Yet, this time, photos with BTS‘s J-Hope and Jin have sparked comments that the HYBE founder looks unrecognizable. On March 2, after J-Hope’s recent show in Seoul, Bang Si Hyuk shared a photo with the idol and then one with both J-Hope and Jin (who attended the final show).

When the photos were posted, netizens thought Bang Si Hyuk looked different, with some saying he looked much younger and not like his usual self.

Even on X, many thought he looked very different, not just because of the weight loss.
