In a TikTok video, a K-Pop fan asked fellow netizens for help identifying a handsome Korean soccer player. The video gained over 47,000 likes and 241,300 views in less than a day.
Comments on the TikTok video immediately began drawing comparisons to K-Pop idols, such as ASTRO‘s Cha Eunwoo, SEVENTEEN‘s DK, and THE BOYZ‘s Hyunjae. In other words, the man was fine.
One netizen successfully identified the handsome “player” as Kim Yosh, who had a TikTok account of his own where he displayed his many athletic talents.
Although he was correctly identified, there was one problem… Kim Yosh, who had over 38,000 followers on TikTok (@kimyosh8) at the time, is actually an “AI boyfriend” based in Los Angeles, USA and South Korea.
Netizens hilariously cursed how eerily realistic AI has become, though many caught on when looking at the warped logos on his jersey.
This wasn’t the only time an AI model had K-Pop fans doing a double-take. Check out the AI Korean influencer that gained attention for looking like Stray Kids‘ Hyunjin.
