ARMYs, have you ever thought: Are there any idols who look like Jungkook? Lucky for you, we may have found a few artists, and interestingly, all of them are from the same label, HYBE. Most may not look a lot like Jungkook, but they sure are like JK-coded. Without further ado, let’s step into the world of these lookalikes!
Fans Can Find These JK-Coded Idols In HYBE
Take a look at those HYBE groups, and try searching for idols who look like Jungkook yourselves. All of these are from the fourth-generation groups of the label, including a girl group. We’re certain that you want to know all of them, so might as well head straight to the list right away!
4) LE SSERAFIM’s Hong Eunchae
If you don’t agree with this list-opener, some fans see the resemblance. According to some fans, the girl group’s maknae looks like Jungkook, especially those big doe eyes. Honestly, we agree with that, too.

- Their resemblance is noticeable with zoomed-in video clips of Eunchae. When you see her boba eyes, you’ll somehow be reminded of JK’s younger self, but make it a girl version. Overall, Eunchae is not too similar to Jungkook, but certainly, she’s also a maknae on top!
3) ENHYPEN’s Lee Heeseung
We see the vision here, but it’s not too strong for everyone to see. Since I-LAND days, fans have noticed that ENHYPEN Heeseung looks like Jungkook. There are specific angles that would have fans in awe of how the two look alike. Aside from their eyes, there’s this specific vibe from Heeseung that gives off a lot of JK resemblance.

- When Hee’s hair is styled curly or just left messy, we remember iconic Jungkook photos. Fans have been talking about this since ENHYPEN’s debut and up until now. Their nose has a noticeable difference that would let you know that it’s either of the two when it comes to their photos.
- The verdict: Heeseung could pass as a JK-coded idol, slightly lookalike, but not uncanny. The two have powerful vocals and visuals, so that would be plus points.
2) TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s Kang Taehyun
Now, we’re talking about idols who look like Jungkook. If you still can’t see the similarities, maybe we can help you in seeing. This has been one of the talks of the town since Taehyun entered the idol industry. He isn’t just JK-coded but actually looks like Jeon Jungkook, specifically those younger eras. (maybe around 2016- ish).

- The big boba eyes? A hundred times check, because that’s where you can first notice their resemblance. They almost have similar eyes. If you also check Taehyun’s side profile, it’s obvious, too. When Taehyun’s hair is styled with his bangs almost covering his eyes, you’ll somehow see what other ARMYs and MOAs have been saying all this time.
- Taehyun is one of the idols who look like Jungkook, and it isn’t just a resemblance. They do have the same facial features, except for Taehyun’s sharper V-shape face. But the eyes, nose, smile, and even vocals? Oh, that’s something you should see!
1) BOYNEXTDOOR’s Myung Jaehyun
Among all the HYBE groups, the recently debuted BOYNEXTDOOR will hold the top spot in these idols who look like Jungkook ranked list. We stumbled upon a short live clip of Jaehyun vibing to Jungkook’s Yes or No, and their voices are quite similar; we didn’t expect that. In the clip alone, we were persuaded that the BOYNEXTDOOR leader does look like JK.

- Also, his reactions and moves can make you remember Jeon Jungkook. The comments section is flooded saying he’s like little Kook, and praising the younger’s vocals, too. HYBE pretty sure is getting a lot of idols with Jungkook’s resemblance.
- Fans have also been seeing BTS’s RM, SEVENTEEN’s Joshua, and Taehyun in Jaehyun’s face. But we placed him here first for a reason — Jaehyun is the HYBE artist who looks a lot like JK. You need to see more of his videos, and maybe photos from different angles for you to notice their similarities. They could pass as brothers or even twins, they’re on that level of similarity.
Honorable Mentions For Idols Who Look Like Jungkook
While we’re in the discussion of Jungkook lookalikes, Jaehyun may be the HYBE’s best bet among the idols who look like Jungkook, but these honorable mentions are, so far, the best contenders for the title.
- GOLDEN CHILD’s Y
Years ago, GOLDEN CHILD’s Y became viral for bearing a strong resemblance to BTS’s golden maknae. He is the main vocalist of the group, just like Kook. With Y’s messy hairstyle, nose, and bunny teeth, he can quickly remind you of JK. However, when it comes to their eyes, Y’s are smaller compared to Jungkook’s boba eyes.

- Hirai Saya
To successfully end these idols who look like Jungkook list, nope, she isn’t an idol but has the most uncanny resemblance to the BTS’s main vocalist. Actually, this isn’t just a resemblance, they could be a doppelganger of each other. And you’re right if you said it’s the Japanese wife of the actor Shim Hyung Tak, Hirai Saya. The big doe eyes, bunny teeth, and facial features — are similar. See for yourself in the video below.

- They both heard about their resemblance, and Jungkook and Hirai also agreed. Who wouldn’t see how similar they are? Some fans even joked that Hirai Saya is just Jungkook wearing a wig.
In this wide entertainment industry, it’s fun to find those who resemble each other. Maybe we can see Jungkook share a stage with his HYBE idols lookalikes, and hear their powerful vocals. Will there be more in the future? We can find out when new artists debut, so watch out!
