On a recent episode of the tvN variety show Amazing Saturday, comedian Kim Ji Yoo recalled a memorable moment from her school days, revealing that she once saw Taeyeon’s older brother in person at a fan signing event in Jeonju.
She described him as someone who “literally shone from afar,” adding that his good looks were already well-known locally. “I saw Taeyeon greeting her brother, and I fell for him at first sight,” she shared, sparking laughter and curiosity from viewers.
Taeyeon’s brother, identified as Kim Ji Woong, has long been a familiar figure among fans. His visuals, often described as a “male version of Taeyeon,” have repeatedly drawn attention for their striking resemblance. Following the broadcast, online communities quickly reignited interest in him, with past photos and family pictures resurfacing and spreading rapidly.
Many netizens reacted with comments such as “SM must have wanted to recruit him” and “Why didn’t he become an idol?” highlighting how his appearance fits the industry’s beauty standards. Interestingly, Taeyeon’s brother previously made a brief appearance in her solo debut music video for “I” in 2015.
In the scene, he appears casually seated at a bar wearing a black cap, yet even that short cameo was enough to capture viewers’ attention at the time due to his sharp features and natural charisma. Beyond visuals, fans have also noted the warm relationship between Taeyeon and her brother. He has been seen attending her concerts and interacting through social media, showing consistent support for his sister’s career.
