An elderly Chinese aunt has captured hearts online by parodying iconic scenes from classic Korean dramas with hilarious and exaggerated acting.
The woman’s performances have sparked an outpouring of affection and pleas for her to continue bringing joy.
In recent years, South Korean TV dramas have seen a massive surge in popularity in the West, notably with Squid Game, which was released in September 2021 and watched by one in four people in the United States.
However, recently, a Chinese aunt has brought her unique style to performances, adding a delightful flavor to the Korean drama craze.
The 66-year-old, Zhen Yingzi, from Qingdao, Shandong province in northern China, is known online as “Silly Aunt Yingzi”, where she boasts 811,000 followers.
Her profile modestly states: “I have no education or background. We are a family of twelve sisters, relying solely on ourselves.”
