In a recent episode of his show Season B Season, Rain, the iconic South Korean singer, and actor, met with the members of Stray Kids, one of K-pop's rising groups.
However, what caught the attention of fans and viewers wasn't just the interaction between the renowned artist and the talented idols but rather the uncanny resemblance Rain noticed between himself and one member in particular - Bang Chan.
The revelation came as a surprise to many when Rain, alongside the show's staff, acknowledged the striking similarity between Bang Chan and his younger self during the 'Bad Guy' era.
It wasn't just idle speculation; it seemed like a consensus among the crew that with his current longer hair, Stray Kids' Hyunjin bore a resemblance to Rain.
However, it was Bang Chan who took the spotlight as Rain pointed out how much he resembled the legendary artist.
