- The trend of celebrity lookalike contests reached its K-pop chapter.
- A Jungkook-inspired event took place at Ping Tom Memorial Park.
- Social media personality Andrew Alexander emerged as the winner.
Among droves of BTS fans vying for the title, social media personality Andrew Alexander emerged as the winner, taking home a $20 cash prize and a bottle of Soju.
Alexander, a California-based university student and YouTube content creator, is no stranger to Jungkook comparisons. In a 2018 YouTube video, his sister Ashley had humorously remarked, “A lot of people say he looks like [Jungkook].” Amber, another sibling, added, “It’s so funny every video we post, there’s at least 20 new people that are like, ‘I don’t know if anyone’s ever said this, but Andrew looks like Jungkook.’”

For the contest, Andrew fully embraced the resemblance, donning Jungkook-inspired tattoos, piercings, and a signature black outfit. His sister Ashley documented the preparations, captioning on TikTok, “He flew from LA; we flew from NY.”
Fans reacted strongly to his win. “Andrew is actually the ONLY one who looked like Jungkook,” one commented, while another quipped, “Kinda crazy how they let Jungkook win his own lookalike competition.”
This victory underscores Alexander’s unexpected journey as a Jungkook lookalike, a tale fans describe as “years in the making.”
