K-celebrities who are Doppelgangers: Male Edition

Have you ever mixed up two celebrity faces while watching K-dramas?

That's something I did many times without numbers while I was still new to watching K-dramas. I am always mixing up faces and thinking two different actors or actresses are the same person.

Do you think I'm exaggerating that? Like, have you seen the striking resemblance between some Korean celebs?

If you still don't believe me, wait till the end of this piece to find out what I am talking about.

So I made a list of K-celebs who are doppelgangers and a few things you should know about each of them just for you.
