aespa NingNing Trends for Similarities to Red Velvet Joy & BLACKPINK Jennie

Earlier on February 17 and 18, the 31st Hanteo Music Awards held its two-night event. Many idols attended the awards show to receive their trophies and deliver exhilarating performances for fans.

On its second night (February 18), the event concluded by rewarding most of the main prizes to various K-pop artists, including the Bonsang, Daesang, and many more. Furthermore, the event was also graced by fourth-gen leader aespa.

The quartet managed to win the trophy for Artist of the Year (Bonsang), along with the Global Generation Icon and Best Trend Leader awards. Regarding their performances, the group also captivated everyone with their stages for "Trick or Trick" and "Drama."

Aside from their praiseworthy award and exciting performances, one member also drew attention for a different reason. On February 19, K-Netz gathered in an online community titled, "I see Joy and Jennie in NingNing's face."

NingNing's visuals are often compared to Jennie's looks due to her fierce appearance and sharp facial features. But in this newest case, the idol seems to have acquired both Jennie and Joy's appearances, as well as their vibes.

See the photo below:

OP then stated that covering certain parts of NingNing's face in the photo can emulate the visuals of the two mentioned third-gen female idols.

"I really felt like that when looking at this picture. If you hide her lower face and only look at her eyes, she looks like Jennie," OP stated. "But if you hide her eyes and only look at her lower face, she looks like Joy. Hanteo NingNing was legendary."

Korean netizens reacted to the photo, with the majority agreeing with the similarities, while some revealed the large contribution of makeup to NingNing's resemblance to the idols. Read their comments below:

• "I don't know about her lower face but when she has heavier makeup and high bun, she looks like Jennie but when she has her hair down and has lighter makeup, she looks like Joy."
• "Her makeup makes her look like a cat or a fruit depending on how it's done."
• "Yup, her eyes are like Jennie and the remaining looks like Joy."
• "I agree that she has both Joy and Jennie's vibes. NingNing is pretty."
• "She looks more refined than Joy and more babyish than Jennie."
• "Even if you cover her eyes or her lower face, she still looks like Ningning."

Here's how international MYs reacted to the photo:

• "Seriously, she looks like them in this photo. Normally, I find her similar to Jennie, but here I also got a vibe of Joy."
• Would love to get a pic of the three of them together. I always thought Jennie and Ningning look alike, they should play sister in an MV or something."
• "A trio I need to see together please."
