Since his debut, BTS‘s V has had many “lookalike” public figures who have earned attention for having visuals that reminded netizens of the talented BTS star.
Korean model and social media influencer Taek has often earned attention for his “lookalike” visuals with BTS’s V, especially in specific photos and doing specific poses.
In May 2022, Taek’s resemblance to BTS’s V drew him into a whirlwind of reports as a photo of two people driving on Jeju Island were believed to be BTS’s V and BLACKPINK‘s Jennie, though many believed the photos to be edited and the identities of the individuals were never confirmed.
As netizens investigated the legitimacy of the photos, they realized Taek was in Jeju Island around the same time the photo began to circulate, which led some to falsely identify him as the man in the photo.
In a now-deleted post on his Instagram, Taek adamantly denied that he was the man in the photo and shared that he was distressed by the rumors and hateful comments he was receiving in response to being falsely identified as the man.
It’s been almost two years since he made headlines during the incident, and the handsome model has been busier than ever.
