[0:00]Hey guys, what's up and welcome back to my channel. So many of you guys have been asking me for my skincare routine. So I thought I'd share a little secret. I've always struggled with acne growing up. Honestly, I have used every single type of treatment, you name it, from creams to medication to laser. But the things that work for your skin, you know, if you know you know, it always goes back to the basics. But the one thing that I use every single night is castor oil. It's amazing. I rub a thick layer on my face before I go to bed. I wake up and it's so moisturized. It also naturally thickens your eyebrows and eyelashes. Castor oil does wonders for hair and also skin. I don't have any split ends. That's my skincare secret, or just beauty secret in general. Keep it simple, don't overdo it, don't overcomplicate it. Look after yourself. Kika Kim, this name has been mentioned so many times and of course, the highest bidder wins. You guys have been mentioning this girl's name like crazy. She's cute. I've never thought that there was an issue with her, but then again, I never really got into her, right? But the funny thing is, a lot of you guys want me to talk about her, and I looked online. Nobody talks about this girl. I found nothing on Reddit. I haven't seen anything negative about her on anything online, except the comments that you guys send me. So I did further deeper research on this girl, and apparently, she is a huge copycat. Apparently, she copies a lot of content creators' dances and ideas, and she doesn't give credit. Hmm. Why has nobody talked about this yet? Why has nobody raised any concerns yet? I know why. They're waiting for me. Woo. Now, before we expose our dancing queen, and take a deeper dive in these awkward controversies, let's get to know her a little bit. Now, I'm sure she doesn't need an introduction, as many of you know who she is, but let's familiarize ourselves with her. According to the Internet, Kika Kim is a Korean-American content creator, influencer, and entrepreneur. She first gained significant attention through her work on social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, where she showcases a mix of lifestyle content, beauty routines, fashion, travel, and personal experiences. Her content often revolves around beauty tutorials, skincare routine, fashion try-ons, and personal insights into her life. Kika Kim has more than 16 million followers on YouTube, more than 8.7 millions of followers on Instagram, and a whopping 36.9 million followers on TikTok. Wow. This girl is freaking huge. So that's why it confused me a lot when I started to learn that she's been copying content from other creators. Because in my mind, I thought there's no way. Maybe other people copied her, but no. After a lot of digging and researching, she really does copy content from others. Which raises a huge question mark. Why? What is she driven by? She's already got so much influence. Is it because she just can? Is it because it's inspiration? Or is it just because she just doesn't seem to care? Let's look into it. Now, after looking through a lot of TikToks and also reels on the Internet, I found that the one creator that she often copies a lot is Themermaidscales, aka Krutika. She has actually an amazing reputation online. She's got over 8 million followers on Instagram, over 5.4 million followers on YouTube. A lot of fans have written amazing comments about her, which is amazing to see. She seems to me like she's very switched on, very bright, and very entertaining, and loved by her fans. Apparently, according to Reddit, Krutika is of Indian origin, born and raised in Italy, and now living in South Korea. She seems unproblematic, and her vlogs are fairly entertaining. Some fans say that they love that she is just her character, and her personal life and info is still personal. Fans have also said she's broken the Insta algorithm, or her reels have a million views at least. I don't know any other Insta influencers with such consistency. That girl knows what she's doing. So in conclusion, Krutika has a great reputation online. She's very hardworking, she's very consistent. She's also breaking the Internet algorithm, and making a huge name for herself. I mean, I can understand why people would want to copy her. I just still don't know why someone like Kika Kim would copy her. Let's have a look at some of these reels and I'll let you guys be the judge.
[5:12]That is actually wild. Like, those of you who watch my videos, you would have seen like the one that I made about Yui Tra. That girl copied other influencers from their movement to the way they move their facial expressions, and even the outfits. Pa pa pa pa pa pa.
[5:29]Man, Kika Kim is on the same level. What's going on here?
[5:38]The glasses to the freaking background. They have the same background, like the sky with the clouds. Even the same facial expressions, like Like even the same background, like on a bus, and even showcasing like buildings as well. Like from the editing to the facial expressions, to the angle, to the movement, to the same hairstyle. Like, what is going on here? I'm not gonna lie, this is a little bit embarrassing. You could have done this in a gazillion other ways. Without copying someone like this, facial expressions and angles and different backdrops. This is definitely plagiarism.
[6:30]Okay, she definitely copied her with this one. Literally the same dance moves. At least this time she has a completely different hairstyle. The facial expressions, the dances are very, very similar.
[6:42]This is far from inspiration. This is copying. This is definitely copying. Even like having the mom with the same subtitles as well, like stay at home, don't go to school. Some of you guys might think, well, what's wrong with it? If they're both influencers and influencers are supposed to influence, so what's wrong with copying influencers? There are reasons why plagiarism and copying people is illegal. It is taken really, really seriously in the eye of the law. What's the Difference Between Plagiarism and Inspiration? Now, copying is replicating someone else's work, while being inspired means taking elements from others and infusing them with your own creativity and perspective. The difference lies in originality. Copying is lazy, and copying lacks personal input, and personal efforts and creativity. Whereas inspiration speaks innovation, transforming other people's ideas and the inspiration you get from them into something that's uniquely yours.
[8:12]I'm sorry, but even this makes me angry, and I don't even know any of them. This makes Yui Tra look like an angel. Like, what is going through Kika Kim's mind when she's doing this? Like she's never going to get found out? Like Krutika doesn't need to copy anyone. She's clearly doing very well. I don't think she cares because she's getting views. This is why Kika Kim's copying her. But like if Krutika wanted, she could easily, easily. She could easily sue Kika Kim. Like she actually could. I think Krutika's like actually being nice and not saying anything and ratting her out. Because what is going on here? The subtitles, even the angle of the phone with Bestie coming down with exactly the same message, I got hit by a bus. Which is kinda sad, that's not really funny. But anyway, and the same expressions, the same movement, everything to the absolute T. I think I've seen enough to make my statement. Where's my hammer? I need to get a hammer. To, I hear by announce that Kika Kim is an official copycat. What's with the accent? Okay, so right now we have very important information. Giveaway time!

Let's get winning! And let's get back to the rest of the video.
[10:33]Her channel is very similar to the Billion Surprise Toys where it's very promotional at its core. It's to promote something all the time from junk food to more food to traveling to buying houses, to makeup, to skincare, to their more food. Like, don't content creators that live like this just feel like a massive consumer and wasteful? Just like a big waste. It seems so gluttonous. Everyone is just flexing now. No, seriously, why are all content creators flexing? It's like the first thing they do when they get rich is flex, flex, flex. Like it's so freaking 2015. Right. Okay, you make money and then you flex, and then you make money out of flexing. The amount of waste some of these content creators make just single-handedly from one video, it's absolutely disgusting. And the people that support this type of stuff, grow up. That's all. And you know, I looked into Kika Kim's things, right? Her videos and content. And her demographic is very young. Like we're speaking like as young as like a five-year-old, from five to maybe the age of 21, right? Maybe some even younger, maybe some older, but that is the main demographic, the average demographic, from five to 21. She posts some things and I'm like, Oh my gosh. What are you guys doing?
[13:03]First of all, the girl at the back looks like a straight-up hooker with her outfit. Shocking. Kika Kim, like, okay, her outfit's not that bad, right? She is 25 after all. It's not that bad. But the girl at the back needs an intervention. And what's with the dude in the back? What is he wearing? Like, is he gay? People are like, what is that guy wearing? Why does she have a very, very, very, very short skirt? Does anyone hear the ending of the song? Oh my gosh, what is he wearing? Does anyone, will talk about that guy's clothes? Does anyone want to talk about spelling? Because I can't read it. I just don't know why content creators that entertain children have to get sexual. It's like it's weird, man. You could have done it without being sexual. There are hundreds of thousands of creators out there that made money, that's been successful, that has fame without getting sexual. I don't know what it is. I think maybe they don't have self-control, they just can't help themselves. They want to get intimate with the fans. It's weird. It's doing it the wrong way. It's doing it the weird way. Healthy intimacy is showing vulnerability, is being honest and truthful, relating to people, it's sharing your stories. It's not smiling all the time and showing your boom-booms and your peaches out to them, right? Real vulnerability comes from the ability to communicate properly, right? When you're emotional, do you have emotional outbursts? Do you ignore people? Or are you the type of person that speaks nicely to someone and communicate how you feel without being overly emotional? Right? These things that people overlook that are way more valuable than what you wear, what you look like, where you live. These golden honorable traits that people will start appreciating as you grow older, like your boss or your future partner, or a really good company, or really really amazing friends in the future. These type of abilities and qualities, you know, the ability to communicate, the ability to truly care for other people, the ability to save money, the ability to make money, the ability to protect yourself and dress appropriately, the ability to be intelligent, and also not over-consume and think about other people and the environment, and being selfless. These type of qualities are what truly valuable people look for and not consuming or consumerism or how rich you are or how beautiful you are. Trust me, those things get old as you grow up. It might be cute when you're like from 19 to 23. Once you reach a certain age, trust me, people with actual values would not give a crap about that type of stuff. There are hot young people every freaking year. They're always coming out, right? They're everywhere. We don't lack hot people. We really don't. We don't lack hot people, Instagram famous people. We don't lack TikTok dancers, right? Who has all attitude, but no intelligence or kindness, right? Who is all about self-love and her priorities are first. We don't lack people like that. They're everywhere. You can see it on the Internet. They're everywhere. We lack genuine people that care for other people, who say the truth, who are confident in themselves, without all that type of stuff. We lack good characters, we lack unshakable characters. We lack people with discipline, intellect, wisdom. This is what the world truly lacks. And this again is what great companies, friends, partners, universities, or whatever, this is what they actually look for. Trust me when I say this, and if you don't believe me, you might have to go down the hard way to learn and then come back and tell me I'm right. But don't ever lose your soul in pursuit of money in your dream life, please do not ever lose your soul. And that is all today. Thank you guys so much for watching.
