I'm not good looking like him but I see some (some, not his brother) resemblance in how he and I look. He is from Cherkessia, or at least his dad's side, scored well in Eurovision:

Yeah, I can see a similarity between you and him.

I'm struggling with classifying this guy.. so I'll passify.

An Eastern European + Med aesthetic, finished with an Asian touch.

Maybe later Dna8 will do a real passification..

I would never guess he is Russian.

Is Билан a Russian surname? Sounds it's not, but I am not an expert

It seems that he was born in Karachay-Cherkessia so he is probably half Adyge instead of Tatar.

Him and I have almost identical noses and lips.I also know two guys from Repm of Moldova who jave a very similar look to him. It seems to be a Black Sea look.

This guy has a gayish attitude. I bet so many Russians and North Caucasians hate this singer.

He gives me a little bit of a Vasiliy Lomachenko vibe too. What do you think?

Yes but Vasiliy looks like a middle ground between Dima here and North Russians.

Plenty of Russians singers with softish vibes, they're not all compressed cartidges of Eastern European testosterone. He also looks fine in other pics. Edit: not in the first one I posted tho that's hella gay

Caucasian (as in no mongoloid). Pontid-Armenid or Pontid-Mtebid.

Not European in look. If in Romania, I would suspect some Roma admixture...

Upon too casual an engagement with the subject aesthetic, a NZer or Aussie might be forgiven for perceiving a Euro/Poly mix male (regarding the latter two photos).

The same aesthetic sleight of hand is possible via the Balkan route.

I wouldn't guess Roma tbh, look at celebrities such as Connect-R or Alex Velea for visible Roma ancestry. Ineed on the fringes of Europe but his look is more gracile and seems to fit on a very narrow portions in the Caucus parts near the coast.

I will piggyback off these other classifications and agree now with Pontid/Mtebid mix. I still think, when I googled him and looked at the plethora of images, there is something vaguely mongoloid in his facial structure. Perhaps that sort of bone structure is inherent in Mtebid, and I am mis-reading it as Asian influence.

Very low fat % in the face area with high cheekbones, like me. The whole reason why I looked him up was because I saw him from a profile view when I randomly got a Voice of Ukraine (kids) video recommended, he is a judge there, he just looked interesting if he were Ukrainian.

His real name Victor Belan. Belan it's Russian surname. He doesn't look Russian but I read his interview where he said that he is Russian.

Looks like a light Johnny Depp. Don't really find him attractive though.

Почему Билан вместо Белан? Вот как это выглядит в Википедии с обоими именами. просто звучать более по русски? (я учу русский)
