Suho’s royal resemblance: Netizens marvel at EXO star’s similarity to Joseon Era Prince

Renowned for his regal appearance, EXO’s Suho has caught the attention of netizens for his uncanny resemblance to a prince from Korea’s Joseon era. Prince Yi U, known as the last prince of the Joseon Dynasty, notably resisted marrying a Japanese woman, opting instead for Lady Park Chan-ju, a Korean nobleman’s daughter.


Despite facing tragic circumstances—Prince Yi U succumbed to radiation-induced injuries after refusing immediate marriage—he left behind a poignant legacy. Before his ill-fated journey to Japan, he bid farewell to his family.

While visual records of the prince are limited, fans of EXO and netizens alike have been amazed by the striking likeness between Suho and Prince Yi U. The tragic turn of Prince Yi U’s life occurred during Japan’s war against China in the 1930s when he was compelled to serve in the Japanese army. Ultimately, his life was cut short in Hiroshima during the bombing in 1945 amid World War II. Despite these hardships, Prince Yi U’s loyalty to his Korean roots has left a lasting impression.


The striking resemblance between Suho and Prince Yi U continues to spark admiration and discussions among fans, highlighting the timeless allure of historical figures and their modern counterparts.
