The Traitors Fans Can’t Fans Can’t Believe Eric Nam’s Age: ‘He Needs to Drop His Skincare Routine’
Eric Nam caused quite a stir on social media once The Traitors fans discovered how old he actually is. The Korean musician has been a more low-key presence this season when compared with some other competitors. But, viewers rushed to the Internet to discover that Nam is actually 37 years old! Completely shocking for folks unfamiliar with the star’s work before sitting around that table. But, it’s absolutely true. Nam takes really good care of himself, and it shows judging by all these reactions to this news from folks.
One person on Reddit had to make a thread and the jokes are flying. AuraStardust said, “What…? He looks 25 at MOST. You could’ve told me he was 22 and I would have believed it. Later in the thread /kristennicole94 likened him to a Disney prince. She said, “I saw this on TikTok the couple days after the season premiered and was blown away. So many folks were shocked and that includes /Fluid-Beyond8466. They typed, “I had to go look him up as I didn’t know who he was & was SHOCKED at his age. But, if you look closely, you can see the laugh lines around his eyes that do indicate he’s older than he looks at first glance.”
For a more complete primer on Nam, we turn to /tiddiesnext who laid it all out for us. “He’s most famous in Korea – he was on an x-factor-esque show back in 2012 and debuted in 2013. He’s released a lot of music and is known by a lot of kpop stans. He used to host an english speaking program for kpop idols that was pretty popular in its heyday.”

Actually, he’s not! The 36-year-old is Faithful and working to figure out who in that house can be trusted moving forward.
The next episode of The Traitors US debuts on Thursday at 9pm ET. There’s currently only one new episode a week until the finale graces your TV screens on February 26.
This week, both Caroline Stanbury from the Real Housewives of Dubai and Monet X Change from RuPaul’s Drag Race were murdered by the traitors. It seems the group has only managed to banish one traitor in Donna Kelce. She was selected as the “Secret Traitor” of this season. That poor woman was just a bit too nice to be swimming with sharks around that round table.
