Netizens often accuse idols of copying others when it comes to style and fashion. However, netizens recently accused solo singer IU of copying something a little harder to imitate.
According to a netizen on Instiz, IU’s smile is so similar to former f(x) member Sulli‘s smile that a post was created to show how similar the two look.
The post compared several gifs and images of IU and Sulli, concluding that the two singers both share a unique open-mouth, teeth-baring smile. However, because the two are very close friends, having a similar smile doesn’t necessarily mean IU is conscious copying Sulli.

On October 16th, a post on Hankooki mentioned these similarities as it highlighted their round, small face and gentle, long hair.
The similarities were further enhanced by their tendency to look cute and bright in front of the camera and coincidentally their recent admission of dating fellow artists in the industry.
Just recently, IU was confirmed to be dating Chang Ki Ha, while Hyunyoung is revealed to be in a relationship with singer, Alex.
What do you think of the photo? Do you think they look alike?

The video, filmed in stop motion, has a cute and quirky Indie touch with the adorable IU not minding all the things in her hair. The track heavily uses an upbeat piano-laden tempo that introduces her echoey vocalizations and ends with her stating the title.
