Photographs of a Chinese flight attendant have gone viral because of his strong resemblance to actor Song Joong-ki, a Korean news outlet said Wednesday.

According to Dong-a Ilbo, several passengers mistook the attendant for the actor. They screamed in surprise or posted photos and statements online saying they had seen the star of “Descendants of the Sun” on the plane.

Nine years younger than Song, Feng Ming, a steward with China Southern Airlines, has a light complexion, and soft features, and is as tall as the actor ― 178 centimeters.

The media report said passengers stood in line to have their picture taken with Ming.

Photographs of Ming during his daily life are constantly uploaded on Weibo, a Chinese social networking service.
