- "That's actually true. Wow, honestly, I can't really think of his face but in my mind, he has that kind of look."
- "The way there's literally not one physical feature similar and it's just the beanie and short hair."

- "The fact Wonbin has trademarked long dark hair and a beanie already."
- "When did Wonbin become the founding father of beanies lmfao, I keep seeing these types of posts around Twitter K-pop stans."
