SM Entertainment Staff’s Uncanny Resemblance To Sexy HYBE Idol Sparks Shock

A bodyguard at NCT 127’s recent concert is gaining almost as much attention as the group itself, and it’s all because of his resemblance to a popular HYBE boy group star.

A clip filmed at NCT 127’s NEO CITY – THE REDLINE concert recently made the rounds on social media as an example of behavior to avoid. While interacting with fans in the front row, Haechan had his arm grabbed by an eager concertgoer. In the video, his bodyguard steps in almost instantly, pulling the fan’s hand away sharply with a fierce look. However, the guard quickly started going viral for a whole different reason.

While the clip only lasted a few seconds, it gave fans enough time to zero in on the bodyguard’s face, with dozens claiming that the staff member looked exactly like SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu.

From his facial features to his hair, fans were stunned by the resemblance to Mingyu, who recently began his mandatory military service on September 10.

Interestingly, the same bodyguard also caught fans’ attention at a Polo Ralph Lauren event earlier this month in Seoul, where he was seen accompanying Mark Lee (who recently departed both NCT and SM Entertainment).
