The recent re-release of 'Pokemon Bread', which was very popular in the 2000s, is creating a huge craze.

In particular, collecting the 'sticky seals' (stickers that can be put on and taken off) in 'Pokemon Bread' has become a trend, and interest in Pokemon characters has risen accordingly.

Thanks to this popularity, stars resembling Pokémon are also being re-emerged.

Let's meet the stars who are attracting attention because they have the same appearance as the cute Pokemon.

Kim Gu Ra  - Blue

'Blue', with a cute and threatening expression, resembles Kim Gu Ra.

The slightly raised eyes, closed mouth, and plump cheeks are particularly similar, causing laughter from fans.

The character Blue is popular because he is actually quite timid, unlike his mean face.

Jeong Jun Ha - Todogas

Jeong Jun Ha from the so-called 'Bomb Head' days resembles 'Todo Gas'.

The tired expression that is the trademark of Todogas is almost similar to the expression shown by Jeong Jun Ha in MBC's 'Infinite Challenge' and 'High Kick without hesitation'.

Even their round faces are identical, boasting great similarity.

Yang Se Hyung- Kkebi Charm

Yang Se Hyung, who is loved for his cute appearance and sensible talk, looks similar to 'Kaebi Charm'.

The slightly protruding mouth, slender eyes, and small height are especially the same.

Kaebi Cham is one of the characters that is receiving a lot of support by diligently moving its small wings to protect its territory.

Hong Seok Cheon - Digda

'Digda', with its brown skin and cute expression, boasts a high synchronization rate with Hong Seok Cheon.

Thanks to Hong Seok Cheon's smooth skin, there are many sayings that he especially resembles him.

Digda is a Mole-type Pokémon, and it is an indispensable and precious existence in the Pokémon world by properly cultivating the ground.

Jung Hyung Don- Sleep

The Pokemon 'Sleep', which has the concept of living while eating dreams, reminds me of Jung Hyung Don.

Sleep, with a chubby body and smiling eyes, boasts a high synchro rate with Jung Hyung-don.

Sleep is a character with a warm heart that shows the dream he ate the most when he became close.

Kim Woo Bin - Charizard

Kim Woo Bin, who is scheduled to return with his real-life lover Shin Min Ah for tvN's 'Our Blues', is famous for his resemblance to 'Charizard'.

Charizard is the final evolution of 'Pyree' and boasts a large height and solid body shape.

Boasting charming eyes and overwhelming charisma, Charizard has a visual comparable to Kim Woo Bin.

Suga - Ufa

BTS member Suga is a 'right-wing' resemblance that even the eldest brother Jin acknowledged.

Ufa is an attractive Pokémon with cute features and a gentle personality.

The expression on the right side when surprised or smiling is especially the same as that of Suga, making it famous among fans.

IVE is on fire, winning big even when the odds are against them!

On January 30, IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made waves by taking home their fifth music show win with their pre-release song “Rebel Heart.” Despite M Countdown being off the air and replaced with a highlight show, IVE still claimed the top spot for the final week of January.

The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!

This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.

Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."

They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."

“Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.

But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.

Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.

With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
