Following the group’s debut, members YoonA, Seohyun, and Yuri earned attention for their similar visuals, earning the “Bermuda-line” nickname due to their resemblance to each other.
Over the years, a few fellow K-Pop idols have also caught netizens’ eyes for having visuals that reminded them of YoonA, such as f(x)‘s Krystal and STAYC‘s J.
