K-Pop Star Chops Off Long Hair, Reclaiming His “BTS Jungkook’s Hyung” Nickname
For a while, DAY6‘s Sungjin and BTS‘s Jungkook have been well known as K-Pop lookalikes. It’s just that, over the past few years, Sungjin has worn his hair long, so the resemblance was less noticeable.
But with Sungjin’s brand new haircut ringing in the new year, the Sungjin-Jungkook comparison is back in full swing!
JYP Entertainment Star’s Resemblance To BTS’s Jungkook Suddenly Goes Viral
Sungjin in short hair immediately reminded K-Pop fans of the BTS member…
…dubbing him once again “Jungkook’s hyung.”
- “Are we sure he’s not some distant relative of Jungkook? They really do look alike.”
- “This is so much better!”
- “Well done, seriously.”
- “Oh look, the sexy poodle went to the groomers.”
- “His features really pop now.”
- “Wow, seriously a hundred times better. He could pass as Jungkook’s older brother.”
- “Finally!”
- “Finally!!!”
- “Even the whole ‘growing out his hair, cutting it, and the fans celebrating’ is just like Jungkook, LOL.”
- “So handsome, I’m so happy he cut his hair.”
- “Wow, hairstyles really do make a big difference.”
As for why Sungjin decided to part with his iconic look, he shared with his fans in a live broadcast that he actually had been wanting to cut his hair short for a while.

Why did I cut my hair so short all of a sudden? I’ve been meaning to get it cut for a while, actually. But the styling team told me that there were some looks they wanted to experiment with, so I’ve been holding out for them. Once they were done, chop! I went to get it cut.
