60-year-old Kim Ye-ryeong is called 'Aunt' by her grandson—mistaken for a sister by her daughter

While it is hard to believe that actress Kim Ye-ryeong has reached her 60th birthday, she has once again provided surprise with her appearance. Not only does she exude an atmosphere closer to sisters than mother and daughter when standing next to her 38-year-old daughter, but she also revealed a humorous anecdote where she was mistaken for an 'Aunt' by her young grandchild.

On the May 5th broadcast of MBN's 'Body Insight', Kim Ye-ryeong and her daughter Kim Su-hyeon appeared together. Facing the two, MC Kim Ki Ri marveled, saying, "Both of you look so youthful that you don't even look like mother and daughter." When Kim Ye-ryeong revealed her actual age is 60, astonishment erupted once again on set. Daughter Kim Su-hyeon drew even more attention by revealing she is 38 years old and raising two elementary school-aged sons.

There have been more than one or two episodes caused by her mother's extraordinary youthful appearance for Kim Su-hyeon. Kim Su-hyeon confessed that when she went out with her mother during her childhood, people around them mistook Kim Ye-ryeong for an 'Aunt' rather than her mother. There were even cases where people viewed her as Kim Ye-ryeong's youngest sister. She revealed that while she thought these misunderstandings would naturally disappear as time passed, the situation has now evolved to the point where the two are seen as sisters, drawing laughter.

In particular, Kim Su-hyeon lamented, "Now I feel like I'm living at a loss because we are mistaken for sisters." Explaining their relationship as mother and daughter has instead become a part of daily life. Despite being a mother and daughter with a clear age difference, Kim Ye-ryeong's youthful visuals stand out so much that it is difficult to guess their relationship based on looks alone.

The episode involving her grandchild was even funnier. Kim Ye-ryeong revealed that there was a time when her young grandchild saw her after a long time and called her "Aunt." At that moment, the eldest child corrected the younger one by saying, "It's Mommy's mommy!" The grandchild's pure reaction of mistaking a grandmother for an aunt brought laughter, but on the other hand, it made one realize Kim Ye-ryeong's youthful appearance to the point of making people doubt her actual age.

Kim Ye-ryeong stated that she frequently encounters similar reactions from those around her. There are cases where friends or their grandmothers are surprised upon seeing her, asking, "Is she really a grandmother?" She added more laughter by sharing that her grandchildren accept this by saying, "Grandmother is so young," and enjoy it. Even at the age of 60, her appearance, which makes the title 'Grandmother' feel awkward, has naturally become a hot topic.

Born in 1966, Kim Ye-ryeong is 60 years old this year. The husband of daughter Kim Su-hyeon is former baseball player Yoon Suk-min, who played as a star pitcher for the KIA Tigers. As Kim Ye-ryeong, who has been active as an actress for a long time, appeared on a broadcast with her daughter, this time her appearance that seems to have bypassed time and the vivid testimonies of her family drew more interest than her acting career.
