On April 27th, K-Will guested on MBC’s “Radio Star” and shared a past photo of himself that led the MCs to nickname him as ‘K-vatar‘.

It all began when Wheesung, K-Will’s long-time best friend, nonchalantly stated, “I feel like K-Will has become so much more handsome these days.”

As if on cue, MC Kim Gura suddenly pulled out a photo of a three-step transformation process that took viewers through a timeline of K-Will’s past and present images. The middle picture in particular caught everyone’s eye, since it looked just like the protagonist from the film, “Avatar“. The producers of the show even overlayed an ‘Avatar’ image over K-Will’s picture, causing everyone to crack up with laughter.

K-Will explained, “It was when I was having the hardest time after the release of my first album!” The MCs continued teasing, “Isn’t he from ‘Avatar’? We don’t even need CG effects for this,” and “Did you use this picture to get cast for the role?”

Netizens commented, “He really does look like an Avatar!’, “I love K-Will~”, and “K-vatar is hilarious!”
