The FIFA World Cup (hosted in Qatar this year) is the latest hot topic taking over the internet these days. Filled with riveting matches and athletic excellence, many have been taking an interest in the teams and their players, too.

One of the players topping the search engines in Korea is Cho GueSung (์กฐ๊ทœ์„ฑ in Korean). The soccer player on Korea's national team has become the talk of the town, not just in Korea, but among K-Culture fans, too. This is because of his handsome visuals on top of his athletic prowess. In fact, many fans have voiced that they can't believe how he can be so handsome and talented at the same time.

Some fans have even likened his visuals to that of a K-Drama actor and other fans have created K-Pop-styled edits of him, too.

Additionally, his fancam has over 6.9 million views (as of Nov. 29, 16:59 KST). These are numbers that are quite difficult to achieve for a fancam even for some idols.

In fact, he has seen a drastic increase in Instagram followers, too. Currently, he has over 1.3 million followers on the platform (as of Nov. 29, 17:02 PM KST). You can follow Cho GueSung on Instagram at @whrbtjd.

Cho GueSung has certainly expanded his fandom over the course of the world cup so far.

In recent days, Korean netizens have especially been talking about how they think he resembles some popular K-Pop idols. The idols they have mentioned include:

THE BOYZ's JuYeon...

... ATEEZ's San...

... WOODZ...

and MONSTA X's I.M.

K-Netizens have attributed this likeliness to how Cho GueSung and these idols each have a fox-like cat-type face and are extremely handsome with a rugged charm. Many other idols have been mentioned as Cho GueSung lookalikes but these four seem to be the most frequently mentioned.
