Kim Na-young and DAWN joke about being relatives after 10 years

Broadcaster Kim Na-young and singer DAWN joked about being biological siblings on the YouTube channel "Kim Na-young's No Filter TV" on the 8th. After being noted as lookalikes for 10 years, the pair discovered they both belong to the Gimhae Kim clan.

Broadcaster Kim Na-young has raised an unexpected "family theory" after meeting singer DAWN, with whom she has been noted to look alike for approximately 10 years. The two, who have frequently exchanged comments about how their eyes and smiling expressions are similar, went as far as to confirm their maternal clan origin, creating an atmosphere akin to biological siblings. Kim Na-young reacted excitedly, stating, "I think there is something on my mother's side," while DAWN burst into laughter, noting that he had only recently discovered the resemblance.

A video featuring DAWN, formerly of the group PENTAGON, as a guest was released on the YouTube channel "Kim Na-young's No Filter TV" on the 8th. Ahead of the meeting, Kim Na-young introduced DAWN as having "a bit of a feeling of being my lost younger brother," referencing their long-standing connection as lookalikes. Although there is a 13-year age gap between 45-year-old Kim Na-young and 32-year-old DAWN, they have been told they resemble each other for about 10 years.

The resemblance dates back to DAWN's trainee days before his debut. DAWN stated that he debuted in 2016 and that people around him had been telling him he looked like Kim Na-young since his trainee photos were released. Kim Na-young confirmed this long-standing commonality, noting she has frequently heard that she resembles DAWN in the past.

The two had previously met once on the Netflix variety show "Wardrobe Wars." However, as they were unable to discuss their resemblance sufficiently at that time, they engaged in a full comparison of their faces during this meeting. Upon facing each other closely, Kim Na-young gave an unexpected reaction, saying, "I'm not sure if we look alike even when I look this closely." DAWN, who initially thought similarly, changed his mind, stating, "I can see the resemblance now."

The first feature DAWN pointed out was the eyes. He demonstrated by making a smiling expression, noting that Kim Na-young has similar slight double eyelids on the inner part of her eyes. The debate over their resemblance continued interestingly as the production staff also agreed with his explanation that their faces become similar when they smile.

While comparing their faces, the two discovered commonalities in their surnames and clan origins. DAWN's real name is Kim Hyo-jong, and his clan origin is the Gimhae Kim clan. Upon learning this, Kim Na-young revealed that her mother is also from the Gimhae Kim clan, imagining an unexpected possibility of blood relation. She expressed a strange sense of certainty, saying, "I think there is something on my mother's side."

Kim Na-young expressed great joy toward DAWN, saying, "You are almost my younger brother. We are from the same family." For the two, who have been told they look alike for nearly 10 years, the situation unfolded like finding lost family members as they confirmed their eye shapes and shared their clan origin. However, the production staff added humor by displaying a caption stating that there are approximately 4.46 million people in the Gimhae Kim clan, providing a realistic twist to the commonality that seemed to support their family theory.

The impressions they had of each other during their first meeting were also revealed. Kim Na-young stated that she initially thought DAWN, whom she saw on broadcasts, would be somewhat difficult to approach, but found him to be very comfortable in person. She explained that his smooth and easygoing personality was different from what she expected.

DAWN also expressed affection for Kim Na-young. He named her as his YouTube role model, highly praising her content for its bright, harmless energy and the process of discovering her own tastes. He added warmth to the moment by describing the charm of Kim Na-young's videos as having "a lot of human scent."

As the 10-year connection of being lookalikes led to an actual meeting, the playful chemistry between the two, who discovered commonalities ranging from their faces to their surnames, drew laughter from viewers. The meeting between Kim Na-young and DAWN, who recognized each other's content and charm beyond their resemblance, became a special moment that reaffirmed their long-standing connection.
