This tall and striking South Korean hooper is taking the internet by storm with his K-drama actor visuals.
He looks like he walked straight out of a drama set where he plays the star basketball player. And honestly, it’s not hard to see why, as everyone agrees. Some even said he looks like actor Jung Hae-in.
Who is this young basketball player that’s got the internet doing double takes with over 47,000 reactions? Meet Yeo Junseok, a 6-foot-8 forward.
Yeo’s fame isn’t just about looks. The 22-year-old Seoul native is a rising force in international basketball. Currently playing for Korea Bank, Yeo recently made headlines for transferring to Seattle University after suiting up for the powerhouse Gonzaga Bulldogs.
The official Seattle Redhawks Instagram post welcoming him drew attention: “Welcome to the Redhawk family @ye0_22!” the caption read, accompanied by a photo of Yeo in his new red uniform, arms crossed, gaze intense, sitting like a K-drama protagonist gearing up for his big moment.

Beyond the social media buzz, Yeo’s performance backs the hype.

He also represented South Korea’s senior team in Olympic qualifiers and the Asia Cup.
Now, as he transitions to the US college scene with Seattle University, Yeo Junseok isn’t just bringing the heat as he’s redefining what it means to be both a star athlete and a global heartthrob.
