Yet, some thought the logo looked a lot like an iconic K-Pop idol: ATEEZ‘s Seonghwa. Many K-Pop fans noticed the uncanny similarities, as he is currently rocking a bob.

One even pointed out that Seonghwa translates to “Torch.” His name also means “to be a star.”
It’s been an ongoing joke that Seonghwa is the Olympic torch. Now, it’s really true!
who else remembers when you used to search seonghwa’s name on google you’d get mainly images of the old soccer manager and the olympic torch? cause not anymore.
