NCT's John's older sister Kim Mina attracted attention with her identical face. In a recent broadcast of the MBC variety show "King of Mask Singer" in Korea, a duet stage of 8 masked singers who went out to prevent the 9 consecutive victories of "Emotions are also rock" was unfolded. In the second round of the day, "Sand Play" and "Hourglass" clashed. Despite the expectation that "Sand Play" was IVE's Liz, the identity of "Hourglass," who unfortunately lost, was revealed to be John's sister Kim Mina, who had been active as an actress on KBS Joy's "Love Meddler." NCT members also praised Kim Mina as "the female version of John" and "a beautiful John" for her striking resemblance. Kim Mina revealed that a family meeting was held for her appearance on "King of Mask Singer," saying, "In fact, my brother and I were hesitant to mention each other. We were trying not to mention each other much, but he said, 'If you want to do it, go ahead,' so I decided to appear." Kim Mina, who is three years older than John, answered about their relationship as siblings, "We fight like any other siblings, and we care for each other when we need to." When asked if she received any advice, she said, "I was just told, 'Do your best,'" bringing laughter with a glimpse of their real sibling relationship. Kim Mina answered a question about being recognized in public, saying, "It seems that people in their teens, twenties, and thirties are watching 'Love Meddler' a lot. When I went to the butcher shop, a part-timer asked me to sign, but I didn't have a pen at that time, so I just wrote 'Kim Mina' for them," and added, "I have made a signature now." Kim Mina, whose voice trembled from the first bar when singing, confessed, "I actually had severe stage fright. My hands are still shaking. It was a really new experience for me, and I think it was a little opportunity to overcome my stage fright." She then said, "I am truly grateful for my family's support. I will continue to work hard, so please look forward to it." ・NCT John's older sister Kim Mina is an actress...Agency announces ・NCT John participates in the OST of the variety show "Hooba and Grandpa"...to be released today
