  • Ahn Sung Jae Says a Lookalike App Always Matched Him With BIGBANG’s Taeyang—Even Defconn Couldn’t Ignore It

    Ahn Sung Jae is turning heads with his uncanny resemblance to BIGBANG’s Taeyang—even AI agrees!

    On the March 9 episode of MBC’s Good Day, G-Dragon was seen meeting various people for his new music project.

    During the show, Ahn Sung Jae was asked about his favorite BIGBANG song, to which he replied, "I’ve always been a big fan of Taeyang," naming "Eyes, Nose, Lips" as one of his all-time favorites.

    That’s when Defconn pointed out something unexpected, saying, "Even your eyes, nose, and lips look a lot like Taeyang’s." The moment had everyone on set doing a double take!

    Ahn Sung Jae then shared a fun fact, saying, "When I used a lookalike app as a kid, it always matched me with Taeyang."

    But it wasn’t just his face—his way of speaking also reminded everyone of the singer. To make things even crazier, he added, "Taeyang is actually a regular at my family's restaurant."

    Defconn then playfully asked if he could imitate Taeyang’s famous "Yeoreobun" meme, but Ahn Sung Jae got flustered and laughed, saying, "Me? I’m suddenly starting to sweat," as he quickly grabbed his water, making everyone burst into laughter.

    Fans who watched the episode couldn’t get over the resemblance, with many saying he could pass as Taeyang’s younger brother!
