Adin Ross, the American online streamer, disappointed his audience by featuring a fake representation of North Korea's dictator, Kim Jong Un. He brought in a professional impersonator known as Howard X as North Korean leader Kim Jung Un. The broadcast had garnered a substantial number of viewers just before Kim Jong Un's supposed appearance. According to Stream Charts data, it reached a viewership of 333,506 people watching live. Adin also introduced the fake Kim to Andrew Tate.
However, the online community expressed their disappointment with the show. They had been anticipating the real Kim to appear on the stream and were highly let down by the presence of a fake imposter. One disappointed user, Remy, posted on X, "Told a random fat Asian to dress up and called it a day."
While fans had been excitedly anticipating the broadcast, they were also apprehensive about Adin potentially asking the wrong questions to Kim, which could anger him. Several posts depicted various consequences Adin Ross might face if he were to ask any inappropriate questions to the dictator. Some users even speculated about the possibility of a nuclear war with North Korea.
Some of Adin's fans found themselves in a state of confusion, unsure whether to laugh or cry after witnessing the fake imposter Kim on the show. Meanwhile, some X users countered them, arguing that those who were disappointed had expected Adin to bring the real Kim onto the show.
Adin Ross is known for his collaborations with celebrities and livestreams of the NBA 2K and Grand Theft Auto V video games. He has featured controversial personalities in the past. Adin's manager clarified that most of these personalities are unwilling to participate in the stream due to the controversial nature of the collaborations.
It's worth noting that Kim Jong Un rarely participates in interviews. His last known interview was with Russian Media Rossiya-24 in 2019. However, it is important for content creators and their fans to exercise caution when dealing with sensitive issues, as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is known for his pragmatism, nuclear capabilities, and close relations with China and Russia.
