Song Joong-Ki's My Youth co-star Chun Woo Hee looks similar to actor's ex-wife Song Hye Kyo; netizens react

Song Joong-Ki has made a comeback to the romance genre with My Youth. It stars Chun Woo-Hee as his leading lady. After the mega success of Descendants of The Sun, he took a nine-year long break from romantic dramas. With his typical flower boy good looks, Song Joong-Ki was the perfect fit for youthful romances in his career.

In My Youth, he is playing the role of a florist who reconnects with an old friend and falls for her. Chun Woo-Hee is playing the team leader in a company. The two have been praised for their chemistry and visuals on My Youth. In the middle of all this, some fans claimed that Chun Woo-Hee was cast as she looks a lot like Song Hye-Kyo.

Chun Woo-Hee a look-alike of Song Hye-Kyo!

There are literal edits and collages of scenes between Descendants of The Sun and My Youth. Many felt that the two actresses indeed looked similar. As we know, Song Joong-Ki was earlier married to Song Hye-Kyo, his co-star from the global blockbuster, Descendants of The Sun. However, the marriage ended within a year due to undisclosed reasons.

From infidelity to excessive interference from in-laws, the speculative causes were wild. Some people are wondering if the decision to cast similar looking Chun Woo-Hee was a deliberate one.

Disrespectful to both actresses

Song Hye-Kyo is one of the top actresses of the K-Drama industry. Her last show The Glory was a global blockbuster. She is now filming a new series with Gong Yoo based on the entertainment industry. Song Joong-Ki made a return to Korean dramas after a couple of flop movies. Such comparisons are kind of hurtful for both the actresses involved. Song Joong-Ki also said that he has great regard for Chun Woo-Hee as an artiste. Song Joong-Ki and Song Hye-Kyo split in 2019 and he found love in Italian – British actress Katy Louise Saunders.
