If you’ve been on TikTok long enough, you’ve probably seen the viral “Hongdae Guy” meme floating around.
Known for his cheeky one-liners like “Are you open mindeu?” and exaggerated skits about Korean men approaching foreign women, the man behind the persona—Sean Solo—has just touched down in Malaysia.
He’s in Sunway, and yes, he wants to meet people
On his Instagram Stories, Sean revealed that he’s currently in Malaysia and is spending time around the Sunway area.
In his own words, “The people and food here is great,” and he’s welcoming anyone who wants to say hi or hang out.
If you see me, come say hi… because I like the Malaysia girls,” he said.
Who is Sean Solo aka ‘Hongdae Guy’?
Sean Solo is a Korean-Canadian TikToker who blew up online for his humorous portrayal of a certain type of guy commonly associated with Seoul’s Hongdae nightlife scene.
His skits often involve him approaching girls with confident (yet slightly cringey) lines, flashy phones, and awkward English.
Now that he’s in Malaysia, fans are curious to see whether the “Hongdae energy” will continue—and whether he’ll film a local version of his skits here.
