K-Pop Backup Dancer And “Single’s Inferno” Star Cha Hyun Seung Gets Mistaken For Jay Park
Cha Hyun Seung is a famous face in K-Pop even though he is not an idol himself.
He is most often recognized as the viral backup dancer for Sunmi, although he has been a backup dancer for nearly every K-Pop act.
And recently, he appeared as a contestant on Netflix‘s hit dating reality show Single’s Inferno.
Sunmi and BTOB‘s Changsub are actually the ones who convinced him to go on the show!
I also want to thank Sunmi and Changsub for convincing me to go on the show even though I didn’t want to. They told me that I might meet the right person on the program.

Yet, not everyone recognizes him…
Recently, ENHYPEN posted a video on TikTok featuring Cha Hyun Seung doing the “ParadoXXX Invasion” choreography. They frequently have guests appear on their account, with them participating in their TikTok dance challenges.
@enhypen 실제로 보니 더 멋지신 #차현승 님🙌 감사합니다! #ENHYPEN #JUNGWON #HEESEUNG #CHAHYUNSEUNG #멋져챌린지 #ParadoXXXInvasionChallenge #ParadoXXXInvasion
Naturally, the video featuring Cha Hyun Seung went viral with over 4 million views at the time of writing. However, most didn’t recognize the famous K-Pop dancer.
Everyone in the comment section, except for a few people wondering if it was “the guy from Single’s Inferno,” thought it was Jay Park at first!
Jay Park too recently appeared with ENHYPEN on their TikTok account. He did two of their dance challenges, “TFW (That Feeling When)” and “Future Perfect (Pass the MIC).”

These videos have gone viral with 3.9M and 10.4m views, respectively. Jay Park’s dancing has in itself become a meme on the video-sharing app.

Many netizens clowned Jay Park’s dancing in the videos. He receives criticism anytime he collaborates with K-Pop idols.
Regardless, do you see similarities between Jay Park and Cha Hyun Seung?
