Season 4 breakout star of TVing’s dating series “Transit Love,” Seong Baek-hyun, and popular comedian Jo Jin-se sat down for a special encounter that used their striking resemblance as its premise, delivering a mix of easygoing humor and simmering tension.
The YouTube channel U-Kim-Pyo, run by comedians Kim Won-hoon and Jo Jin-se, released a video titled “Finally, Baek-hyun Meets Baek-hyun” from Transit Love Season 4.
Borrowing the show’s iconic X-room setup, the video staged Seong Baek-hyun and Jo Jin-se facing one another in identical outfits.
Seong called attention to a parody clip Jo had made that highlighted his distinctive features and has since surpassed one million views. He asked pointedly whether the piece was meant to ridicule him rather than merely imitate him. Jo denied any mocking intent and worked to dispel Seong’s misunderstanding, while continuing to insist on their resemblance — a claim that left Seong visibly bemused.
At one point Jo said, “My mom says I look like Seong Baek-hyun.” Seong replied that his own mother disagreed. Jo then asked to video-call Seong’s mother, and Seong obliged. On the call, Seong’s mother deadpanned, “What is my son doing?” prompting laughter from everyone present.
Last October, after viewers pointed out the two men’s resemblance, the U-Kim-Pyo channel posted a parody that reconstructed key moments from Transit Love Season 4. The video drew significant attention and has since topped one million views.
Although Seong has previously reacted angrily when comparisons to Jo were made, he displayed a playful, self-aware streak during the meet-up. He even reenacted the tearful scene that had become a talking point on the show alongside Jo. The pair moved between an odd sense of kinship and a competitive dynamic, delivering fresh, entertaining moments for viewers.
