Who is Karen Ip (Fruitypoppin) and How Old is She?
Karen Ip was born on August 10, 2000, in Hong Kong, China, as the child of her parents who eventually moved to the West to Canada and raised their daughter in Toronto. Although her parents appear in many of her pictures and videos, not much is known about her parental background.

Since then, similarly fascinating videos on the @fruitypoppin account have helped her to over 1.3 million followers on the social media platform.
Due to Instagram’s limitations, especially with videos, Karen has expanded her social media presence on YouTube through the FruityPoppin channel, where she posts make-up videos, fun videos about her Asian culture, and question and answer sessions. Her style has been an effective tool to grow her account and she has been able to expand her YouTube channel, which she has been running since 2017, to over 700,000 subscribers, with several of her videos getting over a million views each. Some of Karen Ip’s most popular videos include Wait You’re Not 12? / Q&A, Sweet Dewy Sugar, No Honor Roll, No Spring Roll, and several others.
