A meeting of historic lookalikes between NCT member Jaemin and actor Namkoong Min was arranged.
On the 25th, the web variety show Cell Phone Code uploaded a teaser titled "I hate short answers!-ㅇㅇ" to its official YouTube channel. The teaser attracted attention by showing NCT member Jaemin meeting someone.
In the video, Jaemin brightly greeted his codemate, "I am Jaemin and I hope you are someone who doesn't use short answers. Nice to meet you in advance." He then playfully asked, "What's your MBTI? Could it be CUTE?", and greeted the codemate with the nickname Jujoo.
But the codemate with the nickname "Mary" answered Jaemin's successive question "Secret?" briefly with "ㅇㅇ." At that moment, Jaemin changed. He firmly said, "I hate short answers." Mary was flustered and said, "I'm so so sorry."
Mary even asked the production team, "I said 'ㅇㅇ' to look younger, don't people do that anymore?" Jaemin, however, made a pouty face and added to the laughter, saying, "Why do you use 'ㅇㅇ'? It feels cold."
Relatedly, the production team raised fans' expectations by saying, "We were waiting without using short answers, properly serving them?"
Meanwhile, Namkoong Min was mentioned as the identity of 'Mary.' Namkoong Min and Jaemin have long been a hot topic as celebrity lookalikes. Mary's lower face, neat black suit and even voice hinted at Namkoong Min.
Internet users are expressing anticipation, saying, "This is a meeting on the level of Han Ga-in and Kim Dong-jun." Actress Han Ga-in and Kim Dong-jun, formerly of ZE:A, were also discussed as striking lookalikes since Kim Dong-jun's debut, and their meeting took place. Expectations are growing over whether Namkoong Min and Jaemin will show a historic actor-idol lookalike meeting to follow.
Cell Phone Code, featuring the meeting between Jaemin and Namkoong Min, will be released on Friday, the 27th, at 6:30 p.m.
