Your choice of topics always amazes me. Recently one of my 23 yr old friends went to a K-pop concert in Boston, MA. She told me the name of the group, Lucy, which at my age I had never heard of, so I looked them up. They looked VERY young, so I continued on to see what the singers' ages were. It turns out they were between 28 and 32 yrs. My young friend's mother said it all. She asked her daughter why she was going to a concert by 13 year olds. It made me chuckle; I was happy to know I wasn't the only one who thought the 30 year old men looked like teen agers.
I don't think many Korean people know who Lucy is. They're an indie band that came through an audition a few years back with a different lead singer. Anyway, that remark about "13-year olds concert" DID give me a pretty good laugh.
There were cases of uncomfortable confrontations that are kind of funny because some Koreans look a lot younger than they really are. You see, there are conservative adults in their 50s and 60s who will walk up to minors and forcefully tell them to stop, military style, whenever they see them smoking in the backstreets. And then, these "minors" would come back with, "I'm 30." Uncomfortable tension there, and funny when seen from afar.
I got carded once at Trader Joe's buying a bottle of wine when I was 48. I thanked him profusely that day.
