K-pop star Asa of BABYMONSTER fame is getting compared to Resident Evil’s Ada Wong after posting selfies sporting an outfit and hairstyle that makes her look strikingly similar to the iconic double-agent.

Ada Wong has a certain style; she’s a badass spy, after all, so she’s gotta look chic. We never catch our girl lacking, either — whether it’s the sultry bodycon dress from

, she knows how to work an outfit.

She’s nothing if not consistent, though, always boasting a short bob with side bangs and wearing some shade of deep red. That’s why, when Asa — the main rapper of K-pop group BABYMONSTER — posted photos with a similar look, fans instantly started comparing the two.

to the official BABYMONSTER community on Weverse, a social media hub for K-pop fans created by HYBE, the parent company of BTS' record label. It didn’t 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, “Asa Wong,” in a clever portmanteau of their names.

surfaced showing her with a short bob and a ****** choker necklace, prompting fans to create endless side-by-side graphics with screenshots of Ada wearing her dress in Resident Evil 2 Remake.

Thus far, Asa has not publicly remarked on her resemblance to the beloved Resident Evil character, though that hasn’t stopped fans from begging her to do a cosplay or even portray Ada Wong in a live-action film.

at San Diego Comic-**** 2026. "I am not trying to adapt a video game. I'm not using the characters from the games. I'm not telling a story that the games tell because I'm not going to be able to do it better than the games.
