2NE1, 2PM, BEAST, SHINee, TVXQ and Big Bang's facial expressions compared with cartoon characters

A hilarious compilation of idols vs. cartoon characters has surfaced on the internet and created a lot of buzz. 2NE1’s Minzy is being compared to a cute doll, while Wooyoung’s chubby cheeks are compared to that of a monkey. Going further down the list, the trademark smiles of Big Bang's Daesung, BEAST’s Yoseob, SNSD’s Jessica, 2PM’s Junsu and Chansung are being compared with various cartoon characters' expressions. SHINee’s Onew and Minho’s hairstyles look slightly similar to that of a particular Pokemon. Rounding out the list, TVXQ’s Changmin is compared to Spongebob Squarepants's Squidward and Big Bang’s Taeyang resembles Mashi Maro. However, it’s up to fans’ judgment to decide who fits which character. Netizens who saw this post left comments such as, "Woo Young really looks like a monkey," "I burst out laughing when I saw the Jessica-Cappy comparison," and "They all resemble the characters 100%!"

TVXQ

Even with all of the controversy still latent in the background of TVXQ due to the controversy with JYJ, Changmin and Yunho of TVXQ are still managing to go out and complete activities. TVXQ plans on appearing at the concert on Jeju Island. They have also managed to achieve success with their latest song "Know This (Before You Go)", which was seen when they won on Inkigayo on March 27th.

Since their activities have managed to achieve success after several years of being away from the Korean entertainment scene, Yunho and Changmin have made many appearances. Changmin has made appearances in the drama "Paradise Ranch" and Yunho has completed many interviews and appeared on shows like "Happy Together". In their most recent appearance, Yunho and Changmin came out for the press conference for the talk show of cable channel tvN, "TAXI". They were photographed together with the hosts, actor Kong Hyungjin and the comedian Lee Youngja on April 5, 2011.

With all of their appearances lately, Yunho and Changmin are steadily acclimating themselves back into the music scene which they had been apart from for so long.
