KAITI YOO

Connections in a digital space that’s ever-evolving is something that’s easy to be found but difficult to maintain. As content creation grows into something more one-sided, it’s easier to develop parasocial connections over real ones. However, 23-year-old KAITI YOO has challenged that belief, especially for those in her ever-growing community. Her rise to influencer-dom began from YouTube videos she posted during the 2020 pandemic as a way to cope with her existential crisis (her words, not mine!). Through her fast-paced videos and meme-saturated content, all notably very Gen-Z, she garnered almost 845K subscribers across platforms since she began in 2020.
