How old do you think this "boy" is? Would you believe me if I told you that this boy is actually a 26-year-old man?
Meet Shin Hyomyung, a man whose medical condition has shocked the world. Born with Highlander Syndrome, this condition slows down the aging process, which allows Shin to keep a very youthful, boyish appearance despite his actual age. Complete with chubby cheeks and a higher pitched voice, Shin barely looks a day over 12 years old. In fact, Shin has yet to go through puberty!
Despite looking like a young boy, Shin enjoys plenty of older pleasures, such as taking shots and admiring his poster of a pin-up Scarlett Johannson in his room. He even hits the nightclubs often, resulting in a lot of confusion for bouncers until he pulls out his ID card to prove his age. (They're probably confused even then, to be honest.)
Fortunately, the doctors have told him that he will live a healthy life regardless of the condition. We're happy to hear that!
