Anok Yai Becomes Viral Sensation

People Are Talking About This 19-Year-Old College Beauty Whose Photos Leaked Online


Anok Yai went from being relatively unknown to becoming a viral sensation who is about to have her dreams fulfilled.

Yai, 19,  a student of Biochemistry at Plymouth State University was having a good time at Howard University’s homecoming when a photographer began taking photos of her.

She said to Yahoo:

“A friend of mine and I decided to travel to Washington, D.C., to attend Howard University’s Homecoming

It wasn’t until later that evening that I picked up my phone and found hundreds of Instagram notifications piling in. Before all this happened, I had around 150 followers and was getting about 20 to 30 likes on each photo, and then suddenly, these numbers skyrocketed in a matter of hours.”

The first three comments on the photo say it all: “She’s a beaut!” “She’s perfect,” “She’s amazing.” Then there were comments from those hoping that Yai is a model, “Please tell me she’s modeling.”

One follower wrote. “Oh my lord! Look at God’s work, wow!! She is runway ready. I feel bad for the dude who was nervous to talk to her. She’s a gem.”

“We need @anookyai to model merchandise for Oceanairs Republic. #wordup,” gushed another. “An agency needs to sign her ASAP,” demanded a third. “Give her a contract.”

While most wanted her to start modeling, others assumed the beauty had already graced catwalks and magazine covers. “Yeah I def thought this was some famous model!” someone said.

Surprisingly, Yai, who moved to the United States in 2000, has never modeled. She said: “I’ve always thought about modeling,” It’s a dream that I’ve wanted for a long time, but always pushed to the side because of self-doubt and distractions from school. Now I see this dream as something a lot more obtainable.”

The young beauty has not yet come to terms with the sudden notoriety. In her words, “All this attention and praise is definitely hard to wrap my head around. These comments took me by surprise.”
