K-Pop Idol and Emerging Actress Play Siblings, Sparking Viral Buzz Over Their Striking Similarity

WOODZ is making headlines—not for music this time, but for his look-alike moment with actress Jung Hoe Ryn.

The buzz started on February 20, 2026, at a press screening for the mystery short film Slide Strum Mute. WOODZ and Jung Hoe Ryn were both there, promoting the movie. Photos of the two quickly caught attention online because of their uncanny resemblance.

Netizens pointed out everything from their eye shapes and nose bridges to full lips and jawlines. Some joked they could easily pass as siblings in a K-Drama.

“They look even more alike than real siblings LOL.”
“Wow, they really look like brother and sister.”
“What? The moment I clicked on the post I burst out laughing LOL they seriously look like siblings.”

The comparison got hotter as netizens noticed their similar hairstyles and minimal makeup, which amplified the lookalike effect.

Some doubted they weren’t related at all, even suggesting they might be twins or distant relatives.

“Are we sure they’re not related??”
“No matter how I look at it, they look like blood relatives?????”
