Two American men broke into a Japanese zoo to promote meme coins, once again confirming that meme coin marketing is sliding into social news and extreme behaviors. This is not an isolated incident; at the end of last year, the "Crypto Robin Hood" LUIGI meme coin saw its market value surge due to news of a shooting incident, indicating that some market participants are using social malicious events as fuel for hype. The key point of the current event is that the intruders wore blue suits mimicking meme coin emoji symbols, which was not a random costume but an awkward "translation" of online cultural symbols into the offline physical world, attempting to create tangible viral spread. This crossing from online community memes to offline illegal activities could lead to stricter global regulatory scrutiny, bringing unnecessary compliance risks to the entire meme coin sector.

On May 20, according to BBC reports, two American men were arrested last Sunday for breaking into the Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan. The zoo houses a young monkey named Punch, who became popular earlier this year on social media. 24-year-old Reid Jahnai Daysun climbed over the fence into the monkey enclosure, while 27-year-old Neal Jabahri Duan filmed the entire process. After the incident, police in Chiba Prefecture, a suburb of Tokyo, detained the two. Video shows Daysun wearing a blue suit printed with smiling face emojis, climbing into the monkey enclosure.
The report states that Daysun's peculiar outfit seems to imitate the emojis usually used to promote meme coins in cryptocurrency. Before being apprehended by security personnel, these individuals did not contact Punch or other monkeys.
Ichikawa City Zoo stated on Monday that they have reported the incident to the police and are taking measures to prevent similar events from happening again. The two men are currently facing charges of obstructing business activities, but they deny these charges. $MEME
