“Turning Red” is the latest animated film of Pixar and Disney. It has attracted many Kpop fans thanks to the appearance of 4*Town, a boy group inspired by real Kpop idols. But are the Kpop idols in Turning Red BTS, Big Bang or 2PM? This question has caused a lot of controversy among the fans.
A Character Looks Like Jimin (BTS)
In “Turning Red”, the main character Mei Lee and her friends are fans of a popular boy band. 4*Town consists of 5 members. Each of them has their own distinctive features of appearance and personality.
In particular, the youngest member is named Tae Young. Many fans believe that the role model of this character is Jimin (BTS). They give a series of small details that are similar between Tae Young and Jimin (BTS). For example, both have irregular front teeth, similar lip shape, movement and style.
Moreover, when putting Tae Young and Jimin’s photos side by side for comparison, the similarity is very high. From his hair to his face, this fictional character really looks like a member of BTS.
Therefore, the above information quickly received great attention from the media. Fans of BTS especially hope the above information will be true. They would love to see an adorable version of Jimin in “Turning Red”.
Who Are Kpop Idols in Turning Red?
Recently, in an interview with Billboard Japan, director Domee Shi shared her inspiration. She made some of the characters in “Turning Red” based on real models. And those are the famous Kpop boy groups in real life.
The five members of 4*TOWN are modeled after Big Bang and 2PM. The female director said that these are two groups that she has loved since her student days. This revelation is making VIPs and Hottests (the fandom names of Big Bang and 2PM) very excited about this animated film.
However, this is not the first time that K-pop idols have been chosen as models for cartoon characters. In 2020, girl group Red Velvet also appeared in “Trolls: World Tour” from DreamWorks. So, I’m sure images of BTS members will appear in upcoming movies soon.
