BTS Jungkook had already acknowledged his lookalike in 2023

The internet hilariously presented its disappointment when it was revealed that Korean actor Shim Hyun-tak's wife, Hirai Saya, was not present for the BTS singer lookalike competition. In 2023, the Seven's singer agreed to the uncanny resemblance between the two.

ARMY funnily reacted to her absence in the BTS singer's lookalike contest. Many reacted to how the true winner of the lookalike contest had already been announced by the singer himself in 2023.

"The only lookalike who'll clean sweep the contest with flying colours,"

"she won already when jungkook acknowledged that she looks like him," - an ARMY reacted.

A lot of K-pop fans, especially the fans of boy group BOYNEXTDOOR (BND) commented that Jaehyun from BND would have won the contest if he had participated.

"She or Jaehyun from bnd (boynextdoor) would've won," - an X user commented.
