Imagine the human gene pool as a deck of cards. Even though there are billions of ways to shuffle it, the number of possible facial traits—eye shape, nose bridge, lip shape, cheekbone structure—still has certain limits. With more than 8 billion people on Earth, it is inevitable that random “shuffling” will cause these combinations of traits to repeat.

Meanwhile, the human brain is wired to prioritize facial recognition. We are extremely good at spotting similarities and using them to categorize information. All of this leads to one conclusion: it is entirely possible—and quite common—for two unrelated people to look almost identical (also known as doppelgängers).

Especially when it comes to celebrities—the most prominent individuals in society—the public is even more likely to notice look-alikes. BTS in general, and Jimin and Jungkook in particular, are no exception.

In the past, fans have discovered multiple “visual clones” of Jimin, such as Filipino TikToker Ian Noel De Leon, Chinese child actor Han Haolin, and fellow idols like SHINee’s Taemin and BIGFLO’s EuiJin. Similarly, Jungkook has also been said to have several “twins,” including Golden Child’s Y, IVVY’s Hiroto, and DAY6’s Sungjin, among others.

But obviously, fans had never encountered a situation where two people believed to resemble Jimin and Jungkook would show up together at the same event. Well—turns out you’re about to see exactly that, and the coincidence is so unbelievable you’ll be left completely speechless!

Specifically, a post by Kstyle News sharing photos of actor Shim Hyung Tak, his wife Hirai Saya, and their son Haru attending the “OMIYAGE + נαραиese Premium Souvenir Dessert Pop-Up Event” as PR ambαѕѕadors υиєχρє¢тє∂ly went viral on social media. The original post has now garnered 3.5 million engagements.

Most reposts and comments under the post pointed out the same thing: Hirai Saya looks exactly like Jungkook, while their son Haru resembles a baby version of Jimin. One fan wrote, “The woman who looks like Jungkook gave birth to a mini Jimin,” which gained over half a million reach. Another comment highlighted the mind-blowing coincidence: “THAT’S CRAZY!!! The woman that looks like Jungkook is born same day as Jimin (13.10.1995), gave birth to a boy who looks like baby Jimin and named him Haru. That’s the name of Jimin’s character in CHAKHO (a webtoon inspired by BTS). You can’t make this sнιт up".

Previously, Hirai Saya had already been considered the most convincing Jungkook look-alike among all the people compared to him. Both Shim Hyung Tak’s wife and Jungkook himself are also aware of the viral talk surrounding their resemblance. Hirai Saya even posted an Instagram letter expressing her gratitude for fans’ compliments, while also showing her love and support for BTS and Jungkook. Meanwhile, Jungkook reacted by saying: “I saw Shim Hyung Tak’s wife (laughs). We really look alike.”

Now, with their son Haru being compared to Jimin as well, the additional details—such as Saya sharing the same birthday as Jimin and the boy being named Haru—make the connection even more adorable and fascinating in fans’ eyes. Netizens quickly flooded the original post with comments:

- She has a face similar to Jungkook, same birth year as Jimin and now she has a child who looks like Jimin
