“Is That Faker?” Beatboxer WING Goes Viral for Sounding Like a DJ Machine

Meet WING: The Beatboxing Sensation Blowing Up the Internet

Gunho Kim, professionally known as WING, is taking the internet by storm with his mind-blowing beatboxing skills. The South Korean beatboxer has built a reputation for his uncanny ability to mimic DJ equipment, producing sounds so precise that many listeners mistake his beats for actual turntables and synthesizers.

Recently, WING’s video “Dopamine” has gone viral, amassing over 4 million views in less than a month since its release on YouTube. The video has sparked a wave of reaction content from fans and fellow beatboxers, further fueling its meteoric rise.

WING is widely regarded as one of the most innovative beatboxers in the global scene. According to Beatbox Fandom, he has been praised for his exceptional musicality, technical precision, and unique flow. His distinct style has earned him a dedicated fanbase and recognition from some of the biggest names in the beatboxing community.

The virality of Dopamine was amplified by major reaction videos, including one from Julius Treike (Chezame)—a five-time beatbox champion with over 7 million TikTok followers and 2 million YouTube subscribers. Chezame’s reaction video alone racked up over 9 million views, drawing even more attention to WING’s skills.

But it’s not just beatboxers who are in awe. Musicians, DJs, and even people outside the music world have been blown away by WING’s DJ-mimicking beats. Adding to the buzz, many fans have pointed out his striking resemblance to gaming legend Faker, further fueling the conversation online.

The Faker Doppelgänger & K-pop Covers

Beyond his auditory talents, WING has sparked conversations due to his striking resemblance to Faker, the legendary South Korean professional gamer known for his dominance in the game League of Legends. This uncanny similarity has led to a flurry of online comments and memes, blending the worlds of esports and music.

WING has not officially collaborated with mainstream K-pop artists, but his passion for K-pop is evident through his creative projects. His group, BEATPELLA HOUSE, released a K-POP MEDLEY (BEATBOX), showcasing unique beatbox interpretations of popular K-pop tracks. The tracks include BLACKPINK, TWICE, aespa, LISA, NCT U, Stray Kids, NMIXX, BTS, RIIZE, and BABYMONSTER among others.

They also shared a beatbox cover of LE SSERAFIM’s song CRAZY on Instagram, further highlighting their engagement with K-pop. While a direct collaboration with idols has yet to happen, WING’s innovative beatbox covers continue to bridge the gap between beatboxing and K-pop, resonating with fans of both genres.

Fans and celebrities alike have flooded the comment sections with praise, humor, and disbelief. Some of the most upvoted comments include:
