The Hallyu world is turning into a zoo as fans can't help but associate their favorite artists to the cutest animals that have similar features! This 2022, there are four notable animal associations that represent actors in spite of not sharing any semblance with their appearances. Read on to know more!
Ahn Hyo Seop
Earlier this year, Ahn Hyo Seop decorated the small screen with his masculine charisma as a handsome CEO in "A Business Proposal."
Due to his sharp, chiseled features and cold aura, Shin Ha Ri (Kim Sejeong) describes him as an Archaeopteryx, a bird from ages ago who share the same brooding aura.
Although it was an insult at first, the fans grew to love the combination of the two and even started using a bird emoji when referring to the gorgeous actor online.
Song Kang
In the controversial Netflix drama "Nevertheless," Song Kang portrayed the role of a charming college student who's afraid of commitments.
In the show, he has a butterfly tattoo. In Korean, butterfly is translated into Na Bi, which is also the name of the female character, played by Han So Hee.

This animal, or specifically, insect, has been in the show more than Song Kang. Because of this, the fans associate the beautiful butterfly to the actor since the show's premiere.
In particular, Song Kang used butterflies as an excuse to flirt with Han So Hee's character, and even drew butterflies on women's hands whom he felt attracted to.
Park Eun Bin
Who didn't experience the Woo to the Young to the Woo syndrome? If you've seen "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," you'd know that Park Eun Bin's character, an autistic lawyer, is obsessed with sea life.
She loves fishes and dolphins, but whales are her ultimate favorite. In the drama, whales constantly appear, reflecting Park Eun Bin's character's personality and emotions.

Park Eun Bin also compared herself to a beluga whale who struggles to fit in among other sea creatures. With this, the connection of the actress and the animal became more intense, convincing fans.
Lee Jong Suk
In "Big Mouth," Lee Jong Suk was framed as the dangerous criminal that is also known as "Big Mouse."
As the new drama airs and continues to refer to Lee Jong Suk as "Big Mouse," the image just sticks to the minds of the audiences.
Because of this, fans couldn't help but to associate the small animal to Lee Jong Suk whenever he appears online, even in posting pictures.
