Suho's unexpected resemblance to this royalty shocked fans, and even sparked discussion among netizens.

Here's what people are saying.

Suho Viral for Uncanny Resemblance to Prince Yi U

EXO leader and actor Suho is not only known for his singing at acting skills, but also for his regal visuals. He is often lauded for his prince-like beauty.

Surprisingly, he became the center of attention online due to his resemblance to the previous prince of Korea, Prince Yi U.

According to a source, Yi U is dubbed as the "last prince" of the Joseon Dynasty. He was born in 1912, two years after the annexation of Korea from Japanese rule.

The late prince was popular for his devotion to his Korean heritage despite pressure in his position to bow to the foreign nation.

Despite his loyalty to his ancestors, Yi U was still forced to serve in the Japanese military in the early 1930s. During World War II, he was stationed in Hiroshima when the first atomic bomb was dropped by the US in 1945.

Unfortunately, he died during the attack due to injuries caused by the radiation.

He lost his life at the age of 32 and there weren't many pictures of him taken during his short life.

However, EXO-Ls had found a way and looked for Prince Yi U's photos because of his uncanny resemblance to EXO's leader, Suho.

The topic went viral in an online forum, where K-Netz expressed their confusion over Suho's close resemblance to the last prince of the Joseon Dynasty.

• "He does look like Suho."
• "I thought they were trolling and made an idol photo black and white. Wow, he's so modern?!"
• "The forehead, and eyes look like Suho."
• "Suho! What are you doing here?"
• "It's fascinating because Suho really has such a regal face befitting for a prince."
• "He is not Prince Suho for nothing."
