The rest of the members politely introduced themselves to the guests and revealed their real age. When it came time for Jin to make introductions, he claimed that he was the youngest member at 23 years old.
While the other members were shocked at Jin's statement, they were still very supportive of their eldest member's joke. They even said that he looked so young.
However, Jin was unable to keep up the pretense for long. He finally came clean after several minutes. He said that now that he was older, he wanted to look younger.
