On March 26, actor Namgoong Min and NCT’s Jaemin appeared together on the YouTube channel “KODE”, where they initially interacted under nicknames before revealing their identities.
The moment they saw each other face-to-face, both were visibly shocked. Namgoong Min remarked, “It’s fascinating… it feels like someone photoshopped me,” expressing amazement at Jaemin’s visuals. He even pointed out similarities in their eyes, smiles, and even the position of their canine teeth, joking, “Youth is nice.”
Despite the 22-year age gap, Jaemin responded with his signature bright energy, humorously saying, “It feels like I’m looking at my dad,” which drew laughter on set. He also revealed that he had often been told he resembles Namgoong Min since his trainee days, adding that Yunho had even suggested the two should meet someday.
The meeting didn’t stop at playful reactions. Namgoong Min mentioned his current drama project “The Husband” (tentative title) and suggested that Jaemin could play his younger (high school) version if the opportunity arises. Jaemin responded enthusiastically, saying he would be happy even with a small role, raising fans’ hopes for a future collaboration between the two “look-alikes.”
Following the episode, the pair shared photos together, which quickly spread across social media. Fans and fellow celebrities alike were stunned by how closely they resemble each other, with Kim Heechul commenting that they look even more alike side by side.
