Okay-pop star Asa of BABYMONSTER fame is getting in comparison with Resident Evil’s Ada Wong after posting selfies sporting an outfit and coiffure that makes her look strikingly just like the enduring double-agent.
Ada Wong has a sure fashion; she’s a badass spy, in spite of everything, so she’s gotta look stylish. We by no means catch our woman missing, both — whether or not it’s the sultry bodycon gown from Resident Evil 2 or the turtleneck from Resident Evil 4, she is aware of the best way to work an outfit.
She’s nothing if not constant, although, all the time boasting a brief bob with aspect bangs and carrying some shade of deep pink. That’s why, when Asa — the primary rapper of Okay-pop group BABYMONSTER — posted pictures with an identical look, followers immediately began evaluating the 2.
She uploaded the selfies to the official BABYMONSTER group on Weverse, a social media hub for Okay-pop followers created by HYBE, the guardian firm of BTS’ document label. It didn’t take lengthy for followers of each the band and the Resident Evil video games to identify the similarities between them, sparking a wave of feedback like, “Asa Wong,” in a intelligent portmanteau of their names.
“Asa, you’re a lot like Ada Wong, it’s insane. In case you have a PS4 or PS5, go play Resident Evil 4 Remake!” one fan remarked.
“Are you Ada Wong?” one other commented.
These are just some of the oodles of feedback Asa has acquired since posting the vampy pics, and so they aren’t the primary ones to spark comparisons to Ada. Again in March, photos of the rapper surfaced exhibiting her with a brief bob and a black choker necklace, prompting followers to create infinite side-by-side graphics with screenshots of Ada carrying her gown in Resident Evil 2 Remake.
To date, Asa has not publicly remarked on her resemblance to the beloved Resident Evil character, although that hasn’t stopped followers from begging her to do a cosplay and even painting Ada Wong in a live-action movie.
Sadly for Ada stans, it doesn’t appear like she’ll be making an look within the upcoming Resident Evil film directed by Zach Cregger, which involves theaters this September. Cregger has made it abundantly clear that his movie tells a distinct story slightly than making a 1:1 adaptation of the video games; there will likely be no main cameos from beloved characters (at the very least, not that we all know of), with the film as an alternative following a median joe as he navigates the chaos that befalls Raccoon Metropolis in a extra fashionable setting.
Cregger advised us as a lot in an interview at San Diego Comedian-Con 2026. “I’m not making an attempt to adapt a online game. I am not utilizing the characters from the video games. I am not telling a narrative that the video games inform as a result of I am not going to have the ability to do it higher than the video games. The video games are so properly executed, and to me, Leon and Claire and these characters, they exist so completely within the video games that anybody I solid and any distinction that I do with them could be, in all probability, to the detriment of what I used to be making an attempt to do.”
