The chain reaction set off by YouTuber Anthony Po’s super-viral Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest in Manhattan on October 27, led fans to the K-pop chapter of this journey a month later.
On Sunday, November 24, the new US trend surrounding celebrity lookalike contests saw BTS’ Jungkook enthusiasts turning up for registration in droves. As the Hindustan Times (and several other outlets) previously reported.
the event held at Ping Tom Memorial Park in Chicago, Illinois, handed out a $20 cash prize and a bottle of Soju to the winner. As it turned out, some older fans of the K-pop septet already knew the much-debated winner of the anticipated turnout.
A flurry of fan-shared videos and photos popped up online on Sunday (US time), capturing the three finalists in action as the trio, like other Jungkook impersonators showed up dressed in variations of black outfits. Ultimately, Andrew Alexander, a widely renowned YouTube sensation, was crowned the winner. Even if the name doesn’t ring a bell, some BTS fans will remember the content creator from a years-old YouTube video, in which his sister “turned” him into the beloved K-pop group’s maknae.
Who is Andrew Alexander, the winner of Chicago’s Jungkook lookalike competition?
According to the social media personality’s YouTube videos, Andrew is a third-year university student living in California. He clearly flew into Chicago, especially for the Jungkook contest scheduled this week.
Over four years ago, Alexander’s sister, Ashley, posted a video titled “I turned my brother into BTS Jungkook,” as she highlighted how “a lot of people say he looks like” the K-pop star. Given their “striking similarities,” as reflected not only their resemblance (though not validated by a lot of fans) but also their mannerisms, Andrew’s other sister (presumably), Amber, said at the time, “It’s so funny every video we post, there’s at least 20 new people that are like ‘I don’t know if anyone’s ever said this but, Andrew looks like Jungkook’”.
However, Andrew himself did not admit to the similarities. That didn’t stop BTS fan pages from drawing comparisons between him and the BTS singer.
In a video posted before the viral winning announcement, Andrew’s sister documented the scene at the competition venue. Ashley wrote confirmed in the caption, “He flew from LA we flew from NY.” Ironically, the ultimate Jungkook lookalike contest participant was also registered as #7, a number that holds great emotional significance in the BTS fandom, given the group’s member count.
Fans react to the winner being crowned for the lookalike contest“If Andrew didn’t win, I would have hosted another one to make sure he won,” someone else wrote in the comments. Others quipped along the lines and “Kinda crazy how they let Jungkook win his own lookalike competition.”
Those familiar with Andrew’s journey, definitely agreed with how the contest “cooked” with its final decision, especially since “the lore runs deep.” Who could’ve known that this was years in the making at a time when lookalike contests weren’t a norm? Fans react to the winner being crowned for the lookalike contes.

Karwa Chauth: What to put in and what to leave out of your sargi thali for a nutritious fast

Karwa Chauth 2022: The day-long event that honours a husband and wife’s union is just one day away. On the fourth day of the Hindu lunar month of Kartik, the festival—also known as Karak Chaturthi in Sanskrit texts—is observed. Married women observe a day-long “nirjala” fast (without food or water) on Karwa Chauth.
which generally coincides with the festivals of Dussehra and Diwali, and pray nonstop for the long lives of their spouses from dawn to moonrise. When the moon rises, women break their fast by offering the moon a “ark” from their karwas (earthen pots), seeing their husbands’ faces through sieves, and then drinking and eating.
A pre-dawn meal called sargi is lovingly made by the mother-in-law for her bahu and presented in a thali before the fasting period begins. Sargi consists of seven, none, or eleven different sorts of bite-sized food items, including sweets, savouries, vegetable curries, fruits, rice, and roti. The purpose of the practise is to ensure that those who are fasting consume enough nourishing and hydrated items to support a healthy Karwa Chauth fast.
The food provided in the sargi thali will make it easier for the woman to fast without triggering any health issues like headaches or acidity. Fasting without food and drink can be difficult. Making the thali requires a mother-in-best law’s efforts because it involves more than simply sargi; it also involves emotion.
Here are some suggestions for including nutritious foods in your sargi ki thali and avoiding foods that might deplete your vitality. Probiotic drink: If fasting is not regularly practised, a day’s fast may result in digestive problems such bloating and hyperacidity. It is important to add a probiotic in the diet to prevent this.
Incorporating a glass of buttermilk into the sargi thali is the simplest method to accomplish this. Add black salt, cumin powder, and asafoetida to the buttermilk to reduce bloating. This guarantees a gut that is balanced and free of gas or acidity.
- Maintain balance in your sargi thali: Think of the sargi thali as a healthy, balanced dish that is generally consumed on an ordinary day. Including a salad portion, one or two katori of sabji—this might be two different sabjis to give variety—a bowl of dal or lentil for protein and rotis and rice for the carbs—as well as a glass of buttermilk—are all required. Never forget to add ghee to the rice or lentils.
- Include hydrating items in your thali: Maintaining a healthy level of hydration throughout the day is essential for a successful fast. Dehydration during the day is inevitable if there are insufficient fluids in the thali. Dehydration can be brought on by foods that are overly sweet or oily. So attempt to substitute items high in water content for fruits with high fibre content. Include coconut water, muskmelon, or watermelon, for instance.
- Steer clear of sugary desserts: Kheer, a milk-based dessert, is frequently offered in sargi thalis. Make sure that it is prepared with other natural sugars, such as khandsari, jaggery, or honey, in moderation, rather than table sugar. Foods with a lot of sugar make people thirstier. These high-sugar foods are not recommended because there is no water consumption during the day.
- Steer clear of adding fried foods: Just like sugar, fatty meals tend to make you feel older than you are. The sargi thali generally includes fried items like puris, papadams, etc. Try substituting ghee.
