Jimin was 17 years old when he debuted but looked even younger!

Although he still has the baby face in there somewhere, he has grown into a real man!

 

3. V (BTS)

V was also 17 years old when he debuted and he looked like a real cutie back then!

That cute face, however, has become a beautiful, handsome face. He was even named the most handsome face of 2018!

 

4. Cha Eunwoo (ASTRO)

Cha Eunwoo was 16 when he debuted and it showed on his face!

Three years later, he has developed a stronger jaw and more pronounced cheekbones that make him look more masculine. Despite the change, he was and still is the visual king!

 

5. BamBam (GOT7)

BamBam debuted with GOT7 when he was 16 years old.

In 2018, he returned to Thailand for the military draft (which he was thankfully exempt from) which proves that he is now a real adult! He’s become a man before our very eyes.

 

6. Taemin (SHINee)
