Some of these look-alikes are cosplayers who go out of their way to pay tribute to the star, while others just happen to look like Jungkook’s long-lost twins.

Recently, the 28-year-old Japanese wife of actor Shim Hyung Tak joined the list of Jungkook look-alikes. This non-celebrity is reminding many ARMYs of Jungkook, not so much now, but when he debuted at age 15 back in 2013.

Shim Hyung Tak’s wife took us back to Jungkook’s past, but another look-alike is now giving us a glimpse at his future.

Japanese actress and model Miyako Takayama was born in 1982, making her 15 years older than Jungkook. Some J-Drama fans might recognize her from the 2008 show Rookies or the 2012 movie Joshi Camera.

For the most part, Miyako Takayama’s resemblance to Jungkook has gone unnoticed, but a few ARMYs have, over the years, pointed out their similarities.

Although this beautiful actress hasn’t appeared in any recent movies or television series, she still models and regularly posts updates about her life on Instagram.

This includes videos and photos from her wedding. Miyako Takayama and her husband tied the knot last November.

In conclusion, this unlikely look-alike’s latest photos tell us what we already know; Jungkook is destined to age gracefully!
