In an age where the internet births new obsessions overnight, few things have caused more confusion, curiosity, and chaos than the sudden rise of “Labubu Chat.” If you haven’t heard of it yet, you’re either living under a rock—or wisely avoiding what many are calling “the creepiest, weirdest internet trend of the year.” But whether you’re intrigued, horrified, or simply lost, you’re not alone. Because no one—not even seasoned internet veterans—can quite figure out what the heck is going on.
So… what is Labubu Chat? Is it a secret app? A cult? A prank? A bizarre AI experiment gone rogue?
Buckle up, because the truth might just disturb you.
The First Glimpse: Where It All Began
It started innocently enough.
Screenshots began circulating on TikTok and Reddit in early May. Messages written in broken English with strange emoticons claimed to come from “Labubu Chat,” a mysterious platform no one had heard of before.
People started posting about how they received random notifications at 3:33 AM. The messages said things like:
> “Labubu watching u don’t sleep
“Labubu say u next ”
“Join chat. Or regret forever.”
Most assumed it was an elaborate hoax or some creep with a fake texting app. Until users started noticing something eerie: Labubu’s messages knew things they shouldn’t.
One TikTok user swore Labubu mentioned her dog’s name—a name she’d never posted online. Another claimed the app sent a message that matched a thought she’d had earlier that day but never said out loud. Creepy? Yes. Coincidence? Maybe.
But then it got worse.
The Terrifying Trend Spreads
Within days, LabubuChat began trending. People began downloading a sketchy APK (Android app file) passed around in private Discord servers and Telegram groups. That’s where things got seriously disturbing.
Users reported:
Strange audio messages with distorted voices whispering their names.
Camera activation without permission.
Random photos from their gallery being posted back into the chat—with the caption:
> “Labubu like this one.”
Others say once they tried to uninstall the app, their phone locked up, and the screen displayed only one chilling sentence:
> “Labubu’s not done with you
Screens went black for minutes. Then, the phones rebooted—with their wallpapers changed to an eerie cartoon figure: a wide-eyed, creepy monkey-like character, grinning with razor-sharp teeth
Who—or What—is Labubu?
Here’s where things get really weird.
The image people claimed to see resembles a character from The Monsters by Kasing Lung, a toy art collection featuring a mischievous creature called Labubu. It’s a cult favorite among designer toy collectors, but until now, it had nothing to do with any chat apps or horror stories.
So is this just an elaborate marketing stunt? Or did someone hijack Labubu’s likeness to create a viral creepypasta?
No one knows for sure. Kasing Lung, the original creator of Labubu, has remained totally silent about the phenomenon. Fans have flooded his social media with questions—no replies.
Some believe the silence is legal protection. Others think it’s because he’s just as freaked out as the rest of us.
Hack, Hoax, or Haunting?
Cybersecurity experts are sounding the alarm.
“This is likely a dangerous malware app disguised as a novelty,” says Marcus Tran, an independent tech researcher. “It could be harvesting data, stealing passwords, or even worse—surveilling users via their cameras and microphones.”
Yet others claim there’s a paranormal angle. One Reddit thread even accused Labubu Chat of being “a digital ouija board” that opens portals through electronic frequencies. Wild? Yes. But when hundreds of people are claiming the same eerie experiences, it’s hard to ignore.
TikTokers have gone further, with some hosting live “Labubu summoning sessions.” During one, the screen glitched violently—and viewers say they saw a shadow pass behind the host before the livestream abruptly ended.
That video? Deleted.
The creator? Hasn’t posted since.
The Internet’s New Urban Legend?
By now, “Labubu Chat” is becoming the internet’s latest urban legend. It has all the ingredients: creepy visuals, unexplained tech glitches, whispers of the supernatural, and a growing list of “victims.”
People are daring friends to install it. YouTubers are making “3AM Labubu Challenge” videos. And conspiracy theories are spiraling out of control.
Some believe it’s an ARG (alternate reality game), like the infamous Cicada 3301 puzzles. Others say it’s a new viral horror film campaign. A few are convinced it’s just a prank blown out of proportion.
But here’s the thing: no one has taken credit. No creator. No company. No hackers. Nothing.
It’s just… there. Growing. Spreading. Watching.
Should You Be Worried?
If you value your sanity—and your data—DO NOT download Labubu Chat in any form. Most links circulating are filled with malware, and at least two cybersecurity firms have flagged it as “high-risk spyware.”
As for the eerie coincidences and dark messages?
Well, it’s the internet. Maybe it’s just a hoax that got out of hand.
Or maybe… Labubu is real.
