The fact that sometimes people look like people is not a new thing, but if an ordinary person looks like famous idols, it can be noticed. However, many people take advantage of this in an excessive and even ridiculous way.
Recently, the fact that someone who looks like Jimin pretended to be him to open a fansign made ARMYs feel uncomfortable. Many people have said that this is quite scary if this person continues to behave like this.
Celebrity impersonation is nothing new. There are many people who even make a living posing as icons like Elvis and Michael Jackson, while others just go viral due to their resemblance to celebrities like Ariana Grande.
K-Pop idols are no exception when there are ordinary people who look like them. One of them was Jimin when some guys online tried to imitate him. It might have been harmless at first but then they went too far and turned it into ridiculousness.
For example, recently, ARMYs discovered a Japanese tiktoker who tried to transform himself into Jimin and even held fanmeeting under Jimin's reputation. This person has a tiktok account called Pachijimin - a name that also tries to make it look like the real Jimin.
This person first rose to prominence because of his resemblance to Jimin thanks to filters and effects on tiktok. But after that, more and more he tried to imitate and make himself look like Jimin to become popular widely.
But many users on Reddit recently have been very upset by this person's new behavior. Pachijimin held his own “fan meeting” while posing as Jimin, which is quite unusual. He was quickly criticized for his ridiculous behavior but what scared many people was the fact that he had gone too far despite being a fake.
Another allegedly went so far as to recreate Jimin’s Instagram posts to the point where it was, according to the Redditor, “a littttle creepy”. They even shared a compilation of these “Jimin look-alikes”, which range from almost believable to… Strange.
Whether or not these impostors actually cause harm, these signs of trying to be a celebrity for attention are terrifying indeed. They should know to stop before doing anything that affects Jimin's reputation.
