Japanese YouTuber and Harajuku Model Is Going Viral in Korea For Looking Like NCT Taeyong
Kondo Youji is a Harajuku fashion model, Youtuber, actor, singer and apparently NCT Taeyong’s Japanese Doppelganger.
Youji is already gaining popularity in Japan for all of his different activities but not he’s also gaining popularity in Korea for a different reason.
He has gone viral in Korea after fans noticed how much he looks like NCT’s Taeyong…
And the similarities are definitely there!
This overseas popularity has, naturally, taken Youji by surprise, and he recently tweeted asking why he had become popular in Korea.
