More photos of Big Hit Music's upcoming boy group continue to surface online, gaining the attention of K-pop fans and online users.

Recently, one member of the new boy group is going viral for looking like Cha Eun Woo and NCT's Jaehyun. A few photos of the trainee were shared in a popular online community post with the title, "Big Hit's Next Cha Eun Woo + Jaehyun," which sparked a heated debate.

This post has gone viral in various Korean online communities after the poster explained, "His birthday is also Valentine's. He's also 'Valentine boy'." Some fans are saying, the poster is using Jaehyun's nickname to stir clout for the new member.

Some netizens are saying the idol does resemble Cha Eun Woo and Jaehyun, but some argue he doesn't. But many K-netizens are saying these new idols shouldn't gain attention for looking like someone else. They discussed:

"Stop talking about them looking like someone."
"I can see Cha Eun Woo. I don't know about Jaehyun."
"They are using him for viral marketing."

"They're now stealing the nickname Valentine boy."
"I don't see it."
"I don't see Jaehyun at all."
"He is good-looking, though."

"They can say 'his birthday is also Valentine's Day' but they shouldn't take Jaehyun's nickname 'Valentine boy'."
"This is why HYBE gets accused of viral marketing using SM."
"Cha Eun Woo?"
"What boy? Don't steal other people's nicknames."
"I guess he looks a bit like Cha Eun Woo with the mask covering the lower part of his face."
"When the group debuts, they are going to use this as viral marketing."
"He doesn't look like Cha Eun Woo or Jaehyun..."
"People are falling for HYBE's viral marketing tactic."
