5th Gen Idol Earns Attention For Resembling Two Fellow K-Pop Artists

Fantiago Entertainment, home of K-Pop groups Weki Meki and ASTRO, debuted their newest idol group, LUN8, in June 2023.

The eight-member boy group is the company’s first new idol group in six years, and they’re already earning attention for their talent and handsome visuals.

One of the group’s talented members has recently earned attention after a viral post on a Korean online community board.

On January 16, a netizen posted images of veteran idol Kim Jaejoong‘s photos from his debut-era days promoting with TVXQ.

The images circulated as the original poster (OP) felt that LUN8 Dohyun‘s handsome visuals resembled Kim Jaejoong’s, who is considered one of K-Pop’s “OG visuals.”

While the TheQoo post gained nearly 70,000 views, the comment section was divided about who LUN8’s Dohyun resembled. Some felt he looked similar to Jaejoong from certain angles and in specific photos, while others found more of a similarity between Dohyun’s visuals and NCT Jaemin‘s.
