Dating Show Contestant Sparks Heated Debate Over Resemblance To BTS Member
A dating show contestant has gone viral over his supposed resemblance to BTS‘s Jimin.
The latest episode of the SBS Plus dating show I Am Solo introduced new contestants, with the first person appearing on screen being a man named Youngsu.
As he got out of the car and made his way to the accommodation for the cast members, the panel members Lee Yi Kyung and Song Hae Na praised his visuals and well-exercised body.
However, it was Deafconn‘s comment that sparked the biggest reaction. The rapper remarked, “Doesn’t he look like a very tired version of BTS Jimin from afar?” The other panel members immediately burst into laughter, with Lee Yi Kyung saying he could see what Deafconn meant.

The clip has since gone viral on Korean online forums, with netizens debating the accuracy of Deafconn’s assessment.
- “After looking at him for a while, I think they’re completely different. But when I first saw him, I kind of understood what they’re talking about, lol.”
- “Not the body, but I think the face has that vibe. I’m a fan of a different group, but I can see what people mean by saying he looks like him.”
- “If you remove his eyebrows, his face has the same vibe, but only in slow motion.”
- “Whoa. They do look alike.”
- “I was watching yesterday’s broadcast, and at first I didn’t see it, but the more I watched, the more it really felt like him.”
