Kim Dong-jun Reflects on His Resemblance to Han Ga-in and His Decision to Stop Cross-Dressing

Kim Dong-jun, a former member of the boy group ZE:A, recently opened up about his decision to decline the resemblance to actress Han Ga-in during a guest appearance on her YouTube channel, 'Free Spirit Han Ga-in.' In a video titled 'Meeting the Lookalike of Han Ga-in, Whom the Whole Nation Has Longed For? (+DNA Test),' the two stars shared a light-hearted conversation.

During the episode, Kim expressed his admiration for Han, stating, 'I feel like I owe you a lifelong debt. If you ask me to do something, I would gladly do it.' Han, however, humorously cautioned him, saying, 'Don’t make my brother do anything strange.'

Reflecting on his time with ZE:A, Kim recalled, 'I was surprised by how well he sang. I thought he was just the visual member, but he ended up taking on a lot of the main vocal parts.' He credited Han for his numerous appearances on variety shows, where he often dressed in women's clothing, saying, 'It was all thanks to (Han Ga-in) sunbaenim. I dressed up as a woman on almost every program.'

Despite the fun and attention it brought, Kim admitted that he felt a sense of responsibility. 'At some point, I thought it needed to settle down. I felt like I was causing trouble for sunbaenim by continuing to be known as her lookalike. So, I told the company that I couldn’t do it anymore. It didn’t feel respectful,' he explained.
