Can an idol who is dubbed as someone's lookalike get popular?


EXOSUS

Recommended Posts

Yoona, Goo Hara, Sulli, Jennie, Tzuyu, Seolhyun, Naeun, Irene, Krystal, Suzy, Hani are all original but their lookalikes seem to struggle even with a lot of mediaplay

Ex: Pristin Kyulkung (in Korea), Momoland Yeonwoo, Izone Minjoo and Eunbi, Fromis9 Nakyung, Loona Hyunjin, Laboum Solbin, CLC Eunbin...

 

Is there any exception?

when an idol debuts there are 1000 posts everywhere of "they remind me of x" it is more important what they do after they debut(?), if they mediaplay too much with that is not really good but I've heard senior idols in shows saying it is a good start point. I remember people saying Irene looked like Taeyeon and Krystal like Yoona before they established their own brands

they struggle because the comparison hype dies down and sometimes fans of the popular idol they're being compared to get upset. That's what happened with Hwanhee, Sungyoon, and so on. They need to throw in something else that makes them go viral, I doubt someone would get famous for looking like another idol. The examples being mentioned here are about idols from Big 3 like Jennie & Nayeon so they don't really count

There's a pretty big difference that is overlooked from your list: over half the "originals" you listed debuted in Big 3 companies.

All those new idols that you posted are who's lookalike? Talking about pinky, yeonwoo & etc. And also you mainly posted rookies. They're not gonna hit peak popularity right away

 

As for eunbin and solbin, they might not be popular in the mainstream but they're still the most popular of their group, which leads to more opportunities vs other members.

Who is supposed to be Kyulkyung‘s lookalike?
