Thai actor Sahaphap Wongratch has been gaining buzz on social media in past weeks, and it’s all because of his close resemblance to Jin from BTS. A closer look at his photos reveals that from certain angles, he really is a lookalike of the K-pop singer!
While his profile says he is an actor and a singer, he has the looks and fit build to be a model, too.
Here’s what we know about the good-looking star:
He is a Thai actor who is also in a boy band
His full name is Sahaphap Wongratch but, like Jin, he has a one-syllable stage name: “Mix”. He is a member of the Thai boy band Cute Chef Thailand.
Mix was born on July 22, 1998, making him 22 this year. He is also quite tall, with a height of 180cm.

Not only is the drama Mix’s first one, it also marks his first casting in a main role. His co-star is Pirapat Watthanasetsiri, better known by his stage name, Earth.
A Tale of a Thousand Stars aired its first episode in late January, and has so far received positive reviews. Mix himself has been lauded by fans for his acting, with his expressive eyes especially noted. Fans have also requested that he be given more leading roles soon.
He seems to be in love with … pizza
Behind the camera, we can get a glimpse into Mix’s life through his Instagram. He has a couple of photos dedicated to pizza on his page, with one even referring to a pizza as his “other half”.
He also appears to love cats and posts about them a lot.
In December last year, he introduced a merchandise line called XIW, which seems to be a play on his nickname
