Pre-debut photos resurfaced, prompting netizens to express their opinions:

"Initially shocked by the first photo, but he doesn't really look like V in the rest of the pictures and videos."

"Feel bad for him. The ARMY might attack him just because he's compared to V."

"Poor kid, having ARMY watch his every move and accusing him for resembling their fav will be a challenge for his career."

"Seems like he's putting effort into emulating V's look and mannerisms."

"Wouldn't have noticed the resemblance if nobody pointed it out."

"OMG, the similarity is eerie. Did he get surgery to look like V? It's not identical, but from certain angles, it's scary."

"Some angles really resemble V, but he also reminds me of actor Choi Sung Hoon."

"It might be the hair and makeup giving off the V vibe."

"I don't see the V resemblance at all."

"In certain angles, he does look like V."

"He seems to have adopted V's style for sure."

"While the first photo surprised me, the rest of the photos and videos don't give off a V vibe."
