NCT’s Taeyong isn’t the only K-Pop star to be linked to an anime character; during NCT 127’s Sticker return, Jungwoo was thought to resemble Inumaki Toge from Jujutsu Kaisen. However, Taeyong has pulled off a number of fantastic appearances that are genuinely unbelievable, and NCTzens believe that many of them are based on particular animation characters!
Here are some animated characters that NCTzens believe Taeyong looks like and might thus portray in real life.
1. My Hero Academia’s Shouto Todoroki
Because of his white and red hair, Taeyong’s appearance in SuperM’s “100” was very similar to Todoroki.
2. Rise Of The Guardians’ Jack Frost
For Halloween, Taeyong dressed up as Jack Frost, and fans haven’t been able to get over the similarities.
3. Cardcaptor Sakura’s Syaoran Li
He also dressed up as Syaoran Li and did a fantastic job!
4. Sakata Gintoki from Gintama NCT 127’s “Kick It” gave us one of Taeyong’s most memorable looks, which also happens to be Sakata Gintoki’s look.
5. FreeShigino !’x Kisumi
Taeyong looked great in this outfit, with his pink hair and open shirt and tie evoking the figure of Kisumi from Free!
6. Sword Art Online’s Kirikaya Kazuto
Taeyong looks a lot like Kazuto from Sword Art Online in this photograph, thanks to his black hair and dark clothes.
7. Fairy Tail’s Natsu Dragneel
Taeyong’s untidy pink hair in “Cherry Bomb” reminded me a lot of Natsu’s from Fairy Tail.
8. Naruto’s Kakashi Hatake Fans noticed that Taeyong once had a style that was reminiscent of Naruto’s Kakashi.
9. Tokyo Ghoul’s Ken Kaneki
Taeyong’s black hair reminded me a lot of Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul…
10. Hunter X Hunter’s Killua Zoldyck
While Taeyong’s white hair has been likened to Jack Frost, there is a striking connection to the character of Killua in this scene!
