Who is Greg Hsu?

Greg Hsu may be Taiwanese, but he has plenty of South Korean fans. He made his acting debut in 2013, via the Malaysian drama Dive into Love. He earned praise—and his first Golden Bell Award nomination—for appearing in 2016’s Have You Ever Fallen in Love, Miss Jiang? He also appeared in Netflix’s Nowhere Man and the thriller A Sun, which was shortlisted for the Academy Awards in 2021. In 2019, he earned a second Golden Bell Award nomination for Someday or One Day, cementing his status as a sought-after actor.

He’s also a successful musician. Greg’s 2020 single “Yesterday No More” landed at No. 1 on the KKBox Charts in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan. That same year, Greg made Forbes China’s Celebrity 100 list, ranking 69th. In 2021, he released his self-titled debut studio album. The following year saw him add another feather to his cap: a nomination for Best New Artist at the Golden Melody Awards.

Dohoon is relatively new to the K-pop scene. After training under PLEDIS Entertainment for seven years, he debuted with TWS on January 22, 2024 with their first mini-album Sparkling Blue. He’s 182cm tall, his blood type is B, and his MBTI type is ISTP, which indicates a practical and private nature. 

Dohoon graduated from Hanlim Entertainment Arts School. His MBTI type is ISTP, indicating a practical and private nature. A sports enthusiast who loves watching soccer, he’s a huge fan of Liverpool FC. Dohoon also has an interest in fashion—in fact, the other TWS members call him the group’s trendsetter. Although TWS hasn’t been around for very long, they’ve already racked up plenty of endorsement deals and won several music shows. They also signed to Universal Music Group (UMG) for global promotions.

Dohoon and Greg have a big age gap

Netizens started comparing Dohoon and Greg when some fans noticed they both have angular jaws, distinct puppy eyes, and porcelain skin. While some fans feel that they don’t look alike, others have said, “I thought of Greg as soon as I saw Dohoon!” Their physical resemblance aside, they have one stark difference: their 15-year age gap. Greg was born in 1990, which makes him 34 years old. Dohoon was born in 2005, so he’s only 19 years old.

Whether or not you agree with the visual comparison, you can’t deny that Dohoon is making a name for himself and is well on his way to becoming one of the most handsome and popular faces of K-pop’s fifth generation. – K-Pop News Writer
