[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Kim Min-seo (19), who gained attention as a look-alike of Park Bo-gum on 'Ask Me Anything', has announced a strong response to malicious comments.

On the 26th, Kim posted on his Instagram, "Please don't be sarcastic," adding, "I was in bad condition the day before, my face was swollen, and it was a mess."

He also added, "I will sue all malicious commenters."

Kim had previously attracted attention on social networking services (SNS) for his resemblance to Park Bo-gum.

Later, on the 25th, Kim appeared on the KBS Joy entertainment program 'Ask Me Anything' and expressed his difficulties being known as a Park Bo-gum look-alike.

During the broadcast, Kim said, "Whenever Park Bo-gum becomes a hot topic, people come to my SNS saying 'this person looks like him,'" and explained, "But to be honest, I don't look that much like him. I just take good pictures."

He continued, "I like getting attention. I don't think I'm ugly, but when compared to him, I feel ugly. About a year ago, while walking down the street, a stranger hit me on the back of my head and left," sharing his hardships.

Seeing Kim's photo, Lee Soo-geun said, "You made it exactly the same. If you take a picture like this, it's just Park Bo-gum."
