taiwanese couple followmeto lu chien trio — Forrest Lu

Forrest Lu and Agnes Chien, a Taiwanese couple, are in the limelight after posting hilarious images as a parody of the incredibly popular #followmeto meme. If you are unfamiliar, #followmeto is a hashtag started by Murad Osmann in 2013, the images depict Osmann being led through a series of breathtaking landmarks by his girlfriend.

The #followmeto hashtag took off, quickly becoming popular and spawning a number of parodies and memes. These images from Lu and Chien hilariously depict Chien dragging an apparently hesitant Lu through these landmarks. She pulls him along by his hair, his ears, even his nostrils. While the scenes are not quite as epic as those depicted in #followmeto, these shots are an excellent example of turning a trend into your own.
