Although Kpop produces many handsome idols, sometimes people cannot help but be surprised because there are similarities between them. Some Kpop idols are even mistaken as twins because there are moments when they look very similar.
The case of V and a Kpop idol preparing to debut below is a typical example. Netizens were stαrtlєd c and surprised because he really looked like V in the newly posted photos. This new idol also quickly emerged as "an other version of V", attracting a lot of attention in recent days.
Here's what fans are talking about about this idol's case:
On December 1, Howling Entertainment announced that their new boy group, WAKER, will debut on January 8, 2024. The group's official accounts on social media platforms have been active for for weeks now and posted many photos of group members.
Among them, one member who immediately received a lot of attention from the au∂ιєnce was Kwon Hyeop. An interesting thing is that fans were stαrtlєd c when looking at the selfie photo of this guy about to debut because they thought it was V but it was actually posted on WAKER's account. Comparing Kwon Hyeop's visual now, it seems like V's visual at the time he had curly, bleached hair.
Not only that, this guy also attracted attention in some other photos and reminded fans of glimpses of other famous кσяєαn celebrities, like actor Kim Joon (film Boys Over Flowers) and Sung Hoon. But among them, he is still considered to have visuals like a similar version of V!
Meanwhile, Kwon Hyeop is not a stranger to the K-Pop world. In 2017, he participated in Produce 101 Season 2 as a trainee of Maroo Entertainment. After being eliminated from the show, Kwon Hyeop parted ways with the management company and announced that he would find a new career path. Then, in 2018, he enlisted to complete his m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service.
After 1 year and 6 months of completing his m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ service, Kwon Hyeop continued to look for an opportunity to debut as an idol. And in 2023, he is now waiting for his debut with WAKER. Now, even before his debut, he has received a lot of attention from netizens about his appearance and has received high expectations.
кσяєαn netizens also shared many of their opinions regarding the similarity in appearance of V and Kwon Hyeop:
- WTF? They’re the same person. They even have the same facial shape! In some of the pictures, he looks more V than V himself. Doppelgangers aren’t supposed to meet. These two should not cross paths, LOL.
- In that one picture, he’s giving more V than V himself does.
- What the h3ck, I thought these were all V pictures.
- Whoa, I see it.
- HUH?!
- Wow. I’m a V stan, and I have to agree.
- OMG, Kwon Hyeop is debuting?! I thought he’d quit after he enlisted. I can’t believe he’s coming back to the scene after finishing his service.
- I was convinced these were all V’s pictures while scrolling through. Produce 101 Season 2 was ages ago. Took him so long to debut!
- What a pleasant surprise to see Kwon Hyeop trend like this… I wish him the best.
- Such an uncanny resemblance!
- BTS’s V fan here, and I think they look very much alike. Haha.
- Wait, that one picture is uncanny. In other pictures, though, I think he look more like Sung Hoon.
- Oh, wow. That one picture got me good, haha. I’m a V stan, and for a second, I was like, ‘When did V take a picture like this?!’ LOL.
- They look so much alike, this is so cool! Haha.
- His eyes remind me a bit of Kangta, too.
- In certain angles, fine. I admit I see it, too. LOL.
- Whoa, what the heck?!
- I thought this was a trick post with V’s pictures.
- I was so convinced that one picture was BTS’s V.
