From K-Drama romance to reality: US woman travels to Korea to find love, gets real-life disappointment; video goes viral
In a viral video, an American woman travels to South Korea to find her K-drama-like boyfriend and expresses her disappointment after seeing the reality on the streets of Korea; see the video and reactions of netizens here.
The K-drama fever is real! In a bizarre incident, an American woman who travelled to Seoul hoping to meet her K-drama-style dream boyfriend was left disillusioned when her reality didn't meet her expectations.
The woman was expecting the streets of Korea to be filled with K-pop idol lookalikes; instead, she found everyday people going about their daily lives. This was something that she wasn't expecting.
The woman took to social media to share the experience, and the video has now gone viral.
Woman travels to Korea to meet her K-drama boyfriend
In the video, the woman is seen excited as she travels to South Korea to meet her K-drama-style boyfriend.
She says in the video that she is on the way to Seoul to fall in love with a Korean man, but suddenly her enthusiasm quickly fades away as she starts recording random men on the street. She looked seemingly unimpressed by their appearances.
Additionally, the iconic Titanic music played in the background of the video, which takes a mocking turn later as she zooms in on the unexpected appearances passing by her.
Following this, at one point, she declares that 'We have been catfished. This is very disturbing.'

While on the other hand, some viewers also found her reactions to be exaggerated, and some also slammed her for objectifying people and perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards.
Is she bodyshaming and objectifying these men ? All Men are beautiful.
