Anime characters' cosplayers are the first ones to break the male stereotype by applying make-ups, but this trend becomes more acceptable with Korean idols using make-ups as well. The power of make-up is really massive, and it can literally transform anyone into another personality.
In this regard, here are some of the K-pop idols who are basically real-life anime characters with their visuals and a little bit of make-up.
1. SEVENTEEN's Jeonghan as Victor Nikiforov
No words are needed to explain this 'cause starting from their hair, smile and face shape, you can literally say that Jeonghan is Yuri's on Ice's Victor!
2. BTS V as Ken Kaneki
The Tokyo ghoul's main character Ken resembles V a lot! (Well, when he's not a ghoul yet). During debut days of Taehyung, or popularly known as BTS V, K-pop fans always noticed his resemblance with the character, especially with V's ash-coloured hair and black turtle neck sweatshirt.
3. Jaejoong as Yagami Light
Jaejoong and Light are similar in one thing, and it's undoubtedly their visuals! His stare will make you volunteer to be Mika-chan, Light's love interest in the anime, "Death Note."
4. NCT's Yuta as Rin Matsuoka
As expected, this "Takoyaki Prince" is included in the list! The Japanese idol inhibits the natural visual of an anime, but according to fans, Rin Matsuoka from "Free!" is probably the closest character Yuta looks similar with.
5. Myungsoo as L
Some fans may not know why Myungsoo was often called "L," but apparently, it is because he resembles L from "Death Note"! Their handsome visuals, the cold stare is really similar, and if you are a fan of both the anime and INFINITE, you would understand more about them!
6. NCT's Winwin as Gin (Hotarubi no Mori E)
Do we really have to explain? See for yourself and believe!
7. SHINee's Minho as Conan
Conan, from "Detective Conan" who stole your childhood heart, grew up as a fine man. Not only they were similar in appearance, but they both have the flaming charisma which everyone falls in love with.
8. BIGBANG's G-Dragon as Gaara
Admit it or not, but Gaara is probably one of your favorites in "Naruto," aside from Sasuke and Naruto himself. And as an anime fan and K-pop fan, you'll notice that G-Dragon has it all to become the real-life Gaara.
9. Kwangmin and Youngmin as Hitachin Brothers
Ouran High School Host Club is not complete without these sassy brothers, same with the K-pop industry without these twin brothers. The original "boyfriends" of K-pop can actually pass as anime characters.
10. EXO's Kai as Choi Sinhyuk
Not an anime, but Choi Sinhyuk is a manga character from "Beauty Formula." The similarities are uncanny; that's why fans and netizens can't help but wonder if EXO's Kai is actually the inspiration of the anime character.
Well, can't agree more, that's Kai's eye for sure!
And these are the top 10 K-pop idols who look like anime characters. If your bias looks like one as well, don't forget to comment and drop the pictures with the anime character!
