SEOUL, South Korea — The handsome sons of actor Ryu Jin are once again attracting attention online, with netizens marveling at their visuals and jokingly urging them to stay away from HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk.

A recent post on a Korean online community reignited interest in Ryu Jin’s two sons, who have become well known among Korean audiences thanks to occasional appearances alongside their father on television and social media.

Ryu Jin, a veteran actor recognized for his striking appearance and long-running career in the entertainment industry, has often been praised for his family’s exceptional looks. The latest discussion centered on photos of his two sons, with many netizens agreeing that the brothers inherited the best features from both parents.

Photos included in the post showcased the actor’s eldest and youngest sons, prompting widespread admiration from online users. Many commenters remarked that the brothers possess visuals that would easily allow them to pursue careers in the entertainment industry if they ever chose to do so.

Despite the constant praise, reports indicate that neither son currently has plans to enter the celebrity world. Instead, they appear focused on living relatively normal lives outside the spotlight.

That revelation, however, did little to stop netizens from imagining what could happen if either brother were recruited by a major entertainment company.

One of the most common observations in the discussion was the resemblance between the two brothers and members of BTS. According to many commenters, the eldest son bears a strong resemblance to Kim Seok-jin, better known as Jin, while the younger son reminds fans of Kim Tae-hyung, also known as V.

Several users noted that they had made the same comparison years ago and were surprised that the similarities remained noticeable as the boys grew older.

“Anyone can see they have the visuals to be celebrities,” one commenter wrote, while acknowledging that the decision ultimately belongs to them.

Others became curious about the family’s background, with some asking whether the boys’ mother was also a celebrity. According to commenters familiar with the family, she previously worked as a flight attendant rather than in the entertainment industry.

Among the many reactions, one particular joke drew significant attention. Multiple netizens referenced an older viral comment that humorously advised the brothers to “avoid Bang Si Hyuk at all costs.”

The joke is not meant as criticism toward Bang Si Hyuk himself. Instead, it stems from the widespread belief that if the brothers ever crossed paths with the HYBE founder, their visuals would be so impressive that he might immediately try to recruit them as trainees.

Given HYBE’s reputation for producing global stars such as BTS, fans found the idea amusing. The comment essentially suggests that the brothers possess idol-level visuals capable of attracting attention from major entertainment executives.

As the discussion continued, many users emphasized that while the brothers undoubtedly have the appearance to succeed in entertainment, they should be free to pursue whatever path they choose.

For now, neither son appears interested in becoming a singer, actor, or public figure. Nevertheless, the renewed online buzz demonstrates that their visuals continue to capture the imagination of Korean netizens, who remain convinced that they would fit right into the world of K-pop and television if they ever decided to step into the spotlight.

Until then, the playful “avoid Bang Si Hyuk” comments are likely to remain one of the internet’s favorite running jokes whenever new photos of Ryu Jin’s sons emerge online.
