Saya was first introduced to the public on TV Chosun’s ‘Lovers of Joseon.’ Little did she know that her appearance would captivate the attention of fans worldwide due to her uncanny resemblance to BTS’s Jungkook. Many remarked that she looked like the debut-era Jungkook in a wig. Not just because of her uncanny resemblance but also because some of their mannerism matched. It was the same doe-eyes and bunny teeth that sealed the deal for most.
Overcoming their age difference, with Shim Hyung Tak born in 1978 and Hirai Saya in 1995, the couple is now preparing to exchange vows in July, reported Kbizoom. Recently, they completed their marriage registration in Japan, solidifying their status as a legally married couple even before their upcoming wedding.
With the spotlight on this unexpected connection between Jungkook and Shim Hyung Tak’s fiancee, fans eagerly await interactions and revelations that may arise in the future. This delightful coincidence has undoubtedly sparked joy among ARMYs and fans of the popular actor.
