ZEROBASEONE’s Ricky Goes Viral For Looking Just Like A Beloved Webtoon Character
Webtoon True Beauty‘s second male lead, Han Seo Jun’s character design, was reportedly inspired by GOT7‘s Jay B.
Yet, Hwang In Youp (also romanized as Hwang In Yeop) portrayed him in the K-Drama adaption.
Despite two men already coming to mind when we visualize Seo Jun, another is being compared to him.
ZEROBASEONE‘s Ricky has long been praised for his stunning visuals. Netizens often generally describe him as looking like a vampire or a manhwa character who has come to life.
Yet, some now say Ricky looks almost identical to the original Webtoon character design of Han Seo Jun in True Beauty. One post went viral with 613K views at the time of writing, saying, “why is he Han Seojun irl.”

Some have also suggested that the newly released anime version of Han Seo Jun resembles Ricky.

Some ZEROSEs have suggested that while Ricky looks like Han Seo Jun, Kim Jiwoong looks like Su Ho. They suggest if True Beauty ever were to make another (preferably a BL version), the two should be cast as the leads.
