This Korean Figure Skater Is Extremely Online
Photo: Bernat Armangue/ [object Object] South Korean figure skater Alex Kang-chan Kam is competing at the 2018 Olympics in the pair skating event. He’s also on a quest to become a meme.
Kam caught people’s attention during last night’s broadcast of the figure skating team event, when cameras captured him removing a pair of Olympic novelty sunglasses only to reveal a second pair of sunglasses:
Now, something like this doesn’t just happen spontaneously or by accident. It takes the dedication and understanding of someone who is truly Logged On to create a viral moment like this, and the 22-year-old seems to be as online as anyone his age can be. For example, the bio section of his Instagram account reads, “Korean Figure Skater 감강찬 (◕‿◕✿) 🇰🇷 • Time Magazine’s Person of the Year 2006 • 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to remember my name jeff.”
He’s also the guy who engaged in some “ironic dabbing” during the opening ceremony:
He also threw up the “Vape Naysh” sign during last night’s event, which is a reference to a series of extremely popular and extremely dumb YouTube videos:
