In a series of recent viral clips, a ctor Lee Soo-hyuk is seen walking with a stagger, swinging his arms in exaggerated fashion, and displaying a newly “hip” aura — all traits that fans immediately linked to G-Dragon’s unmistakable style. Known for his heavy, charismatic presence, Lee’s sudden shift in energy has taken many by surprise.

“He’s totally starting to look like G-Dragon,” one user commented.
“Even his reactions feel GD-coded,” another wrote.

Lee Soo-hyuk and G-Dragon’s friendship spans over 20 years, dating back to before either made their official debut. They’ve frequently shown public support for each other — from joint variety show appearances (like MBC’s Good Day) to sharing limited-edition gifts and even playful private messages. G-Dragon has often posted about Lee’s projects on social media, and Lee in turn showcases memorabilia received from the fashion-forward idol.

Fans say their lifelong bond explains the growing similarities: “That’s what happens when you’re real best friends,” one netizen noted, while another said, “Even their gestures are contagious.”

However, not all reactions were enthusiastic. Some fans preferred Lee’s previously stoic, masculine image: “I liked it better when he had a heavier aura.”

Meanwhile, Lee Soo-hyuk is also at the center of a separate controversy involving his recent fan meeting in Hangzhou, China. Taiwanese broadcaster EBC reported that Lee was overworked for 12 hours, forced to sign autographs for thousands of fans in a hot venue with broken air conditioning. Allegedly, he was even threatened by organizers to stay until all materials were signed.

Though his agency Saram Entertainment issued a statement on September 3, it failed to assign blame or mention protective measures, leaving fans disappointed and demanding accountability.
