Way back in 2014, Korean variety show “Where Are We Going, Dad?” presented viewers with a number of celebrity dads and their cutie-patootie kids. Included among them were actor Ryu Jin and his two sons, Lim Chan Hyung and Lim Chan Ho. At the time, Chan Ho, who was already a well-known Taehyung lookalike as a kid, was a boy who charmed people with his sweet smile and innocent personality.
Taehyung’s lookalike is gaining attention again.
In 2025, Chan Ho is once again the talk of the internet, but for a very different cause. Now a teenager, the heart-breaking boy’s development has left South Korean internet users stunned.Lim Chan Ho is 15 now, and he has become a handsome young man whose looks have led some fans to liken him to BTS’s Taehyung, or V.
In a recent vlog posted by his father Ryu Jin, the fans caught a glimpse of Chan Ho’s new appearance, and the reactions were instant. His defined jawline, piercing eyes, smooth skin, and shiny black hair reminded them of Taehyung’s iconic appearance. Social media was filled with remarks such as “He’s a Taehyung lookalike!” and “Is this V’s little brother?”
Not only does he look like a K-pop idol, but Chan Ho also carries himself with a calm demeanor and natural confidence in front of the camera. His fashion sense and aura are so much so that he would have no issue acting like a K-pop idol, though there has been no indication yet of him taking an entertainment career. Fans, however, cannot help but picture him as part of an upcoming boy group.
Netizens also noted how handsome his father is, commenting that Chan Ho certainly inherited his looks from his parents. There are even fans who went so far as to say that his glow-up is one of the best they’ve ever witnessed.
From a adorable child star to a teenage heartthrob who looks like one of the world’s most handsome idols—Lim Chan Ho’s journey has certainly been noticed by everyone. Showbiz or no showbiz, one thing is certain: his face is already unforgettable.
