K-pop Idol Lookalikes: Which Idols Look Like Henry, Yoona, Daesung, and EXO Kai?


Almost all K-Pop fans have had that moment of doing a double-take on some of Korea's best idols when they first made their debut... "Wait, doesn't he look just like [fill in the blank]?"
We've compiled some of the most talked-about doppelgangers in this article, including Super Junior-M's HenryGirls' Generation's YoonaBig Bang's Daesung, and EXO's Kai.
Which other K-pop stars bear a striking resemblance to these idols?

Henry, who recently made his solo debut with "Trap," has been mentioned by many fans that say he bears a similar resemblance to JJ Project's JB and rookie singer Roh Ji-Hoon.
Since all three of them have relatively small yet fierce eyes, a high nose, and round lips, it's no wonder that fans would confuse the three! Not to mention that Henry, JB, and Roh Ji-Hoon have had the same hairstyle, and their face shapes are also similar.
JJ Project's JB made his debut as an actor in "Dream High 2," and joined Jr. to form a duo called JJ Project. Their first song "Bounce" garnered much interest among fans.
Roh Ji-Hoon first gained attention as a contestant from MBC "Birth of a Great Star," and he released his debut song "Punishment" at the end of last year.
As the three of them look so similar, can you tell who's who in the pictures?

Another trio that has often been confused due to their resemblance is none other than Yoona,Seohyun, and Yuri in Girls' Generation.
As the three have a similar image and are all beautiful members of the girl group, fans of Girls' Generation probably spent quite a while distinguishing between them when they first debuted!
Yoona, Seohyun, and Yuri, who heard that many Japanese fans often confuse the three of them, even recorded a video to address their similarity. The Girls' Generation triplets exclaimed, "We're different!"

Big Bang's Daesung and solo singer K.Will have also been said to look very much alike. On an episode of SBS "Night After Night," the two appeared on the show and even Daesung admitted, "We really do look a lot like each other."
Daesung joked as he spoke about K.Will, saying "We really do look a lot like each other. It feels like I am looking at my future self when I see him...Can you please remove the mirror? It's confusing me!"
EXO's Kai has also been known to look like SHINee's Taemin. Not only do their nose and lips look similar, Kai and Taemin both have amazing dance skills.
Kai is currently promoting with the rest of EXO with their title song, "Wolf," and Taemin has been appearing on "We Got Married" with virtual wife, Naeun.

What do you think? Do you know of any other K-pop idol doppelgangers?

Lee Joon admits he and Oh Yeon Seo haven't kept in touch




Lee Joon admitted that he hasn't really kept in touch with his former on-screen wife Oh Yeon Seo after their 'We Got Married' days.

Last year, Lee Joon had been an unintended victim when the Oh Yeon Seo-Lee Jang Woo scandal broke out, since he was the 'husband' of the actress on 'We Got Married' at the time. The on-screen couple ultimately stepped down from the show due to 'schedule issues', following a mysterious message Lee Joon wrote on his fancafe that left fans wondering if he was referring to his marriage on 'We Got Married.

On the 10th's episode of Mnet's 'Beatles Code 2', in reference to these past issues, Shindong asked him, "Did you get over the difficult situations? ". Lee Joon seemed a little confused at first, responding, "What? The difficult..situations?". Shindong continued, "You received a lot of pain". It wasMir who understood the reference first as he burst into laughter, and Lee Joon was only seconds behind, laughing himself.

Shindong asked, "Do you contact Oh Yeon Seo?", and Lee Joon stammered,"Uh..Well.. We don't really contact each other.

Shindong explained why he brought up the topic, stating, "Weren't you affected negatively by it?". Lee Joon looked a bit confused about how he should respond, murmuring, "Well, I guess in a way, yes..."

"So after all that,you had to step down from the program," Shindong said. However, although the MCs might have thought the situation was 'difficult', Lee Joon revealed that the couple ending their run was actually good timing for him, as he stated, "But back then, I was filming my movie, so I think it ended at a good time as I was able to focus on my movie."

Best K-pop Group Costumes of All Time

There's something about a big group wearing matching outfits that really tickles my pickle. The outfits always look so ridiculously tacky and awesome at the same time that a part of me hopes that K-pop stylists never stop doing this trend. Here are some of my favorite stylishly tacky group outfits of all time!
When 2PM's "Again & Again," his airwaves, I specifically remember being entranced mostly by the group's getup. They were always matching, always two-toned, and were always influenced by JY Park's fashion sense. In other words, they were so incredibly tacky that they were simultaneously one of the best group costumes ever designed for a boyband. Let's take a look at some of the best:
KARA's "Mister" outfits were sexy, fun, and different to say the least. They always rocked the heck out of those suspender construction worker pants and their costume makers did an insanely excellent job in coming up with different colored pants to match their cropped tops. Let's take a look at some of the best:
Girls' Generation never fail to be the queens of stage outfits but their best outfits so far were for their single, "Mr. Taxi," solely because it definitely filled the fetish fantasies of older male SONEs all over the world. But since they are the reigning majesties of female stage outfits, let's look at some of our favorites:
After School's hit song, "Because of You," had some serious business suit chicness going on. Whether they were dressed in bold two-toned suits or patterned ones, the girls always managed to look office sexy and sophisticated. Take a look at some of the outfits here:

The film surpassed the record held by "The Host," which opened with 450,000 tickets and Kim Soo Hyun's previous movie, "The Thieves," which sold 436,596 tickets on its opening day.

He is sent to South Korea spy and pretends to be a not-too-bright young man. Because he appears to be so helpless, older woman cares for him and treats him like her adopted son.
One of the other spies is Lee Hae Rang, played by Park Ki Woong. He pretends to be an idol hopeful, but he can't play the guitar. He is really the son of a high-ranking North Korean official. Ri Hae Jin, played by Lee Hyun Woo, is the youngest secret agent in North Korean history, so he pretends to be a student. The three young men enjoy their covert lives in South Korea, waiting for their final orders to arrive. What they don't know is that their mission has been cancelled and they have been declared expendable. To prevent these spies from falling into the wrong hands, someone is sent to find and eliminate them.
All three actors have excellent kdrama credentials.
Kim Soo Hyun is best known to kdrama fans for his role as King Lee Hwon in "The Moon Embracing the Sun." He also starred in the musical drama "Dream High," appeared in "Giant," and "Will it Snow for Christmas."
Park Ki Woong won a "Best Supporting Actor" award for his performance as Kimura Shunji in "Bridal Mask," played Won Jang Hwi in "Full House, Take 2," and Yoo Jin in "The Musical."
Lee Hyun Woo played the young Kim Yushin in "Queen Seonduk," the young Kim Sun Woo in "Man From The Equator" and Cha Eun Gyul in "To The Beautiful You."
