Recently, a hot topic has been igniting Korean online communities after “Min Hee Jin” and “Bang Si Hyuk” were spotted leisurely strolling through a shopping mall in China.

Photos have been circulating showing “Min Hee Jin” in her signature style: a green striped shirt and blue baseball cap, the exact same outfit she wore to a press conference where she spoke publicly about HYBE . Next to her was “Bang Si Hyuk” dressed in a black t-shirt and khaki pants, very similar to the one he wore in Los Angeles when he was spotted with streamer Juicy Seyeon .

These images left some Korean netizens puzzled, wondering why the former ADOR CEO and HYBE chairman were suddenly going on a low-key shopping spree overseas.

It turned out that the two people were actually Chinese fans dressed as "Min Hee Jin" and "Bang Si Hyuk" for an early Halloween.

Reactions from Korean netizens varied:

“ My God, that really scared me.”

" I was curious to know what it was."

" Completely crazy."

" Halloween, lol. I really feel the huge influence of K-pop. These two people probably dressed like this because a lot of people would recognize them."

" It's so funny."

" I find it amusing."

" It's funny they added the Dispatch watermark, lol."

" I don't find this funny at all..."

" They dressed very precisely."

" It's impressive."

" For a moment I thought it was true."

" They really know how to have fun."

" That's so disgusting, lol. I thought it was real."

" I don't see what's funny about that..."

" I think it's a light joke. People shouldn't take it too seriously."

“ Min Hee Jin doesn’t deserve to be mocked like this.”
