Watch: Korean Man Wows Internet As 'Kanha' in Viral Janmashtami Video
As India celebrated Lord Krishna's birth on Janmashtami, a Korean man went viral on social media for dressing up as the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The user took to Instagram to share the now-viral clip, which shows him dressed up as young Lord Krishna, fondly called 'Kanha', which garnered an overwhelming positive response from the internet. "Happy Sri Krishna Janmashtami. May us all be blessed with health, peace and prosperity. Presenting our very own Krishna @baeyunsooo. Yunsoo truly embodies Kanha's spirit, his natkhat pan, pyaara pan, compassion, charm, and beauty all shine through in the way he lives & how he is," wrote fashion designer Aanchal Aware, who dressed up their friend Yunsoo as Lord Krishna. Akin to how Lord Krishna is depicted in Indian scriptures, Yunsoo could be seen wearing a dhoti whilst being adorned with various ornaments. The entire look was completed with the iconic peacock feather feature on the head and a flute in the hand. "Just like Kanha's presence could light up hearts, this human is the sunshine of my life and my family's too. Seeing him dressed as Krishna, he looked even more beautiful than I had imagined," Ms Aware added. She added that her mother and sister had helped her source everything for the get-up, all the way from India.

Divine depictions mark Lord Krishna's birthday
Boothavakam, the fearsome tale of Bakasuran's destruction, frozen in mid-moment, stood in one corner. A few steps away, children giggled as they pointed at Krishna, his cheeks and little palms smeared with butter, caught in the act of stealing from clay pots. In another corner, the Rasleela unfolded in a swirl of colour and music. The exhibition at Geeta Bhavan in Gopalapuram brimmed with many functional displays — snapshots of epics brought to life. From Sita's marriage to Rama and Arjuna's wedding to Draupadi, to Sabari's devotion, the bridge to Lanka, Hanuman swallowing the sun, Ravana's abduction of Sita, and even the divine union of Shiva and Parvati, these moments are deeply ingrained in India's storytelling traditions. Visitors lingered at each stop — at Gajendra Moksham, Krishna lifting Govardhana, the tableau of Kusela's friendship — absorbing not just mythology but also the artistry and devotion behind them. This three-day exhibition, inaugurated on Saturday evening by Santosh Kumar, Inspector General of Police (Economic Offences Wing, Tamil Nadu), was the heart of the 35th annual Sri Krishna Janmashtami celebrations organised by the Shree Geeta Bhavan Trust. Paired with rituals, competitions, and performances, the display transformed Geeta Bhavan Hall into a living tapestry of stories, making mythology not just remembered but experienced.
