As the years have passed, many idols with mixed backgrounds have gained attention and achieved considerable popularity.

Several “Wasian” (White and Asian) idols known for their visuals include TXT‘s Hueningkai, NJZ’s (NewJeans) Danielle, and SEVENTEEN‘s Vernon.

However, an idol who has recently gained attention for his visuals has been incorrectly identified as one of these idols.

Earlier this year, BIGHIT Music introduced the boy group CORTIS, which includes one member of the former pre-debut group Trainee A.

Recently, the group performed at a football match, and member James attracted a lot of attention due to his visuals. His appearance was even compared to the perfect appearance of the Cullen family from Twilight during the baseball scene.

However, many seemed to be under the conclusion that James’s unique appearance is due to him being mixed or having “European” features.

James, whose birth name is Zhao Yufan, is actually mixed — his mother is Thai while his father is Chinese. He was born in Hong Kong, but raised in Taiwan.

Many fans have commented that this has led to his appearance being what it is, with some citing his resemblance to other Chinese stars.
