IShowSpeed convinced a group of South Korean women that he was actually YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI.
During a shopping outing, IShowSpeed ran into a group of South Korean women. While they were excited to meet him, he pulled an impromptu joke and made them believe that he was actually his business partner KSI.
“Are you Speed?” one woman asked. He then responded in a British accent, “No, my name’s KSI.” The woman then looked embarrassed as she covered her face and giggled.
“You guys ever been to London? You gotta come to London… it’s f*cking crazy, mate.” the streamer told the women. Though they looked surprised, they followed along with what the streamer was saying before he made his cordial exit.

The content creator and KSI are both friends and business partners, so he likely meant no harm by impersonating him. IShowSpeed has evengiven KSI’s phone number awayon multiple occasions, making for a humorous relationship between the two.
Despite the jokes, the content creators announced in April thatthey’d be partnering togetherwith Logan Paul to bring Prime Hydration even more content. “IShowPrime, I own this sh*t now!” the streamer exclaimed as Logan revealed to KSI that they’d be working jointly.

Though he’s gone viral for convincing the women in South Korea that he was KSI, this isn’t the first time content creators have pulled the joke. In March of this year, Twitch streamer CDawgVA was walking the streets of Japan.
During his time, hetricked a group of Japanese youthsinto thinking he was YouTuber MrBeast. The group even asked for some of his belongings, which he ended up giving away to keep the charade up.
Despite content creators impersonating each other on multiple occasions, nothing has been taken too seriously by those affected, and the jokes seem to be considered good fun, as authorities have not been contacted in light of the encounters mentioned.
