This is going viral because it combines a hilarious new meme, 'Korean Mbappe,' with the unexpected, yet totally on-brand, reaction from celebrity Kim Poong, who's known for his quirky charm. His self-aware humor about his appeal to the gay community, especially with the Hong Seok-cheon anecdote, is just chef's kiss.
Kim Poong is a beloved webtoon artist and TV chef known for his unique personality. Hong Seok-cheon is one of Korea's first openly gay celebrities, often playfully teasing straight male friends about 'joining his side,' which is a common running gag in Korean entertainment.
Y'all, I'm screaming at this video of Kim Poong reacting to the 'Korean Mbappe' meme that's been blowing up! π The way he's just watching it, lowkey flustered but also kinda into it? No cap, this is sending me. Apparently, our man Kim Poong was on Twitter back in his 30s and already knew 'that side' had a thing for him. Now he's almost 50 and he's like, 'Wait, y'all still want me?' LMAOOO. He said he was kinda shook when he first saw the meme but then couldn't stop laughing himself. And get this, during the first season of *Please Take Care of My Refrigerator*, Hong Seok-cheon hyung apparently told him, 'If you ever get tired of the straight life, just come over to our side!' π And now here's Big Love-ssi, heart literally pounding, watching this 'Korean Mbappe' live. The man understood the assignment, fr fr.
