The 19-year-old streamer’s arrival at Ben Thanh Market caused a surge of excitement, with fans quickly recognizing him. Security personnel had to intervene, even closing the market doors temporarily to manage the crowd.

IShowSpeed, known for his energetic live streams, continued his exploration of the city, visiting notable sites such as Nguyen Hue walking street, the Museum of Jewelry of 54 Ethnic Groups, and Landmark 81. At each stop, eager fans gathered to take pictures, give him traditional Vietnamese gifts like the non la hat, and show their admiration.

One of the highlights of his trip was visiting a famous banh mi shop in District 1, where IShowSpeed learned to make and taste one of the city's priciest sandwiches, priced at 68,000 VND (approximately $2.80).

The banh mi, stuffed with cold cuts, pâté, sausage, and pickled vegetables, delighted the YouTuber, who shared his excitement during a live stream to his 27 million followers.

The YouTuber’s visit to Vietnam was primarily for a luxury car event in Ho Chi Minh City on September 15, but he also made time to experience local culture by riding a motorbike through the bustling streets of the city.

IShowSpeed surprised by the warmth of his Vietnamese fans.
