Actor Lee Sun-bin is attracting attention with his handsome visuals, further garnering reactions saying he resembles Takuya Kimura, 'a legendary star from Japan.'
On 9th, Lee Sun-bin posted a photo along with the message on his social media, "Mirang said I look like Mr. Takuya Kimura," and added, "Ju-young from 'Noise,' for those who haven't seen it yet!! You must see Noise in theaters!! And I'll meet you at the stage greeting on the 13th!"
In the released photo, Lee Sun-bin showcased sharp features and androgynous charm even without much makeup. Actor Ra Mi-ran commented, "You're so handsome!!!" and Ahn Dong-goo added, "So handsome…" elevating the atmosphere.
Among them, Takuya Kimura, mentioned by Ra Mi-ran, is a core member of the legendary idol group SMAP, which enjoyed national popularity in Japan. Officially debuting in 1991, SMAP not only dominated the Japanese music industry but also made its mark in dramas, variety shows, and films, establishing itself as a 'national group.'
In particular, Kimura is recognized as a youth star and acting powerhouse representative of the 90s to 2000s through numerous hits like 'Long Vacation,' 'Hero,' and 'Good Luck.' In 2016, when the news of the group's disbandment was announced, it caused such a significant uproar that all of Japan was in shock. Even after the disbandment, he continues to be a leading top actor in Japan.
In response, internet users have shown keen interest in the resemblance issue with comments like, "He really gives off a Takuya Kimura vibe," "Lee Sun-bin is the epitome of handsome charm," and "Strangely androgynous charm… looks like a photoshoot."
Meanwhile, Lee Sun-bin is meeting audiences through the movie Noise and is scheduled to greet fans directly at the stage greeting on the 13th.
