In the K-pop idol industry, visuals are just as important as talent, and SM Entertainment is one of the agencies that has a distinct signature style that they prefer.
Fans can also see the similarities among SM idols through the generations, proving that there is such a thing as an “SM face.”
For example, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon and aespa’s Winter are known to look similar.
JYJ’s Jaejoong and NCT’s Taeyong are also known to look alike.
Most recently, a solo artist’s visuals garnered much attention online for his “SM” style visuals.
Solo artist Haneum, a former BigHit and CUBE trainee, debuted in 2023 under SAMESIDE Company. He graduated from Hanlim Multi Art School and used to be a child actor.
In his most recent live broadcast, he sang songs, chatted with fans, and showcased his visuals and personality.
