In the Barbie movie Ryan Gosling sings a song called "I'm Just Ken."
No matter what the song says, there’s nothing “just” about his Ken portrayal. Ken’s bleached blonde hair, iconic one-liners, and Mojo Dojo Casa House have already won over fans — and his catchy song has prompted people on TikTok to celebrate the Kens in their lives. The “My Ken” TikTok trend is everywhere on the app, and the #MyKen hashtag has 48 million views.
"My kens job is fly" TikToker Hannah Rames writes as she shows her partner in his flight suit. The tend also includes listing your Ken's accessories, like headphones or gaming controllers.
Some Barbies are still looking for their Kens. TikToker @theabbymurphy says she wants a Ken whose job is "trust fund."
This trend is pretty simple, assuming you have a Ken handy. All you have to do is describe your Ken’s job (or hobby) in the simplest possible terms.
