[theqoo] THE PRODUCE 2 TRAINEE WHO'S BEEN COPYING GD FOR 15 YEARS

Yesterday, Produce 2 trainee Jo Kyumin appeared on tvN's "Martian But It's Okay" as G-Dragon's doppelganger

He's been following GD for 15 years...

That's right, he's the same guy who caused a huge controversy about 10 years ago for impersonating GD

"Taking up the streets because he's copying GD's fashion"

"Jo Kyumin impersonating GD yesterday at Hongdae. He even copied his signature bow"

(Featured as GD's character in Crispi Crunch's MV)

It's not an issue if he simply copies GD

But he's earning money from impersonating him

He even signed on GD's poster

He even held events in China calling himself Zdragon

He receives fans' tributes and even signs on GD's posters

Jo Kyumin has appeared on countless broadcasts and events under the name of GD.

▶2011 SBS Hallyu Olympics

2014 MBC Star Look-Alike Competition

2015 SBS Star King

2016 Channel A's You Who Look Like a Star (Pretending to be GD and busking in Hongdae)

2025 tvN's Martian, But That's Okay

And so on... He's also appeared in various events in China.

The tributes he received as a GD impersonator

"I got blacklisted because of my GD impersonation controversies. People were fighting over the votes in the show, I didn't get any so I got eliminated"

That's the interview he gave because he got eliminated due to BigBang's fans and not receiving any votes

But the truth is, he didn't practice and couldn't dance, which gave birth to the legendary Kahi meme.

The trainees who weren't chosen until the end were grouped together and then eliminated.

After Produce, he declared he wouldn't imitate GD anymore

+ In an interview last July, 2024, he said,

"I hate being told I look like G-Dragon the most."

However, as you know, in October last year, GD announced his comeback

And now he's back at copying GD

Now he pretends to be a victim saying things like:

“I hate being told I look like him the most. I didn’t copy him, it’s just a trend. I couldn’t help it because people told me to (copy him). It’s all just a rumor.”

Let aside the fact that he doesn't look like GD at all, GD himself doesn't even accept tributes. But he pretends to be GD yet still accepts them?

2. [+72, -0]

He didn't only host events as Z-dragon in China, he literally went on tour there

3. [+68, -0]

The only thing that's similar between them is their gender?

4. [+67, -1]

I remember that Hongdae guerilla date he had while pretending to be GD ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ People at the bottom all thought he was GD and waved at him, doesn't he realize he's scamming them?

5. [+66, -0]

With all the BS he's been pulling, I bet he believes himself to be GD. But he's also worried GD might take action. The thing is if he's been doing this for 15 years, it's starting to look more like a mental illness. We need to start taking action..
