Following in the footsteps of senior influencer Moon Lin,Wan Ji and Sho-Er, an elderly couple from Taichung, have become an overnight sensation on Instagram.
Their account, which was created less than a month ago, has already accumulated over 50,000 followers, of which over 14,500 followers are foreigners.
These followers are also sharing the couples’ retro outfits on Reddit and other social media platforms, making them one of the most trendy and charming couples in the world.
Wanji and Sho-Er, aged 83, 84, have been married for 60 years. They have run “Wan Sho Laundry” in Taichung’s countryside for nearly 70 years.
However, the grandson couldn’t bear to see his grandma and grandpa getting bored at work, and wanted to make use of the many clothes that customers have abandoned in the shop of the last decades.
To this end, he decided to create an Instagram account for grandparents through which he shared their daily outfits.

In one of the photos, grandma is wearing a leather hat, a white and brown outfit, andLoafersshoes, which echoes her grandfather’s white shirt and black shoes.
In response to the chic pictures, many commented: “They are so adorable!”
值得一提的是，萬秀身上的衣服還開放訂購，幫舊衣找到新主人！
Besides, the couple’s clothes are open for sale, helping old clothes find new owners!

Also, to help his grandparents understand what IG “followers” means, the grandson used an analogy, saying: “10,000 followers equals 10,000 people subscribing to a newspaper.”
On Tuesday, the number of followers exceeded 70,000, and the grandparents recorded a special video on Instagram to say thank you in Chinese, English, and Japanese.
孫子在IG帳號介紹，「萬吉秀娥就算84歲，還是可以 as young」。
