Moothew / Matthew Moo / Zesty Cow / You Found Your Moo

About

Moothew or Matthew Moo, also known as Zesty Cow or You Found Your Moo, is a viral video edit of a young cow referred to as "Moothew" who has had his moo replaced with an audio clip of K-pop singer Seok Matthew of Zerobaseone mooing, which has been described as "zesty," a slang term for gay or effeminate. The original, unedited video of the calf was uploaded to TikTok in October 2024 by user @farmgrrrrl and shows a calf named Daisy mooing for the first time.
