Broadcaster Jang Seong-gyu is enjoying the controversy over his resemblance to actor Byun Woo-seok.

On the 25th, Jang Seong-gyu posted on his personal SNS, "Enough already. Please stop the reports about how my side profile looks exactly like Byun Woo-seok. This is the last post regarding actor Byun Woo-seok," while sharing a photo of Byun Woo-seok taken in the exact same composition as his own selfie.

Jang Seong-gyu continued, "I don't want to cause any more trouble," while adding "#LostBrothers," proudly displaying his vaguely similar visual to Byun Woo-seok.

Previously, on the 12th, Jang Seong-gyu drew attention for wearing the exact same makeup as Byun Woo-seok in the MBC drama "21st Century Grand Duchess." At the time, he said, "It's not Byun Woo-seok, just Byun," and shared various hot reactions from online communities. In fact, most netizens responded with comments such as, "It's not Byun Woo-seok, but it doesn't seem like Jang Seong-gyu either," "The makeup isn't a resemblance, but it's a complete copy. The technical skill is worthy of intangible cultural heritage," "It's a lower version of Byun Woo-seok," "What did Byun Woo-seok do wrong?", "He looks like a top-tier musical actor with great skills," and "I thought Byun Woo-seok had become ugly."

Subsequently, on the 23rd, Jang Seong-gyu publicly apologized, saying, "I want to avoid a lawsuit at all costs. I apologize for impersonation, everyone. In fact, I am not actor Byun Woo-seok, just Byun."

Jang Seong-gyu married fellow elementary school classmate Lee Yu-mi in early May 2014 and has two sons. In 2021, he purchased a building in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for 6.5 billion won. The current market value of the property is reported to be over 10 billion won.
