K-pop fans seem to love finding similar-faced idols in the entertainment industry. Even that actually happens sometimes when idols with similar facial expressions and physiques cause slight confusion.
Jungkook is no exception when many fans have discovered many other young idols with similar facial expressions. But perhaps no one could have imagined that the wife of a kσrєαn actor could have the most similar face to Jungkook.
Below are photos and posts about this hot topic on Theqoo when actor Shim Hyung-tak first revealed the face of his ̾j̾a̾p̾a̾nese fiancée and, coincidentally, she was said by netizens to be too similar to Jungkook:
Talking about how one person resembles the other is indeed a bit odd because each person is born with a different identity. No one is 100% the same. Even each person's beauty is different and of course, Jungkook is also a unique visual.
However, sometimes fans or netizens also enjoy seeing the visuals that idols have in common. For example, Sungjin DAY6 has a face so similar to Jungkook that people once thought it was Jungkook's brother. While Golden Child's Y or IVVY's Hiroto were commented to look like Jungkook when he was 16-17 years old.
And recently, netizens even laughed in surprise when they discovered a girl who looks similar to Jungkook. Specifically, on the 11th, a post titled "Shim Hyung-tak's ̾j̾a̾p̾a̾nese wife, many say she resembles BTS's Jungkook" was posted on the online community Theqoo.
The post then quickly caught the attention of netizens and ARMYs with pictures of Shim Hyung-tak and his soon-to-be bride Saya Hirai, 18 years younger than him. The couple appeared on TV Chosun's 'Joseon Lover' to talk about their love across borders and their age gap.
In the photo, Shim Hyung-tak's future wife surprised viewers by showing off an innocent look as she came out of a cartoon. With her cute round face and pure beauty and flawless skin, many netizens were quick to humorously confirm that she and Jungkook look incredibly similar.
Netizens who saw the photo of Hyung-tak's future wife reacted explosively:
