A virtual influencer and honorary ambassador of the Korea Tourism Organisation (KTO) is receiving flak for looking a little too similar to South Korean stars like Irene of K-pop girl group Red Velvet.
According to a report by Korea JoongAng Daily in July, KTO said the model it created, named Lizzie Yeo, was 22 years old and “has been introducing Korean culture and tourist attractions online since last December”.
