people who lie about their origins to succeed on social media

I discovered that on YouTube there are people who invent their origins to become popular and gain subscribers. One girl in particular says she's from North Korea, but she's French from France. She claims to have fled and learned French in France, but she speaks like a native French person with expressions that even I haven't managed to learn yet. She doesn't want to explain her background because it's personal, but we all know she's lying. What do you think of these people? Are they just Asian-obsessed fans? that disgusting

Why lie about it ? You’ll get found out eventually.

It's all about the money: more views/followers=more money. People will do just about anything for money.

Just think, in Italy there are arabic people who consider themselves Italian

Yeah, it's strange; I guess it might be a combination of: wanting attention, creating a follow and, maybe, a bit of an asian obession that it is raging in the western world. I definitely understand how it might be upsetting for you though, it's just wrong.
