One netizen successfully identified the handsome “player” as Kim Yosh, who had a TikTok account of his own where he displayed his many athletic talents.

Although he was correctly identified, there was one problem… Kim Yosh, who currently has over 38,000 followers on TikTok (@kimyosh8), is a Korea and LA-based “AI boyfriend.”

Netizens hilariously cursed how eerily realistic AI has become, though many caught on when looking at the warped logos on his jersey.
