Singer Chae Yeon credited genetics and consistent self-care as the secrets to her youthful looks.
Chae Yeon appeared as a guest on SBS Love FM’s ‘Yoo Min-sang’s Hungry Radio’ on the 27th.
Regarding her youthful appearance, Chae Yeon laughed and said, “Many people ask me for the secret, but they seem to get upset when I answer.” She added, “Actually, there is no special secret; I just have good genetics.” She further revealed, “My mother’s skin is even better than mine. It’s firm and has almost no wrinkles,” while admitting, “I do go to the dermatologist. Recently, as I’ve gotten older, the number of visits has increased a bit.”
Chae Yeon also shared an experience of being mistaken for a teenager. She said, “A foreign friend, perhaps because they aren’t good at gauging the age of Asians, thought I was around 17.” Hearing this, Yoo Min-sang expressed his admiration, saying, “I can understand why they’d think you’re 17. I was surprised because you had such a girl-like vibe when you walked in.”
Yoo Min-sang then caused a stir by revealing, “I was debating whether to say this, but Chae Yeon said it’s okay. Actually, Chae Yeon is one year older than me. I’m the younger one.” Chae Yeon, born in 1978, is 47 years old, while Yoo Min-sang, born in 1979, is 46.
Yoo Min-sang added, “I think many listeners will be shocked. It’s hard to believe because she looks so young.”
Chae Yeon previously mentioned her beauty secrets on another show, stating, “I live my life forgetting my age, so I don’t really know how old I am.” She added, “I think the biggest secret is that I’m a bit immature and live with a young mindset.” She also noted, “I exercise, eat well, sleep well, and get moderate procedures.”
