We’re all familiar with the saying “Asian don’t raisin,” and while it might not be applicable to all of us, the internet is convinced that this 50-year-old politician from Korea is proof of that adage. Meet Kim Han Kyu, a Member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. Tiktok content creator Byran Jun recently uploaded a video about the lawmaker and the internet is in awe at how he’s managed to age so gracefully.

“This guy Kim Han Kyu, who recently won an election, is 50 years old, born in 1974, three years younger than my dad, [but] he looks younger than me,” exclaimed Bryan. “I searched this guy up, I was like ‘This has to be one of those Korean photoshops. Maybe he took his picture 10 years ago’, Even then, when he was 40, [he looked] younger than me. Every picture I find of him, he looks like–I look old, I know that, but like, this guy’s 50!”
As of writing, the video about the Jeju Island representative now has over 828,000 views on TikTok and over 100,000 likes. Netizens couldn’t help but be amazed themselves, prompting them to ask what the secret could be behind his youthful looks.

SHOP: Skincare Products That Will Help You Age Gracefully
The most common signs of aging include skin sagging and wrinkling due to loss of collagen, pigmentation, and dryness. The solution then is to look for pro-collagen ingredients, brightening, hydrating, and strengthening. Ahead, we’ve listed five skincare products that help provide these skin benefits.
Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream
Ginseng is one of the top ingredients in the K-beauty world and Sulwhasoo’s Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream is one of the top-of-mind products for well aging. This ginseng cream is powered by Ginsenomics, an ingredient that enriches the ginsenoside called Compound K, which protects the skin’s collagen, keeps the skin moisturized and plump by holding and promoting hyaluronic acid, and reduces and prevents inflammation from itching and redness by 6,000 times.
