Hyunjin is receiving hot responses for his striking visuals that are better than CG! In online communities, the Stray Kids member stunned people after seeing his photos.

Stray Kids Hyunjin Was Reference of THIS Virtual Artist? People Think Idol Is Better Than CG

On March 1, a netizen's article amassed over 100k views and 219 likes which featured Stray Kids Hyunjin. In the post titled, "I think he's referring to Hyunjin's hairstyle," the internet user uploaded photos of the male idol along with snaps of SUPERKIND's Seung, a virtual idol created through AI technology.

In particular, the author implied that the two idols' hairstyles have uncanny similarities, claiming that the latter might have actually referred to Hyunjin's legendary hairstyle last year.

In May 2022, Hyunjin stole everyone's attention after attending the D'FESTA event organized by Dispatch. On that day, the "CASE 143" singer showed off his stylish side by trying a layered haircut which started with bangs and ended with a mullet.

His visuals were also perfect. His purple hair matched his fair skin and rosy lips, giving off elegant vibes like royalty which can only be seen in the manhwa.

On that day, the handsome anime-like aura of the male star became a sizzling topic on SNS, fans can't get over how UNREAL Hyunjin is in REAL life!

In December 2022 then, just six months after the iconic look of Hyunjin, Seung was added to SUPERKIND, a seven-member group with two virtual members, him and Saejin.

Looking at his photos, Seung also showed off an exact copy of Hyunjin's hairstyle and unexpectedly, the virtual star also resembles the latter so much! Given the timeline, K-pop fans and netters were thinking that Hyunjin was used as a reference when creating Seung.

After fans especially STAYs (Stray Kids fans) saw the post, they also acknowledge the resemblance, but they think that Hyunjin still looks better than the CG! If you feel like they were being biased, even non-fans were actually agreeing to it!

Some of the comments were saying:

• "Hwang Hyunjin is more handsome than AI."
• "I thought it was Hyunjin when I first saw him (Seung)."
• " Hyunjin looks more like an AI than an actual AI."
• "If this is the case, let us call him Hyunjin's AI."
• "How can the real thing looks better?"
• "After all, Hyunjin is legendary with long hair. It's a face that beats AI."
• "He has a celestial face that surpasses even computer graphics."
