In recent weeks, K-pop idols such as IU and Shinee's Minho have been taking part in a viral trend that sees them putting their fingers on their eyebrows and lowering them down to form a heart. If you've seen these videos, you might have noticed a familiar accent.
Now before you scream Majulah Singapura, do note that @ummmyuhasdf – the TikToker whose voice is featured in the audio – is actually Malaysian and not a Singaporean.
After being misidentified as a Singaporean by local publications and commenters, @ummmyuhasdf uploaded a video on Thursday (May 30) showing his Malaysian passport.
In the video, the user jokes, while clutching the passport: "Awkward... You could have asked me before this, okay."
Addressing a comment which said, "They say don't judge the book by its cover", @ummmyuhasdf replied: "But please do judge the passport by its cover."
@ummmyuhasdf's video which sparked the trend has been viewed more than 17 million times. The audio has since been used by multiple celebrities including Nina from NiziU and Riku from NCT Wish.
