While some netizens seemed reluctant to see the resemblance at first, especially from just seeing the two names together, their thoughts changed after seeing the photos. In the comments, netizens pointed out the similarities in their features, pointing out that they could be siblings.

• “Both of their noses are straight and have a brightness in their eyes.”
• “They look alike.”
• “Their eyebrow shape, small face, and jawline are similar…they could be brother and sister.”
• “They look similar.”
• “Oh, they do look similar. I see what you’re saying.”
• “They do look alike.”
• “It’s only a slight difference between a good-looking girl and a boy.”

Although the resemblance isn’t as obvious as other comparisons, there’s no doubt that they could easily pass as siblings with the same charisma and structure in their facial expressions.
