We never catch our girl lacking, either \u2014 whether it\u2019s the sultry bodycon dress from Resident Evil 2 or the turtleneck from Resident Evil 4, she knows how to work an outfit.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">She\u2019s nothing if not consistent, though, always boasting a short bob with side bangs and wearing some shade of deep red. That\u2019s why, when Asa \u2014 the main rapper of K-pop group BABYMONSTER \u2014 posted photos with a similar look, fans instantly started comparing the two.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/this-k-pop-star-looks-just-like-ada-wong-and-her-fanbase-cant-unsee-the-resemblance.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">She uploaded the selfies to the official BABYMONSTER community on Weverse, a social media hub for K-pop fans created by HYBE, the parent company of BTS&#8217; record label. It didn\u2019t take long for fans of both the band and the Resident Evil games to spot the similarities between them, sparking a wave of comments like, \u201cAsa Wong,\u201d in a clever portmanteau of their names.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cAsa, you are so much like Ada Wong, it\u2019s insane.

Back in March, photos of the rapper surfaced showing her with a short bob and a black choker necklace, prompting fans to create endless side-by-side graphics with screenshots of Ada wearing her dress in Resident Evil 2 Remake.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Thus far, Asa has not publicly remarked on her resemblance to the beloved Resident Evil character, though that hasn\u2019t stopped fans from begging her to do a cosplay or even portray Ada Wong in a live-action film.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Unfortunately for Ada stans, it doesn\u2019t look like she\u2019ll be making an appearance in the upcoming Resident Evil movie directed by Zach Cregger, which comes to theaters this September. Cregger has made it abundantly clear that his film tells a different story rather than creating a 1:1 adaptation of the games; there will be no major cameos from beloved characters (at least, not that we know of), with the movie instead following an average joe as he navigates the chaos that befalls Raccoon City in a more modern setting. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Cregger told us as much in an interview at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. &#8220;I am not trying to adapt a video game. I&#8217;m not using the characters from the games. I&#8217;m not telling a story that the games tell because I&#8217;m not going to be able to do it better than the games. The games are so well executed, and to me, Leon and Claire and these characters, they exist so perfectly in the games that anyone I cast and any difference that I do with them would be, probably, to the detriment of what I was trying to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Image Credits: ASA, BABYMONSTER &#8211; WEVERSE \/ CAPCOM<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Virginia (she\/her) is IGN\u2019s News Editor.
