In K-pop, there's a curious trend that's been catching the eye: male and female idols often share the same names. As these idols, each with their distinct flair and talent, go by the same name, they enrich K-pop's vibrant scene, adding depth and diversity to this global phenomenon.

K-pop emphasizes the importance of individuality and talent, as these idols, despite sharing a common name, bring distinct qualities and skills to the stage. Here are some of the popular male and female K-pop idols with the same names:

JISOO

Kim Jisoo (BLACKPINK) and Hong Jisoo (SEVENTEEN)


JIMIN

Park Jimin (BTS) and Shin Jimin (formerly AOA)



JIWON

Kim Jiwon (iKON) and Park Jiwon (fromis_9)

EUNWOO

Cha Eunwoo (ASTRO) and Jung Eunwoo (Former PRISTIN and HINAPIA)


DAWON

Dawon (SF9) and Nam Dawon (WJSN)


HYUNJIN

SOOBIN

JUYEON

Son Juyeon (WJSN) and Lee Juyeon (THE BOYZ)


YUJIN

While the K-pop industry is renowned for its meticulously curated images and carefully crafted personas, the overlap in names between male and female idols underscores the universality of certain names. As K-pop continues to captivate audiences worldwide, fans are anticipating the debut of more male and female idols with the same names.
