Lim Ji-yeon Regrets Her Age Comment from Three Years Ago: "I Don’t Know Why I Said Something Like That..."

[Sportschosun Reporter Jo Yoon-sun] Actress Lim Ji-yeon said she regretted a remark she made on "You Quiz on the Block" three years ago.

On the 14th, tvN (Total Variety Network) released a video with the caption, "Who was it that said, 'I want to age quickly and beautifully!' ... Lim Ji-yeon declares she refuses to have a birthday under the merciless passage of time."

In the video, Yoo Jae-suk began by saying, "When Lim Ji-yeon appeared on 'You Quiz on the Block' three years ago, she said she wanted to age quickly and beautifully."

After winning widespread love for the dramas "The Glory" and "Lies Hidden in My Garden," Lim Ji-yeon appeared on "You Quiz on the Block" in 2023 and said, "I want to become an actress whose wrinkles look beautiful as she gets older. I want to age quickly and beautifully."

Looking back on what she had said at the time, Lim Ji-yeon admitted, "I don't know why I said something like that. Time is moving too fast." She added honestly, "I said I wanted to age beautifully and quickly, but now I really want to age slowly." She then said, "It's so fast that I'm scared now."

She also drew laughter by saying, "I hope next year doesn't come. My birthday is coming soon, and I hope it doesn't arrive. I'm not even happy about my birthday anymore," showing a complete change in attitude.

Yoo Jae-suk responded with strong empathy, saying, "Back in the day, when I asked senior actors, 'If I may ask, how old are you this year?' some would say, 'Why would you ask something like that, you rascal?' and others would say, 'It's been a long time since I forgot my age.' But now that I'm this age, I understand why they said that back then."
