I think the company who made the video just did it to advertise their Yuksung Cereal. Asian Fred basically acts like those famous people in commercials who are all like "I use this product so you should too" at the end of the video. This is also pretty evident when you read the description ("What is New Fred's favorite kind of cereal to eat for breakfast or any time? Watch and find out!")
Very low to do this and the kid is going to get a lot of negative reactions. |

| Oh, I know it is. I wonder if people in South Korea find that video humorous. Or does anybody over there even know Fred exists? |

@Bravo some Korean company took over Fred's YouTube channel we don't know if it was hacked or he sold it to them yet
but anyway now a 10 year old Korean kid is calling himself the new and superior Fred and trying wayyy too hard to be funny. i mean, Fred did too, but at least he isn't a ripoff and at least he was one of the first YouTubers (that i know of) to use that random sort of humor |

| If you type Yuksung in google translate then translate it in Korean then back in English you get something odd. |

They also have a page on Fred: "Yuksung Corporation has recently acquired YouTube’s leading children’s channel, FRED. In a world with countless entertainment options, FRED stands above the rest, so a partnership with Yuksung Corporation was only natural. We are dedicated to family-friendly entertainment, while instilling a good moral core in children. We are excited to expand on Fred’s legacy of fun, high-energy comedy. From the brand you trust, Yuksung, comes NEW FRED!"
PFFFFFT like that Korean kid pretending to be Fred can make me laugh. |
