Meanwhile, because BTS is just so darn famous in the whole world now, people are taking them as icons. From the way they dress to the way they speak, fans try to imitate every BTS member.
As for Kai Watson who is a YouTuber, he felt that emulating BTS members as a whole, including their fame, would be more interesting.
Kai invited his friend, Dave, to impersonate one of the members by dressing him up in stylish clothes, big sunglasses and a face mask, and even adding security guards and paparazzi around him. All for the sake of a prank.
They wandered around the streets of Seattle to attract people’s attention.
