Her public image and fan perception was positive as well. Viewed as private and reserved, created both admiration and curiosity, fueling online discussions and rumors about her relationships and collaborations.

Controversies Surrounding MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil)
“Subway Sleeping Prank” Incident
One of MeiKCJ’s videos, where she pretended to fall asleep on strangers’ shoulders in a subway, sparked backlash. Critics found the prank disrespectful and invasive, leading to discussions about cultural sensitivity and personal boundaries.
NextShark, a leading source for Asian American news, even wrote about Mei Aljamil’s scandal in an scathing article: Colombian YouTuber Pretends to ‘Fall Asleep’ on Korean Men’s Shoulders, Some Call it ‘Disgusting’.
Perceived Fetishization of Korean Culture & Korean Men
Some viewers have accused MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) of “koreaboo” behavior, a term used to describe non-Koreans who excessively emulate Korean culture in a superficial manner.
Critics argue that her content sometimes reduces Korean culture to mere trends for entertainment, rather than promoting genuine cultural appreciation. (Source: Pannchoa)
Clickbait Titles and Thumbnails
MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) has been noted for using sensationalized titles and thumbnails, such as “My Korean Boyfriend Reacts To Me In Sexy Outfits,” which some viewers feel exploit cultural stereotypes for views.
This approach has led to discussions about the ethics of using cultural identity for clickbait. (Source: Reddit)
Mei Aljamil Charging Fans for Access: $5 Lives and $60 KakaoTalk Messages
MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) stirred backlash when clips surfaced online showing her putting a price tag on fan interactions. In one viral YouTube video titled “Meickj en vivo deben de pagar 5$ por mis en vivos y 60$ por mi kakao” (translated: “For Meickj lives you have to pay $5 for my lives and $60 for my KakaoTalk”), fans expressed shock at the steep cost of engaging with her.
Considering KakaoTalk is Korea’s #1 free messaging app, the idea of paying $60 just for private access came off as exploitative to some. While some influencers charge for premium content or exclusive groups, Mei Aljamil’s approach was seen as a cash grab, especially when paired with her inactive YouTube channel and decreasing content output. This move fueled ongoing criticism that she monetizes her followers without providing consistent value in return.
Public Admiration for Logan Paul
Another eyebrow-raising controversy came from Mei Aljamil’s open admiration for Logan Paul, one of YouTube’s most polarizing figures. In a since-deleted post, she gushed:
“Probably gonna delete this tomorrow but this is the youngest person I admire @loganpaul 22 years old and billionaire. I hope you can enjoy this message! He has so many YouTube channels wooow he inspires me so much seriously. This video is on his vlog where he shows his new house (tomorrow I’ll delete this video).”
And in a follow-up, she doubled down, admitting her attraction:
“I think he looks extra sexy in this video. I’m going to delete this in a few hours, I just want to know if you guys like @loganpaul. He’s very strong, I have a crush.”
Fans criticized her for openly supporting Logan Paul, whose career has been marred by scandals, including the infamous 2017 video filmed in Japan’s Aokigahara forest, where he mocked a suicide victim. Beyond that, Logan Paul has faced backlash for animal cruelty allegations, offensive humor, and manipulative business schemes targeting young fans.
By publicly calling him her “inspiration” and even confessing a crush, MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) damaged her image among viewers who felt she was aligning herself with one of the internet’s most controversial personalities.
Rumored Relationships & Collaborations
- KenroVlogs: MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) appeared in a video titled Mi Novio Me Maquilla with the Japanese-descended YouTuber KenroVlogs. Fans believe they are just friends, but speculation about a romantic angle circulated briefly.
- Hansol / Minsung (Topp Dogg): On April 7 (year unspecified), MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) posted a video visiting Hansol’s home, cooking together. The video (533,000+ views) shows a close friendship and mutual respect, though fans have speculated about deeper ties.
- Zelo (B.A.P.): TikTok videos by @jumbogirly suggest MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) may have created content for Zelo. While no official confirmation exists, this has fueled rumors about a professional and possibly personal connection that goes beyond friendship.
- Haeppy: MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) also appeared in a YouTube video on her good friend Haeppy’s channel, featuring her, Zelo, and several others. At the time, Mei and Haeppy were confirmed roommates, which only added fuel to the speculation about how she became so closely connected with Zelo.
- MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) also collaborated with JREKML (Just Random Everyday Kpop, Music, Love), a popular YouTube channel run by JRE that’s best known for reaction videos to K-pop music videos.
- Unnamed Korean guy: About six years ago, MeiKCJ participated in a couple-themed contest on Reddit in the subreddit r/AsianDatingSuccess under the username u/MeiKCJ. She shared a couple photo for the #eastmeeteastworks contest and encouraged her followers to upvote it, writing in Spanish:
“Chicos por favor apoyenme ❤️ queremos ganar, si votan por nosotros estaremos muy agradecidos!” (“Guys, please support me ❤️ we want to win, if you vote for us we’ll be very grateful!”)
She also added a comment reminding voters to click the up arrow to support them.
- Other K-pop connections: Close ties with Hye Me (BP Rania), Yu Min (BP Rania), CoCo (CoCoSoRi), and attendance at multiple idol concerts may have contributed to occasional fan speculation about her personal life. She was also seen at Korean artist and producer Chancellor’s wedding.
LATAM Tour with Zelo: Collaboration & Viewer Reactions
Former B.A.P member Zelo announced his first solo dance workshop tour that included stops in Mexico and Brazil. The tour focuses on interactive dance workshops where fans can learn choreography, participate in Q&A sessions, and meet him in person. Countries included in the tour allowed Latin American fans a rare opportunity to engage directly with a K-pop idol.
TikTok videos and user comments suggest that MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) may have accompanied Zelo during this tour, potentially as a content creator documenting the events or assisting with fan engagement. No official confirmation from either party exists, but social media posts imply a professional collaboration.
Of course I had to look to comments to see what other tea there might be:
star_28lab: “Esa muchacha trata súper mal a Zelo” (This chick treats Zelo so badly) – suggesting perceived mistreatment of Zelo by MeiKCJ.
Gisee: “Uy pero siguen juntos, de hecho ahora están viajando juntos” (Oof they are still together, and in fact appears they are now travelling together) – indicating they appear to travel together.
JUMBO GIRL (original OP): Mentions seeing them online together and hints at uploading more videos of MeiKCJ working with Zelo.
Aye Meg: Notes a shift in perception, feeling MeiKCJ’s persona has changed since deleting content.
It also appears that MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) has deleted all her videos with B.A.P.’s Zelo from her Instagram page. However, if you search the web deep enough you can find them on X and other platforms where Mei Aljamil appears super cozy with Zelo. Here are just some I found:
Zelo was previously linked to another foreigner whom he confirmed he dated, a model named Sally (@sallydamn), who exposed their relationship on Instagram. Honestly, it wouldn’t shock me if Mei and Zelo had a fling. He’s already been linked to foreigners before, and I even got a hot tip straight from Korea that this might be true!
As of 2025, MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) and Zelo no longer follow each even though they were once buddied up together in many of Mei’s posts.
All traces of him are gone from her public profile, which in the mind of this author reads like a textbook breakup.
Where is MeiKCJ (Mei Aljamil) now?
As of the latest available information, MeiKCJ’s YouTube channel appears to be inactive, with no new content uploaded in recent years.
Her last known video was published over two years ago. It’s unclear whether she has transitioned to other platforms or taken a step back from public content creation.
@Meialjamil is currently living in Seoul, Korea as of 2026.
Have you heard of this creator? Still can’t believe it turned out to be that girl who did the awful subway prank.
