Jo Jung Suk lookalike sparks viral frenzy as real-life doctor steals the spotlight
A Korean doctor is going viral for his striking resemblance to Jo Jung Suk’s beloved character Dr. Lee Ik Jun from tvN’s 2020 hit Hospital Playlist.
The buzz started when Wonju Severance Christian Hospital’s YouTube channel posted “A Day in the Life of a University Hospital NICU Professor,” featuring Dr. Yoo Young Myung. The video showed his intense and heartfelt routine at the neonatal intensive care unit.
Fans quickly noticed the uncanny similarity:
“That’s literally Ik Jun.”
“He looks SO MUCH like Jo Jung Suk.”
“Wait, is this real?? Wow, the resemblance is insane.”
“With the glasses on? Dead ringer. LOL! I thought it was a fake documentary or something.”
The comparisons cover both looks and personality. Dr. Yoo even bikes to work, much like the character.
When asked about the comparisons, Dr. Yoo laughed and said:
“Yeah, I’ve heard that a few times.”
Fans are so blown away they joked Hospital Playlist could be “based on real life.”
