Imane has already had odd encounters with Koreans such as being streamsniped by a fan. This time, however, it was her and Jake’s turn to embarrass people (and each other) as they questioned a retail worker about famous American streamers.
Korean man cannot recognise Pokimane and has no idea who JakenBake is
In a recent stream, both Jake and Poki visited a Nike store in Korea to get a new pair for her. The retail worker helping them notices the camera and streaming gear on them and asks about Twitch. Smelling banter, Jake asks him about his favourite streamer and then jokes about knowing him:
Jake further asked whether he knew any American streamers:
The man answers PewDiePie:
As Poki tries on her shoe, Jake starts asking the man about her:
Because everyone is wearing masks, the man has no idea he is actually standing in front of her. Yes, he knows her, the man answers:
As the man keeps talking, Imane can be seen laughing behind her mask. The man then greets the chat and has a wholesome reaction when so many people say it back to him. Jake even gave him the opportunity to greet Faker, urging the chat to clip it and send it to the streamer:
Later in the stream, Poki tries to embarrass Jake by asking the man directly about him. But it hilariously backfires when the man says he has no idea about IRL streamers:
He responded:
As the chat goes wild, Jake interjects.
To which he received an affirmative response:
Jake then cranks up the banter between him and Poki as he turns to tell the chat how impossible it is to compete with her:
Chat rolling with laughter as Korean man cannot recognise Poki
The chat went wild after the man said he had heard of her but couldn’t recognize her in front of him.
They couldn’t keep it together when he had no idea who Jake was either.
The hilarious interaction ended after they left the store. Here’s to hoping both of their IRL Korea streams are filled with such funny and wholesome interactions and not unpleasant ones.
