First up, Jin Ki-joo — who’s been earning explosive reactions at home and abroad with Netflix’s Teach You a Lesson — is drawing attention for looking strikingly similar to Geum Sae-rok, who delivered a strong performance in Disney+’s Bloody Flower in February. Their gentle eyes, pure vibes, and similar lip shapes give them a nearly twin-like aura.

Co-star Lee Sang-hee, who also shined in Teach You a Lesson, is famously a lookalike of singer-actress Minah. Despite a notable 10-year age gap, their visuals are so alike that fans often call them true doppelgängers.

He’s appeared as a standout supporting actor in hit dramas like MBC’s Perfect Crown and Disney+’s The Manipulated, prompting fans to ask, “Isn’t that Oh Jung-se?” every time he’s on screen.
