• "The photos give us twin energy!" The actress who resembles Ryujin responds to rumors regarding her striking resemblance to the ITZY member

    Will we ever get a picture of the two of them together?


    People noticed a new Korean actor last year because she looked a lot like two beautiful K-Celebrities: Han So Hee and ITZY's Ryujin.

    The actress was none other than Kim Ji Eun.

    Im Si Hwan (also known as Yim Si Hwan) and Lee Dong Wook starred in the 2019 K-drama Hell Is Other People on OCN.

    This was Kim Ji Eun's first major part. She played Im Si Hwan's girlfriend on the show.

    But her career took off in 2021 when she played Yoo Je Yi, a NIS field agent, in the K-drama The Veil on MBC.

    Soon after that, she became even more well-known for her role as a law trainee on the SBS show One Dollar Lawyer.

    In April, Kim Ji Eun and Hyungwon from Monsta X became the new hosts of the SBS show Inkigayo.

    Netizens were stunned by her looks and were happy to see her on the show. People couldn't stop talking about how much she looked like ITZY's Ryujin.

    People have said for a while that Kim Ji Eun looked like Ryujin, so she talked about it. Hyungwon asked the Inkigayo MCs a question about how much Kim Ji Eun looks like Ryujin during an interview on SBS's main YouTube channel.

    "A question to MC Ji Eun. You once said that you look like Ryujin from ITZY. Can we get a picture of the two of you together?"Hyungwon

    Kim Ji Eun said she heard this a lot, especially when her hair was short.

    "I heard that I looked a lot like her, and in my last K-drama, One Dollar Lawyer, I had short hair, and we did look alike," he said. Kim Ji Eun

    said that people even talked to her on the street because they thought she was Ryujin.

    "When I walk down the street, some people say, "Ryujin unnie!" and others say, "You're Ryujin unnie, right?" Can you sign something?' It might have happened twice!" Kim Ji Eun

    The star then said that she would like to meet the singer from ITZY.

    "One day I'd like to meet her in person."Kim Ji Eun

    People on the Internet reacted to the interview by saying that the two do look alike, especially in the movie "One Dollar Lawyer."


    “Lol! Identical”

    "Oh, I can't wait for the two-shot."


    "As I watched the drama, I got confused"


    "Of all the people who look alike, they are the most alike"


    "She looks like Ryujin + Han So Hee (((my opinion)))"


    "When Kim Ji Eun did a challenge, she danced well, so at first I thought it was Ryujin."


    "She looks like Han So Hee, too! Haha. Please get Ryujin and Ji Eun together for a two-shot!!! lol”


    "They do look alike LOL. They're both so freaking pretty; they could be sisters."


    "Remember when there was a post asking if
    Ryujin was acting when 'One Dollar Lawyer' came out? Hahaha! I want ITZY to do a task with Ryujin when she comes back."


    "Maybe she doesn't look like Ryujin in this video because her hair is long, but when it's short, she does."


    We'd love for that to happen and for those two beautiful women to be in the same picture.

  • BTS's Jin Breaks Records Again! Laneige Sees Biggest Sales Ever Thanks to His Star Power

    BTS’s Jin, the global ambassador for Laneige, has once again proven his incredible influence by helping the brand achieve its highest-ever sales record.

    Since expanding into the U.S. market in 2018, Amorepacific’s global beauty brand Laneige has experienced massive growth, largely fueled by the rising popularity of K-pop. However, Laneige hit a new milestone during the Black Friday & Cyber Monday (BFCM) event on Amazon U.S., recording an incredible 127% sales increase compared to last year. Many believe this success is due to Laneige’s decision to select Jin as its first-ever male global ambassador.

    Laneige’s rapid expansion has also had a ripple effect on Amorepacific’s overall sales. For the first time, the company’s sales in the Americas have surpassed those in Greater China, highlighting Jin’s massive brand impact.

    Laneige officially introduced Jin as its global ambassador on September 27, 2023, and his involvement led to an instant surge in product demand. His stunning campaign visuals received an overwhelming response, leading to numerous sold-out products and Laneige topping sales charts worldwide.

    According to WWD Japan, Laneige saw an unexpected sales boom thanks to the "Jin effect." The brand manager of Amorepacific Japan’s Laneige division stated, "With BTS’s Jin joining as an ambassador, sales of 'Cream Skin' lotion have significantly increased. Campaign revenue has doubled from our initial expectations, leading to major brand awareness growth."

    Laneige’s Cream Skin, which was heavily featured in Jin’s global campaign, became an absolute bestseller. It secured the No. 1 sales spot on Japan’s Qoo10 marketplace—not just in beauty, but across all product categories! This cemented Jin’s unstoppable global influence.

    In South Korea, Laneige Cream Skin took over Olive Young’s sales rankings across all gender and age groups. It even sold out in offline stores due to overwhelming demand. The product also dominated the sales charts for seven consecutive days on Laneige’s official U.S. website, earning Jin yet another ‘Sold-Out King’ moment.

    Internationally, the campaign’s success led to immediate sellouts in Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Singapore, while in Indonesia, it had to be restocked after being wiped out. A limited-edition mini photobook offered with Jin’s Laneige Cream Skin purchases instantly sold out on China’s top online marketplaces, Taobao and Tmall.

    But Jin’s selling power doesn’t stop at beauty brands! In July 2023, he became the first global ambassador for FRED, a prestigious French high-jewelry house. As expected, luxury pieces, including a $100,000 necklace, sold out immediately after his campaign launched.

    In August 2023, he was introduced as a global ambassador for Gucci, and his endorsement caused rapid sellouts in South Korea, the U.S., and Japan.

    Jin’s ambassadorship for Alo Yoga also made waves, with WWD reporting that his announcement alone generated $3.6 million in media impact value within just 24 hours! His influence also extends into technology and tourism, as he’s partnered with Dolby and served as Seoul’s tourism ambassador.

    His advertising power is undeniable even in the food industry. In 2022, Jin was selected as the model for Ottogi’s Jin Ramen, and the brand quickly saw its highest-ever ramen export sales. The food industry noted that Korea’s ramen exports experienced a huge boost following BTS’s Jin’s campaign, a trend similar to the worldwide ramen boom triggered by Parasite’s Oscar win in 2020.

    From beauty to luxury fashion, tech, and even food, Jin continues to dominate industries worldwide, proving once again why he is a top-tier global superstar.
