    Yay ^.^ I got them all right…
    is cuter in my opinion, though.

    Yay ^.^ I got them all right…
    Won Bin is cuter in my opinion, though…
    I killed the last post…sorry!

  3. 3 yetaz November 13, 2007 at 9:08 am

    WOW. They look alike. But of course Won Bin is preferred.

  4. 4 jenn November 13, 2007 at 9:10 am

    how can you mistaken the beautiful Won Bin for his look-alike? They don’t even look alike, I’m happy to say.

  5. 5 Meru November 13, 2007 at 9:11 am

    Oh wow, that was so hard… cute pictures of Kimura, though.

  6. 6 yeli November 13, 2007 at 9:14 am

    i was actually confused by the first pic but the rest are so clear. There is no way i can mistake Kimura Takuya. I have seen almost every drama that he has made that is available with subs..lol…his dramas are so freaking addicting! Even when i think i wont like one of them, i end up being addicted to it by the third episode. Such a mystery o_O

    and of course Won Bin is very talented too but i have only seen him in Autumn Love Story, Friends and that crazy funny movie Guns and Talks..lol..i wish he would come back with another drama! What is he planning to do?

  7. 7 ......... November 13, 2007 at 9:18 am

    that was easy. tho they look so much alike, u can tell

  8. 8 funkoffan November 13, 2007 at 9:19 am

    백% - yay… Won bin has much nicer eyes in my opinion - but I like Kimura’s lips. Either or.

  9. 9 nina November 13, 2007 at 9:44 am

    yea. they share too many similarities. although i can still tell them apart. i scored an A. hehe. they’re so mesmerizing. having two can’t hurt.

    ALTHOUGH!!! I have to disagree w Popseoul because Kimutaku is not a Won Bin look a like!! He’s like the king of Japanese dramas, and Won Bin, well, he’s hot and young, maybe he’ll replace Kimutaku in the near future.

  10. 10 akon November 13, 2007 at 10:29 am

    won bin :)

  11. 11 timoshi huang November 13, 2007 at 10:40 am

    wonbin.

  12. 12 popeye November 13, 2007 at 10:44 am

    *grin*

    got them all in my bag.

  13. 13 grace November 13, 2007 at 10:51 am

    gosh. both are so beautiful. ^___^

  14. 14 jackie November 13, 2007 at 10:53 am

    won bin!!!! stop hiding and go back under the spotlight. we need some serious eye candy.

  15. 15 Annie November 13, 2007 at 11:00 am

    I like Won bin, but excuse me, the look alike is 40 something already and been exist long before Won bin. How can you say your mom or your dad look like you? it’s the opposite way. THEREFORE, Won bin look like Takuya Kimura not the other side, well anyway. both are cutie at a different time, Kimutaku’s great actor,singer,dancer,and musician and a very funny and a very cute guy, the other hand, Won bin is just an eye candy and a good actor.

  16. 16 ed November 13, 2007 at 11:23 am

    whoa this is a great post for monday :D takuya has been around so long, i don’t know how one can not recognize him from the others. man, he looks small-boned next to WB.

  17. 17 Arie November 13, 2007 at 11:24 am

    I deserve a cookie, got them all right :3~
    Though they are a little bit alike, it’s still easy to tell them apart! Specially since there is a difference in Korean and Japanese styles..
    I don’t know, but I tell them apart with no difficulty, though I’m western XD
    -I think I’ve watched to many TV dramas u.u-

  18. 18 ---- November 13, 2007 at 11:37 am

    I knew it. BUT it was a LITTLE bit hard to choose between the first two pictures. hahahah

  19. 19 eli November 13, 2007 at 12:08 pm

    got them all right.
    :] prefer Won Bin than Takuya. heee

  20. 20 Jackie November 13, 2007 at 12:14 pm

    i got them all right and i dont think they look alike– my cousin looks way more like Won Bin and he’s Mexican hah hah hah

  21. 21 jp4675 November 13, 2007 at 12:28 pm

    Got all four right. But I don’t think they look that much alike. If you’ve seen Kimutaku’s dramas, you would have to get them right. His nose is a dead giveaway. ;) I really love Kimutaku. :)

  22. 22 Raihana November 13, 2007 at 12:35 pm

    Takuya.. anytime..WonBin is as hot has anybody seen the Levi’s cf??….Gawdd….!! Takuya Kimura is pure sex!!

  23. 23 Alisha November 13, 2007 at 12:51 pm

    I got it all right. I seen most of Takuya Kimura’s dramas, so it was easy to point out who’s who. I love Takuya, not just for his looks, but his acting skills, voice, shoot even his personality too. He brings out the fun side in a talk show. In the cooking/talk show Bistro SMAP ft. Ueno Juri & Tamaki Hiroshi, I was laughing so much. :] As for Wonbin, I only saw him in Autumn in my heart, so I can’t judge him yet.

  24. 24 princess.sharon November 13, 2007 at 12:59 pm

    Kimutaku is so charasmatic in all his dramas! Won Bin is cute and adorable, and he was amazing in Taegukki! They are both wonderful~~! *^^*

  25. 25 Narae November 13, 2007 at 1:20 pm

    The first one was the hardest…i failed..hahaha

  26. 26 hanie November 13, 2007 at 1:38 pm

    yay!!!
    i got all correct..
    now you put them(their pics) side by side,they do look alike..

  27. 27 Gail November 13, 2007 at 2:12 pm

    got them all right because i’ve seen those pics at soompi. in fact, i’ve bookmarked that thread. heehee. i love kimutaku’s eyes, and his cocky intensity. won bin is just delish. so either way, we win. :D

  28. 28 varms November 13, 2007 at 2:19 pm

    Ewww, that pic of them both with long hair gave me the bajeebies… But this quiz is dang easy…… Kimura has sexier lips while won bin, i just feel like tucking him in bed…

  29. 29 carmen November 13, 2007 at 2:29 pm

    hmm..i actually dont see any resemblance between the 2

  30. 30 mackten November 13, 2007 at 2:57 pm

    kimura looks good for his age! They’re both hot looking…

  31. 31 Lana November 13, 2007 at 3:10 pm

    HHAAAAA, I GOT THEM ALL RIGHT! COOKIES FOR MEEEEE!!!!!!

    Takuya is hot!

  32. 32 mZanNn* November 13, 2007 at 3:21 pm

    won bin is definitely yummier !

  33. 33 nikki November 13, 2007 at 3:33 pm

    sigh…fortunately for most of us, god must’ve been super happy when he made them :)

  34. 34 SAE-BIN November 13, 2007 at 3:59 pm

    that was easy..
    but wth, that guy really looks like wonbin O___O;;

  35. 35 meeh November 13, 2007 at 4:36 pm

    they so lookalike, they can be sibing or even twin LOL!!
    anyway, all my answers re right…

  36. 36 jicks November 13, 2007 at 5:01 pm

    W/ all due respect, that was exceptionally easy. But maybe that’s because I am a fan of both =)
    So… Won Bin or Takuya Kimura? Fwsh, they’re both ridiculously good-looking <3

  37. 37 yamonee November 13, 2007 at 6:09 pm

    frankly, even though won bin’s better looking, he can’t match kimura’s charisma!

  38. 38 DaeBoRa November 13, 2007 at 6:57 pm

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY WONBIN (1977-Nov-10)!!!
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAKUYA(1972-Nov-13)!!!

  39. 39 Icysnowqueen November 13, 2007 at 7:35 pm

    I got them all right too! :) They are to me still different.

  40. 40 SS November 13, 2007 at 7:47 pm

    Happy birthday Kimutaku-sama. lol

    And Annie, how could you say Kimura is 40 something. The poor guy is only 35 and only 5 years older than won-bin.
    Granted that he married early but 40+ is a bit overboard there. lol.

    Anyway Kimura all the way. But Kimura a “look-a-like”? Surely not. All the photos are so easy to tell apart. XD

  41. 41 kris November 13, 2007 at 7:52 pm

    Personally, I don’t think they even look alike. And Kimutaku is older so it’s not “Won Bin and his look-a-like Takuya Kimura”

    ==;

  42. 42 Aya November 13, 2007 at 8:12 pm

    Dude, they don’t look alike, and Japanese people dont look like Koreans. Its weird that a person who I assume is of asian heritage would believe these two look alike.

  43. 43 Naqiyyah November 13, 2007 at 8:14 pm

    Wow, I think they both look the same, But somehow, I prefer Won Bin :D

  44. 44 Lena November 13, 2007 at 8:33 pm

    Aya, I’m Asian, and I can see why people (Asian or not) think they resemble each other. They have their own distinctive looks, but their individual features do look similar. (Btw, it’s a bit of a sweeping generalization to say that Japanese people don’t look like Koreans/vice-versa, any two people of any race can look alike!)

  45. 45 junsufan November 13, 2007 at 8:43 pm

    Haha..got them all correct!! I like Won Bin better..XD

  46. 46 snowqueen November 13, 2007 at 9:44 pm

    They’re both equally hot but as for personality they’re completely opposite. Kimura’s honest and just says what’s on his mind but Won Bin’s shy and introverted. As for talent and charisma, Kimura pawns Won Bin on every level. I mean the guy is always oozing with charisma. Plus, he’s been in the entertainment world for more than 20 years now. He debuted when he was only 14, that’s why many people think he’s 40+. Yeah that’s my little rant. Too bad he’s married and have kids already. haha but his daughters are adorable. I swear that the younger one is a spitting image of Kimura.

  47. 47 anonymous-y November 13, 2007 at 10:00 pm

    eh. too easy… but i don’t get the comparison. yes, there’s resemblance in some angles but they’re insignificant. it’s still easy to distinguish kimura from wonbin, esp if you’re familiar with both.

  48. 48 Dumpling November 13, 2007 at 11:35 pm

    That was TOO easy, even the childhood pic.

    And anyway, Won Bin’s look-a-like is not Kimura, it’s Takeshi Kaneshiro–particulary when Kaneshiro was younger and had more meat on his bones.

  49. 49 Dumpling November 13, 2007 at 11:36 pm

    Kimura didn’t marry early. He was 28, almost 29 when he married. That is a normal marrying age just about anywhere in the world.

  50. 50 SS November 14, 2007 at 12:47 am

    Hey I consider it still quite early especially in entertainment circles and he was at the peak of his career when he married. Others of his age in the entertainment business has not married yet.

  51. 51 monalisa November 14, 2007 at 2:24 am

    As far as I’m aware, Mr Kimura is divorced, not married. Or did I miss reading about he having got married again?

  52. 52 drea November 14, 2007 at 2:41 am

    I dont know if it’s just me, but 4A pic resembles Eric a bit

  53. 53 hearmeroar November 14, 2007 at 4:43 am

    as IF i wouldn’t recognize my future husband (wonbin ;D)!

    …hey, a girl can dream, can’t she? >:( hahahhahahaha

  54. 54 jessy November 14, 2007 at 5:55 am

    Some people need some serios TRUE facts on KimuTaku here!
    MONALISA, no Kimura and Kudo are STILL MARRIED! This month is actually their 7th anniversary.
    DUMPLING, Kimura got married when he was 27. It is a young age to get married for a lot of reasons. 1)His wife was 30+ 2)He was the first and only Johnny’s to get married(all the rest of SMAP guys are all in their 30’s now and still not married)
    SNOWQUEEN, you gotta pic of her daughters? can you send it to me? plz!

  55. 55 Meru November 14, 2007 at 7:00 am

    I think it’s a lot of the fan’s fantasy that Kimura’s divorced XD Especially since they don’t like Kudo and speculations that he married her coz he got her preggers. And I thought Goro, or Nakai was married once.

  56. 56 tangy November 14, 2007 at 7:20 am

    aaahh man i got the first on wrong……wow binny’s had some major double eyelid surgery
    haha the first B looks like se7en ^^

  57. 57 Dumpling November 14, 2007 at 8:09 am

    It’s not a speculation that Kimura married Kudo because she was pregnant. It’s a fact.

    Which doesn’t mean he doesn’t love his wife and didn’t want to be married. It is also speculated by some that in fact Kimura DID want to marry Kudo and the “accident” pregnancy was on purpose because Johnny wouldn’t have “let” Kimura marry any other way except if his girlfriend got pregnant and then Kimura would have to. Kimura seems to be a VERY happy, satisfied family man and I’m glad for him.

  58. 58 Dumpling November 14, 2007 at 8:10 am

    One more thing: if Kimura didn’t want to be married and only did it becuase of the pregnancy, then he and Kudo wouldn’t have gone ahead and had a second pregnancy less than 2 years later. Kimura WANTED the family he has. Screw the fans.

  59. 59 Dumpling November 14, 2007 at 8:12 am

    @ Jessy

    Thanks for the correction.

    And…

    TODAY IS KIMURA’S BIRTHDAY. (It’s the day before mine) He is 35 years old today. :)

  60. 60 queen juliebee November 14, 2007 at 8:25 am

    they’re both HOT! but personally, kimura appeals to me more.. it’s the charisma~~!

  61. 61 Meru November 14, 2007 at 11:01 am

    Unless Kimura himself made that statement to the public, then they’re all speculations. And his fans are a part of his fame, so meh, anyway can’t expect much facts from a gossip blog.

  62. 62 Bloo November 14, 2007 at 11:02 am

    I hope you’re fkin’ joking when you said Takuya is Won Bin’s look-a-like. Have some respect for your elders man.

  63. 63 Dumpling November 14, 2007 at 11:06 am

    Whatever, Meru. You don’t exactly have a track record for bright ideas.

  64. 64 Meru November 14, 2007 at 11:13 am

    Getting personal? Please, you’ve said enough.

  65. 65 sasuke November 14, 2007 at 11:41 am

    Dang they look so alike! I like Kimura’s child picture better, but in general I prefer Wonbin. Like duh.

  66. 66 sasuke November 14, 2007 at 11:42 am

    PopSeoul, you should do more of these kinds of posts.

  67. 67 madyjune November 14, 2007 at 3:11 pm

    The 3rd picture would have confused if I hadn’t seen that picture of Won Bin before.

  68. 68 honeyTHEhottest November 14, 2007 at 5:08 pm

    ^me too. that 3rd pic was reaaallly confusing. still, won bin is younger, so i prefer him…plus kimura is married. :(

  69. 69 blinkable November 14, 2007 at 8:00 pm

    only a bit similar..I totali can differentiate them!

  70. 70 Dumpling November 14, 2007 at 10:45 pm

    @ Meru,

    No, Meru, YOU made it “personal” when you wrote “meh, can’t expect much from a gossip blog”. You basically either called some of us liars, or some of us ignorant. People CAN (and often do) post *facts” on gossip blogs. Just becuase it’s a gossip blog doesn’t mean everything written here is a lie or speculation. Some of us actually know what we’re talking about.

    Like I said, you aren’t exactly the harbinger of bright ideas…or deep thoughts. So next time, if you don’t want someone to “get personal” then don’t follow up other peoples’ comments with “meh” and then proceed to invalidate their contribution unless you are prepared to offer FACTS to prove them wrong. If you can’t prove them wrong then “meh” just makes you look silly.

  71. 71 rita November 14, 2007 at 11:23 pm

    No surprise they have similar facial features because they are the best looking man from Japan and Korea respectively. Won Bin will shine when he comes back. He is still very handsome and hot.

  72. 72 pelican November 15, 2007 at 1:16 am

    I don’t see much facial similarity except in some pics when they both pout their rubber-like lips lol. Takuya has a somewhat girlish look, skinny face with sharp chin while Won Bin’s face is distinctly fuller,squarer chin, higher cheek bones and larger nose. Surprise! Takuya and I have the same birthday!

  73. 73 Meru November 15, 2007 at 2:11 am

    If my comment somehow was offensive to you, I apologize. You’re trying to start a pointless argument with me and I’m not interested. You disagree with me, I understand and I’m fine with it. I’m not here to prove anyone “wrong” or force my opinions on anyone nor do I think my opinions are superior. You, on the other hand, have repeatedly reply to me with malice and insults. Perhaps you find a sense of accomplishment from doing so, if that’s the case, you have my pity.

  74. 74 jisubaddict November 15, 2007 at 10:42 am

    Kimura’s so gentle with the puppy, Won Bin looks like he’s strangling the poor thing =] It doesn’t look happy LOL. Anyways, for looks yes everyone knows that they look alike but as for age and popularity and talent-wise, Kimura is compared to the one and only Jang Dong Gun.

  75. 75 erica November 15, 2007 at 12:39 pm

    they both smokin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  76. 76 Annie November 15, 2007 at 4:38 pm

    I’ve watched all of Kimura’s drama. Best actor in Asia in my opinion.

    Who is cuter: Won Bin
    Who would I rather date: Kimura because he’s rich as hell and very down to earth. He’s devoted and I will never fear that he will cheat on me (his love history).

  77. 77 nacom202 November 16, 2007 at 1:03 pm

    i got them all right
    WOOHOOO!
    XDDDDDDDDDDD

  78. 78 DieuAn November 21, 2007 at 6:59 am

    HAHAHA that was just too easy…Maybe because I’ve seen Won Bin’s pics more than 100 times but I don’t even know the other guy.

  79. 79 kikay*..* January 9, 2008 at 2:44 pm

    i love both of them. they are both gorgeous.
    we almost have the same birthday! mine is nov 12.
    yeah, who cares?!

    *..*

  80. 80 umabharathi January 16, 2008 at 7:02 pm

    Dear Takuya your so sexy n i love u

  81. 81 Promote Korean food February 7, 2008 at 6:17 am

    but korea’s weakness is that korean culture and food is not popular like how Japan is. Everybody knows about Japan, but Korea is still not well known.

    Koreans need to work very hard in promoting their country’s culture and food.

    Korean food needs to be popular in every continent.

    Promote Korean food, products, and culture to the world.

    CASS beer rules!

  82. 82 michelle95 February 8, 2008 at 7:39 pm

    OH!MY GOD THEY EXACTLY LOOK THE SAME MAN!

  83. 83 ginger vitality February 8, 2008 at 8:16 pm

    haha.Well what to say, I get all right. Whoa..

    But yes we have to say that it is Kimura Takuya look alike. He is the elder one, come to the industry most outstanding actor in Asia. Very versatile and talented in acting.

    But yeah, this blog is Korea pop, so I agreed.

    Tough I knew the name of both actor first is Won Bin in my life through Autmn in My Heart, but somehow he didnt appeal to me. I heard everyone is over his smoking sexy body, but weird ha, not so ineterested.

    Later on only that I discovered about kimura Takuya. And what the heck! He is extremlly talented and just blew you down with his staring and charisma.

    Nonetheless, as much as I have watched korean drama, no one can exceed my expectation over him. Next come So Ji Sub, Uhm Tea Wan..

    The best performence of him is in Million Star Falling From The Skya and recent one that he won the best actor in Asian award. Didnt remembered the name of the award. But yeah he is one in a million. Pure talent and full charisma.

    He just like that and you will drawn in his character. Beside, his band has lasted until now almost 15 yaers and sold the most and topped charted.

    With a marriage and two daughter or did h get a new born baby? He just the man that you want to be with

    On the other hand, Won Bin is eye candy with sexy look-but Kimura also has known as has sexy look.Good actor in Takeugi…

    But has looooong way to go. Long very long way to go.
    Yet, Won Bin has a lot of potiental and he is smoking sexy, so why not give him chance?

  84. 84 ManduYUM February 9, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    i got them all right because i have seen all of those pics before….
    i am addicted to won bin. but that guy does look like won bin… but won bin is still hotter!

  85. 85 lan February 9, 2008 at 12:24 pm

    You should learn how to judge people not by their hotness only. Know both side then you can judge equally. But yes. Won Bin is hot.

  86. 86 mich February 19, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    that guy is not comparable to Takuya Kimura. TK is 10000000000000000x better than him,,,,his only advantage is he’s younger.

  87. 87 widdya February 23, 2008 at 2:46 pm

    i prefer kimutaku than won bin. takuya is more hansome than won bin,,he is more interesting as well,.

  88. 88 PrincessAyra February 24, 2008 at 12:33 am

    i answered everything correctly.yay!^^
    and i have to agree, it must be the other way around.
    Won Bin is Kimura Takuya’s look-alike.^^

  89. 89 Deniz September 18, 2008 at 11:45 am

    I agree that won bin is not comparable to Takuya! Takuya is overly sexy!!!

  90. 90 kimura takuya fan September 18, 2008 at 6:46 pm

    i love kimura takuya. don’t know much about won bin at all. the other day, my friends and i saw this and obviously i was for kimura takuya while my friend likes won bin. another friend does not know who either one was and she actually said won bin is better looking. but, i made her watch some kimura takuya dramas and she now says that she thinks kimura takuya is better…lol…i think that only after watching kimura takuya act can someone know why he’s so famous, cause he seriously oozes charisma when he’s acting
