Additional images of the upcoming boy group from Big Hit Music are circulating online, catching the attention of K-pop enthusiasts and internet users.
There is one particular member of the new group that is gaining popularity for resembling both Cha Eun Woo and NCT's Jaehyun. Several pictures of this trainee were posted on a popular online platform with the caption "Big Hit's Upcoming Cha Eun Woo + Jaehyun", causing a debate among followers.
The post has rapidly spread across different Korean online communities after the individual behind it pointed out, "He shares his birthday with Valentine's Day. He's also known as the 'Valentine boy'." Some fans are expressing concern that the poster is using Jaehyun's nickname to attract attention to the new group member.
While some internet users believe the trainee does bear a resemblance to Cha Eun Woo and Jaehyun, others disagree. Many online commenters argue that these new idols should not be promoted based on similarities to others. Opinions varied among discussions:
- "We should avoid mentioning their resemblance to others." - "I can spot similarities to Cha Eun Woo, but I am unsure about Jaehyun." - "They are leveraging him for promotional purposes." - "They seem to be appropriating the 'Valentine boy' moniker." - "I don't see it." - "Jaehyun's resemblance is not evident." - "Although, he is undeniably good-looking." - "They may point out his birthday aligns with Valentine's Day, but should refrain from taking Jaehyun's 'Valentine boy' title." - "This raises concerns of HYBE utilizing viral marketing strategies like SM." - "Cha Eun Woo?" - "Which boy? Honoring others' aliases is essential." - "Perhaps he slightly resembles Cha Eun Woo with the mask concealing the lower face." - "Anticipate them using this for promotional purposes upon debut." - "I don't see any resemblance to Cha Eun Woo or Jaehyun..." - "People are being swayed by HYBE's promotional tactics."
