Paul Kim

Paul Kim, yeah, that name’s buzzing around lately thanks to “1 Million Followers” (2024). The movie’s basically a wild ride through the digital jungle, and honestly, it taps right into that modern obsession with fame and online validation. So, you’ve got this guy—Paul. Nothing fancy, just an average dude with dreams bigger than his tiny apartment. One day, he gets it in his head that he needs a million followers. Not wants—needs. Like, his life depends on it. Social media’s his battleground, and the stakes? Pretty much his sanity, his friendships, and maybe even his grip on reality. He starts pulling all sorts of stunts for clout—cringe comedy, viral challenges, even stuff that gets him in trouble with the law. People start tuning in, first just a trickle, then it snowballs ‘til he’s this online sensation. But here’s where it gets messy. The more followers pile up, the emptier he feels. Friends? Ghosted. Family? Barely speaking. It’s like every “like” and “share” is another nail in the coffin of his real-life connections. The film isn’t just about chasing numbers, though—it’s a dig at the whole influencer culture and the price folks pay for that fifteen minutes of internet fame. Paul Kim totally nails that mix of desperation and charisma, making you cringe and root for him all at once. It’s funny, it’s awkward, and, honestly, it’s a bit uncomfortable—kinda like scrolling your feed at 2am, wondering, “What am I even doing here?”
