Nowadays, internet celebrities (网红) are very common. 但是今天介绍给大家的是最近火到出圈的——IShowSpeed！也就是网友口中的“甲亢哥”！

01. Who is “甲亢哥” ? 他是谁？

Speed (“甲亢哥”网名) is a 20-year-old YouTuber from the U.S., who went absolutely viral (走红) during his recent trip to China.

His videos from this trip got millions of views (浏览量)—and not just on YouTube, but also reposted (转发) across Chinese social platforms like Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, and Douyin! One of his livestreams (直播) from China hit three million views, 有一场直播甚至长达6个小时！

People call him “甲亢哥” because he is extremely energetic (活力满满) in front of the camera, always jumping around and shouting. Netizens gave him this nickname as a playful joke (玩笑话) , but it also carries a sense of affection (喜爱). The literal meaning of “甲亢哥” is hyperthyroidism.

Basically, hyper energy + chaotic charm =甲亢哥

hyperthyroidism 甲状腺功能亢进症

02. Speed’s China Tour “甲亢哥”的中国行

Speed has been traveling for a while—Japan, Korea, Portugal (葡萄牙)—but his China trip hits different (有所不同).

He wore a big floral padded jacket (东北大花袄), tried stinky tofu (臭豆腐), danced in public squares (跳广场舞) with kids, walked the streets of Chengdu, got mobbed (围住) by fans...

He wasn’t just a tourist snapping pics (打卡拍照的游客). 他真的不是“走马观花”的那种游客，而是深入体验了中国文化。当尝试臭豆腐时，他说“This smells horrible... but tastes amazing (闻起来臭，吃起来香) !”。

Even though he’s an international star, in China, he was completely natural—zero “celebrity distance.” (完全没有名人的那种“距离感”) 比如他会在街头吃路边摊、跟路人跳广场舞，还会用超搞笑的方式学中文。People find him really down to earth and relatable (接地气又让人有共鸣).

Netizens say he’s “crazy but real (疯得很真实)”. You feel like he’s that hilarious (搞笑的) friend everyone has.

And the way he genuinely explored China made a lot of people think: “Maybe we should be more open to other cultures, too.”

03. Iconic Moments from the Comment Section 评论区名场面

他的评论区有很多人留言。There is a funny comment from his kung fu video, “2% kung fu, 95% bald, 3% screaming”. 意思是他的主要“成分”是秃头和吼叫，还有一点点功夫（视频里他戴了一个光头套——bald cap）。

And here’s another really sweet comment from YouTube:

“China stream has been by far the best stream ever for IShowSpeed. The people. The authenticity (真实). The vibe (氛围). It was all right. Never judge a book by its cover (封面). He went up against a lot of pressure not to go to China, but he did—and it turned out amazing.”

“Organic interactions will always trump forced ones （自然的互动总是胜过被迫的）.”

He’s sincere—you can feel his genuine curiosity and reactions (真正的好奇心和互动).

04. Embassy Notices Speed's Viral Fame! “甲亢哥”火爆出圈，惊动大使馆！

The Chinese Embassy in the U.S. posted about IShowSpeed’s trip on X (原推特). IShowSpeed’s China trip really showed people a different side of China—warm, real, full of life (温暖、真实、充满活力).

IShowSpeed, an American YouTuber, has garnered (获得) immense (巨大的) attention for his travel experiences in China. He not only visited multiple cities but also immersed himself in the local culture (沉浸式体验当地文化).
