(Video) Fans Amused By ZEROBASEONE Matthew's Cat Making Surprise Debut During Livestream
Most celebrities prefer to keep their personal lives as private as possible, particularly if they are K-pop idols. After frightening experiences with sasaengs, it is hardly surprising that these artists choose to remain silent on deeply personal matters. That said, many are happy to share moments of bonding with their pets.
Speaking of pets, fans discovered something new about ZEROBASEONE (제로베이스원) member Matthew (석매튜). During a recent livestream, the idol could no longer keep his furry friend a secret after it 'attacked' him from behind. Here's what happened:
Earlier this week, Matthew hosted a livestream to show off his Pokémon card collection. However, throughout the broadcast, fans noticed odd sounds in the background, such as meowing and movement behind the singer. The 23-year-old appeared to brush it off and made efforts to keep the mysterious guest out of sight.
Unfortunately for him, the cat was out of the bag (quite literally). Just as he was about to showcase a Pokémon card, two paws appeared around the idol's neck, and the look of defeat on his face made it clear he could no longer keep it a secret. He made a few final attempts to hide his furry friend before finally giving in and introducing his cat to fans with a few hugs and kisses. The moment quickly went viral on social media, with many surprised to learn that the K-pop artist has a cat, something he had never shared publicly.
Not long after the livestream ended, Matthew took to Weverse to officially introduce fans to his Siamese cat, Gia, short for Lugia, after the legendary Pokémon also known as the Guardian of the Seas. He revealed that he had only recently adopted him.
Fans reacted to the viral moment, with many describing the livestream as chaotic as they watched the idol try to hide his pet. Others commented on how adorable the singer and his cat looked together on camera. Some were entertained by how Gia appeared to 'attack' his human companion from behind to reveal himself to the audience.
Judging by his attempts, it was clear that Matthew was not ready to share Gia with the rest of the world, but his cat had other plans, so it seems. Regardless, fans will no doubt be looking forward to more Gia content in the future.

Khaby Lame detained in Las Vegas immigration incident, leaves US
He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. 12 Jun 2025 04:09pm The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated "life hacks." - Photo source: Khaby Lame/FB NEW YORK - Khaby Lame, the widely popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the United States after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa, Xinhua reported. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained on Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed in a statement.

The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated "life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. "His detainment and voluntary departure from the United States comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority," noted the report. A voluntary departure, which was granted to Lame, allows those facing removal from the United States to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the country for up to a decade. - BERNAMA-XINHUA More Like This

Young Malaysians Belting Out 'Pretty Little Baby' – TikTok Helps Oldies Live On
Subscribe to our FREE There was a time not that long ago when using background music in your videos could get you in serious trouble. Posting a clip with your favorite song on platforms like YouTube or Instagram often meant facing a copyright strike, video takedown, or worse, getting your account flagged. This made it really hard for everyday users to be creative and musical at the same time. But then came TikTok, and everything changed. No More Fear of Copyright Strikes TikTok made background music accessible thanks to its licensing deals with record labels. The app lets users easily add popular songs, indie tracks, or even viral sounds directly to their videos — no complicated editing needed, and no risk of getting in trouble. With this, old songs are getting rediscovered, and new artists are going viral overnight. One such song to make waves again is Connie Francis' Pretty Little Baby. For many of us who listen to oldies, we'd be going 'Huh? What do you mean making waves? That is a timeless classic! It's been in my playlist forever!' While you do get points for having good taste in music, you also have to understand that many of the kids today are no longer familiar with 'oldies but goodies'. They may recognise snippets of it here and there because mom and dad are still listening to it, but that's about it. READ MORE: Who's that Pretty Little Baby? In a surprising twist of musical fate, Francis' Pretty Little Baby has gone viral on TikTok and Instagram. On TikTok alone, the audio is tied to over a million videos. The track from the golden age of pop has been rediscovered by a younger audience, with users creating nostalgic montages, emotional storytime videos, and vintage-inspired edits that feature her unmistakable voice. First time I've lip-synched to this 63 year old recording of mine! Though decades have passed since its original release, the song's raw emotion and melodic richness have proven timeless. It's been trending so much of late that Francis herself has now set up a TikTok account, possibly to see what it's all about. Now in her late 80s, Francis responded to the viral revival with heartfelt gratitude. With only two videos posted so far, Francis' first video has amassed six million views. 'I'm flabbergasted and excited about the huge buzz my 1962 recording of Pretty Little Baby is making all over the world. To think that a song I recorded 63 years ago is captivating new generations of audiences is truly overwhelming for me. Thank you TikTok,' she said in the video. My thanks to you all for the huge reception you have given to 'Pretty Little Baby'. I am delighted to join the TikTok Community and share this moment with you. Malaysians joining the trend The song is also a hit among local TikTok users, with one girl posting a Bahasa Melayu version of it last month. Perhaps without realising, the song is also used as It's most common use is in lip sync videos. A Look Back at Connie Francis' Legacy Born Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero in Newark, New Jersey, Connie Francis rose to fame in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Her breakthrough came in 1958 with the song 'Who's Sorry Now,' which was famously promoted on American Bandstand by Dick Clark. The track became an overnight sensation and marked the beginning of a stellar career. She was known for her ability to sing across genres, from pop and country to rock and roll and Italian ballads. Hits like 'Where the Boys Are,' 'Stupid Cupid,' 'Lipstick on Your Collar,' and 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool' showcased both her vocal versatility and emotional depth. Francis was also one of the first female pop stars to achieve international fame, recording in several languages and topping charts in countries around the world. Despite facing personal and professional challenges throughout her life, including struggles with mental health and surviving a traumatic assault in 1974, she remained a resilient figure and a trailblazer for women in music.
