A member of a new girl group has garnered attention for being the only one in the lineup with brown hair. Her overall image and dance style are drawing comparisons to BoA's (보아) "ID; Peace B" era.
The member is reportedly 13 years old, the same age BoA was when she debuted. She also appears to be the group's main dancer.
Beyond the coincidences in hair color and age, the member's stage outfits have also been noted for their similarity to BoA's past attire. These various clues suggest an intentionally crafted image designed to evoke BoA.
Here are translations of comments from Korean netizens:
1. That dance clip really reminds me of BoA when she first debuted.
2. But she really looks like BoA… my heart is racing.
3. But she really performs so well.
4. What kind of legend is BoA, anyway?

7. You're right, the hairstyle and outfit also seem intentionally similar.
8. Seriously, I immediately thought of 'ID; Peace B.' She dances so well.
9. Definitely 100% intentional, but it seems worth it. They look so similar.

24. No, even the clothes remind me of 'ID; Peace B.'

46. In a good way, it's not the typical girl group style of today. Ah, it's really good.
47. From a distance, she really looks like BoA from that era.
48. She really has the early BoA vibe, probably around the 'ID; Peace B' and 'Amazing Kiss' period.
