When TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew appeared before the US Congress to testify about TikTok's handling of user data as a platform, he probably didn't expect it to be the latest trend in his app. .
Chew is the focus of viral videos showing key moments of his testimony at a congressional hearing.

He won the support of many TikTok and Twitter users, who considered his treatment during the five-hour testimony to be unfair and deliberately malicious.

Several members of Congress seemed completely unaware of TikTok as an app, especially one who questioned whether or not TikTok could connect to home WiFi.
That's what people wanted and started to deal with Chew, his appearance (sex) and the way of communication.
