10 celebrities you'd never have guessed were the same age (Part Two)

Although most idols--all celebrities, even--are known for their vibrant, youthful energy as well as appearance, there are a couple who look even more innocent, cute, and younger than their age ('dongan' / baby face), so it comes as a surprise when a fan finds out their birth date!  On the other hand, there are some who look more mature and refined for their age ('no-an'), giving off a sophisticated and classy vibe that could rub off on their appearance and make them look older than they really are.

Either way, whether it's just one or both in the cases below, these idols below are gorgeous in their own right and are sure to raise some eyebrows for those who never guessed that they were born in the same year!  Check 'em out.


1986 - Sunny Hill's Misung & Girl's Day's Sojin



1988 - 2PM's Taecyeon & ZE:A's Siwan



1989 - Kim Woo Bin & SHINee's Onew



1989 - EXID's Solji & Girls' Generation's Taeyeon



1990 - SECRET's Hana & Girls' Generation's YoonA



1990 - Hong Jong Hyun & EXO's Xiumin



1991 - B2ST's Dongwoon & BTOB's Minhyuk (1990)

(Those with birthdays late in the year are considered same-age friends as those with early birthdays in the following year.)

1991 - SISTAR's Hyorin & Red Velvet's Irene



1992 - SISTAR's Soyu & Sohee



1993 - Seo Kang Jun & INFINITE's Sungjong




Which one was the most surprising to you?

An acquaintance of Hong Jong Hyun and Nana says that the two are a 'well-known couple'


January 23, 2015 @ 12:35 pm
 

It was recently reported that actor Hong Jong Hyun and Nana were in a relationship for nearly seven months, becoming a controversy due to Hong Jong Hyun's on-air relationship with Girl's Day's Yura on 'We Got Married'. Since then, the two have already released official statements denying that they're in a romantic relationship. 

However, a close acquaintance of Hong Jong Hyun told media outlet Sports DongA that the two are a well-known couple amongst their peers. The acquaintance stated, "Their relationship rumor is already old news. It's somewhat strange that it was only covered just recently." 



The report goes on to quote the acquaintance who went further into how the relationship started. The acquaintance stated, "Hong Jong Hyun and Nana were going through personal issues around the same time. And when the program 'Style Log' ended, Hong Jong Hyun was the first to show interest, and Nana accepted his feelings. In front of their peers, Hong Jong Hyun and Nana would call each other openly, using their names. Hong Jong Hyun calls Nana by her real name, Im Jin Ah. Usually, their dates take place around Gangnam, and they would take walks on the trails.

Lastly, the acquaintance went on to say that (s)he was surprised that the two have denied the reports. The acquaintance stated, "They are both very honest people. They went on dates, and didn't care if others were looking on. So I thought that they would both acknowledge their relationship when the reports came out, but I was surprised that they denied it."

Meanwhile, netizens shared their pity in seeing the relationship reports, saying that Hong Jong Hyun should have not gone on 'We Got Married' for the sake of Yura, Nana, and the program itself. Meanwhile, both sides still denied that they're a couple.

GUYS 7 STRUGGLES ONLY SINGLE GIRLS WILL UNDERSTAND All the single ladies, put your hands up!

Don't get us wrong, we think the single life is totes cool. But there are rare moments (especially when we're PMS-y!) when we just can't deal with these things!
1. Friday nights... There are days when we think that it would be nice to go out and watch a no-brainer film with someone after a looong week. The problem is, most of our friends have planned something already with their boyfriends a.k.a. their default movie dates.

2. ...and weekends. There are also times when we just want to pig out or go some place else on weekends. But again, most of our friends are out and about, sharing meals with their significant others.

3. Getting the question, "When will you finally get a boyfriend?" a lot. The question irritates us because people always think it's necessary to ask this question to those who aren't in a relationship. We're comfortable being all by ourselves, thank you very much.

4. Dealing with matchmaker wannabes. We don't need your help right now when it comes to our love lives. Please allow us to just give you a call and pay for your services if we changed our minds and realize that we want to be set-up with someone.

5. Third wheeling. There's always that friend who can't seem to absorb the fact that when you're inviting her out, the invitation is meant for her alone. There is no need to bring her boyfriend with her.

6. Turning a guy down because he's in a relationship. Okay, we're going to say it. We do get a little lonely sometimes. So when someone finally pays attention, we can't help but thank the heavens for this person. But sometimes that guy who finally noticed you is a d-bag who's actually in a relationship and is trying to drag you into a mess using his sweet lies. Believe us, it takes great amount of strength and self-control to cut the chord.

7. People assuming you're lonely. Some people just can't get it that solitude is actually beautiful and fun. There's no need to feel sorry for us when we'd rather spend our weekends and Friday nights finishing a bag of popcorn while watching a movie inside our rooms. We do feel lonely sometimes, yes, but it's not the end of the world. Hello.

GUYS A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO DEALING WITH HANDSOME GUYS Things don't always have to be so awkward when a handsome guy passes by.

The problem with handsome guys? They think they can just barge into your life, and make you weak in the knees. They have this lasting effect on you, and you'll find yourself grinning like a madman hours after they're out of sight. But not this time, Candy Girls. This time, we're giving you a game plan on how you can stand your ground (or pretend to, at least) when a ridiculously good-looking guy comes your way.
  1. Take a few deep breaths. You know when a handsome guy walks into the room, and it's like this bright light is surrounding him—making him oh-so holy and heaven-sent? That just makes it twice as difficult to ignore him. But before you start hyperventilating and losing your balance, count from one to three, and breathe. Promise, it helps. A little.

  3. Think of something else. By something else, we don't mean think of him while he's wearing another cute outfit or him rocking a new haircut. By something else, we mean thinking of an entirely different thing that will make you forget he exists for a few seconds. Have you finished studying for your final exams yet?

  5. Smile back. If he sees you, says hello, and smiles at you, smile back. Don't grin. Just smile. Grinning will just make things worse. It will give away what you've been trying to hide all this time—his weakening effect on you.

  7. Tuck your hair behind your ear. We don't exactly know why this works, but somehow it does. It calms you down a little whenever you're face to face with Mr. Gorgeous. Gives off an "I'm cool" vibe when we know the truth: you're dying just a little inside.

  9. Turn around, cover your mouth, and say, "Eep!" We totes understand that it's difficult to contain every bit of admiration you have for him, so we're allowing you to have your reaction. Reminder: Do this only when they're about seven feet away. Don't let him hear you or he might think you're either weird or are totally crushing on him (which you are, who are we kidding here).

Disclaimer: This only works when you're dealing with one handsome guy. Try dealing with three (like when you're watching Divergent and Theo James, Miles Teller, and Ansel Elgort are flashed onscreen all at the same time), and you'll find yourself not knowing where you are. For a situation like that, we won't know what to do too.
Good luck on dealing with handsome guys today, Candy Girls!

GUYS 5 THINGS YOU DO WHEN YOUR BROTHER OR YOUR GUY BFF INTRODUCES HIS GIRLFRIEND It can get a little sneaky.


       5 Things You Do When Your Brother or Your Guy BFF Introduces His Girlfriend
Admit it, you've done these things (or at least secretly want to do them!) when your brother or your closest guy pal introduced you to his girlfriend. Not that you want them to call it quits, you're just feeling a bit protective. And that's normal. But remember not to do it so much, okay? Hurting his girl would also end up hurting your brother. And who wants that to happen, right?
  1. You do a background check on the girl. In this day and age, this is just a natural reaction to new (and even old!) people in your life or your loved-ones' lives. You have to know the basics and even her past relationships. In short, you just have to know. Hey, it's your obligation to make sure he is safe within her hands.

  2. You analyze all her posts. Does her latest post seem to be putting your brother in a bad light? Is she just playing with his feelings? Does she rant online whenever they're fighting or having an argument? Again, you have to make sure that she is in no way hurting your brother or your guy BFF.

  3. You give him your (often unsolicited) advice. She didn't just come into his life without thinking that she also has to deal with all the people in his life, right? Of course she should know that you're going to be there for his guy whenever they're fighting, giving him your thoughts on the latest subject of their argument. Just make sure you remind your brother or your guy friend that the choice ultimately rests upon him.

  4. You suddenly become intimidating. You have to put your best foot forward and make sure she's aware of what she's dealing with in case she breaks your friend's heart, which she better not do. Not that you're doing this to scare her off. You're just giving her a very important reminder of what she should or shouldn't do while she's with him.

  5. You spill the deets on your brother or your BFF. But in rare cases or after a few months and years, you get along with his girl and you even spill a few funny anecdotes about him. Of course, you're still protective so you choose the ones that won't harm his reputation. This, or you end up being the girl's BFF and even help her whenever their relationship gets a little difficult.

GUYS 7 LITTLE THINGS GUYS DO THAT MAKE US FEEL KILIG There are little things guys do that they may or may not know we find really sweet.

Whenever guys do these things, they don't know how much we're dying inside of kilig. We sometimes just want to give them hugs and words of appreciation for these little things we love seeing them do, whether for us or for a random lady they encounter somewhere:
1. When they open doors for us. Guys really make us smile whenever they do this, especially when it's not their job or we don't really know them. It kind of feels like we're seeing the guy as Damon Salvatore when he does this for us, promise.

2. When they offer to bring us home. We can't really avoid going home late sometimes, especially if we're finishing projects or doing research in a classmate's house. When guys offer to bring us home and see to it that we get there safe, we very grateful.

3. When they offer us their seats. Or when they offer an old lady their seat. Small acts like this in the LRT/MRT or inside the bus make our hearts happy. Nowadays, we encounter guys who don't mind hitting people whenever they're walking so when someone does this, we somehow believe that all is right in the world again.

4. When they laugh at our lame-o jokes. We know we're not really blessed with funny bones and that we can barely crack a verrry good joke to save our lives, so when guys laugh at one of the funny things we say, we feel overjoyed. Thank you for finding us funny when the truth is we're not, not even a little bit.

5. When they bring us food. You know what's better than stuffed animals and flowers? FOOD. Yup, when our guy or our kuyas bring us food, we're super happy because it saves us all the energy of preparing a good meal ourselves.

6. When they talk to us. Guys rarely talk about their feelings, so when they do, it's quite a big deal for us. It makes us feel that they can trust us and that they believe we can somehow lessen the sadness they're feeling.

7. When they hold our hand. Especially when we're having a bad day. When they lock their fingers in the spaces between ours, we somehow believe that maybe, just maybe things are going to be okay tomorrow or in a few hours or in a few minutes.
