Lee Chan-hyuk and Su-hyun debuted together as AKMU while Jessica and Krystal Jung were both scouted by SM Entertainment – who are the star siblings of the K-pop and K-drama world and what are their relationships really like?

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, the saying states – and when it comes to Korean idols, that goes for singing and dancing skills as well as good looks. But even though they’re celebrities, the sibling dynamics of famous brothers and sisters are just like ours – they bicker and tease, but also support each other.

Read on to find out more about these sibling stars in the world of K-pop and K-drama.

NCT’s Doyoung and Gong Myung

The brotherly bond between NCT’s Doyoung and actor Gong Myung – born Kim Dong-young and Dong-hyun – is often spotted on-screen. Most recently, Gong announced NCT as the winner of the Worldwide Fan’s Choice award at 2020’s MAMA.

But do they ever fight? Not really, Gong shared on a SBS radio show in 2019. And when they do, it’s usually for small reasons, like Gong annoying Doyoung with frivolous tasks like asking his brother to fetch him a cup of water.

When it comes to talent, the brothers are both skilled singers. Gong used to be part of 5urprise, a five-piece group comprised of actors that debuted in 2014 with the single From My Heart. Meanwhile, Doyoung and NCT just released new album “NCT Resonance: Pt. 1” this year.

Jessica and Krystal Jung

 
Perhaps the most well-known sibling duo among K-pop fans, former Girls’ Generation member Jessica and F(x)’s Krystal – born Jung Soo-yeon and Jung Soo-jung – were both scouted by SM Entertainment while on a family holiday in 2000. Jessica joined the agency that same year while Krystal followed later.
