A Rookie K-Pop Idol Is Making Fans Double-Take With His Resemblance To BTS’s Jungkook

“People jokingly call him [Jungkook’s] son.”

Now that all of BTS‘s members have officially started their military enlistment, some ARMYs are having a hard time coping with not getting regular content or updates on them. It’s definitely going to be a long wait until June 2025 when all of them return, so in the meantime, it might be a good chance to get to know some other K-Pop artists better!

Of course, no one can replace the loveable and talented members of BTS, but one rookie idol has recently been getting quite a bit of attention due to his physical (and behavioral) similarities to Jungkook.

When fellow HYBE Labels artist BOYNEXTDOOR debuted back in May this year, their leader Jaehyun was already drawing attention due to his features being similar to the BTS maknae.

Now that he’s been around for a while longer, though, and K-Pop fans have gotten to know him better, even more people are hopping on the bandwagon of calling him “Jungkook’s son”!

One post in particular that shows Jaehyun smiling a big, gummy smile has gotten enough attention that it became the topic of conversation on an online forum post.

According to comments on the post, it’s a pretty well-liked joke among BTS fans to call Jaehyun Jungkook’s “son” because of their resemblance, and apparently they have similar silly and energetic personalities too! Not to mention, Jungkook is well-aware of Jaehyun and BOYNEXTDOOR, and has even liked his TikTok videos and has their album at home.

Here are more posts sharing how the two idols look, act, and even sound alike!

Do you see the resemblance too?
