A few nights ago, I was at home scrolling through my phone watching videos when a question suddenly popped into my head: Who is older, Ruby Chan or Aumye? To be honest, I had never really thought about it before. Both of them are pretty popular online—one likes to share her life, while the other often posts outfit content—but I’ve always wondered how old they actually are.
At first, I thought it would be easy to find out with a quick search. So I put my phone on the sofa, sat up straight, and prepared to do some serious research.
Step 1: Look for clues on social media
The first place that came to mind was Instagram. Nowadays, many people write their birthdays on their profiles or post photos celebrating their birthdays. So I opened Ruby Chan’s account first.
I scrolled down her homepage slowly, looking at each photo one by one. There were photos of her traveling by the beach, selfies while eating, and group photos with friends. They all looked happy, but I didn’t see any that said “Today is my birthday” or anything like that. I then clicked on her profile to see if she had listed her birthdate.All I saw were some links and emojis, such as ✨, 💄, and 📍. There was no useful information.
Next, I switched to Aumye’s account. I did the same thing, scrolling through her posts one by one. Most of her posts were outfit photos, and sometimes she would post short videos introducing skincare products. Her style was quite refined, but she didn’t mention her age either. Her bio didn’t say anything about her birthday, only some information about brand collaborations.
Now I was a little confused. I thought it would only take a few minutes, but I couldn’t find any clues.
Start guessing their ages based on feelings
Since I couldn’t find any direct information, I started guessing. This method isn’t very reliable, but I was pretty serious about it at the time.
I compared their recent photos side by side. I looked at their skin condition, facial structure, and eye expressions… I even paid attention to their facial expressions and tone of voice when they spoke. I felt that Ruby Chan looked more composed, speaking slowly and deliberately, like someone who’s been through a lot. Aumye, on the other hand, spoke quickly, dressed fashionably, and gave off a youthful, energetic vibe.
But later, I realized that these judgments were too subjective. The lighting, makeup, and filters used in photos can all make people look different. Maybe Ruby was just tired that day, so she looked more mature; maybe Aumye was particularly excited when the photo was taken, so she looked younger. Judging age based on appearance is completely unreliable.
I searched online, but all I found was a mess of information
I wasn’t giving up, so I opened a search engine and typed in keywords like “Ruby Chan age” and “how old is Aumye.” The results that popped up confused me even more.
Most of them were posts written by fans, some saying that Ruby is three years older than Aumye, while others said that Aumye is actually older, by one year.
But none of these claims had any sources. No one said, “I heard this in an interview,” and no one posted any evidence. It was just people saying whatever they wanted, and then others repeating it.
I also went to a forum and saw people arguing. One person insisted that Ruby was born in the early 1990s, while another refuted that Aumye wasn’t that young. It made my head spin. This argument was completely meaningless because no one had any real evidence.
Finally found a reliable source of information
Just as I was about to give up, I remembered something: Ruby Chan had once appeared on a talent agency’s official website. I remembered seeing her profile page before, so maybe there would be some information there.
So I searched again, this time adding the keywords “Ruby Chan official profile.” After flipping through a few pages, I finally found her name on what looked like an official company website.I clicked on it and found her basic information, which included her year of birth: 1992!
I perked up. If this information was true, then she should be around 31 years old (based on the current year, 2024).
With this breakthrough, I started looking for information about Aumye again. I remembered that she had recently collaborated with a skincare brand, so maybe there would be clues in the related press releases.
Sure enough, in a promotional article from two years ago, she said, “I’m already in my mid-twenties, so I can’t just use any skincare products like I did when I was a student.” The article was published in 2022. That means she was 25 or 26 at the time. Based on that, she should have been born in 1996 or 1997.
So, she’s probably around 26 or 27 now.
Final conclusion: Ruby Chan is older
Let’s compare the two results:
- Ruby Chan: born in 1992 → 31 years old in 2024
- Aumye: born around 1997 → around 27 years old in 2024
So the answer is clear: Ruby Chan is about four to five years older than Aumye.
This experience taught me one thing
I spent nearly an hour looking at so many photos, scrolling through so many web pages, and watching fans argue, only to discover that the truly useful information was hidden in those inconspicuous official documents and old interviews.
We always like to rely on what we see and guess based on our feelings, but these things are easily deceiving. Lighting, makeup, and emotions can all change a person’s appearance.Real data, however, is often hidden in places no one notices—like company websites, old news articles, and brand collaboration materials.
Next time I encounter a similar issue, I won’t waste time comparing who has more wrinkles when they smile or whose hairstyle makes them look older. I’ll go straight to reliable sources, even if they seem boring.
After all, finding the truth isn’t about who can look longer, but who can look in the right places.
