Predebut K-Pop idols often catch the public’s attention for various reasons, with visual similarities to already-established stars from big idol groups being a common talking point among fans. The latest buzz in the K-Pop community centers around an upcoming idol whose striking resemblance to a beloved TWICE member has captured netizens’ interest.
Carmen — a member of SM Entertainment‘s soon-to-debut girl group Hearts2Hearts — has become the subject of widespread discussion on social media platforms.
Fans have noted her remarkable similarity to TWICE’s Chaeyoung, particularly highlighting her distinctive features such as large expressive eyes and petite facial structure. A recent viral post featuring Carmen sporting twin braids further fueled these comparisons.
The discussion hasn’t stopped at just one comparison, though. Social media users have also drawn parallels between Carmen and other prominent K-Pop stars such as Girls’ Generation‘s Yoona….
NMIXX‘s Lily…
and Red Velvet‘s Yeri.
Carmen’s rising popularity comes at a perfect time, as Hearts2Hearts prepares for their highly anticipated debut on February 24. The group will introduce themselves to the world with their first single album, “The Chase.” SM Entertainment has been steadily building anticipation through a series of teaser images, allowing fans to familiarize themselves with the group’s members.
