Netizens talk about the similarities and differences between Korean idols and Japanese idols.

In the Korean entertainment industry, there are a lot of idols and celebrities who look a lot like each other. But are there other famous people outside of Korea who look like Korean idols?

On October 16, a post about a specific Japanese idol began trending on Nate's community board under the title, "Japanese idols who receive KPOP idols' styling versus those KPOP Idols".

The netizen talk about a Japanese girl group called "Equal Love (=Love)" in particular. According to the post, they recently shot their MV in Korea, and Bit&Bot did their hair and makeup.

Their MV screencaps also make them look like Korean idols, while the pictures below them show them looking like Japanese idols.

Last, the netizen who wrote the post stated, "I thought the difference was bigger than it was, but it was smaller than I thought. There are also members who look more like they did before. Some of them do resemble KPOP idols".

The netizen then listed all the photos showing proof that they really look like Korean Idols.

Other netizens quickly responded and shared also their opinions:

I think they look better originally..?

They look better before thought..?

All of them look better with the Japanese styling.

Aside from 1-2 of them, they all looked better before…

They look pretty in both though?!

I'm shocked that the Japanese styling looked better

Usually, girls who have always been good at managing themselves would look pretty no matter what. They are just good at being styled.

Japanese people do look better with Japanese styling

Why come to Korea to go to Bit&Bot…

Bit&Bot though…

What are your thoughts?

EVERGLOW’s Yiren recently made a shocking confession, revealing that she has never received any earnings since debut, leaving fans worried about the group’s future.

On a fan communication platform, Yiren opened up about the harsh reality of being in a girl group, despite being six years into her career. She wrote, “I really love performing on stage, but I have no income at all.”

She continued, “Even so, I don’t want to give up this career. The reality is, we have never received any earnings yet.”

Yiren explained that the group works extremely hard to prepare for their tour performances because they truly want to give fans the best stages. However, she also admitted, “I always feel sorry that we can’t show you more new songs and performances.”

She then dropped a bombshell, saying, “Since debut, I’ve never been paid—not even once. I’m basically a worker with a zero-won salary.” But despite the situation, she reassured fans, “But it’s okay. At least I can still meet our fans (FOREVER) and have opportunities to perform on stage, so I’m fine with it.”

Fans were shocked to hear that EVERGLOW, a group in their sixth year, has yet to receive any earnings. Many are now concerned that the group might disband.

EVERGLOW, a six-member multinational girl group under Yuehua Entertainment Korea, debuted on March 21, 2019, with members E:U, Sihyeon, Mia, Onda, Aisha, and Yiren. They have released several hit songs, including ZOMBIE, SLAY, Pirate, FIRST, and DUN DUN.

In 2023, EVERGLOW wrapped up their U.S. tour, 2023 EVERGLOW US TOUR - ALL MY GIRLS, and made a comeback in June with their fifth single album ZOMBIE, their first release in ten months.

Yiren first gained attention when she appeared on Mnet’s survival show Produce 48, along with fellow member Sihyeon. Now, with her shocking revelation, fans are left wondering what will happen next for EVERGLOW.
