Haerin of NewJeans keeps surprising fans with how she looks.

Even though the 16-year-old singer has only been out for a few months, she is already well-known. For example, people often call her a cat because her eyes are turned up.

She has been compared to other things or people more than once. The most recent thing being talked about online is how much she looks like a famous Japanese cartoon character.

The tweet that went viral showed her next to Sawako from the romance manga/anime Kimi Ni Todoke. It was hard to miss how much they were alike!

The most obvious thing was that they both usually had long, black hair and straight bangs. They also have small faces in the shape of a v and big eyes.

Fans pointed out that they both liked to wear white blouses, which showed that even their sense of style was the same.

Last but not least, their auras tie together their similar looks in a nice bow. Both Haerin and Sawako look like the kind of quiet, sweet, and unassuming girl next door that everyone falls in love with the more they see her.

Kimi Ni Todoke is a Japanese romance manga that ran from 2005 to 2017. It was drawn by Karuho Shiina. It tells the love story of Sawako, who is often misunderstood, and Kazehaya, who is popular.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
