveals her real age because of Seo In Young
It was reported last week that Narsha was actually two years older than what everyone knew. She had revealed on a recording of Strong Heart (Kang Shim Jang) that she was 29, instead of 27 which everyone thought it was.
(note: In Korea, we add 1 year to age)
That was finally aired on the 20th where Narsha revealed, "This is the first time I am revealing this since my debut four years ago. When I debuted, I said that I was born in 1983 (meaning that she is 27). But I am actually going to be 30 next year. I was born in 1981 and I took off my real age by two when I did my profile. I am going to be 30 just like Jang Nara and Park Ye Jin (both were on the same show) next year."
As for the reason on revealing her real age now as opposed to other times, Narsha explained that it was because of Jewelry's Seo In Young.
Narsha said, "We (Brown Eyed Girls) met Jewelry backstage at a music show recently. As they were next to perform, we greeted them out of courtesy. But to my shock, Seo In Young (born in 1984) petted my head like I was a cute girl. I felt that Seo In Young must have feel that she was older than me. So I called Park Jung Ah to find out about In Young's age but she told me to forget about it, since In Young does that to her too. So I decided that I had to reveal my real age."
Seo In Young's embarassment continued as someone asked immediately, "Are you of the same age as 2NE1's Sandara Park then?", to which she replied with annoyance, "YES!". Seo In Young was annoyed since she doesn't look as young as Sandara although they were born in the same year.
Many thanks to David Park for additional information.
