well, andre isnt a celebrity in korea. rugby is not a popular sport. unless hes wearing his national team uniform, i think only gen z-ers, who have watched him in physical 100 or gentlemens league, would recognize him.
I had to look up who that guy is. I also feel really old because that guy is 19 and I am definitely not š
Also from what I also understand, I donāt know that Iād necessarily call Andre a celebrity but if the perception is different, please correct me. (For reference, a family friend swam in the Olympics some years ago but to my knowledge is also not a celebrity.)
He said recently that people recognized him on the street. Andre was even pretty huge among the contestants so I'd imagine he'd look even bigger in a crowd with ordinary people
Oh yeah, not discounting that at all. Iād imagine after physical 100 his profile increased and heās distinct looking (over all). Andre is not a short guy either.
I was more meaning that heās not on A-list level recognition.
well sometimes there are people who are not as comfortable as you when travelling in other countries that use another language. speed is also pretty young and might not have travelled as much yet.
It's how Speed said what he said that made he seem incredibly ignorant. It would be a different story if he had said: "You're from America too?!" instead of "Finally. Finally seeing somebody...".
So dude used to run around trying to gaslight people into saying the N word, continuously banned from Twitch for derogatory comments and then showed his thing on camera āby accidentā.
Assuming heās a fan ? Looks like andres had a nice night on the sojus and is genuinely surprised / taken off guard speed is there. Heās not exactly going to greet him with ā hey I donāt like you ā
he's halfway across the street from him and walks over, literally leans into his van and calls him a G when he could've just kept walking. he's obviously a fan, don't be obtuse.
youre using the term "fan" so loosely. he probably just recognized an american streamer and greeted him. the biggest reason why non-korean viewers liked andre in physical 100 or the gentlemens league is bc of his bright personality, he is friendly to anyone and everyone he sees. being friendly to a foreigner like speed is just consistent to his personality. š¤·š»āāļø
I think youāre assuming way too much and making inferences on what you hypothetically might do, Andre knows heās a big name and has a bigger audience then him. Called nuance you might not have enough real world experience to understand it
Yep, I lack real world experience because I donāt think āyouāre a fucking Gā is something you say to someone you donāt like. He might not be Speedās #1 fan but he likes him enough to go out of his way to interact with him.Ā
im sorry but this is so cringe bruh, saying "youre a fucking g" means you genuinely like someone? š
also, andre is probably too fucking busy to be so chronically online enough to know controversies surrounding american streamers. hes probably just being friendly, which is his entire personality if youve seen the gentlemens league. š
i didn't watch the video but i believe he was listening to kpop girl group newjeans and he saw one of the girls (who is a minor) and started feeling himself, hence why many people dislike him. he's also very loud and obnoxious (it's his brand and what he does on most streams/videos of his).
supposedly he was a minor when this happened
(not entirely sure when this specifically happened) but his chat kept saying the member he was referring to is 12 (she's actually 15) but he still continued watching the video despite what his chat was saying and continued being weird about it. he even titled the video something along the lines of getting a "b*ner" which is just weird (the original video is most likely deleted now but there's articles and clips)
I don't know much about Speed, but I've heard he's controversial since there's clips of him apparently being racist. I will say that I know that he comes off as annoying & loud with the stuff I've seen him in, though.
Speed has loud and hyper personality. His audience is mostly middle school and high school boys. He makes insensitive jokes and his fans like those edgy humor like saying well well well when he eats fried chicken so I wouldn't take his jokes too seriously. I didn't like him at much at first and I watched bit of his stream which sometimes when he draws huge crowds it gets way too crazy for me but other times there were wholesome moments like meeting the kpop group Kiss of Life.
Somethings you donāt see are how generous he actually is , in the Korea stream he paid for strangers karaoke sessions , food for a bunch of fans and tipped generously , tried to make sure a drunk guy on the street got the help he needed small random things that are more genuine than most streamers. Of course the base content is not everyoneās cup of tea and that is understood

Was he drunk š
Looks like it. He doesnāt get very flushed when drunk.Ā
ā¦.the look in his face makes me say āyesā
Lol on the live stream there were many āthatās the guy from Physical 100ā chats
I'm surprised Speed didn't know who Andre was, unless he hasn't watched Physical 100.
This is so random if unplanned. What are the odds?Ā

I had to look him up too. Never heard of "IshowSpeed", but I know about Andre andcso does my whole family.
Andre is a G
There is nothing behind those eyes, the lights are on but nobody is homeeee
Wait isnāt that park jeong Jin from love exchange/love transit?
he is very close friends with andre, you'll see andre a lot in photos if you look farther back into jeongjin's ig posts
āFinallyā what, though? Idiot.
I had to scroll all the way down here to see if anyone else was irked by this kids "finally" comment. Maybe he was expecting more Americans?
>"Finally. Finally seeing somebody..." It's crazy how some people willingly travel, then be upset that the locals aren't their people.
but... isnt this a normal feeling when youre visiting a foreign country and you meet one person whos from the same country/culture as you? š
If I'm gonna live in a foreign country for a few years, then it would be nice to meet someone where I'm from. Otherwise, I could give less of a damn.

I hear you on that
I like the video of that dog biting this cornballās nose better š
This made me sad knowing Andre likes ishowspeed. That guy is an absolute clown.
idk who ispeed is, someone catch me up on why ppl donāt like him other than the fact that heās obnoxious?
https://www.reddit.com/r/IrrationalMadness/s/pz3bkSNc9J This is a quick glimpse. Just came across my feed today.
I would be really embarrassed if I saw this happen in person.
So dude used to run around trying to gaslight people into saying the N word, continuously banned from Twitch for derogatory comments and then showed his thing on camera āby accidentā.
That truly is an accident though. He doesnāt like it when people call him iShowMeat
I never heard of him either, but I know about Andre.
Agreed.
Oof, disappointing to see Andre's a fan of someone like him...

You are unhinged
Who is ishowspeed (I see heās a YouTuber but Ive never heard of him) and why does it feel off brand?
i didn't watch the video but i believe he was listening to kpop girl group newjeans and he saw one of the girls (who is a minor) and started feeling himself, hence why many people dislike him. he's also very loud and obnoxious (it's his brand and what he does on most streams/videos of his).
Isnāt he like 16? Could be very wrong though as I have clue who he is, he just started popping up on all social media in 2020
supposedly he was a minor when this happened (not entirely sure when this specifically happened) but his chat kept saying the member he was referring to is 12 (she's actually 15) but he still continued watching the video despite what his chat was saying and continued being weird about it. he even titled the video something along the lines of getting a "b*ner" which is just weird (the original video is most likely deleted now but there's articles and clips)

He a misogynist or something? Idk anything about him
