SM Entertainment’s Male Rookies Spark Heated Reactions For Uncanny Facial Similarity

SM Entertainment‘s rookie trainee group members are going viral across online communities, but it might not be for a good reason.

Recently, a picture featuring multiple members of the pre-debut team called SMROOKIES garnered quite the attention of Korean netizens.

The photo, taken from the side, gave a clear view of the members’ side profiles. The OP (original poster) exclaimed at how similar all the members’ noses were, joking that SM Entertainment must have picked their trainees based on the nose shape.

The post has since gone viral and has been re-shared in other online communities. Many netizens were harsh with their opinion on this particular facial similarity, joking that they all went to the same hospital to get their noses retouched.

• “The same hospital.”
• “Did the agency bring them in just for their nose or what?”
• “Guess they all went to the same hospital.”
• “Yeah lol, the T-zone totally gives away plastic surgery.”

Some of the netizens tried to defend the members against such claims, but they were overwhelmingly outnumbered.
