I Gained a Following as a Fake Kpop Idol by using Face Filters, I’ve never realized how easy it is to catfish people using these k-beauty apps, instead of doing transformation videos i’ll just pop one of these filters on my face and call it a day lol, I hope you guys support Ian so he can follow his dreams of meeting JYP in an elevator and asking when his debut date is, let’s get him to 4000 instagram followers! he’ll release a song in korean/english and appear on musicbank once he hits this goal hehe #edvasian #edvasiankpop
