Finally, the day has come! After countless days of pleading, the “youth idol” Faker has officially registered an Instagram account, complete with a verified badge. Dismissing the doubts of “posting just one photo a year” like on Facebook, the Demon King has decided to go with “one post a day” like a true celebrity.
As of now, Faker’s Instagram has nearly 40,000 followers. He is currently only following 6 accounts, which are not the official T1 page but rather partner brands, proving he is indeed a serious young man.
Having fun without forgetting his duties, in his third post, the Demon King subtly “shouted out” to the brand he represents: Nike, along with a bright smile in the photo. Just hours later, the post received a flood of likes from fans.
However, returning to the title, a female account named Lin noticed that this was not Faker’s usual tone and left a casual comment under the post. Whether it was a fluke or not, Faker immediately responded to this comment with: “I just copied it over.”
From that moment, Faker stirred up the post as Lin herself found it hard to believe and exclaimed, “Is it my birthday today?” to express her luck. Moreover, Faker’s female fans continuously commented with envy towards Lin for receiving a direct reply from Faker in his very first posts.
Some notable comments:
– So jealous…
– Too cute… Even though I know this is a “copy-paste”, the way of confessing is just too adorable.
– I’m so envious of the original poster, Sanghyeok, I want it too T^T.
– After reading the caption, I couldn’t help but laugh at the photo. Just the third post, and he’s already urging fans to buy the shirt to get through the pandemic. We haven’t forgotten, bro.
– Oh, I got a reply right away, not sure if it’s really Faker, but I’m feeling a bit envious of the original poster.
– Faker’s advertising effectiveness is no joke!
– This is definitely a copy-paste style, with clear hashtags and even English, while everyone knows the chairman’s English level, but still feeling envious =)).
Even though many believe this account might be set up for commercial purposes and image promotion, or even managed by someone else posting for him. Nevertheless, this is a pleasant thing for the fan community from a certain perspective. They feel that this is still a period of stagnation, a low note in Faker’s competitive career, so just being updated with his daily images is enough to reassure them. Some opinions also express that after all, this time will be a true period of relaxation for the Demon King specifically and the T1 team in general.
