A recent post titled “Wow, why does Han So-hee suddenly feel so much like Hwasa???” has gone viral on South Korea’s most popular online community, Pann Nate, igniting a passionate discussion among K-pop and K-drama fans.

The post highlighted a recent photo of actress Han So-hee, who is widely admired for her stunning visuals and versatile acting skills. However, the original poster (OP) expressed mixed feelings, stating, “There’s something about her vibe that’s kind of scary in a way… 😱”

This remark sparked controversy as the OP compared Han So-hee’s look and vibe to Hwasa, the outspoken and bold member of the girl group MAMAMOO known for her confident and edgy image. The unexpected comparison quickly divided opinions, prompting netizens to weigh in with their perspectives.

Within minutes, comments flooded in defending Han So-hee and rejecting the negative comparison. Many users emphasized that Han So-hee’s charm lies not just in her looks but in the aura she brings to her roles and public appearances.
- Don’t you feel a reality check when you criticize an actress who’s famous for being pretty just for her looks…?
- “It’s just the concept of the photoshoot, lol. No matter how you look at it, she has a pretty and atmospheric face, so what’s the issue?
- What? I looked her up and her face is still pretty.
- ? Why are people bringing up Hwasa? Lol. Yeah, it might not be Han So-hee’s best photo, but she’s still pretty. What are you even talking about? Hwasa’s face doesn’t look like this at all.
- She’s pretty though?
- These days it’s always about Hwasa… You did this with Jennie too, and now it’s Han So-hee?

Beyond defending Han So-hee’s appearance, many fans expressed frustration over the ongoing trend of comparing female celebrities to one another based purely on looks or style. A common complaint was that these comparisons are repetitive and unfair, often reducing talented artists to superficial judgments. Fans stressed that each celebrity has her own distinct charm and that trying to force comparisons only diminishes their individuality.
