She
is just 5-years-old but already has millions following her on
Instagram. internet sensation Breanna Youn has swapped a cramped flat
with her parents and brother for a Hollywood star’s jetset lifestyle.
The
little girl has been flown business class around the world and showered
with presents worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, from Louis Vuitton
handbags and Chanel and Tiffany jewellery to designer outfits, banquets
and hampers laden with chocolates and cookies.
Rarely
a day goes by when there is not another surprise gift arriving on her
doorstep – all because her mother started posting cute pictures of her
online.
The Breanna effect snowballed when wealthy, high-profile
Emiratis in the United Arab Emirates spotted the cute Korean girl’s
short videos on the picture sharing website Instagram.
In them, she dances along to Korean pop music, sings along to Miley Cyrus and poses with designer handbags.
When
the Emiratis began reposting her videos six months ago, Breanna came to
the attention of web surfers across the Middle East, where internet
usage is as high as 77 per cent.
Her
mother Jocelyn, 27, responded by teaching her phrases in Arabic gleaned
off YouTube and signing off each video with the Arabic word ‘bosaah’,
meaning kisses, and the fans followed in their droves.
Her wealthy
fans in the Middle East even flew her from her home in South Korea to
Dubai, where her family has been put up for free in five star hotels
since May and chauffeur driven in limos.
