Social media trends come and go like the tide, but jaw-dropping fans seemingly being caught on camera in stadium stands is hanging around.
Videos have been shared online of stunning women supposedly being spotted by eagle-eyed TV camera operators and showing them on live feeds. Something that no one has ever asked for unless you work as a tone-deaf operator for live F1 broadcasts.
However, there is a growing trend of attention-hungry influencers and modes, teaming up with computer loners who have started using AI to generate clips that depict them as fans caught on camera in the stands at major live sporting events.

The bizarre trend first appeared to start in South Korea when a post captioned: “The average Korean woman” went viral on X, featuring a woman in the stands watching a Korea Baseball Organisation game between the Hanwha Eagles and Doosan Bears, racking up 15million views in just a matter of days.
However, the easy tell that the video was fake came from the created scoreboard in the top left corner that showed Kim Seo-hyeon as the pitcher and Jo In-seong named as the batter – despite Jo retiring in 2017 and never playing for Doosan Bears as a player before becoming team coach.
The trend has unfortunately spread across the world with the ‘World Cup’s sexiest fan’ Ivana Knoll even getting involved, despite having enough eye-catching real material to her name.
Ivana shared an AI video of her in the stands during a fabricated semi-final between Croatia and England at this summer’s World Cup.
The fake Knolldoll sits wearing a busty, low-cut red and white chequered crop top while smiling down the camera lens. Aside from the moody Croatia shirt one fan is wearing, the scoreboard time also stays at 67:00 and doesn’t count ahead.
Knoll also posted a hilarious AI video of her scoring some of the greatest goals in the last decade and lifting the World Cup in a figure-hugging leather outfit and high-heeled boots to advertise her song for this year’s tournament.
The trend has blown up in the States with multiple videos of gorgeous girls being portrayed in AI sitting in the stands and pretending to act nonchalant when the fake camera pans to them.
Even Russian influencer Esmi created an AI video of her supposedly at a 2023 Korean baseball game.
But hilariously, some users have started taking the mickey out of the sad trend by placing themselves on the bench at NBA games, or even putting Elon Musk in a stand speaking Korean surrounded by women.
Like the rest of the world, Korea has a problem with AI-generated videos being confused and taken as news or reality, but instead are just false reports.
Since January, Korea has been enforcing a law requiring disclosure labels on generative AI output that could be mistaken for reality.
But that law only applies to companies that develop and deploy AI models, not to everyday users.
